The Infection

Updated:  We'll currently we have an operating computer, but it will need to be replaced soon.  We are running three different malware/spyware programs so it slows the computer down considerably, but it gives us some time to look around for a new computer.



Our computer has been infected with some nasty malware.  Right now, I'm pretty lucky to even be on the internet (I've been going into blogging withdrawls the past 48 hours.)  Until we get a new computer no more posting :(

Ava the snow bunny

My Mom called today asking if Ava came to our little weekend getaway.

Of course she was!  I took so many pictures (over 500) so I've only been posting a couple each day.  So without further adieu, here's some pictures of our little snow bunny.

Grandma holding Ava.

Every time I went sledding with Carter and Ava saw me going down the hill, she would get upset and start fussing.  She didn't do this for anyone else, just her mommy.

That grandbo is super cuddly too.

A little preview

Just a little taste from September 24, 2010.

Uncle Jason and Aunt Tiffany are having a cowboy themed rehearsal dinner before their wedding.

This little boy is ready to rock it.  I guess cowboys don't say that, so Yee Haw!  Carter is looking mighty fine. 

Don't be too jealous.

The Law

The face of the law.

Rule 1:  Give me my treats and no one gets hurt.

Rule 2:  It's always a good time to play with cars.

Rule 3:  Faces this adorable should be against the law.

brotherly love

Here are some more pictures from our weekend gateway at Chalet Shadle.

The theme:  brotherly love

Ok, which one is Dumbledore and which one is Voldemort?

Jason getting slammed into the snow.

Another picture of Jason getting beat up.

Really Mike, again?

You can't say anything next time Carter gets a little rough with his sister.

Two and a half years old

Carter Owen,

     Today you are two and a half years old.  It has been so fun to watch you learn and grow.  You have an amazing personality and love life.  You love to laugh and joke and I hope you have your Daddy's sense of humor.  You love being around other kids and interacting with them.  You are a protector of your little sister and can make her laugh and giggle like no one else.  Here are some of your favorites right now:

• Cars and trucks, trains and planes
• your drum
• your favorite movies:  Cars and Veggie Tales
• favorite clothes:  football jersey shirt and pajama pants
• you like to play grocery store, pretend to be an airplane, and play in the snow
• your favorite foods are burgers (cheese and ketchup on a bun) grapes, milk, raisins, cheese, pizza
• your favorite treats are cookies, cake, mints and gum

You are talking up a storm right now and saying new words every day.  Most of your phrases are 2-3 words.  You are counting to 14 independently, know all your shapes except for square and can identify 14 upper case letters.  Just recently you started broad jumping (jumping over an object, forward about 6 inches) and you love to do it.  Your biggest accomplishment recently is potty training.  We are still working on number two but you are doing awesome.  Lately napping has not been your favorite thing to do even when you really need it. 

Carter, Mommy and Daddy love you through and through from here to the moon.  Happy un-birthday to you!

Over the river

Well we made it "over the river and through the woods."  We arrived at Grandmother's house. 

And now, we sled.

Carter and Ava have enjoyed being spoiled immensely. 

Someone tried to bake us alive this weekend by turning up the thermostate to 85 degrees.

We celebrated Grandma and Bo's birthdays.

Family.  Lots of fun and love.  Laughter.

I love weekends like this.
