Huntlie Jean

Welcome Huntlie Jean Carrier! 7lbs 6oz 19.5 inches

Tage meets his little sister!!!

Almost time for #2!

It's almost time for the delivery of Carrier Baby #2 so I decided I'd finally post a belly picture! It's not the belly that bothers me in these pictures, it's the fact that on bedrest, I slack on putting makeup on and getting ready for the day so I haven't gotten many decent belly pix!!! :0) But here are a couple. We might be welcoming Tage's baby sister THIS WEEK!!!

~~HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY TAGER~!!!~

Tage loved the decorated dining room

Opening presents!

Even loves to read the cards...what a good, polite boy!

Now he's starting to get the hang of ripping the paper off, with Daddy's help!

Mommy made Tage a "cake" out of pudding to play in

"What am I suppose to do with this???"

"Oooh, it's cold and wet!"

"Hmmm, tastes pretty good!"

"I like birthday's!"

"See my teeth!"

Guess who's BIRTHDAY it is today!!!

Tage is ONE year old today!!! I'll post some birthday photos later!!!

I have received an award

I will now attempt to fulfill the guidelines

and pass this on to 7 others

but first the rules....

A) first list 10 honest things about yourself - and make it interesting, even if you have to dig deep!

B) pass the award on to 7 bloggers that you feel embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap.

1. I absolutely love children. I love my own and even love teaching other people's kiddos.
2. I, without a single doubt, believe in Jesus Christ, God, miracles, and an afterlife.
3. I have a problem with people who think they know everything and make it their job to "educate" the rest of us.
4. I have proudly overcome my lifelong fear of dogs, but still have a fear of things falling on me, (like in canyons or under waterfalls), and am real nervous of falling off cliffs, and of strange people in big cities.
5. I truly love nature and the outdoors, mexican food, theme parks, cooking, crafts, sappy romantic movies, chocolate, grape candy, skiing, swimming, floating, friends, and family.
6. I have lost more CLOSE friends and family members than many people I know. Been to too many funerals. Cancer and Depression are the most evil killers.
7. I am so thankful for life and love and feel so very blessed.

And now my 7 bloggers who I'm giving the HONEST SCRAP award too...

Christmas Eve dinner...Tage joined us in his new high chair

We're usually used to a BIG family Christmas....or 3 of them to be exact. We usually travel to Sheridan County and celebrate with both my Overgaard/Ross family and my Sorenson family where there are 12-25 people at each. Then also celebrate with the Carriers when we get home. This year, to keep things GERM-FREE in our home (and because we can't get enough oxygen in the car to travel home, and I'm on bedrest...) we celebrated with 3 small celebrations at our house. On Christmas Eve, Justin's family came over for gifts, alfredo, and fun. We were blessed to be able to have Great Grandma Honey and Justin's Aunt Michelle over as well as Grandma Sara and Grandpa Kent. On Christmas Day, my mom and Mike and Jesse and Amy came over for more good food, gifts, and fun. It was a different Christmas but fun all the same. On Saturday Jan. 3rd, my Dad, Laura, and baby Hannah made the trip over ice and snow to Bozeman to celebrate with us. We had hors devors and opened gifts and played with babies. Since Tage's birthday was coming up so soon, he got to open a few birthday gifts as well. We feel so blessed to have been able to celebrate with all of Tage's grandparents this year, but are looking forward to the day when we'll be able to spend the holidays back in frigid NE Montana again too. We missed seeing all of my aunts, uncles, cousins, and all of our good friends in Pwood.
