Fathers Day

I am dedicating this post to all the fathers in my in my life.

My Dad!  He is wonderful and my kids absolutely adores him!  He was always the quiet one but I never wanted to disappoint my dad.  Now that I'm older I love to talk with him and he is always ready to share what he has learned from his experiences.  He has always been a priesthood holder and is was so comforting to know he was there.
 
My hubby!  Oh how I love and need this man.  He works so hard and fights through so many trials.  He is my rock and always reels me in when I'm close to the edge.  He is a wonderful, amazing dad!  Kayla is all about dad and wants to do everything with him.  He is a worthy priesthood holder and for that I am so grateful!  He is there to keep us centered in the church.   

 
So happy Father's Day all!

Camping

So we went camping this past weekend and it was Carter's first time!  It was nice during the day but oh so cold at night.  The kids were warm so that was great.   
Carter is an outdoor lover so this was fun for him and he spent a lot of the time on the grass.  So we were invited to go camping with one of Graydon's coworker.  They have a membership to camperworld.  Well this campground had a pool! 

 
This was Carter's first time going swimming too and he loves it!  He always splashes up a storm in the tub so being in a pool was great.

 
Kayla loved LOVED camping!  She is already asking to go back.  I don't know if it's because she can get as dirty as possible or if it's because she gets to be outside all day.  She would just run around all day.  There was a playground in the middle of the campground and she made quite a few friends while we were there.

 
This picture Kayla actually took of Daddy getting into the cooler.




 
We had a great time but were ready to come home after two nights. 

Carter is 7 months old!!!


 
Oh how the time has flown by and Carter is now 7 months old! He is a happy boy!  He loves to play sitting up but is getting really good at rolling around.  He has started to get frustrated with not being able to crawl.  He sees something and tries to get it but ends up going backwards. 

He is also loving finger foods.  He has had cheerios and puffs.  He loves being able to feed himself!  It helps to distract him so I can eat my food without him trying to grab it.  He is such a fun boy and loves to play with Kayla.

Since we don't go to the doctor this month I weighed him myself he's a big boy weighing a whole 19lbs!  Also we are about 2 months away from Carter's surgery for his cleft palate.  I'm starting to get really anxious but looking forward to having it over and done with.
