Happy Birthday Carter!!!

I can hardly believe my little boy is already 1!!! It goes so fast. He had a pretty good birthday- minus a little constapation and teething problems! Being One is a rough gig I guess. On the plus side- it was a great excuse for us to have some friends over for a barbeque.

He loved the balloons!... until he got all tangled up in them
And he especially loved the cake!... until we took it away! He was in chocolate heaven!
And here's my little man on Sunday- picking our flowers.
He was pretty serious opening presents- this is the most smiley picture I got.
And this is the birthday cake before it got demolished! I must say, I've got a little work to do before I can perfect a birthday cake like my mom. Making it brought back memories of my mom always making our favorite cake, and going all out for our Birthdays.

I love you Carter! I'm so excited to see what the next year has to bring!

I have time!!!

Wow- it's been a long time since I've updated our blog! I finally have time. Carter has been sleeping for almost 31/2 hours! Unheard of! I think he's a bit worn out from church yesterday!

I haven't posted pics yet of our camping trip, so here's a few! We had a blast! for the 4th weekend we headed up to Navajo Lake (near Cedar City) to take our first camping trip! Never mind that all of our friends dogged us!! We had a blast. I mean, if you call no sleep, no showers, and another scrape on Carter's nose a good time! It was sooo... beautiful! Jason had a great time fishing, Carter loved being outside and I actually got to do some reading. It's amazing how being away from it all- just makes you forget all the stress of everyday life. It was a much needed break - and we got to follow it up with a trip to Utah to see the fam. Unfortunately- I didn't take a single picture while I was up there! I guess we were just having too much fun.
