Hello All,

We have had a busy couple of weeks.  Two fridays ago we started the weekend with a trip to the Draper Day's rodeo with our friends Brandee, Joey (wild thing - if you remember from our wedding) and their daughter Chaselynn.   Kelton was with us and he and Chaselynn had a great time watching the horses and eating snowcones.  At one point a bull jumped the fence directly across from us.  Luckily, he had already be lassoed once so he didn't run up into the bleachers.  After that scary situations, it took all of my will power not to pack up Carter and Kelton and tell Josh we would meet him in the car!  I was a nervous wreck the rest of the time!  Carter loved the rodeo - or maybe it was the fact that Brandee cuddled him the entire time.  

Saturday we watched Eric and Aimee compete in their triathlon.  They did great and it was fun to watch.  Like I said on a previous post, Kelton kept us updated on Carter's sleeping situation then entire way up there.  

I am sure we had some exciting "firsts" during the week, but I cannot remember them.   Josh had to work out of town for a few days last week so Lana stayed with us.  Carter was spoiled - I am pretty sure she only put him down twice.  Which was great until she left and Carter still thought he needed to be cuddled all day.  :)  

Friday, my friend Kendra and her boyfriend Tracey were in town for the George Strait concert.  Carter and I met them for lunch.  It was great to catch up with the two of them and they think Carter is very cute.  Friday night, Josh and I went to the George Strait concert and Lana babysat.  George is amazingly handsome and a pretty great singer as well.   I was pretty nervous about leaving the little guy.  I am sure Lana thinks I am crazy, because I was giving her instructions on how to care for him.  She has been a Mom for 29 years and I have been one for 5 weeks, yet I am instructing her.  I know it isn't logical but I couldn't help myself.  We only called and checked in once (about 99 times fewer than I wanted to!).   Everything went well and I am pretty sure Carter didn't even know we were gone.  

Josh's sister Mardee flew in from Denver on Saturday.  We had a good time, she spoiled Carter and constantly had him laughing.  During her stay we picnicked at the park, bbq'd and played games.  Mardee stayed with us, so she had lots of alone time with Carter.

That brings us to today!  Carter and I are busy preparing for our trip to Montana for Michelle's wedding.  We will be leaving Thursday night and Carter and I are staying through August 2nd.  Josh has to come back to SLC on Sunday - someone has to pay the bills around this place.  :)  Sorry, there will not be any pictures for this post, the little one just woke up!!  Have  a great day.
