Catch Up and Update...

I know it's been a long time since my last post... but I have been a little preoccupied hanging out with my little man. The last few weeks have been a little crazy: with the organizing, preparing for our new little guy and still trying to plan some fun things to do with Carter while it's just the two of us.

But I am so happy to say that the last few days have been the best for me and my favorite 2 1/2 year old...we've been hanging out singing songs, dancing, walking and just playing cars together. It's been so fun to just sit and watch his little mind at work...I know I won't be able to do that when this new baby arrives...so I'm taking advantage now.

I'm proud, excited and a little nervous to say that I am already at a 3 and 90% effaced, so it will definitely be sooner than later when our little Braxton arrives. (It's really cute, Carter always talks about his little brother and calls him "Baby Baxton") I can't wait to soon be a mom of two boys....

As far as things go right now...Scott and I are just trying to enjoy the last few days of our lives and we know it...before we enter into parenthood of two!

Kangaroo Zoo (Yes At 36 weeks Pregnant!)

I've been feeling the "need" to take Carter out and do lots of things with him while it's still just the two of us....today was no exception. My sister and I took Carter and his friend Hunter to the Kangaroo Zoo in North Salt Lake.

Between the two of us, the boys were under control (I could not have done it without her!) They had so much fun too....

This is us...yes I have a waay shiny face (but you would too carrying around a 7 pound kid and running around the place!) The boys were so cute to sit at the little table and drink their slushies....

Carter was having so much fun! We've gone a total of three times now, but I have to say this time was the BEST so far! He was so much more adventurous and daring...it was so fun to watch!

Hunter is so advanced when it comes to coordination. This kid was cruising up the mazes and slides with the BIG kids! He was having a blast and seriously gave my sister a workout! (But look at how cute he is)
Julia (aka Ju Ju) was such a great sport. We would trade off watching each boy and she did such a wonderful job making sure the bigger kids didn't ruin our fun today!
And the best part of Kangaroo Zoo.....
That's right they both fell asleep on the way home! Gotta love nap time!

So for now I'm going to enjoy my time with Carter because I don't think I'll have much more alone time with him. (I'm already at a 2 and 75% effaced...so we'll see when our little man is going to arrive)

Endings, Beginnings and So Much More...

So my only brother graduated from Clearfield High School last past week. I have three sisters and this is my only brother....and what stud he's turned out to be...

Although graduations are fun, sentimental and festive....the actual graduation ceremony is BRUTAL! They even charged us $5 a person to attend (cheap Clearfield)! The ceremony was okay as far as ceremonies go, but I have to admit it's much more fun to be the graduate than to watch.

We went out to eat for Sean's graduation and of course Carter learned some new tricks from his Uncle. Like how to correctly put your hands while having a pie eating contest!
Or how to shove the most jello in your mouth without using utensils!

It was a fun time, it makes me feel old because it was just 6 years ago that I graduated from Clearfield High...now look where I am! CRAZY!

We (and by "we" I really mean Scott) has been trying to get the major outdoor projects done before this little baby arrives. And of course Carter had to lend a helping hand....sunglasses and all!

This picture was just too funny not to share....this is out little "exercising Timmy!"

The weather has been so nice lately and I've been trying to keep Carter busy (and myself for that matter...the busier I am the less I pay attention to all the aches and pains of being 34 weeks pregnant). Lately Ashley and I have been getting together at the Splash Pad (like twice a week) and the boys LOVE it!

Our little stud muffins are so adorable! And they play so well together, it's so nice because Ash and I get to hang out while the boys wear themselves out!

We've been so busy (in a great way) lately and have been spending as much time as possible as a family of three....because I swear this little guy is coming sooner than later. I'm 34 weeks pregnant (I had Carter at 37 weeks) and this little man already weighs 5 pounds 13 ounces! So for my poor body's benefit I hope things start happening within the next 3-4 weeks.

The 2009 Air Show!

It's that time of year again....and it only comes every few years....the Hill Air Force Base Air Show! Scott and I look forward to this event every time it comes around. For one: we love airplanes (my stepdad flies them so I grew up around them, and Scott just loves 'em) and for two: this year Carter was going to experience it for the very first time. At the last air show I was pregnant with Carter (only 5 months so I was way more active than this time). We were so excited to show Carter the wonderful world of Air Shows and all that entails.

Pretty sure our little guy LOVED going in the planes and looking at everything they had inside them! And this was my stepdad's first Aiw Show that he didn't have to "work" it, so it was extra special to spend it with Carter.

Scott also loved looking at the different planes, watching the show, and talking to his dad about all the fun stories of the planes.

My sister and I are all about the "freebies" you get at the different booths. We walked away with free diapers, lip gloss, shop towels, flags, magnets...the list goes on and on.

It was sucha fun time for us, the weather was nice (with a breeze even) and though there were a TON of people, we managed to spend 5 hours there today.
