April.

Easter was very fun this year. Carter had no idea what was going on, but we still went to an egg hunt done by our ward the Saturday before. There were only a few toddlers there who knew what the point was, so it was funny to see all the infants not care at all about the eggs.

Easter morning, we went to Nampa to attend church with Jaromy's parents. Jaromy's dad sang a beautiful solo during sacrament. After Church we went to my sister's house for dinner. There we also had an easter egg hunt. It was fun to see my nieces and nephews search for the eggs. Carter didn't really want to be there as it was his nap time! :) Easter was fun, but it also meant a little more to me this year. Jaromy and I read in the New Testament about the last week of Jesus' life. We read the whole week prior to Easter. It really made the reason that we celebrate Easter stronger and mean more to me than ever before.





Here is a cute picture of Carter, Jack and Parker.... These three are getting to be best buds!!!

I ran a 5K! By running I mean there was some definate walking involved! Our stake put on a 5K and I was determined to run in it. SO... for any of you who know me probably have to pick your jaw up off the ground while reading this. Running is and never has been my thing. In fact, I have always hated it. But, in attempts to get healthy and lose weight, I decided to run. SO, at the gym I run on the treadmill and have really started to enjoy it. It really makes me feel good. But back to the 5K. I don't care that I was last! :) All that matters to me is that i completed it!!! My time? 31 min 36 sec. woop woop!!



Carter is now eating table food. He won't eat some things and as it is still new, we are still trying out some foods with him. Here is the first time we gave him spaghetti. He doesn't seem to be ready for that texture. :)

This past weekend weekend Jaromy and I (along with Carter!) went to Salt Lake to celebrate Christmas!! Well, Jaromy gave me Wicked tickets for Christmas and we finally got to go see it!!! We had great seats and the show was amazing! Just as good as the time I saw it in Portland. Jaromy even loved it. We were able to leave Carter at Aunt Holly's house (THANKS!!!) and enjoy a date. It was tons of fun.
