Happy Birthday Carter! (like 17 days ago....)

Well this post is a little late, but we celebrated Carter's first birthday a few weeks ago, and it was AWESOME! We had so much fun! I can't tell if his favorite part we the cake, the pizza or the presents! I think that he knew that the day was all about him because he was eating it up! He loved everything! I wish he could turn 1 every year! The excitement was just all around him! I'm so greatful for my little blessing, and I'm so glad that he is such a happy little boy! Mostly I'm just glad that he came to our family! Cody and I couldn't have asked for a better kid, and I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world, he's mine, and that's how it'll stay! :) :)

(The pictures are in backwards order, but I think you will get the point! :))

This is his ride, and walk toy!

Opening presents! :)

After the cake...He would have kept going had I let him, but I didn't want him to have a tummy ache on his birthday! :) The cake was alreay 3/4 of the way gone....

His cakes! The blue and white one is a pool ball. Laura did that one and the beach ball! SO CUTE!

Volleyball, Anniversary, wishin' for spring!

This is for everyone at volleyball giving me a hard time about not updating my blog! :)

So far not much has changed in our lives. Cody is still trucking away at school, and Carter and I still play all day long! We both have cabin fever really bad and can't wait to get outside!

Cody and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary this week. He is so wonderful! He sent me flowers! Yay!!! It seems so weird that we've been married two year! In a way it seems live we've been together forever, but at the same time it's flown by so fast! I love it! I can't believe how much my life has changed in 2 years! I feel so blessed to have my Wonderful little family, and can't wait for the years to come so I can see it grow! :)

Recently I have found out that I have 6 friends and a sister in law pregnant and many more people that I am aquainted with. It amazing how in only a year I have forgotten how miserable I was pregnant and now am totally baby hungry! I'm trying to convince Cody that we need to have another one by December so that the baby isn't a new born when he leaves for his rotations his 4th year. Wish me luck! :)

We are leaving this weekend to help my brother in law and his wife move to Washington, it's so sad to see them go, but I'm sure they will be happy there, and I am so glad that they have found somewhere to settle and be happy. After we help them move we are off to Ogden to see Cody's mom for spring break! We haven't seen her since Christmas and we are so happy to be going! Carter loves his Grandma! :)

Well I think thats about all for us! Like I said, nothing new! But boring is how I like it! Simple and happy, that's how it is for us Plaisted's! :) As Cody would say, "Oly the best for the Plaisted's" and I agree! :) Love you all and I hope you have a wonderful spring break!

Welcome Two Thousand Nine!!

Well 2009 has come. Horray! I love starting out a new year, it means new resolutions. This year Cody and I decided to get ready! Ready for what we don't exactly know, but ready we'll be! Our resolutions are: LOSE WEIGHT!, Read Scriptures nightly, Family Home Evening, Start our food storage, and my personal resolution is to have dinner as a family every night.

My dad has so graciously given my family incentive for losing weight, the Peterson Family Biggest Loser Contest! $5 a pound! I'm already at $25 bucks! But on top of that incentive, Cody and I are going to match what my dad gives us and go on another honeymoon (babyless :)) Find a babysitter for one night and go to the little bed and breakfast that we spent our first night as a married couple (where the magic happened....) and also do a session at the Manti Temple. If that doesn't knock 20 pounds off me, I don't think anything will!

Well Happy New Year!

Christmas!

Well Christmas is very quickly approaching. This year for some odd reason (cough cough CARTER cough cough) Cody and I are really looking forward Christmas day. We are staying home this year so that we can enjoy Carter's first Christmas without the stress and worry of traveling in Wyoming's unpredictable weather. Cody's mom is coming from Ogden, and Dan and Laura and their kids will be here too.

Also this year we have quite a bit less money than we have had in the past years. Me not working and the addition of another person probably has had something to do with that. So for us this year is not about the gifts we want, or the food we will be eating, or how elaborately our home is decorated; it is about the birth of our Savior. With Carter in our lives we have realised what a miracle Christ is. We have the opportunity to be an eternal family because of him and his sacrifice. We are SO very blessed! We are grateful for Christ and miracle of his birth, and the meaning of Christmas. We hope you all have the merriest of Christmas'!

THANK YOU CARLIE!!!!!

Carlie is the greatest EVER!!!! She helped me figure out how to make my page not look stupid! ha ha! And how to add my Friends and Family! YAY!!!!!!!! Thats all, just wanted to say thanks!!!

Well hmmm...as you can see I'm an exceptional blogger.....Carter is taking his "long morning snooze" so I guess I will dink around and see if I can figure this out!

Since my last blog not much has actually happened! Cody resumed school and I quit my job so now we are broke, but Cody is educated, and we LOVE IT!

Carter can now sit up, roll over, and scoot all over the room. In no time at all he will be crawling and before I know it he'll be off on a mission! Oh how the time flies!

Here are some of my favorite Things:

Baby finger foods that make a HUGE mess, but they are so fun!!


Family photos! GO POKES!!!

Yes, I have a picture of my Kitchenaid. I love it!

I Love the big metal bowl that has provided DAYS of entertainment for Carter!

TOYS!!!!!!!

There are SOOO many more things that I love, But alas the long morning snooze has ended! So until next time......

Oh! a Bolg!

So what is a blog? I'm using it as a way to keep in touch with my family and friends. And show off my cute son Carter. So, if you are friend or family! Welcome to my blog spot! :)
