Melt My Heart

Yesterday I was rocking my little guy trying to get him to sleep for a nap, when he looked up at my face, touched my cheek and said "Mama...Pretty Mama". I don't think I will ever forget that moment. I love my baby.

The Subway

Lunch time, not a bad spot!

Can you guess why it's called the subway?

Last weekend we took a trip to St. George with some of our friends. The main focus of our trip was to hike the Subway... a nine mile hike down a beautiful canyon. The trip was a blast, but the hike I have mixed feelings about. It was so fun at times, and so scary at others. We were hiking through FREEZING cold water almost all day, and at times had to get all the way in!!! Thank goodness for wetsuites! Besides the fact that the runoff water was so high the park workers highly recommended we don't go, and besides the fact my dad almost got stuck in a crack there would be no getting out of (thank goodness he lost 50 pounds!), and besides the fact it started raining in a canyon well known for flash floods, and besides the water was so cold my feet were aching! and besides the fact that it was the hardest hike I have ever done! It really was so much fun, and I am glad I was able to experience it. But I will never go again :)

mothers day

I have never appreciated mothers day as much as I should have until I became one. It is such a neat day, not because my husband spoils me (I love that too), but because it made me realize how blessed I am to be able to be a mom. And not just be any mom, but a mom to my little Carter. I can't even describe how lucky I am to have the little family that I do. I love waking up each morning because I love what I get to do, and who I get to do it with. It is the greatest thing I can possibly imagine to be so needed, loved and depended upon by my little boy. I have never been as happy as being a wife and a mom has made me, and I am so very grateful for that blessing in my life. Thanks Reg and Carter for making my mothers day so very special!

newest hobby

I have discovered a fun and exciting new hobby! Zumba, or as Regan calls it, zoobo, zumababo, etc. I can't get enough of it! I look ridiculous doing it, but it is a blast. I spent so many years learning in dance how to hold it all together, and now I'm learning how to let all go and shake it! You have to try it, but I must warn you, it is addicting!

Burr.

I'm looking out my window and it's snowing, but just a couple of days ago we were running around in shorts and flip flops getting a sunburn! If you know me, you know I love the snow, but I was very fond of the warm sunny weather we had last week. We had so much fun playing outside and bustin out all of Cart dawg's new summer clothes! I guess this meens it's time for a trip to St. George:) My little boy is growing like a weed, eats like a cow, but still super skinny! He is starting to make sentences like "Dada I eat Cereal" or " I go Swimming". I am so in love with that little guy. He is my bestest friend in this world, next to his daddy! He moved up to level four in his Gymboree class, and is making all kinds of new friends, he really loves gymbo! It has been so great spending time with my old friends up here, oh how I missed them! We have been doing so much fun stuff like going to the Jazz games (gotta love the playoffs!), dinners, game nights, park with our little boys, and just hangin out. Its so fun to live by friends and family! here are some pics of our sunny days...
we spent almost all of monday, sun up to sun down, at thanksgiving point playing in the gardens. I love the tulip festival! We must have walked ten miles that day!

busy life= lots of pics

Every holiday has suddenly become so fun again. I loved playing the Easter bunny this year, little Carter made that holiday so special. He loved to pick up eggs and put them in the basket during the egg hunt, along with leaves, rocks, really whatever he could find went into the easter basket. It all didn't click this year, but it was sweet to watch :) I enjoyed making an easter basket for him, stuffing eggs, coloring eggs (when I really think about it, it's really strang that we do this!) Its amazing how much joy one little boy can bring.

We have been busy lately. Running around with cousins and friends mostly. Now that the weather is getting nice we are spending ALOT of time outside. Carter would spend his whole life outside if I would let him. He loves to go swimming in the pool. He is just cute and lots of fun!

Michael Buble Concert!!!!

I cannot believe it, but we actually got to go to my all time favorite singer's concert last night! I have always LOVED Michael Buble and have heard that he puts on amazing concerts. I have wanted to go to one for years! It was better than I could have ever expected!!! Reg and I had so much fun, and left just in awe of what an amazing singer and performer he is. I love his music even more now.

Now how we ended up there was totally random and spontaneous, because we were not planning on going. We decided to go out on a date last night to The Roof restaurant (our Favorite), We had such a beautiful dinner. As we were in line to get dessert this annoying lady asked me if I was going to the concert, "what concert?" I said. "uh the Michael Buble concert, Im going aren't you jealous" she said. Snot. She obviously had no Idea how much I envied her at that moment. I went back to the table and told Regan that M.B.'s concert was that night, and we decided to bag the movie we were planning on going to and try to get some tickets from a scalper. So we booked it over to the E center, Ran like two miles, on a full stomach, wearing high heals, in a snowstrom getting soaked,I mean really soaked! not kidding we were that desparate! We got to the steps of the E center ten minutes after the concert started and bought the last set of tickets from the last scalper there. We were sooooo lucky. So we went inside, sat in our seats that were AMAZING, and enjoyed the show! It was one of the funnest nights I have ever had. I was there with my favorite guy, listening to my favorite music :) So if there is anybody who has never been to a Michael Buble concert, You have to go! just make sure you take me with you! I really can't describe how spectacular it was.
