CARTER WALKS AND SAYS HIS FIRST WORD!

Carter is now 11 months old. Its crazy that his first birthday is coming up so soon! We have had so much fun with Carter at this stage! He has grown to be such a happy and fun little guy. In fact, last night Chris said to me "I don't want Carter to grow up. I wish Carter could stay how he is right now." He loves to play, and its been fun watching him learn to crawl and walk. Chris gets home from school and Carter is sooo excited! They always have a little wrestling match on our bed, and have started playing hide and seek around the couch. It is so fun, and Carter laughs so hard everytime. I am so happy that I have the opportunity to be at home with him all the time. I wouldn't have it any other way.

VISITING THE MESA TEMPLE

Chris volunteered to help take down some chairs after the Easter pagent at the temple. We hadn't been to the temple yet, so we decided to figure out how to get there and then spend the afternoon as a family. It was absolutely perfect weather to sit in the shade and relax on the soft grass.

We had fun playing with Carter and his blanket (every blanket is Carter's blanket, because he loves them all), climbing on trees, and playing with the leaves. Chris and I hope to go back sometime soon and see the inside of the temple.
