Landon was in our thoughts. so we were all there!!

...Grandpa White...

My dad is such a cute Grandpa, He adores his grandkids. He has his little Princess' and His little Cowboys. Pamper the Girls, and rough house the boys. I watch him with these kids and smile everytime he comes up the stairs saying..... "Fee Fii Foe Fumm I Smell...(so and so's) Bum!" cheesy i know. But they love it everytime. Thanks for being such a great grandpa dad.

Carter, My Love!

This picture is after the Aggie Parade. All the Grandkids playing in the leaves.

I wont lie, at least once a day I am SURE this kid is going to be the death of me!

He is such an active, mouthy, question asking, wanting to do everything RIGHT NOW, piece of heaven. There is nothing that he wont try. No one that he wont introduce himself to. Walks into a room and is the life of the party. There is not a place that i might go without him, that someone asks... Where is Carter? Our friends and family ADORE him so much. Yes, I know he can be a little much at times, But there would be such a large void in our lives if he was not apart of it.

I absolutely get a bit teary eyed when my mom calls and says I need some Carter time.   He has so much love to give... and i L.O.V.E him so much for that. If there is anything that I could teach him, It is to Love people to enjoy them. My grandpa Tom was so good at that. If Carter follows after Grandpa... I cant think of anyone better to be like!

Carter we love you.

Climbing the Stairs?????? WHAT!!???

 please pardon my horrible phone video!

We are in so much trouble with this little one! He is just about 8 months and  is learning new things WAY TO FAST! it is truly breaking my heart! I was folding some laundry, and he usually just pulls himself up on the first step and stands there, but today Carter and Kash were upstairs playing, and up he headed. I looked over and he was already 4 steps up. I grabbed him, found my phone, and stood him up on the first step to see if he would do it again... Sure enough!  How do you stop them from growing up too fast??? Urg!

TEETH! FINALLY!

Our little Gav'ers FINALLY broke his bottom two teeth. This teething process has gone on for way to long. It started over a month ago, and has been pure H.E.L.L he wouldn't nap, wouldn't sleep through the night, wouldn't eat his baby food. wouldn't chew on anything but a hot washcloth????? I am so glad to see these puppies through! I wish that I had a picture to post on here of the pretty whites but I cant figure out how to get the flash off my camera, and all you see is one large white blur of a face. So I will post them when I can!

Park/ picture preview

 Sydney is all smiles while playing at the park.

 Today we took the kids to Wellsville Dam to fish, and play on the park. While we were there the fish and game department came to plant fish. It was cool to see them put them in.

I absolutely L.O.V.E our photographer Chavonne Demler. She always has done wonderful work with the pictures of our Family. this is just a preview, from my phone.  My side of the family was all able to make it.  One last group shot before Elder White left on his mission.  I will post more when we get them back. I am so excited to share them with you all.

Tank

 Even TANK was able to be in a few. I do although hate the fact that we honestly tried everything to wake Gavin up.. Nothing worked. I just wish that in all these pictures I cute see his cute smile.

Elder White

 Yesterday my dear brother Landon left on his mission!:( I dont handle these events very well, even though I will see him again, it just seems as though I want him to be HERE to experience what we are doing. But he is where he needs to be, and thats the important part.

My family drove down to Roy to have our Last supper/breakfast before heading down to Provo.

 Dadadadadad and Gavin

 Elder White and Gavin.

these two are really going to miss one another!!

The family pictures after breakfast. I was crying the whole time while standing out here... I H.A.T.E goodbyes! I love this Elder dearly, and will keep him in our prayers always. I wish him the best of luck out there!
L.O.V.E you Lando!

Fun Weekend!

 This weekend we had Jason's cousin Brian come up to stay with us, and hunt. We love when he comes up. It is always so much fun! After they all got back from hunting first thing in the morning, we decided to head up Blacksmith fork to hang out with the Kerr's for the rest of the afternoon.

 ( Carter, Casey, Gavin)

Casey is such a cute kid. my little men adore him!

 My SWEET Gavin. 

This little man lights up any room!

CONGRATS!

Great Dancers!

It has taken me forever to figure out how to upload a video from my cell phone to the blog...

But this is one of my two younger brothers... They made this up! if you listen close, you can hear me laughing the whole time. I just love them.

Lovin' on the Farm animals.

Get a load of this... This heifer was born and during the delivery, got a broken leg.. so they cast it, and everyone that works at the Farm signed it. I love it! lol

This is Carter jumping off the corn while they were harvesting it for the cows.
He absolutely loves going out to Grandma and Grandpa Bailey's Barn!

