SURGERY!

BEFORE

AFTER

( He wanted both of us to hold him, so Jason, and I switched off.)

Carter went and got his tonsils out this last monday the 28th. He was such a trooper.

The surgery only lasted about 30 minutes. Then they brought him back to his room, not to excited. but handling it well. He would start to cough really bad, and have a hard time breathing when he would. That gave us a little scare. But the doctor reassured us that it was just irritation from the breathing tubes. 

He is now starting to get back to being himself again. 

We thank all of you that helped us out, with dinners, toys, and support. We love you!

Our Christmas Holiday started out with us meeting at my parents. We played out in the field. Ate a wonderful lunch. And broke a pinata. and of coarse carter had to take his first swing and nailed Kiya right in the face. Carter and I felt horrible. sorry!!!

We opened presents with the family cause Ben and Amanda headed home that night for Santa to stop by their house. Carter got a fishing and bowling set. Jason got a drill accessory set. and i got a waffle iron. wonderful gifts!!  Amanda helped the Kids make these cute holiday crayons by melting old crayons in a cute cookie sheet. Very very cute. Thank you Everyone for all the great memories, and fun times! We love you!!!

Carter and the Dogs

Carter is obsessed with taking pictures of the dogs. He begged me last night to take this picture of him and the Dogs!!!

Ice Fishing With Dad!!

Last Sunday Carter went Ice fishing with Jason for the first time on Hyrum Dam. I was so nervous to let him go. I HATE water. I didnt think that it was thick enough. But i let him go and he had a ball!!! They were out on the Dam for about 5 hours fishing. They only caught two. Carter cought the bigger one. and Jasons Is the smaller one on the pole. They Finally had to come home when Carter stuck his leg in the hole and was wet up to his hip! Little Scary!

GINGER BREAD MEN!!

 

Wednesday Night my mom and I got together and made Rum balls (my Holiday Favorite!!!)
                - NOTE: It is possible to have too many!
We also mixed together some Gingerbread men dough. Yesterday carter and I decorated our family men! (The small one is the baby.) Carter said I had to eat that one too so that the baby can eat it!
Once again it is so nice to be able to stay home with him and make these memories!

 

After the Lights we went swimming at little America. My cousin Mitch and My younger brothers swam with Carter. But If they werent around he would still jump in the water and pull himself out... over and over and over again.

I thank My Grandma Marilyn and my parents for such a fun weekend and keeping the traditions alive and going for all of their grandkids.

We love you!!!

After the movie we headed over to temple square. and walked through all the lights. My younger brother Clayton was such a great help with Carter. I cant carry him anymore. and Jason was all carried out. He is such a great Guy (and single!!!) Thanks Clayton.

We got down to Salt Lake a little early. and headed over to Gateway mall. Jason had never been there. We only stopped by a couple of stores. Heaven forbid Carter sleep on the way down there. And he was ready for a nap! We went back to the Car and before we got out on the road he was out.
We just went and parked and let him sleep cause we were meeting my family at the IMAX theater for a movie.

 

Busy weekend

It started out with us stopping by the Wellsville fire station to see Santa!

Carter is so funny he is scared of Santa. But I made him sit on his lap this year!

Before we got there he was saying that he just wanted to look at him, and that he would sit on his lap next year. But I mentioned that Santa wont bring him any toys cause he doesnt know what he wants.

He told Santa that He wants decoys and walkie talkies.

Our very own Elton John!!!

We went over to Cort and Robins house last night and watched the biggest loser.

Thanks guys it was so much fun!!

Carter put on Cambree's sunglasses. and i swear he looked just like Elton John. It was so funny!!!

Carter is so funny. He use to carry a little blue bear around EVERYWHERE! and The day that we brought Tank home, the bear was GONE! Tank is his new bear. Last night I was finishing up with the dishes, and thought to myself "its a little too quiet" Turning around i had to laugh out loud, and grab a camera. When carter gets tired, he will go lay by tank on the floor, and rub his fat face. usually i move them to the couch cause i hate carter laying on the floor, and in the dogs bed. But it all happened to fast last night.

Jason is such a great dad! Before Carter could find the stash of Gifts, I asked Jason to get him out of the house today so i could wrap! He took him sleigh riding at the gravel pits. Carter had so much fun. Jason said he wouldn't be able to wipe the rosy smile off carters face if he tried.

Thanks Jason for all the fun memories that you make with our little man!

SNOW!!

It has been a while since my last post. But i couldnt pass up not having a comment on Thanksgiving!!!
This year We went with the Garrett/Bailey Side. and Had a wonderful dinner over at Reeds. For some reason, I thought I would go all out and bring  a Turkey, Jello salad and Homemade rolls this year for the dinner. What was i thinking!!! But it all got done, nothing was burnt, and there was a smile on everyones face at the table. So it was worth it!
When We have Thanksgiving at my moms we usually go around the table, and share what we are greatful for this past year... and I didnt get a chance to do it, so i will now!

*Im greatful for my Husband. He has always been so great with Carter, and My TENAYA MOMENTS. I have not been the easiest person to be around during this pregnancy. BUt he has hung in there. I need to thank him for working so hard, and letting me be a stay at home mom. and helping me make our House a Home. I am  so thankful for him!

*I am greatful for my Cowboy Carter!!! He is such a little man. He loves to help mommy clean, take care of the dogs. And Go hunting with dad.  I dont know a person that doesnt love carter and his HUGE personality. He puts a smile on EVERYONES face. I dont know where I would be without him. I love you Carter.

* I am greatful for another baby boy on the way. And having a healthy pregnancy so far.
We are all so excited for this new member in our family.
