February

New Camera-I finally sold my old camera , which I hated because the batteries died every single time I would even turn it on I swear. & bought a new Canon one that works much better & easy for daily use! I think the kids were just as excited as I was ;)

Buzzed head- Carter decided in the middle of winter that he wanted a shaved head :) He had wanted it shaved in the past, but I wanted to wait til he was a tad bit older {He did kind of look like a cancer patient at first} but then it grew on me, I'm glad he has a normal shaped head & can pull it off! I'm sure we will be shaving it tons more in the future...

Dance- Tenley is still loving dance. She loves to pick out her outfit & get all dressed up!She likes me to stay & watch her. And doesn't want me to just leave her there alone, but luckily they go into a separate room after 15 minutes & I'm able to sneak away without her knowing :)
 
USU B-ball- Justin & I took Carter to a USU basketball game, Tenley stayed with my mom. Carter is very into basketball. He will record games on the DVR & watch them non stop. He cracks us up! He will come into our room early morning & tell us about a game that was like weeks old. love him.  Then the following week, we went again & took Dac & Tay along with us! Tenley is a total grandmas girl & of course didn't want to come this time either, which kind of makes it easier on me :) {{Thanks to Aunt Joy}}

January

Cubs Room- Carter's room by far was the "gloomiest" & bugged me the very worst when we bought our house-It was a hunter green, super dark with an ugly creme/tan ceiling & trim.. So we decided to paint & make it much cuter! He is obsessed with sports, so of course that's what we decided on.

Before

After

Church B-ball- Justin was the church basketball coach again this year. The boys really like Justin & Carter asked daily when practice & the games were. He loved going & keeping score at the vet's game as well. Tenley just liked to go & run around with friends.

High school games- Friday nights we made it a family outing -we would go out to eat, wherever the kids chose (usually Pizza Villa or BK) , go get snacks & drinks at the store & watch Bodee play freshman basketball & then go to the varsity game. The kids always looked forward to it, & Justin & I being the sport lovers we are, looked forwarded to having a family night as well.

Snowman- The kids built this snowman with Justin, we built a few this year but Shadow & Bron would always rip & eat the stuff off of them :)

Stuffies- Winters get super boring & we are always trying to come up with new things to do

Earache- One day I went to pick Carter up from pre-school he was crying (not like him) So I was instantly worried he had gotten into a fight or got his tender heart broken. But as soon as I pulled up I could tell he was in pain. He had gotten a really bad earache with about 10 minutes left of school...Of course it was my car pool day (which was good because I was in town, but also bad because I had Chaz with me) ..We ran Chaz to Brandon & Tenley to grandma & were off to the doctor. Doc B wasn't working that day so we went over to Doc C -In the waiting room (took forever) Carter ended up falling asleep, after crying & being in pain for literally 20 minutes. They gave him medicine & he was out. He ended up just having an ear ache, his ear drum was super swollen. But luckily that was it! Babysitting- Tenley is absolutely obsessed with babies & little kids, she just loves "mothering" them, we babysat our friends little girl Baylee. I sure love babies, but am glad to be able to send them home :)
