Just pleasent

written 7/20- .

Not sure what to write but the child has been napping for 3 hours and I am clear out of things to do...so i'll write...

So far summer has been great. We went on a family reunion about 2 weeks ago to a ranch in Utah and have been playing at the beach and pool nearly every day. Carter has learned to love the pool but is still learning to love the beach...He got his first wet suit on fathers day and I can't wait to take him in the waves! He is getting more and more fun as he gets older-he smiles and laughs now at everything and tries to scoot around- (key work TRYs) I love hanging out with him but am so excited for the day that he can crawl or roll over or umm... sit up...something. That will be a good day. Till then we will continue to hang out on the floor, talk and read Dr. sues books . "one fish two fish red fish blue fish" his favorite. For some reason that is the only book that holds his attention. anyway he is such a handsome little fella and I love spending all day with him.

I also enjoy spending time with Drew...about two months after Carter had been born Drew started feeling neglected. He would say things like "you like carter more than me" or "why don't you want to stay up late and watch a movie with me?" or "why don't you love me anymore?" Obviously he knew I still loved him but clearly he needed more love than I was giving. sad...well I fixed the problem-I started putting carter to bed early! Now you may be thinking "duh, that was an easy adjustment" but No. not. that. easy. at the time, early to bed for Carter meant earlier feeding for Carter- as in 3-4am instead of 5-6am...It was hard and I was tired but let me tell you hanging out with just Drew and I each night for 2 hours was refreshing and fun. It made things better... lots better! Andrew Ryan York you were worth it.

anyway, since I am apparently going on a romantic spill about my husband ill go on...

I love spending time with Drew. We play this game Monopoly deal that our friends Jordan and Luke taught us. We are obsessed. As in we play everyday at least 3 times! we even started keeping a score chart. Whenever one of us wins it counts as $10. We made a price sheet where you can win things. For example: Back massage-$100 Dishes-$30 baby duty $40 . Get it? Yes we really did..... I hate giving back massages...that's a different subject though.

well it is now 9/12 and My carter boy is nearly 6 months and friends- he can roll really well now and he crawls.... backward. and it's great! I still love my husband, our nights together as well as monopoly deal... oh and my baby boy is more and more delightful each day.
