More Catching Up.....Hoagle Zoo!

We went to Hoagle Zoo with my parents back in July over the weekend of the 4th. It was Carter's first trip to the zoo and he loved it. His favs were the monkeys, elephants, and giraffes.

Brrrrr Lake

All ready to hit the beach.

(Sorry this is from June. I am so behind!) I love going to Bear Lake. It has become a tradition in our family. My Nana and Pa began going long ago with the Vance family and we try to make it back to Bear Lake each year. This year we went in the end of June and it was a bit chilly. The water never really gets that warm, but this was too cold for me to even get in. We had a great time playing on the beach, boating, swimming in the pool, and of course eating lots! Bev was not able to make it due to work and we missed him and hope he will make it next year. Can't wait!

Little Captain! Thanks to Uncle BUB for the boat rides!

I've Lost My Husband!

I have lost my husband to football!:( It's all started. He has got his fantasy football team. He has informed me of the 3 games that will be on Saturday. Then there is Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, and usually a Thursday night game. He can't just like one team so he has to watch them all. College and NFL. I don't mind watching a game now and then but he has OFD. (Obsessive Football Disorder) I suggested that he tivo some of the games and he was appalled! That is not allowed! So for the next few months my husband will be gone!

BIG BROTHER!!!!

A new post!

Ok, so it has been forever since I have updated! My family has been bugging me to post something new. So I figured since we will soon be moving to Pinedale that I should start updating again. We will be moving to Pinedale, WY in about 3 weeks(Aug. 8). Bevin has been working in Big Piney, WY for a year now and we decided it was time for us to all be together again and make the move up there. We are excited for our new adventure and the new experiences we will have. Stay tune for all of our exciting happenings from Pinedale!!!

Sleep!

Saturday morning Bevin was up early and ready to go get stuff done. I wanted to sleep in. So did Carter. It was about 8:30am and Carter was still asleep. Bevin went in and woke him up. This was how his conversation with Carter went:

Bevin: "Wake up! We are going to go to the store!"

Carter: "No Way!"

Bevin: "What do you want to do?"

Carter: "SLEEP!!!!"

What a funny kid! What a sleepy kid. He loves his sleep (most of the time) and is really good about naps and bedtime! Sorry to brag! He is a great kid.

Yum Yum!

I made these a while ago for a friends baby shower. They are so yummy and cute as well. I wanted to make them cupcake pops, but since it was my first attempt, I just made cupcake balls. To find out how to make them and see lots of cute cupcake pops go to bakerella.blogspot.com.

Be A Builder

Builders
I saw them tearing a building down,
A gang of men in a busy town.
With a yo heave ho and a lusty yell,
They swung a beam and the sidewall fell.
I asked the foreman if these men were as skilled
As those he would hire if he were to build.
He laughed and said, "Oh, no indeed,
Common labor is all I need.
For they can wreck in a day or two,
What builders have taken years to do."
So I asked myself, as I went my way,
Which of these roles am I to play?
Am I the builder, who works with care,
Measuring life by the rule and square;
Or am I the wrecker who walks the town,
Content in the role of tearing down?

Little Helper Part 2

Previously I wrote about how Carter put all of the silverware away in the drawer and likes to help clean up. I finally got some pictures of him helping with the laundry and dishes. He did this all on his own!

He put every piece of clothing from one basket into the other....

Then put a load of clothes into the washer....

Then took the dishes out of the dishwasher and lined them all up....

Put all the silverware in the drawer....

Was soooo pleased with himself......

What a great little helper!

Washington DC

Much Needed

Sunday my hubby and I went to Layton and stayed at the Hilton so that Bevin could attend a convention for work the next day. It was so wonderful! Gma and Gpa Myers kept Carter so we were able to have a little "us" time. I slept in while Bev went to talk business, and after we went to eat at Famous Dave's. Yum! It was definately some much needed R&R! Thanks Bev and Mom and Dad!

Little Helper

So on Saturday morning we wanted to sleep in and Carter did not. So we were just laying in bed with Carter jumping all over us. Then he ran out and a minute later we hear what sounds like silverware banging together. He used to play with it a lot and take it and hide it places. So Bevin went to the kitchen and saw Carter putting silverware in to the drawer. Then he sees the dishwasher open and no silverware in it. He asks if I put it away, I ask if he put it away, we both say NO! Carter watched me put the silverware away and thought he wanted to do it too. It was not in the right spot but it was in the right drawer. He was so proud of himself. What a good little helper.

Sara Needs....

I saw this on facebook and since I don't have anything else to post I thought this would be fun!

This one's REALLY easy! Type your first name followed by the word "needs" into Google then post the 10 things that you need from the links that show up....

1. Sara needs a loving, playful home. Check, Carter is always playful and gives me plenty of loving with his hugs and kisses!

2. Sara needs your opinion on parents sleeping in your bed. Um weird if you are all in the bed at the same time. Actually my mom, sis, and I all jump in to watch movies, so much fun!

3. Sara needs your help in the "perfect" shot. I am always looking for tips for picture taking. I take way too many pics trying to get the "perfect" shot!

4. Sara needs something more then the well-established love of her companion. Not true. At the moment this is all I want and need. I miss my hubby!

5. Sara needs YOU! When my hubby is gone I do need all of my friends and family. Thanks, love you all!

6. Sara needs replies. This would be great. I love having comments to read!

7. Sara needs time. Time for what? I would love more time with my hubby on the weekends. It always goes by way too fast!

8. Sara needs to drop a few lbs. So true! If this is not a sign then I don't know what is. Sad:( Even the computer is telling me I need to. Great.

9. Sara needs paint. This would have applied yesterday. I just bought some and finished a table we got at the DI. It turned out great. I also painted my mailbox and some frames.

10. Sara need to get her life back and establish herself as the person in charge. This pretty much sums it all up.

I tag Emily, Jill, Katie, Lindsey N, Heather, Jen, Amanda, Leah, Sarah, and Lyndsey W.
Tag 10 people and leave them a comment. Have Fun!
