All just in October

October was way busy so sorry if this is kinda long. We had Preston's blessing, a few Halloween parties, our anniversary, Joel's birthday plus just everyday work and family stuff. So here I go.
We Blessed Preston on the 11th. It all went really well. Joel did a really good job. The only bad thing was I got really sick the night before so it took everything out of me to get trough the day. But like I said it went well.




So I can't believe we've been married for 7 years. This year we didn't do anything real big. Joel's parents took Carter and mine took Preston for a night. So we went to dinner, went shopping, went on a hike watched movies and slept in the next morning. It was fun! These are pics from our hike!
My family had our tradtional Halloween party. It was way fun. Everyone dressed up really cute. Becca has more pics of everyone on her blog. So if you wanna see them all check hers out. But this is my cute family!
Preston was the cutest mummy and Carter loved being Dracula
It's not the best pic but he's smiling so I love it
Sorry this pic isn't rotated
Matt and Sarah filled this thing up and everyone guessed how much was in it to win all of it. Maddy helped Carter guess and he actually won. I would've felt bad about takin it cuz Maddy helped but Joel was actually the 2nd closest. So I figured Carter could feel like he won. His face was so cute.
The famous doughnut eating contest. I thought it was funny that Carter held onto the doughnut. He was just chillin eatin his doughnut as everyone was not using their hands.
Halloween day was fun to. We went trunk or treating. Preston was so good and just slept in my arms while Carter and I went around. Carter was cute and was so polite he'd say Trick or Treat then Thank-you in the cutest voice to every single person.

Family (well mostly Preston) picture's

Ok I know it's been a long time since I updated. A bunch of people have given me a hard time. Sorry it's been crazy. But here are the pictures my wonderful friend Brooke took. She was so nice and patient. Preston was not havin it and I felt like I was going crazy. So when I saw how good they turned out I wanted to cry. These are only a few cuz I didn't want it to be to long. We took them when he was around 4 or 5 weeks old. And since he's almost 3 months old he looks different already. So I'll do another post soon of more recent pics. But here are my cute boys.
I just love my boyz. They are so cute!!
I always give Joel a hard time for not holding Preston's head up. So I know Preston does not look comfortable.
Awwww aren't we cute!

Preston is here!!

Well as most of you know Preston is here!! He came on Aug 1st @ 1:44 a.m. He was 8lbs 11oz and 21 inches. It was a long night but all worth it.
This pic is when Carter first met Preston. He was really nervous and just sat next to me at first. I think it was cuz he had like 5 people standing there with cameras pointed at him. He warmed up pretty quick though.1st family pic!!!!! To bad I look so puffy from labor still.Isn't he cuteThis was cute we had just changed Preston's diaper so he was layin there. Carter came over and laid down next to him. He laid there for a few min. It was so freakin cute!Carter's 1st kiss to Preston! I just love my 2 boys!

An update on us

It's been a busy summer for us. With getting ready for the baby, going swimming, to the park lots, working and all the that kinda stuff people do. So I didn't even realize how long it's been since I last put a post on here. So I'm posting just a few higlights of our summer so far. I put in a couple posts so scroll down (if you want) and check out Carter's b-day pic too. I'll still put in 4th of July. Just another day I've about all I can handle of posting right now =)

A big thing that has happened this summer is my parents left on there mission. They went to the Ukraine!! This is a pic of my fam at their farewell. We are getting big I know. This was awhile ago and my parents have been out for about a month. They are doing great! And starting to adapting to the Ukraine. We got a pic of Carter standing nicely but this is funnier. He likes to stand like that and say cheese. You can tell my Dad is laughing at him.

With my parents leaving we hung out with the fam a lot before they left. The night before they left we had a dinner at Sarah's. This is my parents saying good-bye to Carter that night. He didn't come to the MTC with us so this was his time to say good-bye. Of course I was crying while he was hugging them. Carter didn't really get that this was going to be the last time he saw them for a year and a half. So he just quickly hugged them, said I love you and got back to playin with cousins. But it was a sweet moment for me.

This is us at the MTC. It was so weird and cool for me to see my parents with name tags on. They are so cute!!
Since my Mom and Dad have been gone we've been able to talk to them on web cams and on the phone so that's been nice. And Carter keeps saying stuff about how Grandma and Grandpa are on a mission. And how they've been gone a long time. It's cute. So I'm grateful for the example my parents are setting for our whole family.
Of course we've gone to the zoo!
I know every year the pictures are about the same. But Carter looks different each year. So we keep taking them.
So I'm realizing I don't take pictures as much as I should cuz that's all I really have. Oh well

Carter's Birthday!

Well Carter turned 3 on May 6th! I know that was awhile ago but I wanted to make sure it was on here.
We had a swimming party at my parents. As you can see Carter got a lot of trucks and loved it. He was so cute when he was opening presents he would keep sayin "oh my goodness I love it" or "oh it's my favorite thank you". It was so sweet!
His scooter which he loves!
The best thing he said when he was getting presents was when Joel came out with his new bike. Carter said "Oh my gosh, I can not believe it" then he jumped of his chair and ran to it. It was so freakin funny that everyone was laughing!
And of course a truck cake!! It turned out to be a great party. Thanks to everyone that came!

Bowling!!

So we finally took Carter bowling. We've been wanting to take him for awhile. I guess we never got around to it till now. We went to Fat Cats in Ogden. That's a fun place. They have all sorts of stuff there. We helped him the first few times. Then of course he wanted to do it himself. We got 2 games but by the second he just wanted to sit and eat his pizza. It was cute.

We played some mini golf too. But Carter didn't seem to into it. But he loved playin the arcade games with us.
It was way fun!!
