HappyValentine's Day! (Better late than never)

I'm a little late posting on our Valentine's Day! I have been so engrossed in the Stephanie Meyer Twilight series that I haven't done anything on my blog. Well, since I have finally finished ALL of the books I am now doing some much needed catch up!




These are the Valentine's that our kids made!


These were their Valentine's Gifts!

Carter 8 mos.

Here are a few random pics of our little Carter, who by the way, is almost 8 months old. GEEZ!!

Carter's 6 Mos. Stats!

We had Carter's 6 month appointment yesterday even though technically he is almost 7 mos. He is weighing in at 16 lbs 8 oz. and is 25 in. long. Which means he is 25 % for his weight and only 5 % for his height. Carter seems so big to us, but on the curve he is actually pretty small. He is getting so big though! And, sadly, he is now sitting up on his own. I am very sad he is already to that milestone. It really just seems like yesterday we were having him. I really love that he smiles the biggest smile at me every time he sees me. I love that Gage, Sierra, and Maddie can get him to laugh all the time for some of the silliest things. I also really love that he still lets me rock him to sleep almost every night. I really wish I could keep all of our kids little forever. I love them all so much. They are my life!!!!

Our Weekend

Over the weekend, we went and stayed with Breed's mom in Lehi. We had so much fun! In Pleasant Grove, we went to this place called The Kangaroo Zoo. It is full of those inflatable slides that they have at carnivals. Well, this place is full of them. There is around probably 10 of the slides in this great big building. You just kind of let your kids go and roam and they have a blast. Poor Maddie, though, she was so sick. She wanted to play so bad, and she did a little, but she mostly just wanted to hang with Mom and Dad.
Sunday we went to Rodizio Grill. That place is so yummy. They just keep bringing you meat after meat and they cut you off a piece of everything from fish to chicken to pork to beef, you name it, they bring it. We all thought they were going to have to roll us out of there when we were finished. We definitely left there stuffed!



Breed's brother Rocky was pretty popular. All the kids wanted to sit on his lap to watch a movie.

Catch Up

I know it has been forever since I last posted, but it has been pretty hectic for us these past four or five weeks. This past Tuesday Breed's Grandma Evelyn passed away from a variety of illnesses. So it was kind of a blessing that she passed, because her body couldn't really take anymore. Breed got to see a lot of family from his mom's side of the family that he hasn't got to see in a very long time, which was nice. Everything went well though! His Grandpa Elmer is doing good. We had him over for dinner tonight, and he was in really good spirits given the circumstances. You can tell he sure misses her.
I will be sure and update pics. Carter is now 6 months old. He is getting so big. Where does the time go? Nothing much has really changed with our other kids, maybe just their attitudes :)!
Well, catch ya later!
