Happiest Halloween

Halloween was such a blast this year. We really enjoyed all of the beautiful leaves and cool weather. We had some hilarious and fun halloween parties with family and friends (which I completely neglected to take pics of), but the highlight of the holiday was taking Carter trick or treating. Despite the cold rain and wind outside We got all bundled up and hit the town. He was so dang cute in his Dinosaur costume, and loved to growl like one! We laughed at almost every door as he would yell "Trick or Treat" and when the door opened he would get so shy. Every candy he grabbed he would say "how bout this one?". Reg and I LOVED taking him, It was a really fun night! Now we have a huge bowl of sweets we'll have to find something to do with :)

Lion King

My sweet grandma took me to go see the Lion King yesturday. It was one of the most amazing shows I've seen. The costumes, dancing and singing were just awesome! What an amazing birthday present, She has always tended to spoil me:) We had fun spending the day together, she makes me laugh with her cute and spunky personality! The show was incredible, and I am so glad I was able to go see it while it was in town. It definatley competes with Wicked and Phantom for the top spot of favorite Broadway shows in my book. If you ever get the chance to see it, DO!

hello fall

I have been a complete slacker at keeping up with my blog this last month. We have finished our summer off with alot of fun outings and trips. I am so excited for fall to be here. Summer was a blast, and we had an insane amount of fun, but I am so ready for the crisp cool air, colorful trees, birthdays, and holidays! Is it just me or did summer go by so fast? I feel like my little boy went from 14 months to 20 months in a few days!!! He sure is getting big quickly. He talks so amazingly well, and is starting to say the funniest things. His new thing is to apologize after he does something wrong before I even get a chance to get after him. "No mama....sorry mama" is what I hear about thirty times a day. He is such a fun little buddy to have around, I think I'll keep him :) Well, here is a jumble of pics of what our August consisted of. Hopefully I can keep up with this blog a little better now that life is slowing down a bit. So here it comes...picture overload!

I was terrible at takeing pics at L.P., but it was a blast! I am still recovering from wrecking on the tube and water skiing! Carter is so fun at the Lake, He LOVES to go for Jetski rides and chase ducks, build rivers and go for hikes with his Dad.


And There you have it! yeah, I'm all caught up for the most part :)

keeping busy

Getting away to Park City to escape the heat and ride the alpine slide. You can imagine how much Carter LOVES the slide! Then eating dinners on Main street, So charming!Girls trip to Vegas for the NORDI SALE! aahhhh heaven, third best day of the year!

Giving Snowbird a visit :)Spending almost everyday with these three little faces keeping us busy, laughing, wet and tired!

Reg took Carter to a Bee's baseball game. They had so much fun, Carter won't stop talking about it. My sweetheart spending the night with me on the curb in the middle of SLC so we could get a front row seat to the 24th of July parade. We are still recovering from getting no sleep. It is a fun memory that we will never repeat.Swimming, Swimming, Swimming and more Swimming!

being wierd.
I am definatley a different kind of mom during these summer months. I haven't been able to get my little boy to bed on time once this summer, because we just can't stop playing. His diet is full of popsicles, movie popcorn, and sunny D. He is constantly getting sticky or dirty, and yes I admit I let him drink directly from the hose in the backyard. I don't feel too bad, actually not bad at all, because we are having a wonderful time this summer! (sorry for the picture overload, but I couldn't limit them, I love them all!)

Lagoon

We had the best summer day! We took all the little ones to Lagoon, and had a blast. I can't describe how much fun it was to watch Carter go on the rides. His thrill and excitement was unbarebly cute. The moment Bulgy the whale started to go his face and eyes lit up and he had so much FUN! He had me laughing so hard all day, The absolute best was watching him do the bumper cars. He thought he was driving and was so thrilled, but really he was just going around in circles because he wasn't quite strong enough to turn the wheel hard enough so it would where he wanted it to. He didn't know the differnce and was so very proud to be going in tiny quick circles. My sister then showed him with her arms what to do saying "turn hard Carter", so Carter lets go of the stearing wheal and does her crazy arm action of turning the wheel in mid air. I know you had to be there, but it was hilarious. I love my little boy, and love sharing wonderful days like this with him. He is such a ray of sunshine, and makes everything so fun. The entire way home he would not stop talking about all of the things he saw and did. Then he crashed. I think he'll sleep well tonight.
