Sick Little Guy

Carter is sick. Dad and I each got thrown up on twice yesterday. Today his stomach seems more settled but he's running a fever. He's trying to play but keeps coming back for rests and loves. Luckily Mom, Marijka, and I finished most of our huge refurbishing of the house project so we can give him the attention he needs. I'm excited to see how everything looks after they put in the flooring today.

Swimming in Mesa

Carter loved the swimming pool at the place we stayed while in Mesa. He and Dad went down a couple of days and took advantage of it. It must have been pretty warm in order for my Dad to get in it. He doesn't do cold water. Carter enjoyed just kicking his feet and pushing himself around the pool.

Trip to Mesa

Mom, Dad, Carter, and I have been enjoying the warm weather in Mesa, Arizona this week. When my Dad heard was going to Arizona in November he immediately decided I needed to bring along Carter's favorite babysitters. My niece Victoria took out her endowments tonight and my nephew Zach is getting married tomorrow. I'm so grateful I'm able to be here to share such special moments in their lives with them. The temple was so gorgeous when I came out tonight and the temperature was perfect. I had to sit for a minute and just enjoy this view.

Carter & The Dog Cage

I don't know what it is about this boy and dog food. It's a never ending battle to keep him away from the dog's dishes. If I'm not fast enough he takes their food and puts it in their water. I'll find him walking around with something in his mouth and when I ask him to show me he will hand me a piece of dog food. He will carry a handful around and feed it to them piece by piece. Janalee took care of Benji one weekend. When we went to pick him up Carter took the opportunity to shut himself in the cage. I wonder if he thought it might slow me down enough he could get some quality play time in with the food. His only problem was he had already knocked the water over so most the fun was gone.

Brooklyn & Carter

Brooklyn has adored Carter since the day he was born and he loves her too. She is a huge help and I love when she can come stay. I'm sure she is a huge help for Mom with their new baby Crew. He us such a doll.

My Little Pirate

My little pirate was determined not to look at the camera on Halloween.

Deer Camp

Carter loved being around the horses and dogs at Deer Camp. Having Dad all to himself couldn't have made him happier. He had such a good time. I have never seen him happier. I stayed up there an extra day because he was having so much fun.

Happy Halloween

We had a busy day today. It's good we wore Carter out. Otherwise I don't think he would have fallen asleep. Between all the homemade root beer he drank and the candy he was on a major sugar high.
