Let it snow Let it snow Let it snow

We haven't had much snow this year so when we got a few inches we bundled Carter up to go and play in it.  He loved it and was not happy when it was time to come in!

Rose Bowl

The Oregon Ducks played in the Rose Bowl on January 2nd.  It was a great game to watch and the ducks beat Wisconsin 45-38.  Carter loves watching football and got really into the game.

December

All I have to say about this picture is Carter went to spend some time with Grandpa and this is how he came back...

 We went to Maggie performance and Carter was really into the "stage" he wanted to get up there but mostly he just ran around.

Kennedie rode with us and surprised Maggie, then we went to Olive Garden for dinner.  The kids were really good, it was fun.

On the 23rd the whole family headed up to the North Pole polar express.  The kids loved it!

Is that Santa? He was so excited

We had to pay $12 for this picture but I thought it was worth it.  (As long as you ignore the stalker in the background)

On Christmas morning we opened presents and then got ready for church.  They combined 3 wards and my dad was speaking so we went as a family. Carter was really excited to see all his cousins but that wore off about 30 minutes in...luckily Ben took him and Isaac to the nursery so we could enjoy the meeting.

His favorite gift by far...Horse.

This sums up the chaos Grandma and Grandpa's.  We spent the rest of the day with the family.

Playing on Maggie and Sophies Christmas present

We spent New Years Eve at Lawtons.  It was a lot of fun just eating and playing games

2011 was a great year and we are looking forward to what 2012 brings!!

November

November was a crazy month I had to travel the first week of the month for work, then Nate had a bone spur on his heel removed.... and then we headed back to Oregon on the 17th for Thanksgiving.  

Carter helping Uncle Jeff rake leaves

Nate and Todd went to the Oregon vs. USC game.  The "wives" surprised them with tickets, I think they were pretty happy.  Unfortunately the ducks lost in OT. 

Watching the game at home with Mom

I told Nate that since he got to go to the game without me he had to have someone get a picture of them.

While we were in Oregon I took some pictures of Nates cousin and her fiance Martin and Carter wanted in...

I think he is pretty cute.  Aren't the leaves so pretty?  That's Oregon for you.

We went to Newport for Thanksgiving.  We stayed at a hotel the night before so there could be room for everyone at Aunt Carrie's and Carter loved the balcony.  We fed the seagulls the rest of our pancakes
