After months of no updates or posts or anything I am finally taking nap time to write a little on here.
Carter got his tubes and life has been WONDERFUL! He just had another ear infection last week but other than that we went 2 months WITHOUT ANTIBIOTICS! Starting at 9 months that is the longest we have ever gone with out needing to go to the doctor or without medicine for the stupid infections. How easy is that.

So it is all set! I went to the ent and the audiologist this morning and after seeing if there is fluid in his ears and having him fail his hearing tests we scheduled our appointment for RELIEF!! The tubes go in on Feb. 22! I can't believe I am actually excited but it shows that there is end in sight for constant doctor visits, constant antibiotics, constant costco sized motrin, and sad little sick boys with diarrhea, grumpiness, runny nose, non sleeping, non eating, and pulling on the ears! Tubes are such an easy quick fix that I am happy that he was a candidate for them.

We had a good November...
The highlites are going to San Francisco with my mom and Gretta which was tons and tons of fun! Carter rode a cable car for the first time. We went shopping and for the very awesome activity of the week we saw Wicked!! I have been wanting to see that for so so long and my mom was nice enough to go to a matinee and then she put Carter to bed and stuff while me and Gretta went to the Evening show and it was INCREDIBLE! Carter was a trooper eventhough 2 days before we went to the doctor for ear infection #3!

Ok moving along with the catch up. We went to a pumpkin patch with my bro. and sis. and parents and we all had a lot of fun searching for our perfect pumpkin.
A few days before Halloween we had a trunk-or-treat with our ward and all the kids were so darn cute in their costumes and Carter was really fun to watch walking around with his little hippo toy and he was definitely the cutest lion EVER! I mean the most "ferocious" lion ever.
For halloween we took Carter out for the first of many trick-or-treats ever.
I didn't get many pics but here are some.

So I am going to start doing a bunch of catch up posts... so stay tuned!

In October-
We went to Oregon for my cute cousin Andrees wedding. She got married in the Portland, OR Temple to a great guy and they are a perfect couple! The day they got sealed we realized that Carter had a really bad ear infection but he was a trooper. We went with my mom and dad.
Then we went to the Tillamook Cheese factory because no trip to Oregon is complete with out some tillamook ice cream!
Then on to Seaside where Carter rode a Carousel for the first time and he LOVED it!

I just thought I would let you all know how excited I am that we have 2 very exciting weddings to go to this week. Thursday (I guess that is today) we have one of Brett's best buds who is marrying the cutest girl and then we are flying to Oregon to be there for my cousin Andree's (who is 1 year older than me) and not only am I so dang excited to see her but also I am so ECSTATIC that she is getting married and I hope Joseph knows just how lucky he is! So here is a shout out to the happy couples.

Ok so I know it has been forever and ever so I figure what better time to post a new entry than while Carter is snoring away and Brett is teaching at SLCC... so READER BEWARE! This is a very long post so unless you have minutes to waste just stop reading now.

Ok so my friend Tori got me all in to using photoshop actions a while ago and now that I have some pictures to play with I have been looking for some more actions to download online (I really should say I had Brett search for some for me because the last time I downloaded a few "free" fonts I also ended up with a few "free" viruses) I don't know if anyone does digital scrapbooking or anything but Tori got me into that too... THANKS TORI! Anyways here is one example of some of the fun I have been having...
