Priceless Moments.

My handsome boys.

Bridger calls his brother 'buddy'. I am not sure he has ever called him Carter. I am so glad they love each other so much already.

Carter loves all the attention he is getting. Can you blame him. Look at those cute kids.

Caroline loves to baby talk and sing to Carter.

Precious!

A few of my favorite baby parts.....

Check out this outfit!

Caroline dresses herself everday except for school and church days. This is the outfits she usually picks out for herself. Gotta love those funky, silk pajama bottoms and snow boots- Oh and the tie dyed t-shirt.... Well pretty much the whole combo is pretty awesome. What a fun little girl to have around. She is so full of life.

I read a book my Mom brought over - It was called Stargirl. It made me laugh because I trully believe I have my own little stargirl living with me-Only we call her Caroline. If any of you have read it and know Caroline you will probably know what I mean.

Can't resist snapping a picture of those baby blues.

Where did you come from?

We noticed a while ago that Kaitlyn's hair keeps getting wavier and wavier. Today we decided to get out the diffuser and see how much curl we could get out of it. It turned out pretty dang cute. I can't believe parents with brown & green eyes and super-straight hair could get two kids with blue eyes (Caroline & Carter) and one with curly hair.

We ask our kids where they come from and they all answer....Heaven.
They are absolutly right?

Yuck!! Pumpkin Guts.

I probably shouldn't have taken these pictures with the kitchen light on, but I just had to get the kids first reaction to touching pumpkin guts. We usually paint our pumpkins, but this year we carved them- It totally grossed them all out and Ryan and I ended up carving all three pumpkins.

I was so busy making dinner while carving pumpkins, I forgot to take a picture of the finished product. I guess we will have to carve again next year.

Carter's First Bath

Carter loved his bath so much he fell right to sleep. I think I am going to start bathing him at night-maybe we could get some sleep. I can't believe how relaxed he was the whole time. This could be an answer to my prayers--

He didn't even wake up when we were scrubbing his head or when we turned him around to wash his tummy.

What a precious babe. He is starting to get the Kaitlyn cheeks that I love so much. Yea!!
We took him in for his two week check up yesterday and he now weighs 8 pounds even. He gained all his birth weight back plus a pound. What a big boy!

SO GLAD HE IS HERE!!

I love this shirt on him. We are pretty proud of our daddy here at the Gear Household.
This is our new trick. I tell Carter to hold his binki in so it won't fall out. He is such a smart boy already.
Yep!!! Cool just like Daddy!!! I think he is tired of me taking pictures of him.
All worn out and ready to cuddle with his big Sister.

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit and we got a few great pics of them with Carter.

Carter already has some good buddies. This is a picture of Carter and his cousin Brigham. This is Carter and another great buddy and neighbor who is also named Brigham. They were due on the same day and Brigham was born on September 29th. So they are only 2 days apart.

What a sweet little guy.

Carter Bradley Gear- Born Oct. 1, 2008

Our beautiful boy is finally here. We love him so much and are so happy to have him and his sweet spirit in our home. I look at my beautiful children and my wonderful husband and can't help but feel like the luckiest, most blessed person in the whole world. I have many reasons to thank my Heavenly Father for all that I have been given.

It's that time of year.....AGAIN

We canned about 5 dozen tomatos, 3 dozen peaches and 2 dozen pears this year. We were very blessed to get so much fruit this year. Thank you Grandpa Evans, Sherree, Anita and Pres. Royle.





My canning partner. I feel very lucky to have such a great husband that doesn't mind getting in there and helping me out. I don't think I could've done it this year without his help.

Caroline's Favorite Food

We got this giant tomato from our neighbor's. Caroline was so excited to eat it. She loves tomatos more than any other food she has ever had. She thinks it is candy.




And if the tomatos were not enough she wanted some pears too!!! In fact, she thought they tasted best if you eat them together. She is always giving us something to laugh about.

Lucky Us!!!

We have been watching Brigham, My brother and sister-in-law's baby, since Serene has had to go back to work. He is so sweet and we love him so much. He has been helping us get ready for our own babe to come. Having him around definatly makes the time seem to go by a little bit faster.

The kids are so good with him. I am so glad they like having him around. They are such good helpers too! On the days he doesn't come over we all miss him so much.

What an Angel!!
