Halloween

Karter was a cute lil dinosaur for Halloween. We had Ash and Damian with us, which was alot of fun! We got to go to my Gramma's house for Chili and it was SO yummy!! Overall it was a GREAT Halloween!.. Here are some pics!

Last but not least.. Here is a picture of Karter in his undies.. Potty training did not work out so well so I think we will be waiting til after his 3rd birthday.. Yes I said 3rd birthday.. How sad!! LOL

VEGAS!!

So this past weekend My really good friends and I went to Vegas AGAIN.. I know its a little much but we LOVE our Jamie Foxx and had to go see him!! He performed at Ceasers Palace and every single dollar spent was SO worth it!! LOL!! I can't get over how well he does in concerts and how much I really do enjoy his music.. While we were there we had alot of fun going shopping, eating great food, and going dancing.. One of Monica's friends was nice enough to take us ALL around and let me drive his Mercedes!! Oh it was SWEET.. It was a good get a way BUT I sure did miss my lil Karter!! I went to go buy a toy for him as a surprise and started balling once I saw all the Spiderman things.. HAHA! I was so excited to see him when I got home, and he was also! We are doing great and loving every minute of life!

The MAN himself.. We were on the 12th row dead center! He made eye contact with us MULTIPLE times!! haha!! Then we got to go up to the stage and ALOMST touched him.. ONE DAY! LOL!

Us at the Concert.. Alisha, Monica, & Me!

Us on the strip with a guy that looked SO Much like Johnny Dep in that Costume!My lil Man with his crazy hair! My gramma wants me to chop it but I can do it! Don't ya just love his cheese ball smile? haha!

I dont want summer to end!

I could seriously live somewhere, where its summer all year round! As long as it snows on Christmas! Can someone tell me where that is?! hahaha! Here are some pics from the last of this summer!

Karter, Peyton, and Carson @ the Zoo!

Karter did mini Cheer at Hunter again this year.. He ended up at the end of the performance running off the field and looking for me.. haha! At least he tried ;) Just one night out with my Fave Girls! :)

FUN weekend!

Well this weekend was a CRAZY weekend! Karter and I had a blast though. We started off with Friday and went to Lagoon with some of my best friends, and sister's! Despite my wallet getting taken, of course my luck, Karter LOVED the rides. He is SO brave, sometimes to brave. He wanted to go the Wicked with me but of course he is WAY to tiny.. LOL! Saturday I got to go to Raging Waters with some more of my best friends.. My wonderful Mom watch Karter for me while I got to go! I love all the slides there.. Its so much fun! At the end the lifeguard let us a do a chain with our tubes, well we learned WHY it says NO chains.. haha Alisha ended up on the bottom of all of us on the way down, I got knee'd in the head, and also knee'd Chris's head.. It was TOO much fun though! Then after that Karter and I got to go visit my Grandpa Tai (my dad Sam's father). This was really awesome.. I haven't seen that grandpa in over 5 years.. He had never seen Karter either.. He was amazed, as all the others, at how big Karter was and how much he looks like me... I also got to see my Uncle Lolo and Aunt Ofa, I hadn't seen them in over 3 years.. Looking back at that makes me realize how happy I am to have such a close family, and how important it is to have family so close! I get to enjoy my mom's side of the family alot, for basically evey holiday or any aunt/uncles bday's.. I love having my family around and want my family to be just the same..

Here are some pictures from my nephew's *Keon* bday:

WOW its been a while!

So it has been a while since I blogged! LOL.. Karter and I haven't been up too much, just hanging out and enjoying the summer sun! I am officially banned from Facebook so it looks like I will be doing some blogging instead.. haha! Karter is getting SO big and talking SO much.. It amazes me on how they can pick up on things so well.. Right now his current addiction is watching Finding Nemo and always wanting to go swimming.. I have been currently just working my eyes out at my job that is so insanely busy! Keeping busy by hanging out with friends and family.. Like I said I will be blogging more but here are some cute pics from our summer ;)

Memorial Day weekend!

The best weekend ever! I got to hang out with Karter and my girls alot because I had a 4 day weekend.. On Monday we had a great get together like always at my grams, then I got to go and enjoy myself at the NO DOUBT concert! Let me tell you I had the time of my life! LOL they were really awesome and i just love Gwen! We got to sing little Kingston Happy Bday too! LOVE NO DOUBT! Karter playing with his cute cousins!
NO DOUBT

Gwen and Kingston!

Back at work.. BOO!

So I am back at work today.. I am so glad to be able to come back to work because I was getting pretty bored at home.. But then again I just don't like the fact of 'work' lol! I recovered very well from surgery, still pretty sore but thats expected.. I am so thankful to my wonderful family and friends that helped me out.. Especially my mom, gramma, and gramps that had to basically take care of Karter and I the first week! During the last 2 weeks I did like the fact of getting to spend so much time with Karter.. He is getting so big and talking so much that its amazing! His new things he likes to say is 'c'mon' and when you call his name he says 'what' with such attitude, but its so cute! He also is putting sentences together which makes him sound like such a BIG boy..

Not to long ago we went to the Aquariam so I thought I would post those pictures of him.. He loved the fishes which he calls 'fibies'.. So cute!

Easter and Stuff!

Well it has been a while since I blogged last but we have been quite busy! Over this last weekend we went to Jumpin Jacks and had SO much fun.. Karter had the funniest faces going down the slides but then was laughing so hard once he was down.. We are doing really well and he is definitely 2 years old ;)

Easter was a ton of fun! My mom, grandparents, Karter and I went to a Easter Egg hunt out at the West Valley rec center.. It was ALOT of fun.. Karter was scared of the Easter bunny but got to see a doggie! Easter day was great.. He got up and got his stuff from the bunny then we went to church at my mom's ward.. Karter looked like a STUD thats for sure! Such studs!

