Friday night we decided to stay home and decorate our tree. We had a great time. Every year my mom has gotten me a new ornament. Chris got his first one 2 years ago and Carter will get his first one this year. So my tree may not match but it has alot of memories.
Thanksgiving was a great day. For the first time in 8 years I had Thanksgiving with Tabitha and her family. We spent the day with my family and the evening with Chris's Family. We had a great time with each family. Played games and had great food.
On Monday Mel, Tabs and all the kids decided it was time to see T-Rex. So we made the trip to Thanksgiving point and had ourself an adventure.
Carter is 6 mos old today. We are so excited to be this age. I love having a baby but I can not wait for him to keep getting bigger. I get so excited when he learns something and he is so much fun now , so I think as he keeps getting older he will be even more fun.
blown a tire on the freeway? Well today I did and it was so terrifying. The worst part about it is that I was in the construction zone passed 106th S and there is no where to pull of to the side for assistence, You would think that people pay attention to a stopped car in the lane but some do not and that makes it scarey. A nice man from UDOT cam behind me and called Highway patrol to come direct traffic away from me and on top of that we have highway assistance.( I was waiting on a tow truck, needless to say they were not please when I called them and told them not to come. )I had no idea what that was, well for those of you that do not know, if you dial *11 on your cell they will send a truck that will help fix your car, change your tire or anything else if they can't do it then they get you a tow truck. SO this little helper is free, my tax dollars pay for it. Glad they go somewhere that benefits me. SO today I was grateful to UHP and their tango team, as he called it. I am also grateful that Chris's boss let him leave work to help me. When I met chris at the next exit we learned that our donut was flat, good thing we where in a shopping center with a discount tire. An hour and a half later I arrive home with 2 new tires, a sleeping baby and a head ache from crying. Some may have not cried but I was scared and clueless. I know am going to learn to change a tire and dial *11 if something like this happens again. Hopefully this will help if not make a good little chuckle.
I have had a group of friends since I got home from my mission which has been almost 7 years. We have spent every birthday together and so many more events. Our favorite thing to do it get together and eat. Sometimes we eat at restaurants and the other times we get together at someones house. Mark was not there and either was John and Angie, we missed them.
On 11-5-09 Chris was going to the Jazz vs Spurs game with his work. He was really excited because they had a suite for them. He found out that they had extra tickets for spouses so Grandma Rass said she would watch Carter and we were off. It was probably the coolest thing in the world. I mean I really don't care for basketball, I don't mind going because I understand it and when your this close with your own personal chef it is even better.
This is how my sleeps or puts himself to sleep and the other is just because I can.
Happy Halloween!! Saturday was not that big of a day for us. Maybe when he is a little older this will be a bigger deal. We had lunch with Chris's Family- Lynzie, Marq, Emily, Randy, Kae and Bob. Then we went to the Utes vs. Wyoming game. Carter went to my mom's house. He usually loves to be at my mom's but he didn't tonight. He was so upset he just cried and cried so after half time when I called to check in, I could not stay knowing he was so upset. So I was going to leave but Chris, Angie and John were sweet enough to come with me. We got there and everything was fine. He calmed down while we were on our way.
Yesterday we went to my mom's office and the kids trick or treated thru the office. Carter did great and we had a great time. Then we went over to Chris's dad's office.
We got this hat from Melanie and Carter loves it. He loves any hat or hoodie which is great. Here are a few pics.
