Since we don't know when we'll be able to come back to Utah for a visit next, Jake, Sylvia, and Tori decided to take matters into their own hands and come see us!! We were all very excited to see them and Dennison compared the night before their arrival to Christmas Eve.... very appropriate. The Greens have been wonderful friends. The kind that we can "stop by" their house right around dinner time if we're ever "in the area". We could always call them 5 minutes before we want to hang out and they'd come on over. And best of all, they get all our silly jokes! The following pictures are from our weekend of fun. And I can't believe we didn't get a single picture of all 6 of us!! All these pictures aren't in any particular order, sorry. This is Carter and Dennison at Cannon Beach.
Carter's hair got so curly in the ocean wind! It was very cute.
Carter and Tori got to be pretty good friends. Carter thought he had a new toy to play with and Tori was such a good sport about it! They did a lot of the same things. Nap time for instance.
And cry time
The Greens down by the river. This was right before we skipped rocks and a brick.
Carter thought it was hilarious when Tori rode in his stroller.
Carter always wanted to be close to Tori. He tried a lot of things like poking her eyes, grabbing her legs, biting her head, stepping on her stomach, just fun stuff like that. Good thing Tori has a secret crush on him so she didn't get too upset.
Carter absolutely loves riding on Dad's shoulders. He has perfect little ear handles and can see so much more cool stuff.
The fam at Seaside.
Aren't they so cute together?! It was such a fun weekend with the Greens. Thanks for coming to see us! We miss you already and Carter keeps looking around the house just in case you're hiding somewhere. Next time we see you Tori can give Carter a little payback. ULTIMATE PUNCH!

our "Green" visit
Walking
Carter has gotten so much better at walking. He tries to walk everywhere but if he falls, he usually crawls the rest of the way.

Carter's fake laugh
So Carter has noticed that we give him lots of attention when he laughs. How could we not, it's so dang cute?! The past couple days he's been doing this fake laugh and then when we look at him and start laughing with him, he starts laughing for real. I think it's absolutely hilarious, so I thought you might enjoy it too!

Ear infection
I'm afraid that I've passed on my ear infection gene to my poor son. He was so sick all weekend long and so off to the doctor on Monday morning. Both ears are infected :( He's been doing much better since he's been on the antibiotics. This picture is right after we got back from the doctor. He fell right asleep on the couch while I was taking my shoes off and putting stuff away. My poor little baby.
