SwInG... sWiNg.... SwInG

The other day I got to watch my niece Megan and nephew Cooper while their dad was at school. We went to lunch and then their dad was done with class. We weren't ready to be done hanging out yet though, so we all went to the park together and played for a bit. All the kids had so much fun. I felt like a little kid again and even got on the swings and went as high as I could. I still love the swings. I also pushed Megan and Cooper as high as I could and ran under them. It reminded me of playing with my "cool" mom as a kid. I hope that I can always have this much energy to play with my kids and nieces and nephews. It was a good day at the park :) full of fun and memories!

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

We had so much fun this Halloween with all of our family and friends! I decided to make Carter a lion costume and from that we decided to do a family theme of the wizard of oz! After collecting some remnants from Joanns and a few things from the dollar store I was able to put together a lion and a scarecrow. My sister let me use her dorothy costume.. I just had to make some alterations and make some shoes... overall we were pretty happy with the turnout of our costumes. We went to a trunk or treat at my sister in law's ward on Friday night, and also hit my work party. Then on Saturday we went trick or treating at the outlets for a little, went to our wards trunk or treat, and then went trick or treating on Harrison Blvd. My family came in from Idaho falls so Carter was able to trick or treat with his cousins Sammy and Natali along with his cousins that live here. He slept through that part, but it was fun for me!

Eight Months Already

On October 22 Carter turned 8 months! He is growing so fast and is such a smart little guy! He ABSOLUTELY LOVES food! When he really likes something that you are feeding him he makes lots of noise humming and even gets upset between bites. It is really funny to watch! He sleeps through the night most nights.. but others keeps us on our toes. He pulls himself up on everything and is getting really fast at crawling. He loves to play in the kitchen with the kitchen aid pieces, and is such a joy to our lives!
