Snow Update




I just had to put new pictures up. It snowed all day on Monday from 7am until about 4pm. The first post didn't show all the snow we got. Later in the day we thought it would be fun to build a snowman for Carter. WE had fun and Carter was freezing- so we bundled him up and he drank his milk while he watched us build our Las Vegas snowman or "no man" as he calls it.
Then yesterday- we had another few inches fall. There were actually 8" in some parts of the valley! Record breaking snowfall. If only it could happen like this every year!

It's Snowing!!!

We actually woke up to snow this morning!!! What started out as a few tiny snow flakes has now been going for almost 3 hours! We had to seize the opportunity to play in the snow. We started out standing Carter on our grass barefoot, with only a hat on for fear that it wouldn't last 5 minutes-and decided we better put on some more clothes so he could enjoy his first experience with snow all bundled up and warm. He loved it! And Jason even got to come out and play for a minute because he's working from home this week.

All bundled up to play.



barefoot in the grass. He didn't notice at first- but soon started asking for socks! Mean Mom!


Decorating the Tree

These pics aren't the best- but this is our tree! Thanks Adam!

Trouble!

Well- I meant to post this about 2 weeks ago. I love Christmas time! And I especially love our beautiful Tree that Adam and Tiff picked out and cut down for us! You guys are the best. It's about 15 feet tall and we can't get enough of it!

A day in the life.


This post is for those of you who actually care about my daily life.(or have nothing better to do at the moment besides actually read this.) I tend to only post on Holidays or trips to Colorado or Utah. During a normal week I just don't think about it and when I do, I actually have blog guilt for not posting more. So, I'm not going to give you every second of my Day-but here are a few of my Love and Hates about daily life at the Sant Home.


Morning Ritual:

Love:


  • Being able to share a bowl of cereal with him.

  • That he can tell us what he wants "Milk, Movie, Cereal"

Hate



  • Having to share anything I eat with him

  • That he's very impatient while waiting for food- although it's getting better.

  • Not being able to watch the News while we eat breakfast. He now demands one of his shows. (wiggles, or "Street" Sesame Street")

Grocery Store:

Love:


  • When Carter picks up a Can of Peas and give it a big huge hug because he loves Peas so much. (He did that today and it was so cute)

  • When he's a good boy and gives me smiles and makes faces at me while we're shopping.

  • That he can actually recognize and say "bananas(nana), Soap (oap), Peas, Corn, Yogurt(go go),and Cereal."


Hate:


  • When he throws the can of Peas that he just gave hugs to. That's a real fun game!

  • Checking out: There's an end cap filled with Cars. He reaches, and stretches, and cries "Car, Car..." over and over, and looks at me with sad eyes as I try to quickly move past them and divert his attention elsewhere- it only gets worse when I'm paying and he's trying to take all the pamphlets out of their spots and throw them all over the floor.

Get a little nervous:



  • In the aisles with banans, juice or Yogurt. Worried he might throw a tantrum when he can't have these favorite things of his. I'm very good at keeping his back to the bananas!

Laundry


Love:



  • When he entertains himself trying to put a peice of clothing on

  • That's pretty much it.

Hate



  • That he wants to get up on the couch where I'm folding all the laundry. He's relentless- he'll repeat himself over and over until I find something better to distract him.

  • That he throws all the clothes off of the couch, so he can have a place to get up and play

  • That he constantly shuts the dryer door as I'm trying to transfer clothes from the washer to dryer.

Well- this is my day- at least today. Most days aren't much different. If you're looking for a little more excitement- so sorry. We love our little life and can't get enough of Carter -most of the time. He can also be whiney and impatient.. but then again, so can I; so I guess I can't blame him.
