Half Moon Lake

When Kami (Bevin's sister) came to visit us in Pinedale we went on this hike at Half Moon Lake. It was an awesome hike that follows around the lake with great views.

Kami, Carter, and Me (5 mon. prego)

Carter loved the hike and had to climb and jump off every rock he saw. Bevin said "I can't believe a 2 year old walked as far as you guys." Carter was great.

Pinedale

This weekend Kami (Bevin's sister) came to Pinedale to visit us. We went to the park, on a hike, and of course watched lots of football. It was a fun weekend and I have lots more pics but blogger is not letting me upload. So here are a few from the park with more to come:)

This is a cool Memorial at the park.
Carter loves throwing rocks in the water.

This is one of the parks in Pinedale

It was such a beautiful day and and we had a great walk through the park. There was a wedding reception going on complete with DJ so we got to jam a bit also!

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.

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!

Carter zonked out after a fun ride on the boat.

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!

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!
