Ragged Mtn.

Yes, that is my Mom. Does she look like she's in control?!

Once again, My Mom getting ready to ride the Mountain Board (like a big skateboard.)


Here's a few pics from our latest trip to Colorado.
Did some hiking
Had a survivor "Challenge"
changed lots of diapers!
Had fun in the rain
Dirt biked through the mud
Dealt with diaper rash (not fun!)
Were the only ones NOT to participate in the family "talent" show.
the boys fished
Carter played with Rocks
Played dominoes, charades, and Catch Phrase (my favorite)
Ate WAY too much!
We had a blast! It was so fun to see the fam!

Blog Hopping

So- it's weird how sitting at a computer and blog hopping can make you feel reconnected again! We just got back from a trip- and for some reason the first few days home are hard for me. I just feel all out of it, and can't remember what I normally do all day every day. So today I took some time to blog hop! It's been a long time and I must say I enjoyed every minute of it!

I just have to say THANK YOU ADAM! They have a link to this blog http://www.seriouslysoblessed.blogspot.com and it is hilarious! For any of you who laugh at our "Mormon Culture" you might get a kick out of it. Anyway- it made me smile.

Carter's up now- so gotta go!

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.

Lots of accomplishments and a bonk on the head!

Poor little guy got a little excited and forgot to move his feet. Took a tumble and bonked his head on the table. Wish I could say it's the only time he's hit his head!

And, for those of you who didn't think I had a green thumb- I actually got my first tomato yesterday! Isn't it beautiful?! There's lots of green ones, and a few with some spots-but this is the first ripe one and it tasted delicious! Thanks to my bro. who taught me how to polinate the plant! (I don't think we have bees around our yard, so I had to do it with a paint brush. Who knew?!)

Well, it's been an exciting week here in the Sant home! Nope, he doesn't crawl yet- but he has started walking!!! Ok- to be fair, he can army crawl, and he did finally pull himself up in the crib- but crawling has never been his forte! But yesterday, he finally let go of my fingers- well actually I made him let go, and he did pretty good- so we decided to practice some more when Dad got home!

We Did It!!!

Well, it's been a long time in the making, but we finally did our race!!! We ran the Provo Canyon 10 miler, and we actually ran the ENTIRE thing! No stops or anything. Can't say I was the quickest of the bunch, but we accomplished our goal and I must say I'm pretty proud of us for doing it. Jason even hung back with me the whole time. My brother Mike ( who didn't train- and ran way faster than any of us) and my sister Katie did it with us. They are my inspiration. Thanks to my sis for keeping me motivated.

We had a blast. Stayed at the cabin in Midway, and loved, loved, loved the beautiful weather. This is the time of year that it's hard to come back home to Vegas. The mountains, the trees, grass, and the crisp morning air, it was gorgeous!

Other than that, just trying to get our vinyl business up and running. I'll let you know when our blog is up. And- I'll try to be better about keeping this blog going. Can't believe almost a whole month has gone by without a post.

Summer Lovin'

Well, it's been a while since I've posted pics of Carter- and I thought it was high time! We took a trip to Lake Mead this past week- and he had a blast. He had his shades on and was ready to go. (the lake water was a bit cold- so he preferred the hot tub) But he loved riding on the boat, and playin with the other kids. Sorry, I'm not including any swimsuit pics of us! (I know you're disappointed:)

And this other one was just a cute pic of my clean boy straight out of the bath! I even did a little mowhawk on him. So cute!
