Baby it's Cold Outside!

We took Carter for a walk in GJ. I thought his nose might freeze off. It was so cold, but we bundled him up, and he was a trooper the whole time. He kind of had that worried look on his face, but he didn't make a peep.

Christmas in Colorado

It was so fun having Carter this year for Christmas. Even though he doesn't have a clue yet, it just made it so much more fun for us. And thanks to Britt and Chris and the boys- he had darling Christmas PJ's and slippers.




I was so excited to give Jase his U of U quilt that I made for him. It was fun having a project to work on while he was gone. I might be more excited about this than he was- but I think he liked it.

And, you can't forget the Christmas toss up (or throwup as we call it). It's been tradition ever since I can remember- to throw all the paper in the air and take a picture after all the gifts are unwrapped. Silly, but one of our funnest traditions.

Well, what can I say?! It was so great to be home. It was fun to be where I grew up and do the usual Christmas traditions. Of course my mom had the place all decked out in Christmas garb, and we spent lots of time in the kitchen. That's definitely one of the best parts about Christmas- the food. Here Somneang is helping my Mom with dinner.

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

Just thought I'd put up a few pics. We're getting ready to head up to Colorado and Utah for the holidays. I'm going to miss my Christmas decorations, but nothing beats going home for Christmas. Can't wait to hang out with the fam!

Well, this is the only snow I've seen this year in Vegas. It's been way too warm, but I love looking at my Christmas village that my dad made for us. We always look forward to getting a few new buildings every year. Thanks Dad

And here's our Christmas Tree. Thanks to Adam and Tiffany, we have a beautiful fresh tree that they cut down for us in Parowan. We love it, and get lots of compliments- not too many people have real trees now, but we love the smell!

Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'

So, we've been working a lot on rolling over lately. This is Carter getting mad at me for putting him on his stomach. But, all the hard work has paid off! He finally rolled over 2 days ago, so now we're just practicing so he gets better. He doesn't get quite as mad to be on his stomach anymore.

Poor Baby

Today Carter got my cold that I've had for the past few days. It is so sad because he wakes up coughing, and it sounds awful, but he doesn't complain, except I know he's extra tired because he's not sleeping as well. Today I put him down for a nap at noon. Normally he sleeps until 3, but I heard him stirring at about 1:20 so I went to check on him. He was just laying there with his eyes wide open looking around. I thought he'd go back to sleep so I left to finish getting ready. When I went back in to check on him, he was still just laying in his crib checking things out. It was too cute. I decided to get him up, and when he saw me he gave me the biggest grin.
So- we took a bath and went to the store to get some medicine. Hopefully he'll get better soon. I hate it when they're sick!

Early Christmas!

Welcome to the world of toys! Last night I had the joy of putting together one of Carter's toys for the first time. 41 parts, 46 screws and 3 hours later I finally got it. And I think I was way more excited than him. It was like Christmas once I actually got it put together. I think Jason was lucky he was out of town for this one. But, once Carter got in it and started sucking on the toys, I knew it was all worth it!

Thanksgiving

We had so much fun having thanksgiving in Farmington with all of Jason's family. We have such a great family, and always have so much fun when we get together. Here's a few pictures of the fun!
