There's Nothing Better Than Having Carter Here!

Carter also likes to bake cookies!

After carefully cleaning off the cookie dough, Carter informed his Mom, "It's so tasty!"

Carter and Papa baled together for about an hour and a half.

Remembering Bo-Cat

Bo was handsome, dignified cat, as well as being a tough fighter. Bo loved being in small spaces
Bo moved with us from Billings to Cortez, then to the new house

What an amazing cat!

Bo slipped into the house and found a comfy box!

Rest in peace, old friend.

Carter's Here!

Carter's got the tool belt on and his John Deere hat in place -

he's ready to work with Papa. The tool belt is loaded and locked on...

Let's get to work!
He is a fast runner! According to Carter, his shoes are made for runnin', but his boots are made for walkin'

He loves this wooden pyramid puzzle.

Have you EVER seen a cuter bicycle!

Evidence of my Willy-Nilly Ways

During my year's leave of absence from school, I am enjoying one adventure after another!

Erin, Carter, and I went to the Clark Family Reunion in Soda Springs, Idaho, over the Labor Day weekend. We stayed in a cool,

re-furbished turn-of-the-century hotel.Earlier in August, I was in Memphis when Erin debuted as a Mary Kay Sales Director. She is pictured with her adopted Director,

the amazing Carol.
The week that July turned into August found me in Dallas

at Mary Kay Seminar.
Last week, I zipped to Grand Junction to visit the Tanners. We went to a wonderful bagel place in downtown Junction. They have a wooden train set that entertains Carter for ages!
Cute Carter with the train
Carter enjoys the tasty pumpkin chocolate chip muffin.

We spent some time chillin' on that back patio.

Carter has gotten so tall and talkative!

My little friend poses at the back door.

After spending some time with Mom in SLC, I went to the new Oquirrh Mountain temple. Then Pat and I did some serious shopping!

Bicycles are used to haul many different things

Motorcycles dart all over the place

We couldn't figure out how the passenger stayed on the motorcycle-taxi. It looked like they weren't even holding on
