Tommy and The Good Guys Show

Tommy loves cars. If I believed in reincarnation, I would say that he was a Nascar driver in a former life. However, since it's not, it must be his Grandfather Greg's genes, because HE LOVES CARS!!!!!!!!!Tommy counted down the days to the Good Guys Show on the calendar everytime he came over. This time there was a little race track for 4 year olds and he had the time of his life racing his car.


He is serious about passing everyone...


Determination...


At the end of the day, he came back and "raced" the orange one.


Then there is always the minature train area of the Pleasanton Fair Grounds, always a popular place for Tommy.
Tommy loves the cool cars...

Preston James Carter

Preston was born Friday night, March 5th at 9:53PM. I almost missed his birth. Emily wasn't sure if she was in labor when she called me a 5:30 PM! She said that she was having pains every 45 to an hour. I told her to write down the times and and time the length of the contractions. She called back at 6:40 PM to tell me the TIMES!!!! She had many and the last few were 5 minutes apart! I told her to get to the hospital while it was still somewhat comfortable to move and I would come. Friday night traffic, but luckily for me I was in time to see him born. Unluckily for Em, I was of no help to her. I got in her room at 9:25.... She was a champ, when she realized there was no way out of this situation, she pushed, obeyed instructions and this dear little boy was born, 20 minutes of pushing! The nurses kept telling her she was amazing for a first time mom! Aaron was a great support and coach.

Preston all cleaned up. I love the hairdo...

All this crying is good for him, gets that oxygen through those lungs and pinked him up.



The new Parents! Overwhelmed...

I was able to stay for a week. When I came home I got a cold. I had my days and nights all mixed up! This is the picture I received when I was sick and couldn't visit.
I love iPhones...I miss my boy.


Three Weeks Old! Is that a smile?

Anna's Quilt


When Anna came to visit in November, she saw the quilt that I made for Don! It's the minky back I tell you, it gets them every time! So I made this one for her and sent it to her in February! Hope it helped her through the long, cold winter in Provo!
