Happy 2nd Birthday Carter!

Happy Birthday Baby Boy! I guess after all you are not such a baby anymore...you can now talk, walk, run, wash your hands, help clean up, brush your teeth, throw tantrums, sleep in a big boy bed, eat with a spoon and fork, kick a ball, throw a ball, require routine haircuts, you've lost your blonde highlights and you love all things Toy Story, especially Buzz Lightyear. Wow that is a long list Mr. Carter Matai Magalogo.

We love you and can't wait for many more fun filled years to come!

Love, Mommy, Poppa and Elise

All better and excited for next week

Well we've all been out of commission for almost two weeks now. Carter got sick first, then Elise got the worst of it and lastly, Daniel and I got sick. After lots of sleepless nights, DayQuil, NyQuil, Toy Story movies, and antibiotics we are all officially better. Now we just have next week to look forward to: Valentine's Day and Carter's Birthday...good times! Here are pics of happy and healthy kids!

I'm so excited 7 days until my birthday!

Snow Day!

We got lots of snow this week and the kids got to play outside in it, enjoy :)

January Fun!

This past week has been busy busy busy....with pre-school, playdates, toddler time, and chiropractor appointments I feel like I have been running around like crazy! The kids sure love it though.....and to reward them for such a fun week we topped it off and took them to see Beauty and the Beast at the theater in 3D (they looked so cute in their glasses).

A Week of Firsts

This week was our week of firsts. Elise went to preschool for the FIRST time. Elise started attending primary at church for the FIRST time. We got new carpet in our house for the FIRST time. I see a theme here....Carter has started saying a ton of words for the FIRST time too. He almost says a new word every day. His new ones are Elise (very clearly), wait, house, shoes, done...etc etc. As for us we are getting adjusted to the start of a new semester and schedule.

All ready to rock her first day at pre-school
It's cute, the school is in one of the older houses in Logan

Here are the rest of the pictures from our Christmas Adventure here in Idaho this year. It was a blast for us and the kids, can't wait to come and visit again. The kids loved seeing and playing with their cousins. Highlights included: Hot tub fun, sledding, seeing the new Muppet movie, seeing Breaking Dawn again, watching Christmas movies with my mom, the Christmas play performed by all the cousins, mailing letters to Santa and the kids faces Christmas morning! Priceless! Happy New Year Everybody! 2012 here we go...
