Alicia visits. . . and Helens babyshower.

My cousin Alicia was visiting from Oregon, and we were able to hang out! We took our kids to the inflatables place and they had a ball! You cant see him very well, but Carter is bent over jumping, Dallas is in the pink and yellow dress, and Jason is sitting. (Jason is my cousin Alicias son, and Dallas is her younger sister (also my cousin lol) Kristins Daughter)

Carter off jumping by himself.

Then a couple days later Ellen and I threw a baby shower for our friend Helen who just had another girl. For some reason I didn't get hardly any picts, but I thought it turned out cute, I did the theme with vintage looking pinwheels, and lots of pink! :) 

My cake pops and pinwheel cupcakes. :) I think they turned out pretty darn cute!

Carter and the Giants

We decided this year that with Carter being so active, we needed to find good outlets for all of his energy. We started looking around and found out that the city of Provo offers quite a few different organized sports! And the best part is. . . it's only $25.00 for 6 weeks. They meet 2 times a week, and have groups set up teaching the kiddos (ages 3-4) how to hit, throw, and run. It's a lot of fun, and I'm quite impressed with how well it is organized. Carter gets so excited to go play baseball, and he loves his team shirt!

More weddings. . .

Another one of Jimmies nieces had their wedding this past weekend, so I told Jim I would come help out. It worked out nicely because the times that she needed me Brandin only had one class, so he was able to keep Carter and I was able to go alone. :) Love that little boy, but sometimes a little break is nice. I went over Thurs morning on the train and came back Sat. We were able to get the 2 huge weddings done, and we had a funeral on top of that! Then on my way to the train station to come home, I find out that my train is broken and 3 hours delayed. The nice thing is that I was able to stay for my little brothers baptism, and then my brother Tyrell volunteered to drive me home. What a nice brother he is! All in all it went pretty well, and now I am home enjoying my summer and 7 Peaks!!!

Carter and friends

I have a lot of random photos of Carter playing with his friends, and didn't want to lose them in the chaos of my picts (oh yes, I have thousands, and once I file them away it feels like it is IMPOSSIBLE to find them again. I have a problem and need to go to an AA meeting creating for people who take too many picts lol) So all of these picts are going together! 

Carter and Steven "playing" together. Somehow when I pressed the button to take a pict, and in the second that it took to take the pict, they were already fighting over whatever toy they had. Silly boys! But I thought it very fitting so I'm posting it anyway. :) 

Brandin and Carter throwing around a football. They are such good buddies!