SLEEPING!

So I took these pics right before we went to Hawaii.. Karter is now sleeping in his big boy bed.. Granted I do have to lay down with him for him to fall asleep but he is in his bed all thru the night after that.. He has only woken up a couple of times wanting me BUT overall he is doing a great job.. He is growing up so fast its crazy!!

Here are some more I took in Hawaii.. I just love to watch him sleep!

******* BTW I did get a camera right before I went to Hawaii, its a CASIO and I really like it! THANK YOU AGAIN so much to you that helped me get it.. I don't know how to thank you more other than trying to be more like you!! :) **********

Hawaii

We are back from the lovely Island of Kauai.. We miss it already, especially our Poppa! Karter was such a good boy on the 5 hour airplane ride.. We let him watch a bunch of movies and had snacks for him.. I was amazed at how well he actually did for being 2 and wild ;). We got there and literally sat on the beach everyday.. I loved to be able to relax and Karter loved the sand.. When we got home he said " mommy mommy mommy i go beach?" and I just had to say not today Karter.. He is learning how to talk so well, as much as a 2 year old can, and loves Scooby Doo at the moment.. He still has that binky of his and I am hoping we can get rid of it soon.. We are still loving our little place and slowly making it feel like home.. Here are some pics from Hawaii, I couldn't post all of them because there are way to many!

I guess I am totally retarded but I could NOT for the life of me figure out how to post a slide show on this blog.. haha! So to see the slide show of it you have to scroll down to the bottom of the page.. LOL!!

Busy Busy!

Well Karter and I have been a very busy little couple! :) We are doing so well at our new place and absolutely love it! I still have not found a camera that I really like, or the ones that I really like are no longer in stock.. SO I am still camera less because I don't want to settle for something I 'kinda' like.. I do have to get one though before Karter and my family go to Hawaii.. We will be leaving on March 6th! I am so excited for that.. Here are some pictures from some recent events! I got Karter a new dresser and built it.. Of course I wouldn't have been able to do it with out Adiel or Lauren, lets just say I was doing lefty loosey when I should have been doing righty tighty! Thank goodness they were there to help my crazy head! haha.. We decorated Valentine Cookies the Wednesday before Valentines and had so much fun.. Karter had made a special cookie for his Grammy but I forgot to snap a pic of it! All in all we have been doing really well, we can't wait for my good friend Ash to come in to town and of course HAWAII!

I love this lil guy!

He was so EXHAUSTED!

I DID IT!

Well I finally did it.. I MOVED OUT of my mom's house.. I know this will shock alot of people but it was a really quick decision.. I moved out to a great basement apartment! I absolutely love it.. I have my own room and so does Karter now! There is a great full kitchen, bathroom and 3 bedrooms.. I moved out with a friend that I have known for quite sometime named Adiel and I think its going to be so much fun! The house is owned by 2 of my really good friends, Fermin and Lauren, that I have known for quite sometime also.. Its going to be a really great start for Karter and I.. He is just trying to get used to it I think, he for sure didn't want to leave his Grammy.. I am going to miss my crazy family like crazy and its going to be a BIG adjustment to the quietness.. Thank you SO much to my great little sister Kylee and her friend Athina for helping me get everything moved, they were so helpful.. As well as my Brothers, esp Sione! He is so great for being such a great little/bigger brother.. I do have to say what an amazing family I have in supporting me with such a quick decision.. I appreciate each and every one of you..

ALSO SUCH a great thing happened.. I will be able to post pictures soon as an anonymous donor gave me money to get a new camera.. Words can not express how I feel about this person (i am going to call the person it because i dont want to tell who it is).. This person amazes me at its ability to try and make everyone happy.. I hope to be like it in so many ways as I look up to it so much.. I feel bad saying it like I don't know what it is but its better this way :)

Update!

Lately Karter and I have not been up to too much. Ever since my car got broken into I really haven't done to much with the going out with my friends thing.. BUT we have been having great little get togethers over at my good friend Lauren and Fermin's house! This last Saturday we had finger foods and played a little apples to apples! I love going over there to just hang out and Karter LOVES their little girl Jaslene.. He helps her with her "BB" (binky) and gives her toys.. I wish I had pictures to post but I still haven't gotten a new camera.. Hopefully sometime soon when a good deal comes up!

I did have to post these pictures of Karter and his cute little cousin Garrett.. Sami did a great job like always! These were taken umm about a month or 2 ago.. Right after Thanksgiving.. They are so cute together and had a lot of fun with the pictures.. This reminds me of how much fun my cute cousin Nicole and I used to have when we were little.. We were inseparable even though she lived clear in Idaho! We used to hide her in the closets when they would come down to visit.. We thought that if they couldn't find her they would just forget about her.. BUT they always found us wherever we would hide! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KARTER!*on 01/11/09*

So my baby boy turned 2 on January 11th. I can't believe that he is already this old. The saying is true that time flies when you are having fun. I love my lil man so much! He is starting to talk so much it amazes me. He has learned some really bad words but HOPEFULLY we will get past that. He had such an awesome birthday and I am so thankful to everyone that came. I love the family and friends that support us! He had an absolute blast and got so many cool toys. Here are some pics that people caught of the great day as I don't have a camera :( I am sure there will be more to come!
