It's August already???

What a busy month it has been!! Jason's brother, Jamie moved into their new home so on July 24th (also Jamie's birthday) we went and spent the day with them. They built a GORGEOUS home up against the mountains and we spent the day out by the pool. Good thing Carter loves the pool! Here is Carter with his cousin Tori. He is such a good baby! He doesn't care who holds him as long as he is getting attention

The pool has a very shallow area that Carter was able to sit and spash in. There is also a very large umbrella to keep him shadded.

Here is Carter with one of his other cousins--Elle.

Than the next weekend was my birthday! I got SPOILED!!! Jason got me a new ipod touch. I am still trying to figure out everything it can do! My grandma got me a beautiful diamond mom and baby necklace. My parents got me a gift card to get some new shoes for my upcoming 1/2 marathon and than I got several itunes gift cards and a gift certificate for a pedicure which will come in very handy! Thanks everyone for an amazing birthday!! We went to dinner at Johnny Carino's to celebrate and of course my camera was dead so no photos. Than we went to Jeff and Alyssa's for cake and ice cream. Thanks again Alyssa for the cake--that was sooo thoughtful.

Than on Saturday (the 31st) we decided to take Carter for his first camping experience in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Except the weather didn't want to cooperate and it rained on us! So we had to sit in the tent for awhile and play some phase 10. Carter did great and even slept the whole night!!!
