Spitting

The other day Carter kept sticking out his bottom lip and spitting.  He thinks it is so funny.  He ends up soaking wet from all the spit,  Yuck!  And look at that face!

Little Cowboy!

Morgan had been to a square dance the night before so this hat was out.  Since Carter was wearing overalls I thought it would be the perfect picture!  I think he is a hat kid!!

Valentine's Day

The cute boys I love!!!!

My little stud muffin!!!

We had a great Valentines Day.  We went to eat at Olive Garden with Carter and he was so good.  Then Grandma and Grandpa baby sat while we went to Fool's Gold.  Carter got this cute little book with a sing a long CD.  He loves music!  

I've Been Tagged!

A: The rules of the game are posted at the beginning. B: Each player answers the questions about themselves. C: At the end of the post, the player then tags 3 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

10 Years Ago Today.... I was 16, young and carefree.  Dating like crazy and probably driving like crazy too with a new drivers license.  In school at Bonneville High and working at Gold's Gym.  

5 things on my to-do list today.... Clean, Workout, Do my hair, post more on my blog, find pants that fit(it's never going to happen)

I Enjoy...... being creative, scrapbooking, camping, swimming, going on vacation, outlets in Park City, Diet Coke, Oreos and milk, staying home and eating pizza and watching a movie, visiting with friends that are not close, cooking, playing card games and board games, making Carter laugh, going on walks with Carter and Cooper, reading, Aggie and Jazz games, watching Lost, shopping, going to Bear Lake, being a hair stylist, being a mom, and being a wife.

What would I do if I was suddenly a billionaire? Get a personal trainer to help me lose the rest of my baby weight, travel, save, buy a house, get a maid, invest, give to others, pay 10%, and just shop.

3 of my bad habits: I have so many, where to start.....Being bossy, holding grudges, and holding things in until I explode.

5 places I have lived:

Logan, UT

Salt Lake City, UT

Riverdale, UT

Las Vegas, NV

Mesquite, NV

Jobs I have had:

I have had so many I don't know where to start.

Newspaper Carrier-My very first job. My friend and I delivered papers on our bikes everyday after school and early in the mornings on Sat. and Sun. Definately not the best job. It didn't last very long.

Gold's Gym Daycare-This was one of the easiest jobs I had. It was fun watching the kids and I got a free membership to the gym.

Frosted Rock-My yummiest job!! My neighbors opened this ice cream shop in the mall. I worked there at night after school and loved my co-workers, who were my sister, and some friends from my neighborhood. I loved trying a new flavor of ice cream everyday and meeting the cute boys that were at the mall.

Swiss Reniassance-My first real job. After I got my cosmetologist license I got a job at this salon. I worked as an assistant to the owner, a part-time receptionist, and as a stylist.

Peerless Beauty Supply-My favorite job.  Working with people I enjoy and doing what I enjoy.  And having the best boss ever!!!  Let me know when I can come back.

5 things people dont know about me:

1.  I am scared of the drive through car washes.  It's okay if someone else drives, but I cannot drive through one.  Bad experience once. 

2. I don't know how to dive even though my parents have a pool and I took swimming lessons forever when I was a kid.  I just can't do it.

3. I am not competitive and therefore hate playing games with Bevin.

4. I do not like to work outside in the yard.  Growing up I always made up excuses to get out of it.  I am so jealous of all of you who have beautiful yards and love to garden.

5. I took dance classes from when I was 5 until I was in junior high.  I quit because of an awful teacher and wish that I hadn't.  I love to dance.

I tag Sallie, Jen, and Jill!!!

Utah State Aggies

Bevin's sister came for the weekend from Boise and we thought it would be fun to take her to an Aggie game.  We used to love going to the games in college and are excited to be able to go again.  It was an awesome game with high energy as always.  Go Aggies!!!!

The Snow Bunny!!!!

We saw a huge snowman in someone's yard and Kami thought we needed to make one bigger.  So it started with a few people and then turned in to the whole neighborhood, helping to build our huge snowman.  The missionaries even stopped to admire our work.

But somehow as the snowman grew, it didn't look like a snowman.  So someone suggested that it looked like a bunny.  So instead of a snowman, we created a snowbunny!!

Kami, Amy, Morgan, Maggie, Jack, Jimmy, Sara, and Bevin in front of the masterpiece.

We had so much fun building our snowbunny.  We got many honks and stares from those going by.  Thanks to all those who contributed.   

Moving to Logan!!

Another snowy day

The Cox House(our temporary home)

Though I was excited to move back to Logan and be closer to our families and friends here, January is not a good time to move here.  I am missing the nice calm weather we were enjoying in Mesquite.  I think it has snowed almost everyday!!!  I forgot how much fun the snow could be.  But it is beautiful here in Logan and we are enjoying it.

Leaving Mesquite :(

Leaving Mesquite was bitter sweet.  I loved it there and am sad to leave it and all the good friends we made there in such a short amount of time.  

Growing Boy!!

Carter's First 2 Teeth!

Look Mom, One Hand!

Look Mom, No Hands!

Poor Cooper!  Carter loves him to death, always pulling on his tags and whatever else he can grab.  He loves to take Cooper's rope away from him.  But Cooper is such a good dog and just takes it.  

I can't believe how fast Carter is learning and growing.  Just last week he started pulling himself up on everything and wants to start walking.  He also said his first word, "Da Da," he loves his dad!  Carter is always clapping, jabbering, screaming(which his dad taught him and thinks is funny until we are in church and tells me to make him quiet), climbing, and playing with his dog Cooper.  

Santa Baby

Some cute pics I took of Carter with his Santa hat on.  He made the cutest faces.

Messy Eater

Carter is really a good eater, but when he has had enough he starts to spit when the spoon gets to his mouth.  This time I didn't pull the spoon away fast enough and he spit it everywhere.

Carter's Christmas Pictures

Pictures taken at JCPenny of Carter 6 months old.

He had just cut a tooth and had a bad fever the day before so he wasn't in the best mood, but I thought these turned out okay.

One Happy Boy

Carter is always such a happy boy.  Even when he wakes up!!  He just sits in his crib and laughs and plays until I come to get him.

What a cute face!!!!

When I walk into his room to get him he gets so excited and starts smiling and screaming as he tries to pull himself up to me.  How could you not love that!!!!!

Bed Head

No I did not style Carter's hair like this.  When he woke up from his nap, somehow this had happened.  I could not stop laughing at his "Flock of Seagulls" hairdo.  

Everyone is Blogging!!!

At first I thought it was silly.  But with more and more of my friends creating a blog, I realized that I should also.  I hope it will help us keep in touch with all of our friends and family that are far away.  I posted a bunch of pics from our trip to Utah.  Happy Blogging!!!
