Christmas 2009

Chad took Carter to a Christmas party for the grange in Moses Lake. I was waxing and couldn't make it with them. They came back with some cute pictures. Carter was a bit nervous to sit with Santa. Kinda funny.

Chads Birthday

This year for Chads birthday we went to Inca's and enjoyed a Mexican feast. It was super fun and for dessert I bought him one of those chocolate cakes from Costco. Anyone that knows Chad knows that he loves chocolate with a passion. He loved the cake. Happy Birhtday Sweetheart, I love you more every year!

Thanksgiving Fun 2009

Fall Leaves

Carter and I went outside to play in the leaves and he had so much fun! Here are some pictures of the craziness!

Halloween Fun

We had a great time this year. Unfortunately, we didn't go all out like last year, but I think our outfits were pretty cute. Carter was a Tiger and we were the Tiger Tammers. We went Trunk or Treating at the Stake Center and then we went to some friends homes to Trick or Treat. Our friends invited us over to a Halloween party a week before Halloween and Carter had a lot of fun with his friends.

A Thank You that is way over due

My birthday was August 23rd and Chad got me the most amazing gift. I didn't think that I would get one but he surprised me and got me a Cricuit Expression! I love it and I really needed to say THANK YOU to a sweet husband that new I would need something to do during the long 2 months of dreaded harvest. I LOVE YOU HONEY!

Cold and Flu Season

Our family has been so sick. I have to tell you, it is not fun to be 7 months prego, sick, and trying to take care of as sick toddler and husband. Chad was still in harest, so we didn't really see him at all last week. Poor guy had to work through the sickness. The docter thought it was the Swine Flu. Not fun. We are finally getting over it and feeling better. The cough and cold symptoms are lingering, but we do see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have to say a big THANKS to my parents for coming and helping with Carter and I on Friday night and Saturday. I had no more energy to care for him and his fever wasn't breaking 103. Chad was working and I was just emotional, so my parents came over with masks on and all. My mom sanitized our house, sheets, and everything and I'm sure that helped us clear it out of the house. Thanks a ton!! Happy Fall!

Kid Aprons and Super Saturday FHE Project

I took on a FHE board project for our Super Saturday Craft Day. I love how it turned out. I had a ton of people sign up to do them and they all turned out so great. I wish I would have taken more pictures of the other projects that we did. It was a great day, but Tanya and I are happy that it has come and gone :) Bring on the Holidays!

I made these a while ago and never had a chance to post them. I made them out of placemats and Carter loves it. I tried to make them as unisex as possible and well I think that it is hard to make an apron unisex. Here is Carter and a buddy posing for the picture while we were making cookies.

Nursing Cover

I've made so many of these over the past 2 years, and I finally made one for me. I love this fabric because it is so unique. It will get a ton of good use :)

Carseat Canopy

I love this. I am trying to make Carters stuff work for a girl and I think it is turning out pretty cute. I need to add some bows or flowers to this canopy, but I love the fabric. I added the zipper to help make it easier getting the little one in and out of the seat. I've never made one before so I love how it turned out.

BUSY, BUSY ME

I've been working on the baby bedding. Here is what I have done so far. I'll post pictures of the room when I'm done with it.

BIRTHDAY COOKIES

Ok so I have to give credit to my Mother-in-Law. She makes the best sugar cookies. I made them for Carters birthday party and they were a hit. Melt in your mouth. Here is the recipe for anyone who wants to try the best sugar cookies ever.

SUGAR COOKIES
1 C butter
1 C shortening
1 C powdered sugar
1 C granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
1 t cream of tarter
1 t baking soda
½ t salt
4 ½ C flour

Cream together butter, shortening, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until fluffy. Sift together dry ingredients and add creamed mixture. Mix well, roll dough out to ½ inch thick, bake at 350 for 10 min until light brown. Make sure not to over bake. They should not be hard. Store in the fridge.

Carters Birthday Pics

It was so much fun decorating for his birthday. Even though it was in July, I had to post some of the fun pictures. We celebrated his birthday in Oregon, but we also had a little birthday party for friends. He loved blowing out the candles. We lit a candle for his friends to blow out too. It was good time!

Multnomah Falls

Carter found a little friend at the falls. The little guy wanted to copy Carter and he loved it.

Chad, Carter, and Dad posing for the camera. It was so pretty at the falls. It was Chads, and Carters first time visiting the falls.

Carousel Pics

Carter loves horses and the carousel was such a treat for him to ride on. I think Chad even had a great time :)

Oregon Family Pics

I thought they turned out really cute. We had so much fun together!

Tillamook Cheese Factory

I don't think Carter is too thrilled to be cow!

OREGON

Carter and Grandpa leading the pack, when we walked to Haystack Rock.

Some guy was working on a mountain scene sand castle. It looked cooler in person!

I don't think Carter left their side the whole trip. Gotta love Grandma and Grandpa!

Me and my sisters!

We had a great time on Oregon. It was summer trip that we took in July, but I had to show the pictures. We went 2 weeks later with Chads side of the family and had a blast too. Here are some pictures that we took with the family.

IT'S A GIRL!!!

Well the ultra sound went really great! We are so excited to be having a healthy baby GIRL. I am seriously going crazy with ideas for the nursery. Any help or fun ideas would be great to hear! Thanks.

Baby News

Ok so I should know the sex of the baby by now and I have to say that I am frusterated because I don't. I've already paid for the ultasound and well the moved my appointment back a week! It probably isn't a big deal, but with hormones raging I just thought I'd share. So I'm take bets on who thinks I'm having a boy or a girl! Wanna guess? :)
