Good times

We are having so much fun with Carter these days! He is all over the place, and he is a very happy boy. He is already a little thrill seeker, and has no fear... which is kind of scary for us:) This is a "double decker" park that we went to with a play group from our ward. While we were there the sprinklers came on and Carter couldn't stay out of them! He doesn't care how cold it is, he loves playing in the water, and he got absolutely soaked! He did the same thing a few days earlier at the park near our house. I took some pictures, but they are missing somewhere on the computer so I'll have to track them down. Anyway, I am excited to have a play group to go to every Friday! It'll be a good chance for Carter and I to make some friends.
TABLE DANCER

Chris had a few awesome things happen for him this week! He found out that he got the externship that he wanted for the spring. He will be working for a 9th circuit court of appeals judge. He didn't think he was going to get it because he had some tough competition, but he got it! And I think he definitely deserves it with all the hard work he has done! Yay, for Chris! Also, he applied for a fellowship, which is only given to one person at ASU law school for his 3rd year. And yep, he got that too!! He will be doing a clinic in the summer and externships in the fall for four different prosecuting offices. Plus he gets a freaking awesome scholarship for his last year of school. I'm very proud of Chris and all that he has accomplished so far!

Fun at Kids club

Carter has absolutely loved going to Kid's Club every week! And this week was extra fun because his best friend Adam came! Emily and Adam Blais made the treck over from Scottsdale to join in the fun, and it was a good time had by all. Santa was there too, and the boys loved dancing along to all the songs. Then we fed them some yummy corndogs and rode on the carousel. Yahoo fer free entertainment! :)

Halloween 2010

We had so much fun on Halloween this year! Chris's parents and sister Shari got to come down for the weekend and party with us. On Friday night, while we were waiting for them to arrive, we carved pumpkins. Carter had so much fun playing in the messy pumpkin seeds!
On Saturday we went to Peter Piper pizza for lunch (which is like Disneyland for Carter), and went to our ward's Trunk or Treat that night. Carter dressed up as a lion, which is his favorite animal. He was so excited about his costume, but didn't like the fuzzy hood to be on his head for very long.






The Trunk or treat was awesome! We couldn't believe how big of a turn out it was! We brought 150 pieces of candy and ran out way before it was over. First, we ate dinner and then took turns giving out candy and taking Carter around to all the cars. Carter was confused at first, but soon got the idea, and loved holding out his bucket to get some candy.





After we went home and put Carter to bed, Jeff, Lori, Shari, and Chris went to a haunted house called "the nest". It is supposedly the 2nd best haunted house in the nation. (Not my cup of tea :)) I stayed home with Carter and tried to find something on tv that was NOT scary. I have sworn off the scary crap, cause I know I can't handle it. Chris said it was pretty scary. There was one part where they were walking in the pitch dark for 15 minutes! And not only was it pitch dark, but they had to squeeze through tiny spaces! Scary.


On Sunday night we had some trick or treaters, but nothing like the trunk or treat the day before. We bought way too much candy for Sunday... which we are still slowly scarfing down ourselves.
