Carter's 1st Birthday
I'm a little late in getting this post up. Carter turned 1 years old on August 20th. He had a great day. It got started with one birthday waffle and candle. Then it was time for his television debut on Good Things Utah. Then that night he had his first backyard birthday bash. He had some grandparents, all great grandparents, and Uncle Beau, Aunt Nicole, and Auntie Elva there . He had his very own cake and was allowed to go at it. However, he just discovered a fork for the first time and was determined to use that instead of hands. So, he didn't get very messy...which I guess is a good thing? The messy cake pics are good for the old scrapbook though. He enjoyed opening up presents and playing with new toys. One thing he didn't like was his birthday hat...we could barely get him to keep in on long enough to snap a couple of pics. All in all it was a great day. We're so happy to have Carter as a part of our family. He brings so much joy and happiness into our lives. Here are some of the milestones that Carter reached during the last 13 1/2 months. He started rolling over both ways just a few days shy of 7 mos. He also started sitting up unassisted at 7 mos, but was a pro by 7 1/2 mos. He didn't start doing the army crawl thing until about 10 mos. He did this forever it seemed. I thought he wasn't going to ever really crawl. But he finally did start to crawl at around 11 mos. Then he didn't even start to try to walk for a long time. At about 13 mos he started walking around the furniture. He was kind of chicken and didn't dare try it on his own. Then on Sunday, September 27th he took his first steps by himself at church. Throughout the next week he really started picking it up. He got braver and braver, and by the following Sunday (13 1/2 mos) he was walking long distances all by himself!! He is doing very well and soon will be cruising all over the house. He already knows how to open the doors around the house too. He is suddenly growing so fast. In some ways he still seems like a baby because he LOVES his bottle and his binky. But that's ok...he can stay my baby for as long as he wants!! We love ya Carter, aka Boopsy Boo! Shh don't tell Dad, he hates that nickname.

Fall Photo Shoot
I had a little photo weekend with the boys. First we got their pics taken at JC Penny's, just in case mine didn't turn out. Then I took them around the Valley for some more. At the time it seemed like things weren't working out very well, but in hind sight I think we did pretty good. I know a lot has to do with our new Macintosh computer that we've wanted for a really long time. It has a pretty good photo editing program, a basic one, but that's good enough for me right now. Now I just need to get some printed out and displayed. I love taking pictures and editing them, but the process usually stops there because now I do all my scrap booking via photo books on the internet and therefore don't really print them out anymore. But I'd like some bigger prints for around the house. Well, hopefully I can keep improving and learning more photo techniques!

UBIC Parade
I was in the UBIC parade this year. I haven't been in a parade in a long time...but it's not what you think. Actually "A Piece of Cake Weddings and Events" my company, was in the parade. It was really cute. I had a convertible car that I borrowed from my neighbors family's car dealership. I had my advertising car magnets on the doors and then decorated it as a just married car. Then my darling little neighbor girl wore my wedding dress and veil. Her boyfriend wore a vintage blue tuxedo t-shirt and top hat and they drove the car while playing some fun wedding songs...(Chapel of Love, etc). Unfortunately the crowd couldn't hear the music...too bad because it was a nice touch. Then following behind the wedding car was myself driving a golf cart, also decorated with advertising signs and wedding bells, etc. I was carrying coolers of Otter Pops. I had four of my sweet little Achievement Day girls help me out by passing out the Popsicle's and also paper fans with my logo and information. In theory it was really cute and in reality it was kind of cute. The little girls were in matching dresses and had floral wreaths in their hair to emulate flower girls. They carried baskets full of the fans and Popsicle's and walked along side the golf cart and passed them out to the crowds. We ran out of stuff and got way behind our convertible car and were pretty much holding up the whole parade...but other than that it went well. I think it at least got our name out there and some awareness. And you know how the saying goes...bad publicity is better than no publicity. So even though we may be remembered as that disorganized wedding place that was holding up the parade...at least we'll be remembered!

Wild West Cuties!
We entered Maddix & Carter in the UBIC baby show. The theme was Wild West Cuties, so they needed to dress up in Cowboy or Native American attire. Needless to say, they didn't win anything (you only win if you were in cahoots with one of the judges) but they looked absolutely darling and did really well. I don't need someone else to tell me that they are the cutest kids in the whole darn town...in my eyes they are!
