my boys

For now, Carter goes to bed before Jude. So for a few hours after Carter's in bed, Jude gets some good one-on-two time with Dennison and I. We have a lot of fun with him.



He's my cookie helper. I wonder why.....

These two boys love each other!

Carter always wants to 'hold' Jude


Carter has discovered that he can put all sorts of things in Jude's hand and he'll hold on to it.
It's his new favorite game.

Jude has been practicing sitting up. He still falls over after just a few seconds but he's getting better.
Carter helps every chance he gets.

He also has discovered his feet.

Carter never stops cracking us up. He loves to hide things or himself and then say, "go?" as in 'where did it go?' He puts his hand under the water in the bath and then asks, "go?" It took me a while to know that his hand was the thing he was 'hiding'.

Wheel....of......FORTUNE!!!


Wheel of Fortune is Carter's absolute favorite show. Granted, he doesn't watch much tv...... usually only Jeopardy and WOF. He always yells out letters and repeats letters the contestants guess. And of course he loves that there's so much clapping. He claps right along with them.

random pictures and stories all in one post

When I went to get Carter out of his room this morning this is what I found. He had pulled out two diaper bags from the closet, one on each shoulder, and was walking around dragging them behind him.

He was entertaining me while I was cooking dinner.

His hair has a lot of curl in it. This was right after we took him swimming.

Jude has several "toys" like a stander thing and a rocking chair thing and a bouncer. Whenever we get one and bring it close to put Jude into it, Carter bolts over and jumps in before we can put Jude in. Here, he had done his lightning move into Jude's car seat. He thought it was hilarious when we put Jude on top of him.

Once a week I watch this little girl so her Dad can go to rugby practice with Dennison. She's a busy-body and has a lot of potential to drive all 3 of us crazy. She treats Carter like her little baby doll: trying to make him take naps, carrying him around, making him sit right next to her ALWAYS. She's pretty cute though.
And last but certainly not least, I found this beauty while going through my old camera cards. Yes indeed, that's a real lizard.

Jude the roller

It's official. Jude can roll from front to back and back to front. Last week he rolled all the way across the room.

He especially loves rolling onto his stomach. I guess he wants to learn to crawl.

Here he is rolling off the blanket while Carter reads to him.

Happy Anniversary to us!

What a cute couple we are! Prepare yourselves for lots of pictures and a long post about the past 3 years of our life together. Let's take a journey through the past......

We've been through two vehicles and are now on our third.



We've been through 3 cats (juanita not pictured) but OLIVER is still our favorite. Sadly, he only has 3 legs now :( He lives with my sister in Idaho. Leroy does too, if he's still alive :( He's been MIA for quite a while, but he's a feisty one!

We have moved 4 times. We have purchased, remodeled, and sold one house. Isn't it pretty!?

We've made one MAJOR move. This picture was taken after our car broke down and we had to walk across town to rent a truck.

Lindsay and Brian got married about 2 months before us.

This was while we were dating. My hair was so blonde!

Dennison tied me up at Lindsay and Brian's reception.

Hanging out with Ani. I'm pretty sure we were watching veggi-tales.


Our trip to McCall while we were dating.


The actual moment of proposal. I said yes.




Finally Married!

Carter
And who would've though after only 3 years of marriage we'd have not one but TWO little cuties!
Jude

Whew! What a ride it's been. And it just keeps getting better. I love my Dennison and I'm so glad he's mine 4-eva!
