Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone! Carter was a dragon and Mason was a lion. We had such a fun night and the boys couldn't stop shoving candy (with wrapper still on and everything) into their mouths. We went to my mom's for a little while and trick or treated at a few houses. Then it was off to the ward's Trunk or Treat. Hopefully the boys sleep tonight!!




Mason wasn't feeling too good and was getting tired of all the pictures.


The boys loved being pushed around in the wagon. Made it easier for us too!


We stopped at my mon's house and got some pictures of most of the grandkids.

Fun with Blinds

When I get ready for the day, I bring the boys into my bedroom with some toys and let them play. When I got out of the shower, this is where I found them. They know they are not allowed to play with the blinds, but I couldn't help but laugh at what I saw!

Bringing out the Silverware

So I finally gave in and bought some silverware for the boys to start eating with. I know I probably should have done this months ago. I was so worried that they would stab themselves with the forks. I guess I am just an overprotective mom.



Mason loved using the fork. He wouldn't put it down or eat without it. It took nearly 45 minutes for him to eat dinner.






Carter loved using the fork too. But he realized after about 5 minutes that it was a lot easier just picking up the food with his fingers.

Carter's Surgery

Carter had his hernia surgery today. While I knew that everything would be ok, I hope I never go through something like this again. It was a lot harder than I thought handing him off to the nurse and watching him go down the hall to surgery crying and reaching out to me. The surgery was about an hour and he did great. Thanks to my sister, Cindi, for watching Mason and for all the prayers. We appreciate all of our family and friends for all their help.

Carter and I in the waiting room. He was so good in here entertaining all the other patients with his smile and personality. Everyone thought he was the cutest thing ever.


Daddy and Carter right before the surgery.


The nurses were all so nice and one of them came with toys and bubbles to keep Carter distracted. He loved the bubbles and had a blast with the new toys.


I know this picture is blurry, but I have to show off his very adorable and fashionable cap!!


This is on the way home from the hospital. The medicine was still going strong so Carter was in a great mood and happy!

Camping





We went camping this weekend up in Payson. This was the boys first camping trip and they had a blast. They didn't do too well at night, let's just say Matt and I got about 3 hours of sleep on Friday and 5 hours of sleep on Saturday night, but it was still fun! We can't wait to go again!

So I saw this fun quiz on Miki Bailey's blog. I am such an anti reader saying I have too much other stuff to do. I actually started reading Twilight this last Friday night and finished on Saturday afternoon. I started New Moon on Saturday night and finished it on Sunday afternoon. I started Eclipse on Sunday night and I am still reading it due to the fact that I don't have my husband's help to watch the boys. I love them all and couldn't put them down all weekend.


I guess I can see why I am most like Esme. I do look to myself as a mother figure and care most about my family and friends. She looks just like I imagined her.
