Remember when you swore your kids would never look like this?

How did we go from This...

sweet, clean, smiling baby

To This?...

snot running from nose to lips, drool from lips to chin, and spit up all

over his shirt (I tried to capture the moment as he was screaming at me,

but every time I pull out the camera he smiles.)

To This?

Guess whose feeding him? I'll give you one hint... it's not me.

I don't even feel bad!

This is for Adam and Hailey and all you other Utah'ns. I knew someone would comment about my pics- but I just have to say, It's the only time of year I get to brag- so just let me! The rest of the year when you are enjoying pretty green grass, and trees, and big back yards, and beautiful mountains with snow, and fall leaves and activities for the family like year round; then I'll be the one that's jealous. But for now- I love Vegas in the Spring!

And- if anyone ever wants to visit- you all know it's an open invitation anytime you want to come see us!

I love Spring!

Here's Carter playin in his new toy. He thought it was pretty fun!

Well, normally fall is my favorite season, but since we live in Vegas I like Springtime. It's the only time of year that I truly love the weather here. When it's still snowing and blizzarding everywhere else- it is almost always sunny here. Last week we took Carter on his first bike ride, and this week we've been to the park, and out walking a lot. It's so beautiful!

Valentine's Tag!

Well, I got tagged. I'm a little late getting it posted, but here goes...

How long have you been together?
Jason and I met in March of 2002! Thanks to his Aunt who met me once and decided we would be a perfect couple! I think she was inspired. So, now almost 6 years later, we're happily married, with one little trouble maker in the house.

Who said "I Love You" first?
Jason! And for the record- I think it was only our 2nd official date after a late night of talking and hanging out with his family at the cabin. He claims "I love ya" is different than "I love you." Either way, my reply was "um... I'm not quite ready for that yet." It didn't take me long to come around.

Who is smarter?
Like I'm going to answer that! He might think differently, but I don't think one of us is smarter. I usually take better tests (except I never remember anything later) And he is way smarter in business, and management, and real life experience.

Who Pays the Bills?
Who else? Me. And I do the budget- we've tried to do it the other way around, but since he never worries about it, it never got done. I'm always the one to freak out about it- so I get the job.

Who drives when you're in the car together?
Jason, Always. The only exception to this, is on trips... but ONLY if he's to the point where he might fall asleep. Otherwise it's him the whole way! Although I do tend to think there's a break on my side of the car.

Who is the most stubborn?
I really don't think either of us is that stubborn. But if I had to pick I guess I'll have to admit it's me. He usually caves pretty quickly.

Who wears the pants in your family?
This one is tough! I actually think it's pretty equal. I'm probably more demanding than Jason- but we both usually get our way.

Now, 3 random things about me.
1. I have a major sweet tooth! It doesn't matter how healthy we try to eat. Friday rolls around and we both totally get a craving for something sweet! We've been known to make brownies at 9pm, or make a late night run to Coldstone. Yummy!

2. I love, love, love having a boy! I always wanted a girl, but now that we have a boy I can't wait for him to be big enough to go kick a ball around, or play at the park, or rough house. So fun! And so easy- no accessories, just t-shirts and jeans.

3. I have recently realized that when I get really, really stressed, I just drop everything. I had a lot on my plate last weekend and started freaking out! What did I do? I took the day off- we went out to eat, and came home and vegged. Not very productive, but It sure made me feel better.

Thanks Tiff! That was fun. Now I tag Katie Call, Sarah, and Kristen

Heed!

So, it's been a while since I've put anything on here. We got so busy all of a sudden and I haven't had any time.

Some of you may already know, but the Dr. wanted Carter to have a CT scan since his head is sooo... big! Well, what did they find?! One smart kid! Just kidding, he's just got a big head- runs in the fam. We were a little nervous about the scan, but all is well.

I've been thinking a lot about all of our friends and how greatful we are for the friendships we have. We totally miss everyone up in Utah and GJ, but it's so nice to have such good friends here in Vegas too. It's really starting to feel like home. Never thought I'd say that! So, thanks for all the fun times and great memories!

These are for Grandma

Yes, he is finally sitting! He's getting pretty good, but we still keep a few pillows out for those times that he's having too much fun to catch himself.

Hmmm...Think he's a Sant??!

Ahh... the joys of eating!

Mmmm... Yummy green beans and bananas!!
And, he thinks he can feed himself too.
Do you think this kid likes to eat??!!
