Best Baby / Worst Mom!

On Monday night we went to Derek's parents house. Derek's sister Angie was in town so we went down to say hi. Angie was holding Karter and said something about his tooth. I asked her what the heck she was talking about because Karter doesn't have any teeth yet. To make a long story short, Karter got his first tooth and I didn't even know it!! Somebody else had to find it for me because I'm so clueless. The reason why I had no idea was because he has been SO happy. He has had a yucky nose and been chewing on things a little bit but he is such a happy baby. Kannon didn't get his teeth till he was 8 months old and he was REALLY sick, so I was just shocked that Karter got his at 5 months. (I'm just trying to justify why I'm a bad mom!) Anyway, he's just happy and fat and we love him!! :)


Today is my Birthday and I was spoiled!! I have the sweetest husband. He went in with his parents and my parents on this picture of Christ that I have been wanting. I love this picture because all of the pictures of Christ have a little girl it seems like, but finally they made one with a little boy just for me! :)


Derek also got me this vinyl lettering to go on the wall, and these cute boxes. I LOVE them all.
And I need to post a few more pics just for my journaling. This is Derek putting his new grill together that he got for Father's Day.
And finally, Angie's kids have been in town all week so Kannon has had a chance to play with his cousins. We took them down to my mom and dad's house and let them ride the ponies and play around on the farm.

BUSY BUSY BUSY!!

It's been a while since I posted last. We have been so busy lately it is crazy. I have been spending tons of time painting Derek's new office. I will post some pictures of it as soon as it is finished. He has been trying to get everything up and going for a new business he is starting with one of his co-workers and has been super busy himself. The weather has been so crappy with all of this rain, and I have had a hard time knowing how to keep Kannon occupied. We got him some of these bathtub paints and he has LOVED them.

Another thing that has kept him and Karter busy is this little toy that I borrowed from my sister. Derek doesn't like it to much because it is pink and flowery for a little girl, but it keeps them quiet and busy so I'm ok with it!! :) It was just supposed to be for Karter but Kannon thinks that he has to be under there with Karter.
Derek had a great Father's Day yesterday. (I think......that's what he told me anyway.) I got him a grill. He's been wanting one since we got married so I decided to get one. Why not?! Now he can cook dinner!! :)

Family Pictures

Yesterday we had our family pictures taken by my friend Brendi. She did an awesome job!! They would have been better if we would have lost 20 pounds for the event though. Thanks Brendi! Here are a few.

Our trip to Boise

This last weekend we took a little trip to Boise. Derek's nieces Rhyan and Brinley got baptized. We had so much fun!! It was so hot there and Jason's family (Derek's brother) lives in a subdivision with a pool. Kannon had so much fun swimming, he thought that he could just jump in and swim like the big kids. It only took once for him to realize that he couldn't jump in and go swimming on his own. :) Then we got him a life jacket. :)
The water was a little cold at first but that didn't stop him.Kannon, Derek, Brody and Tyson. (Kannon's cousins)


Derek with Jason's boys before the baptism. Derek actually got to speak at the girls baptism.
I love this picture of Kannon. He is checking out some ants.

Right before we went to Boise we took Kannon and Kaeson to the splash park. They weren't sure what to think about it at first but then they loved it.

And.... Clansy (my little brother) got his mission call to the Argentina Resario mission. He leaves September 23rd. We are going to miss him so much!
