Miles @ 4 Months

Miles turned into a cross country traveler this month.  Isaiah, Grandma Mary, Reagan, Miles and I all jumped in the car for the 18 hour drive to Salt Lake.  Miles was a very good rider as far as my kids go, which isn't saying much.  At least he didn't scream for 6 hours straight like Melody did at his age.  He got to go through 6 new states on the trip and go hiking in the Rocky Mountains.  He also got to meet lots of family.

Miles is such a smile, happy guy.  He loves for anyone to talk to him and will squeak, giggle, and coo back.  He is really fat and everyone loves his cheeks.  He has gotten heavy to pack around.  He is already in size 3 diapers and almost to outgrow his 3-6 months clothes.

Isaiah has been sneaking him little tastes of different foods.  He will let Miles just lick a grape or watermelon and Miles facial expression turns to one of "Are you trying to poison me."  It cracks us up every time.

Reagan has really taken to Miles in the last few weeks.  She will ask to just sit and talk to him.  If one of the other kids is playing with him, she comes right over and pushes them out of the way, so she can play with him. 

Derby Racing Time

The boys have really enjoyed building derby cars with their dad.  This year Isaiah helped Carter and a friends son build their cars. 

Carter and his dad spent all day one Saturday picking out designs and sanding the car to shape.  Then Carter worked on getting it painted just perfect.  I tried to help him think less is more as far as the paint job went because he wanted to put blotches everywhere.  In the end he did a great job. When it was time to put the wheels on Isaiah found out that they didn't fit good because of the design, so he had to spend a few days working out a fix, but like always he came through.  On race day the car looked great.

Carter raced against twenty other races.  It was fun to see all the different designs and how excited all the boys got as the race went on.  Carter ended up taking 7th.
