Pumpkin Patch

  We love Halloween time! We have been crazy busy with our remodel but we needed to take Carter out to do something fun. Nothing better this time of year then going to the pumpkin patch! 
   Carter was so amused by all the people and pumpkins. He would not hold still. He was running around touching all the pumpkins and giving them hugs. He did not like when we would pick him up for a picture, hence in all the pictures he wouldn't smile :( he's still cute. He picked the perfect pumpkin that we are going to let him paint this week.

   

HOMEOWNERS

   We are officially homeowners!! I have been looking and looking for the perfect house for a long time. After finally getting a realtor (if you need a great one, let me know) we had found the perfect house in about a month. We closed on the house the end of September. We have since moved in with some relatives though because we are doing some work on the house. We had some walls to knock out along with many other things! haha We have been SUPER busy but it is going by fast and we should be in soon. I can't wait! Stay tuned for lots of before and afters! 

Welcome Home

  She's home!! I can't believe it has been 18 months since my sister, Kaylee, left on a mission. Georgia was a lucky to have her. She has looked forward to serving a mission for as long as I can remember. She did amazing work while serving the Lord, but we are very happy to have her home! It was extra special because I had Carter while she was gone. She had only seen him via Skype and pictures. I was very excited for them to meet! 
   Kaylee had sent us all shirts for us to wear at the airport that she had bought in Georgia. As you can see everyone is happy she's back!

Beach Day

 Carter loves the water! So yesterday, with my family, we took Carter to the beach... in Herriman! It was really hot yesterday so it was the perfect way to cool down. It was really busy with all the kids that haven't started school yet. 
  The water was a good temperature, Carter didn't want to leave the water. Next time I will remember his floaties so he can go further out:)

Demolition Derby

  We had so much fun this weekend! It was a holiday so Richard got Friday off, woo! We love long weekends with him!We spent Saturday in Heber watching Richard's good friend, Robby, drive in the demolition derby. 
   It was so loud but once we put the earmuffs on Carter he fell asleep for over an hour. I do not know how he always sleeps in these loud places! He loved playing in his car. He was screaming with excitement jumping in the seat:)

First Birthday

    I can not believe that my sweet baby boy is one (tomorrow)!!! Where did the time go?! He has grown so much and continues to surprise me with all of the things he's learning. Words can not express how grateful we are for him and how much we love him! 
   On Saturday we threw him a birthday party with some family and some close friends. It was so great to have everyone over to help us celebrate Carter. We did baseball theme, we also had a slip n slide for some 'sliding practice' and a pool for the babies to cool off in. We are so grateful for our family and the love they show Carter.
