From One Wonderful Event to Another

From the lack of posts, you would think that I have nothing to talk about and that couldn't be farther from the truth! I've just not sat down and taken the time to record all of the fun times that have been had with in the last few months.
To begin, Super Wy was blessed on February 5, 2012 by Spencer. I was amazed and humbled by all the love and support that was shown to us by family and friend that joined us. It was a great day.

I have enjoyed being home with my boys so much that I decided to make it a full time gig! I struggled with the decision to stay home. Could we afford it? Is it a smart decision? I have had a job pretty much since I was 14. The thought of not working terrified my somewhat, however, with much prayer and discussion between Spencer and myself, we know it is the right decision for our little family. We are going forward with faith!

Carter is growing more and more everyday. He is such a joy and a pain in the butt! His vocabulary has exploded. I am constantly amazed at the things that come out of his mouth. He's such a spunky kid who loves everyone! He loves to say 'hello' to anyone that will listen. He is also very polite when we go out and about. He is quick to give a 'thank you' to the person checking us out... especially if a Diet Coke is involved!

He has a recent obsession with "The Muppets". We have the soundtrack practically memorized. I love singing along with him. He is very vocal and knows the difference between forte and pianissimo. Usually it's FORTE!!!

Wyatt is such a sweet baby. He too is discovering his voice and loves to coo. He is just learning to smile and each one melts my heart. He is a happy little fella and such a good sleeper. He generally wakes me up once during the night to feed.

Spencer is working hard with work and school. He is such a good provider for us. I can't express in words how very grateful I am to have him as my husband. We are working together to lose weight that we both have gained over the last few years. I am happy to spend the rest of my days with my best friend.

Happy Birthday Carterman!!

Can you believe that my little man is 3 years old today! Where did the time go? The past three years have been the best of my life. Carter brings such joy to our family!

I recently interviewed the lil dude to see what he was loving these days as a reminder for the future. The following are his answers:

2. What is your favorite color: Red

3. Who is your best friend: Maggie and Mommy

4. Who is your favorite Muppet: Kermit the Frog!

5. Where do you like to visit: Mimi's and Disneyland and nursery

We are so grateful to have such a sweet spirit in our home. We love you little guy!

St. George Mini Trip

Last week we took a little trip to St. George to see Tuacahn's production of "The Little Mermaid". It was Carter's first experience with live theater and he did great! He loved the show and especially enjoyed clapping and cheering after every song. The show itself was okay. I felt like I blinked and missed the big climax. There was a cool water feature used in the show, but I found it difficult to enjoy because I was paranoid and worried for the actors. I was afraid someone would get hurt.

It was fun to spend quality time with my mom and sisters. We spent the day shopping. Wendy wins the award for the most purchased. Oh to be young and have money...

The morning before we left, I was able to attend a session at the St. George temple with Natalie, Scott and Spencer. It was wonderful to feel the strong Spirit and to be able to share the time with them.

Overall it was a fantastic trip and we hope to be able to do it again next year!
