...Carter's Many Positions...

The many positions or Carter reading and watching!
Started out sitting...
Then decided to stand...
Then kneel...
Then stand on his head!
Who lays down with there legs out to the side like that! OUCH!
Backed up his train and took a seat! The couches weren't good enough!
My very silly kid!

-Fall Break Camping Trip-

We have been wanting to go camping for a long time and now when it is getting cold we finally found some time! We went over Fall Break past Hamlin Valley and just the three of us! We had a lot of fun with our little family! Carter was pure entertainment the whole time!
Driving up there we past this Ranch and they had the most beautiful fall trees! They were sunshine yellow and I just had to take a pic!
We just drove until we found a place that looked good! We actually got a good spot because there was a lot of wood around us already cut and sitting right by us so we didn't have to go get us some!
One thing we forgot was a table! So we had to cook everything on the ground!
McKay got a fire going and Carter thought it was pretty awesome!
Look at how big this picture makes him look, eating his hamburger all by himself! The hamburger is bigger than his hands!
Playing some baseball with a can we found laying around!
We had an elk by our campground! Which kinda freaked me out! We never actually saw it but we heard him on several occasions!
Enjoying the campfire before bedtime!
Lounge Lizard!
We roasted some marshmallows! Carter like them better not roasted!
We slept in the back of the Yukon on an air mattress! Carter slept like a log and McKay slept hiding under the blanket! It wasn't a cold evening or morning but at night it got so cold! We wished we would have brought more blankets! We know for next time though!
Next day was the start of deer hunt so we were out in our orange to be safe! Carter looked super cute in his!
Picking pine nuts for Gpa Jones! We didn't have much luck!
Carter found some sticks and this stump and started playing the drums!
He kept walking around the Yukon like he thought by the next time he made it around more people would be there or he would find toys! He had no such luck! So instead he would climb between the two coolers and play peek a boo or try to push them around!
He wandered away from us and plopped himself down... I guess he just needed Carter time!
Look Mom I am back! Dad is boring!
He loved this hat because it had a deer on the front! Look how cute he is all decked out in orange!
Finally we left when Carter started acting tired and sure enough not much into the ride he was out!
More of the beautiful trees on our way home!
Well hopefully we can do this more often and maybe get some others to come! The more the merrier right!

We also have lots of pictures of Carter but I loved them all I just couldn't pick a few!!!
Carter makes a really great model!!!
In every lacation we took the pictures Carter always had to pick up something and play with it! The picture above was leaves!
LOVE his blue eyes!!!
Cheeser!!!
In this picture he is screaming his guts out because he didn't want to walk down the hill!
Sweet Boy!
Cheeser again!
Found some wood!
Showing us his muscles!
Big Boy!
Acting so innocent when really he is plotting his escape from having to sit on the rock!
More leaves!
"What? I have to sit here on this rock???"
Got up anyways! Little sas he is!



Found the stick!

Uncle Lance was throwing rocks at Carter and Carter was trying to catch them!
Or else he was screaming because he wanted to get down and wander!
Climbing thru the rocks!
I Love My BOYS!!!
Best Buds!!!
Love them and thanks again Nathan!!!

...San Juan Trip...

DAY 1
Enteprise played San Juan last Friday in football so we of course headed up since that is where Sam and Scott moved, plus it is always fun to watch Isaac play some football! So we left Enterprise around 11ish and took a few stops and got to San Juan at around 6ish! We dropped McKay off at the game and headed to Sam's house and Carter knocked on the door and Sam and Scott gave him quite the greeting!
This picture is a little difficult to see but Sam's face his priceless! 
Excited Aunt Sam! Carter thinking she is being a little freaky!
Enteprise sadly lost the game! We basically were playing JV though because we had so many hurt and suspended and many players were playing in different positions! It had been raining all day so we had a cold game and had to bundle up warmly!
Carter fell asleep for the second half of the game and woke up right at the end to give Isaac high 5's and Dad some lovin!
DAY 2
The next day we had a wonderful yummy breakfast! Lounged around for a little bit while everyone got ready!
My lounge lizards!
We started out the day going to Bluff, which is a Mormon settled town under the direction of John Taylor he led about 230 Mormons on an expedition to start a farming community in southeastern Utah. After forging about 200 miles of their own trail over difficult terrain, the settlers arrived on the site of Bluff in April 1880. (The trail followed went over and down the "Hole In the Rock".)
Isaac standing in front of one of the covered wagons! 
One of many one room homes they built and lived in!
School room for the kids! I told them to pose as if they were students! This is what I got... Sam is the only one who behaved, the rest laughed at me!
John Taylor
This is one of the original wagons used to come down "The Hole In the Rock"! Amazing it is still in one piece!
I thought this fact was interesting... the leader of the group called a lady and asked her to be the nurse over the colony which included being a midwife for the woman having babies! She had NO prior experience and took the job anyways! Amazing!
Traditional Navajo Homesite
Inside the Navajo Homesite
Carter fell asleep on our ride there so he missed the whole tour but he needed the sleep!
Still sleeping on our way to lunch!
Twin Rocks above the cafe we ate at!
After we finished visiting that fun little town and grabbing some food we headed back to San Juan and found a park for Carter to play at!
Loves slides!
McKay chasing Carter down the slide! Carter thought this was a funny game!
Scott the jungle monkey!
Cheese!
Sam wanted to be apart of the tunnel at the top of the slide for Carter to go under!
Practicing his pull ups!
Our little gymnast on the balance beam!
After the park the boys went golfing in Monticello! Sadly no pictures and I can happily say McKay beat them all! While the boys were golfing we went to the dinosaur museum and Carter was in heaven! He would run from dinosaur to dinosaur and growl at each one!
He didn't like Sam holding him because he wanted to run to each dinosaur!
He couldn't quit starring at this one! I think this one was his favorite!
We got back to Sam's apartment as we waited for the boys and I noticed her calendar!
Who ya think she loves the most???
Isaac was the only one sad he was leaving!
After the boys got back we went out to eat at a steakhouse that was yummy and gave you so much food none of us got close to finishing our plates but the growing Isaac!
DAY 3
We woke up on day 3 and went to sacrament meeting!
After church! Cute family!!!
Getting packed up to head home!
McKay resting on the job!
Carter playing with Sam one last time before we headed out!
We left with a sweet dance from Sam and hit the road! In Green river we stopped to eat some lunch at a school! Carter just wanted to go play on the play gym!
King of the stump!
Dad and Carter chilling in back watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!
Carter was such an awesome rider! He does so well in cars! We had so much fun visiting Sam and Scott! I love spending time with family and happy we got this chance!
