Happy Birthday Carter!!!!!!

Carter turned 8 today! I really can't believe I have a child that old. There are so many new things they get to do when they turn 8. We have shopping for new sunday clothes for his baptism on Dec. 5 and today we got to visit the scout store! I was a little surprised that it cost $65 dollars to buy the scouting necessities! Oh the joys of raising kids! I do love watching my kids get older. It is nice to be able to spend time talking to them and feeling like you are having a real conversation. Carter is a great boy and I am very proud to be his mom!!!! I hope the next 8 years are as good as the last!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARTER!

Grandma's glasses

So we were over at my mom and dad's the other night and my mom was going through her cedar chest that is full of the blankets and pillow cases my grandma had made before she passed away. Amongst the stuff were the glasses that she wore until she didn't know she wore glasses anymore. My mom did not really know what to do with them so she just put them in the chest. Well Grayden found those glasses and decided that would be the momento he would have to remember her by. He has not parted with them since. He even had to wear them to church yesterday. Needless to say, he distracted several of the ward members from watching the primary program. When he is not wearing them he nicely tucks one arm in the neck of his shirt and wears them that way.
