Snow Day

Carter had a blast in the snow....Ellyson was bummed out that she couldn't go out there!

Dr. Carter

Unfortunately my mom has been very sick this week (please keep her in your prayers, Kidney infection they think) so I have made several trips to the doctors office. Last Friday Carter was with me and he was totally adorable as we waited. The nurse gave him all sorts of neat "doctor supplies" to keep him busy and boy did they ever. Here is a little glimps of my check-up from Dr. Carter

Carter: "What seems to be the problem with you?"
Mom: "Well I can't stop laughing."
Carter: "Ok, let me check your heart." (then he also checked my mouth and arm, etc...)

Next my condition was
Mom: "My hair is turning purple"
and then it was
Mom: "My foot is too wiggly"

After each symptom description he had to put on his gloves and check my mouth, then heart, then head, then foot. He was too cute as he asked me questions in a deep sounding voice (I guess that is what he thinks doctors sound like).

Diagnose: A bad case of the SILLY

My sweet new niece

Just Do It - Camo Style

Skyler (my niece) got Ellyson this darling Nike outfit...what a little cutie! Today both Carter and Elly were chilling in their camo outfits.

Church Christmas Party

Last night us girls went to a ladies Christmas party. It was so much fun. It was a black & white affair...look how cute we are!

Maezie Joy Goodman

Welcome Maezie!

She arrived on December 2, 2008 at 10:22pm - weighing in at 8lbs. 15oz and 20.5 inches long. Mandi had a c-section because Maezie was a little big and not moving out too quickly, but she is a healthy little girl and after giving mom a very long day they are both doing well! Josh was a great support for Mandi and beamed from ear to ear when he got to hold his new precious little girl. We are all very impressed with her beautiful blond hair, it's almost long enough for piggy tales! The proud daddy is the only one in these pictures cause mom was still in the O.R. I will post more pictures as we get them!

He finally did it!

Carter got a bike last year for Christmas. He was sooo excited, but also afraid to do it on his own (well, actually I think that he was a bit lazy and just wanted a push from daddy). Just last week he finally got and is riding on his own now. NEXT STEP: take the training wheels off. Go, Carter go!

Chocolate is my lover!

This picture says it all.

Please note: YES I do want to be pregnant again some day and YES I do love my husband more than chocolate!!

Playing is hard work

This afternoon Carter was playing in the dining room after lunch. A few minutes had passed I noticed that he got quiet. I called for him and no answer so I assumed that he went downstairs to play. When I went to check on him I found him passed out snoozing on the floor. I have always appreciated the wonderful napper that he is!

2 Months Old!

Wow, is she getting big or what! This is a goofy picture of her taken last week during our visit to see Great Gma and Gpa Goodman in Eugene, Oregon. We had a blast and Ellyson did very well in the car. We stayed a night at my sisters, 2 nights with my grandparents and then wrapped up our little trip with a visit with my best friend Jenny in Vancouver. Just Ellyson and I went, we left the boys at home. - I anticipate many more girls road trips in the future!
