FIRST TOOTH!!

Carter has had a loose tooth for quite a while. He has been hoping he would lose it before school was out. There is a lost a tooth club in his class and there are only THREE kids in his class that are not in it....he was dying to get that tooth out!! So yesterday, mothers day, me and Carter were playing and he let me pull the tooth out!!! WAHOO!! It came right out! So Carter thought it was his Mother's Day present for the tooth fairy! He was so excited. So Carter is now in the lost a tooth club at school! He barely made it....8 days were left of school!


So the tooth fairy came to our house last night.....Guess what Carter got???? He got a GOLD DOLLAR COIN! Carter loved it! He is so awesome!

Field Trip to the park

Carters Class had a field Trip to the park! They have been talking about plants the last few weeks, so they were at the park to observe plant life (and for fun). Carter thought it was so fun for Mom and Anna and Gracie to come to the park to eat lunch with him. It was really fun. Anna can make friends so easy she fit right in with all of those Kindergarteners. Gracie and Anna both thought they were big girls with all the other "big kids"! It was a fun day!

Car trouble

Sunday we got in our van to go to church and when we started to drive we were not rolling down the street but we were jumping. It was so not fun. The van had NO power at all and we were all bouncing in our seats! We all got out and scrunched in Chads LITTLE truck! Chad stayed home from work on Monday and we found it was going to be a couple THOUSAND to fix our van!!!! So we called around and we got a NEW VAN!!! YEAH!! It is a 2008 Nissan Quest.

Look real close....see if you can see Anna smiling in this last one

Field trip to the zoo

Today Carter had a field trip to the Wild Life World Zoo. It was so much fun. It was so nice out today! We had so much fun!

Love at first sight....

So I guess I got tagged by my sister Katie, I am supposed to tell you about me and my husband Chad and how we met, how he proposed and all that fun stuff. So we have been married for 7 years, and everything has moved along very fast! We met August 13, 2000, we met at church. He was one of my room mates home Teachers, he came to home teach my room mate but she was out of town. I was making cinnamon rolls and invited him in. We immediately "clicked". I saw him every single day after that. We met August 13th and we got engaged on September 30th, just 43 days later!!!! How did he propose? Well we were going to go for a walk around the Mesa Temple grounds, we both knew that was where we were going to get married. I knew that he was going to ask that night or soon because he had just had "the talk" with my Dad. So We were walking around the temple and we got to this spot and written in the grass with a bunch of rose petals he had written "MARRY ME" I saw it and was like FINALLY. So we got married on February 1, 2001, in the Mesa, AZ temple. We only knew each other for 6 months when we got married!! I guess we did move fast!

I tag Shanda, Corinne, and Marie
