What a great year 2011 has been and we can't wait to see what 2012 brings us!

Birthday!

So Isaac's birthday was on the 30th of December and I decided to make him a cake! I have always wanted to be able to decorate cakes and be good at it but I have never found the time or just got in and started practicing! Well here is an attempt at a Jazz cake! It turned out alright! I wish the Jazz was a darker purple but like I said it was alright!

Happy Birthday Isaac!

Carter at 10 Months!

Carter hit 10 months on the 12th of this month! He is growing and learning tons! We have so much fon with him!

A little bit about him:

he still only has the 2  bottom teeth! He loves to giggle and is getting really ticklish! he gets into everything! Especially those things he knows is a big No No! He loves to climb the stairs and loves to pull everything out of the cupboards! In fact we bought some baby proofing things for the kitchen in those cupboards we didn't want him in and none of the adults could get them undone so we bought a different kind and Carter and figured them out! He is way to smart!

For Christmas he kept getting into all the decorations... so when we needed to get some things done we stuck him in "the cage"!

We have been to a lot of SUU Men's games lately to give Dad some company! Doesn't Carter look so cute in his SUU warm ups!

Hanging with Dad before the game!

Carter still loves baths! But hates getting dressed afterwards! He hates to get his diaper changed... he used to be so good about it! He loves to click his tongue! He loves to hear his voice! He LOVES food! Especially treats! He is very good at throwing tantrums in fact sometimes we try to get him to throw one just because it gives us a good laugh! He still loves Moms hair and I think I am losing it! He claps! Waves Hi and Bye!

Family Pic!

Loves the music and wearing uncle Isaac's headphones!

Carter wouldn't let me get him ready after his bath... he would much rather be naked and watching Dad play XBox! Cute naked kid... isn't he!

Chillin' on his couch with his pillow pet!

Driving Lightin' McQueen!

Loves stroller rides!

Loves listenin' to Party Rock!

About to climb the stairs!

Watching sports with Dad!

We got Carter out of his crib after his nap! He apparently was laying on his binkie and he got a binkie mark! Funny!

Loves getting into the cupboards and pulling everything out!

Cruisin' outside!

Loves the stairs!

Dad! Stop getting me!

Wasn't quite awake for this bath and he stuck a letter in his mouth and kept it there the whole time!

See whats not to love! We LOVE ya little man!

Sledding Fun!

So we have been sledding on 2 different occasions! Once pulling the kids around Grandma Jones' backyard! As you can tell it was warm outside with McKay in shorts!

McKay pulling Carter around... Carter loved it!

Brett pulling Easton and Quinny!

Kayden and Quinny!

A couple days later we went to a real sledding hill! we had Grandma J., Brett, Kim, Quinnlyn, Avery, Easton, Kayden, Treyson, McKay, Carter and I! We had a blast! It was a really HOT day and we so overdressed!

Carter and McKay ready to head up the hill!

So this hill was huge and we only went maybe 1/3 of the way up... and we would get going pretty fast! Well McKay decided to hike 2/3 the way up and he was FLYING! I thought he was going to get hurt and he just about did!

McKay FLYING!

Easton was ready for a nap!

...and so was Carter! So we headed home but we sure need to do that again! It was awesome!
