The Latimer Family

Go Eagles!!!

2009-06-08T11:53:00.002-06:00

There is nothing that makes a mother more proud then to attend her children's sporting events. Jordan just finished up his first soccer season in Murray and he really did make his mother proud. He had a great time made some good friends. Its interesting to see how they blossom from the first game to the last. His first game he wouldn't even play he just stood on the field and followed his coach around while his coach encouraged him to get in there and kick the ball. As the games went on he got better and better. At least he wasn't one of those kids that would get tired of running and decided to lay down right on the field for a rest which happened a lot. Ha Ha!! Not only was I proud but naturally I wanted to cheer Jordan on so at one point during a game I was yelling "Go Jordan go kick the ball" and he yells back to me "Stop cheering mom its embarrassing." Can you imagine that at 5 years old I am already embarrassing. If he thinks that now he is in a world of hurt 10 years from now. After his last game he was given a trophy a certificate and a picture of his team he is so proud of his trophy and his great accomplishment. Go Eagles!!!!

Huckleberry Finn

2009-01-19T15:07:00.003-07:00

So I just had to share this one with everyone it truly is classic. Here we have our very own Huckleberry Finn. Carter had a great time prancing around the house in his little Huck Finn outfit all that was missing is the fishing pole.

My Worst Nightmare

2009-01-15T01:36:00.003-07:00

My worst nightmare has come true and that is one of my children has cut their hair. I know I know every child seems to do this at some point in their life but I was bound and determined not to let it happen in my house. Which child was it? Well no surprise here it was Jordan. Even though he knows never to touch my stuff and that mommy is the only one that cuts hair he just couldn't help himself. Not that I blame him cause it is a lot of fun. Of course it wasn't something that could be fixed easily he had to cut it right in the front right down to the scalp. All I could do was buzz it. When I asked him why he cut his hair and then reminded him of the rules he looked at me and said "Mommy it is your fault cause you left your scissors out" I was completely speechless and I couldn't help but laugh at what he had just said and believe me since then I never forget to put my scissors away!!!

Happy Halloween!!

2008-11-05T13:31:00.003-07:00

Well Halloween is over but the candy isn't we have more candy than we know what to do with and yesterday Jordan said to me "Mom can we go get some candy at the candy store?" while behind him sat a huge bowel of CANDY!!! All in all the kids had a great time and they had some great costumes. Happy Halloween!!

Jordan's 5th Birthday

2008-10-18T11:30:00.009-06:00

October 9Th was Jordan's 5Th birthday. This year Jordan wanted to have a jungle party so we decided to have his party at Jungle Jim's Play land and as spoiled as Jordan is he not only had a Jungle Jim's party but one at home. I must say I am glad birthdays only come once a year because parents need a whole year to recover from the party the year before especially when it was at a party place. Don't get me wrong it was worth it for Jordan's sake but once a year to be amongst hundreds of excited children running all over the place is enough for me. Not only did we have 2 parties but we had 2 cakes and we have been eating birthday cake for a week now. I cant believe I am a mother of a 5 year old he is growing so fast. The day of his birthday I was thinking back to events that took place 5 years earlier and throughout the day I would tell Jordan about the day of his birth. He was born at 12:38 p.m. so when that time rolled around I told him he was now born and we talked about what he looked like and who came to see him. All in all he had a great day and had some fun parties and he is so proud to tell people he is now a big 5 year old.

Pink Flip Flops

2008-10-03T09:32:00.005-06:00

I think there comes a time in every child's life that they venture into their parents closet and try on shoes. Usually it is mamas shoes because of all the bright colors and the high heels. This particular day Carter found his way into our closet and his shoe of choice were a pair of pink flip flops. Second pair of choice were a pair of orange flip flops. He was so proud of himself that he was able to put them on I couldn't help but take a picture it was so cute.

Papa Kay

2008-09-25T12:20:00.004-06:00

Now it is time to introduce to you our very own papa Kay. Carter has grown very fond of his papa and of the few words that he says papa is one of them. weather it is hanging out on the couch or eating a bowel of popcorn where ever papa Kay is you will find Carter too. Those who don't know him my dad aka papa Kay is one of the most loved human beings of all time and it's no wonder that Carter has clung to him. Carter prefers his papa over his own mother at times. You can pretty much guarantee that when we are eating out with papa he spends more time feeding Carter wiped cream or ice cream or even jelly from the little jelly tubs on the tables. Nothing is sweeter than seeing Carter cuddle up on the couch with his blanket or as papa Kay calls it a goinkty spending time together and enjoying one another.

