quick update

It has been another busy two months filled with lots of travel and not a lot of photos. First thing first, Carter turned 13 months! Shortly after Mr. Man got really sick so I took him to the pediatrician and turns out he had a double eye and double ear infection and the stomach flu! Poor guy!!! The only good thing was he LOVED cuddling!

For the super bowl, we had some friends over. This was the only football looking shirt. Too bad it wasn't in either teams colors. I think my favorite commercial was the e-trade baby commercial with the taylor and the dorotios commercial where the guy licks the other guy's fingers.
While we were all watching the game, Carter was able to reach the chips on top of the table and pull the whole bag down. Here is the end result!!

Daddy and his boy watching the game!!

Not much else happened that month besides Carter turning another month old! On that day Daycare called because he had "boogers" in his eyes again so I thought we would have a quick trip to the dr's office, get some antibotics again, and be on our way home. Turned out Mr. Man had a pretty severe case of RSV and we didn't even know it. The pediatrician commented on how tough of a kid he was because he was running circles in the doctor's office. Let's hope we can stay sickness free for a least the next month!!

We actually celebrated Valentines Day on the 13th since we both had to work on Monday. We had our traditional take out (this year from Cheesecake Factory) and chocolate covered strawberries. This year we added a homemade chocolate chip cookie for fun! No gifts this year. We are going to go to San Fran for a week in May instead. Plus we are both horrible about getting each other gifts since we both buy stuff we want for ourselves. I did get Carter a Spot Zoobie. He LOVES the book and opening all the flaps. The Zoobie (which is a stuffed animal, blanket, pillow in one) not so much of a hit. Maybe next year....








The Wednesday following Valentine's Day, my mom called advising me that my grandpa had taken a turn for the worse and he passed away Thursday morning. He had battled a horrible disease of alzhimers for more than 15 years. So Jason, Carter, and I headed down to St. George on Friday morning. Carter even got to meet his Aunt Mindi for the first time

Carter loved all the attention he got all weekend long. He thoroughly enjoyed playing with everyone, especially my parents dog Missy. Missy on the other hand did not enjoy Carter as much.
On Saturday morning we all got to say goodbye to Grandpa after he was dressed in his temple clothing. I had never done that before. It was a very calming experience and I could tell that my grandpa was there with us and was reassured that he was at peace and was happy where he was. He now has his mind back and gets to play with all the children in heaven. My grandpa always loved children. Wherever we would go he would always talk to the little kids. He looked more like the man I remember from when I was a little girl. I will miss you grandpa and look forward to the day that I get to see you again! Please don't come asking for grandma yet...
Here we all are at grandma's before the graveside service. It rained the whole day!! Sorry I couldn't crop and zoom the photo in blogger...
