Toy Story 3 On Ice

Justin & I decided to take Carter to Toy Story 3 on Ice last minute (3/10/12). We took him to Mickey Mouse on Ice last year but sat up high, so it wasn't too exciting & hard to keep him entertained at age 2. But this year, Justin's boss was kind enough to buy our tickets, so we got front row!! It was fun being so close, it definitely makes a huge difference...Carter got all dressed up in his Buzz outfit, he was so anxious for the show to get started! We stopped in Bountiful on the way down for Justin to try & win the "solo cup stack off" for a trip to Tennessee (since he won Toby Keith tickets for us in June) But he didn't end up winning the trip, dang it! My mom babysat Tenley since she is a little too a.d.d. :) she can't sit still for longer than 2 minutes, literally, she is a handful to take anywhere! It was so cute because when the barbies came out, Carter told me to take lots of pictures- so he could show Tenley :)! What a sweetheart. The show was really cute & its fun to have some alone time with just Cub, he deserves it!!!
memo: (we usually just carry Carter into events so we don't have to buy him his own ticket because half the time he sits on the stairs or wants to sit on our laps anyways, well we forgot to carry him in & the guy at the door told us we needed to buy another ticket, 1st how would we get him a ticket by us the day of the show & 2nd the guy didn't even know if it was 2 & under or 3, so we just went out & went threw a different door-sorry our kid looks like a 5 year old, he really is just 3!)

1st Wrestling Match

We took Carter to his first wrestling match up in Grace (3/9/12). I'll admit it, Justin & I were both a little nervous because about 70% of the kids his age that wrestle end up just crying -before, during, & after their matches. We invited Grandma & Grandpa's - everyone was so anxious to see his first match. He was too cute & couldn't wait to get there & weigh in...He weighed in at 43 lbs.Waiting for his match-- Justin is such a great dad & "coach"... always there for him when he needs it & encouraging him! He ended up wrestling two kindergartners- 5 & 6 year olds! He was so tough, didn't cry one time, & he gets so mad, he even grunts , its the cutest thing!!Posing with the Grace Grizzly Bear! He cried at his first practice this year, but now he loves everything about wrestling *besides when the kids choke him* & has done a total 180 since day one!! He says he wants to go to some more matches so he can win more medals! :) That'a boy!!! We're so proud of you! Your one tough kiddo- we love you Cub!!!

Valentine's Day!

Carter had pre-school on Valentine's which made it kind of fun for him to take Valentine's (gold fish) & pass them out, even though I don't think the kids quite understand Valentine's yet , its more just another day of treats & toys :) I WON Lady Antebellum tickets the week before Valentine's, so Justin & I got a room & spent the day in Salt Lake. Lady Antebellum was so romantic for a Valentine's date! Thompson Square & Darius Rucker opened for them. Darius Rucker was a very good entertainer, & we had already seen Thompson Square before. Justin & I usually just chill on Valentine's & don't make a huge deal of it, so it was fun to get out & be together just us! It has been 9 years since we met. Justin's parents watched the kids & his mom came into our house with the kids & spent the night with them here. *makes it easier with Tenley & her having her own bed* Such a great concert & amazing night~ I'm happy to have the husband I do! Happy Valentine's!!!