Baby Sitting Kids!!!

I now watch 3 kids other than my own... AJ, Sydney, and Weston.  My kids have so much fun with these guys. Gavin and Sydney hang out together, AJ, Carter and Weston are good buds. They love playing with Playdo, Cops and robbers, Police and "ambulance guys".

Carter? Carter? Carter?

I promise, I dont think that we are white trash!!! lol. Jason got Carter this little "HOG" (in carters words)
& while riding it at Grandpa's Jason whips out this killer helmet!!! WTH? So now Carter feels it necessary to wear this at all times while on his HOG! please pray for me! :)

I forgot his STATS

I was late taking Gavin in for his 6 month appointment because of an ear infection... and they wont give him shots when there is an infection. So we went yesterday.. The Dr says that he is ahead of schedule on his development. And he is as healthy as a horse, and too cute to be a boy!! gotta love the kid!

oH BaBy! Oh BaBy!

He is almost not a little baby anymore, He is now over 7 months old.... It honestly makes me want to cry.... He is Crawling, saying mamamamam, dadadadad. L.O.V.E.S food. anything that you are eating, he wants a taste. But sitting in his walker He likes to munch on animal crackers, and fruit loops.  He is pulling himself up onto things. but then falls over. Its hard washing dishes with him hanging on my pant leg.
His smile will light up any room! He adores his dad!! If Jason comes home from work, and sets his stuff down in the kitchen before lovin' on Gavin, he will produce the Biggest tears.
He loves being outside. Loves Tank the dog..
I absolutely love when he lays down on a bed, or a blanket, he will say OOOOHHHH. and then lift his head up, then set it down and say it again.... he does this over and over.

Carter is his best friend... And such a wonderful brother.
I will post more pictures later, Gavin is getting his first haircut today!!!

Scooba-Doba

I felt bad that I didnt put a picture of Gavin on the last post. So here is this cute little fella.. and For the title of the post SCOOBA-DOBA that is what Carter calls our little Gavin. and the name in kinda wearing on me to. I have no idea where he came up with the name. But its starting to stick.

Updates.

Darn Camera phone.... It didn't take a good picture, This last Thursday was Carter's first day of Preschool. He was so dang excited. He absolutely loves Julie.

Carter and Jason L.O.V.E to go dove hunting. This weekend they have gone everyday..(dont worry, the gun is not loaded, but he knows how to handle the big thing.)

This is the cutest picture! Carter got upset at Tank over something, and then felt horrible for getting that upset. Jason and I peeked around the corner from the kitchen and this is the picture we saw. Tank really is such a good dog!!

Good 'ol Jaynie. Every time she comes up to Grandma's house she runs straight to the dress up close and slips on this dress. She literally is SNOW WHITE(cause her last name is White) and just so happened my mom was making carmel  apples. She is so stinkin; cute. 

Crawling!

Its official, Gavin is crawling... He is everywhere now. He still needs to polish up on it, but it will come! (Please, dont mind the cereal stuck to his back!)

Labor Day Weekend!

I absolutely L.O.V.E Labor Day/Founders Day in Wellsville. We start the day off by going to the Firemen breakfast. It is always so good. And then head on over to the parade. Jason was in the Calvary (shambattle) again this year... I dont know why he loves being in that dang thing.

after the parade, we headed over to watch the battle.

 

I have such amazing siblings. They help me out so much with Carter and Gavin when Jason is busy. They love these boys like crazy! After that we headed over to my moms for Hamburgers. During lunch we all decided that we should go skeet shooting. I have not done that for a while. It was so much fun. I was shocked at how many I actually hit!

Then the little buckaroo rodeo. Carter rode a sheep again... I had issues with my camera when he first came out, and I didnt get him on the dang sheep. But he did so good. He didnt fall off... but didnt get the big trophy... Maybe next time. Then he caught a chicken. But I was not going to let him keep it!

We has such a fun busy day... cant wait till next year!

"These Boots"

These boots!!! Im sure if they could talk, they would have many stories to tell. My little cowboy Carter has sure had fun with them. "TOUGH LOVE" I guess you could call it. We have bought him some cute John Deer ones, that he wont touch.. So Dad finally took him to Cal's today, and got some exactly like this style, but a different color. Carter just went and threw these in the garbage, and it about broke my heart. Here's to THESE BOOTS!
