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!

Instructions on how to properly grow a healthy thriving Carter... make sure to give it lots of applesauce and oatmeal. When it needs a snack a sippy cup of carrot juice works great. And most of all... singing songs will always prevent the wilting of its leaves!

This was his favorite part about the photo shoot with Lauren... he got to play with rocks and boy did he have fun.

Doesn't this look like Carter is receiving a revelation?

So this one is one of my favorites

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.

We had a very full week of food, biking, an "un-birthday" party, a pinata, food, playing games, hanging out, going on a food tour, ice cream, cabin, more games, some went water skiing, food, games, hanging out, kayaking, and of course one more sunday dinner. It really was so much fun for everyone to be together... especially with 2 new babies in the family. Carter looks like he is big enough to eat his two little tiny cousins (one is 2 months and the other is barely 3 weeks old) Wow how big a 6 month old looks!
