Ho Ho Ho!!!!

Carter started saying this recently. It is pretty funny, I love his voice! I don't know where he got it from. Probably some movie he has watched.

Carter's Christmas Pictures

He kept laughing and not looking at the camera......

I have not done a post recently and even I was getting sick at looking at those decorations! So thought I would put on Carter's Christmas pics. I was a slacker this year and did not take him anywhere. I wanted to take him outside and do pics but with the negative degree weather I decided he would not like that. So we had to settle on me taking a few pics in our house. Not the best pics ever, but at least he got some taken so I could send out a card.

Deck the Halls!!!!

I was so excited to put up the Christmas stuff this year, especially the tree! When we were first married we had an old tree of my moms. When we moved to Las Vegas we got rid of it and have not had one since. Last year after Christmas I convinced Bevin we needed to buy one. So this year I was so excited to get the tree up and put all the new decorations on it! After it was up only 2 days, more than half the lights went out!!!! So I was mad for a few days and then decided to just decorate it anyway and hopefully Bevin can work on it and figure something out.

Notice the lights are just on at the very bottom!!!!!!:(

I still have the cheap generic stockings cause I have not found ones that I like well enough to spend some $$$ on.

I had to post pics of the Christmas decor cause no one ever comes to my house and will ever see it. Merry Christmas!!!!!

HELP!!!!

Okay, so I know I still have a few months to decide, but I am having the hardest time choosing a name for our little baby girl! Bevin likes very few names and the ones he likes I am not so sure about now. I want something normal yet not to common. Which is hard. I want the name to be girly too. Ahhhhhh. If you have any suggestions please leave me a comment and also vote on the 3 names in the poll. Those are the only ones that Bev and I kinda agree on. Thanks!

Some R&R

On Monday Carter and I headed to Bear Lake to enjoy some rest and relaxation at the cabin! My parents, sister, and Nana and Pa were also there. It was great to spend some time with my family! We did a puzzle. Nana always has a new and fun, yet frustrating, puzzle to do. The weather was great so we took Carter to the park and the guys did lots of golfing. We had a good time and Carter was sad to leave. Can't wait for our next Bear Lake trip:)

Trick or Treat

We had a fun couple days leading up to Halloween! I made Halloween sugar cookies for the kids to decorate. So yummy! We went to a ward carnival that great. There was lots of food, bouncy slide, fish pond, cake walk, ring toss, balloon darts, etc.....with lots of candy! And then the Trunk or Treat at the church. Carter was not quite sure what to do but still got lots of candy.

Cute Halloween shirts!

Carter loved lots of sprinkles:)

Halloween Party!

We had a great Halloween Party at Nana and Pa's last weekend.

There was yummy Halloween food, treats, games, prizes, costumes, and pumpkin decorating.

Thanks to everyone who helped make the party so much fun!

New Baby Nephew!

William Jason Cox, my new little nephew, was born on October 12! I got to see him this last weekend and I was so excited. He really is a cute baby! Carter did not seem to agree. We tried to get pics of Carter and Will together but Carter did not want to get close to him. This one was the best we could get. And look at his pained face! Typical:)

Will all cozy in his outfit I got him!

I got to hold him lots and Carter didn't seem to mind. He just didn't want to come near him.

Love Baby Will and I am so happy for RJ and Katie!

Crazy Carter

Carter has been having lots of fun visiting family here in Logan.

He loves to jump on the trampoline at Gpa and Gma Cox's!

But I guess he got tired and he just sat down and started sucking his fingers, waiting for me to get him off:)

He found a bucket in the laundry room and put it on his head and walked around running into people saying, "Bucket Head!"
Mr. Bucket Head:)

Taking off his Bucket head to scare me!

Having fun on the trampoline

He is a stinker when it comes to taking pictures. I try to bribe him with candy but that barely works. This was his face when I asked him to smile nicely for the camera.

(He looks like he is in pain!)

My friend gave Carter these awesome jammies that glow in the dark and I wanted to get his pic. He calls them his monster jammies so we told him to growl and make a scary face. This is it. It looks like the other face, in pain:)

Then he decided to attack Morgan. She was on the floor and Carter started jumping on her and trying to wrestle with her. He loves to wrestle and thought it was so funny to jump on her.

He loves his cousin Morgan!

Fishing

It has been cold, rainy, and snowy. But that did not stop Bevin from going fishing last weekend. He was only gone a few hours and did not catch anything cause his line kept freezing. Duh! But he must really enjoy it to go out in this:)

It was snowing when he went out.

All geared up

Carter not wanting his picture taken

Magnet Board

So this project was not near as hard as my last one. But I finally got it done. My mom got Carter this Magnet Board and I just spray painted it and put on a few vinyl stickers. Pretty simple. Now he will have a place to put pics of his favorite people:)

Halloween Craft

This was my craft project today. I thought it turned out pretty good so I had to post it:) My friend had bought one that was for the 4th of July and it was super cute. So we decided we could make our own. And taaadaaa! We are thinking we should make one for every holiday.

Yay! I really needed some more Halloween decor. My shelf was so bare. More crafts to come!

Life in Wyoming!

This is what I saw this morning when I looked outside. AHHHH! It is barely October. I am not ready for winter. What happened to fall? Crazy. So I turned on the fireplace, made some hot chocolate, and curled up on the couch under a blanket. I told Bevin that I want a Snuggli:)

These are just out the back of my house.
But before the snow we enjoyed a fun summer. This was just 2 days ago. As I was driving back from Sallie's house about 20 antelope dashed in front of my car and pounced off toward the golf course. Carter was yelling, "Bambi"!

This is a big weird bug that Kami found on our hike. What is it?

Bevin loves to go fishing and there is plenty of that here. This is a fish that one of his friends caught in the New Fork just right behind Sallie's place.
I don't have any of Bevin fishing:(

And this was a few months back when we went to the rodeo. There was a huge 3 day event with booths, a parade and the highlight, a rodeo.

So this had been our life in Wyoming so far. Not that bad. But I have a feeling it is going to be a long winter. So I will have to get a bit creative:)
