A sticky situation!

Last week I canned a bushel of peaches and a bushel of pears. I had done a little canning last year but not with a baby. It was a lot more difficult! It took me two whole days, I finally finished at 12:30 at night. My kitchen was such a mess, my shoes stuck to the floor and everything was disorganized and sticky. but I finished and it was worth it.

This is me and my helper.




This is the beautiful end product.

Time To Update

Right now Chris is still working at the plasma center and the Rigby Fire department. He is also taking an EMT class. As you can tell he's keeping pretty busy. On top of that it is fall his absolute favorite time of year because that means hunting season.
As for me I've just been enjoying being a mom and watching Carter grow. I am also glad that fall is here because maybe now I'll start cooking again!
Carter is growing and changing like crazy! Today I was letting him suck on my finger, which I don't usually do and to my suprise I felt something sticking out of his bottom gums...that's right Carter has already got his first tooth. I couldn't believe it! I wasn't even watching for signs of him teething because I thought it would be atleast another month before I had to worry about that. He has also been rolling over for over a month now! He laughs and grabs at everything. One funny thing about Carter is that not only does he grab things with his hands but he grabs things with his feet! Today he was playing with a plastic cup and he was holding it with his feet.

My Little Man

A while back my good friend Natelie sent me some pictures that she took of Carter when he was just a week old. I couldn't believe how little he used to be. Here are some of the pictures

Carter Update!

Carter is growing up so fast! Some of the new things he has been doing are: laughing, chabbering, rolling to his side, grabbing his toes (he tries so hard to get them to his mouth but just can't seem to do it!) and our favorite is when we blow bubbles with our tongue he copies us and blows bubbles back.

Wyoming

This last week Chris finished his last test for the semester!!! When he got home we loaded up our car and headed for Wyoming.

Chris and I oh and James playing in the water at Yellowstone

My parents caravaned with us to Yellowstone. My mom had fun helping me with carter. Carter's tummy is getting so round that we can't keep any shirts over his belly, so we call him Gus Gus:)

Don't let me get bored!

So yesterday Carter and I were home all day! After a long hot day in the apartment we needed to do something to pass the time, at least I did! So I decided to introduce Carter into the joys of dressing up:) Chris knows how much I like to dress up so before Carter was born he made me promise I would never dress Carter up in a dress. So Carter and I found other things to dress him up in!

First I dressed him like a gangster, but I realized that I don't want to encourage the gangster lifestyle so I tried to think of something better for him to imitate.

So I dressed him up like a Cowboy! Still I didn't think that was good enough. There had to be someone that I wanted my little boy to grow up to be someday......

So I dressed him up like his Dad! I couldn't think of anything better that he could be when he grows up!