My Kitchen

2008-09-15T13:42:00.003-06:00

When I first started decorating my kitchen I planned it to be red and lets just say that isn't exactly how it turned out. Thanks to my dad (bless his heart) it has turned into not only red but apples too. Every time he goes to a yard sale he manages to find me something red and apple for my kitchen. Everyone asks me what is it about apples that you like so much and the answer to that is the only thing I like about apples is that they are red and it just so happens that a lot of kitchen stuff out there has apples on it. Pretty much every decoration I have in my kitchen (except for a few things that my sweet sister Michelle gave me) were from my dad. To be honest with you the apples have grown on me. He is so funny so I dedicate my kitchen to my dad for making sure that my dream of a red kitchen came true. Thanks dad!!!!

HHHHMMMM what should I be?

2008-09-11T13:36:00.003-06:00

Halloween is still a good month and a half away and Jordan is already trying to decide what he wants to be. So far it is between Spider man, He man and Superman. Don't we all wish that all our decisions in life could be as simple as deciding what our Halloween costumes should be. Jordan needs a little help from all of our viewers so its time to cast your votes should Jordan be

A. Spider man

B. He man

C. Superman

Carter's Curls

2008-08-18T13:43:00.008-06:00

Its official Carter has the Latimer curls. When he was born his hair was red and curly. As he grew older the curls went away and we were sad to see them go but they are back and curlier than ever. Like father like son Carter inherited his curls from his daddy who has curly hair as well. Ryan is very protective of Carter's curls. He wont let me cut them I have to sneak a few snips here and there so it does not get to long around the ears or the neck line just to keep it looking nice and to make sure he does not look like a girl. I have to admit I love the curls he looks so darn cute!!

SOCCER IS OUR GAME!!!!

2008-08-01T12:34:00.000-06:00

Ryan as you know is a huge soccer fan. He is currently playing on a team on Saturday afternoons and Jordan is now involved in a league of his own on Saturday mornings. Ryan also takes a lot of time working with the Real soccer team here in Salt lake so between the two boys I stay very busy with soccer weather i am headed to watch one of them play or there is a game on the TV (which is pretty much all the time) I am truly turning into a soccer mom. Just wait until Carter gets started everyone better look out for the Latimer soccer boys. GO TEAM!!!!

Meal time with Carter

2008-08-01T11:32:00.001-06:00

One of our most favorite things is to take pictures of carter while he is eating. As you can see he likes to get nice and comfy. Not only does he have to learn not to put his elbows on the table but his feet too. No matter what all meals are messy and baths are required after each meal.

School days for Jordan

2008-08-01T11:12:00.001-06:00

Jordan started preschool at the beginning of the summer and he is doing so well. He has learned everything form nursery rhymes to all about pirates and being in space. He will continue preschool through the year and into next spring. I cant believe that we already have a child that is in school not to mention he will be turning 5 in just a few short months. Oh and dont mind the mess behind him we just moved into our new house. :)

My cute Babes

Jordan is baby-sitting Carter. This is when I love my babies the most. When they are sleeping

My boys

Jordan Ryan Latimer is now 3 years old and full of energy. He was born on October 9, 2003 and we haven't had a dull moment since. His favorite color is red and he loves cars and trucks of all kinds. He will never go hungry as long as there is candy, ice cream, and treats around. He is the funniest little guy you will ever meet and he will say things that will make you roll on the floor laughing. A couple of Sunday's ago we were getting ready for church and Ryan and i were telling him about his new class he was going to called sunbeams. We talked it up and made it sound really fun but Jordan was still a little worried about going. Well he didn't do well and Ryan ended up going to his class with him so he would stay in there. After class I went to find them and the first thing Jordan said to me was "Mom i don't want to be a sunbeam anymore I would rather be a red Popsicle". I laughed and laughed for days about his comment and shared it with everyone. He certainly knows how to warm your heart and I live from day to day listening to his little voice and enjoying his sweet personality.

Carter Beckham Latimer made his entrance into this world on March 8, 2007 at 4:38 p.m. and weighed in at 7lbs 6oz and he was 21 inches long. He is so beautiful. His skin is so soft and he has big blue eyes and a little reddish tone in his hair. He is one month old now so we have yet to experience his personality but he is really sweet.
