Christmas till Now

Jill made me feel guilty so I am updating almost against my own will. I hate this blog. So, anyway....

Me and the gals left Donnie and went to Utah on the 17th of December. He had to work so he wasn't able to roll out till the 22nd. I forgot how cold winter could be. I can honestly say that I don't miss having a white Christmas AT ALL. Give me the 70* weather and shorts...I can fake it just fine! It was so incredibly cold there that we tried to stay indoors at all time. Miserable cold. Horrible.

this is just a random pic to show the forsaken weather

We spent a lot of time eating. I guess that's what us Cartwrights do...we just eat. Why get together if you're not going to eat, right? So I gained 10 pounds while I was there. Sweet. We celebrated Kyler, Mom, and Dad's birthdays. We had Christmas, obviously, New Years, and any other reason we could think of to make more yummy food.

he's so incredibly attractive when he's hungry :)
Kellie demonstrating the fierce intensity of our love for all things food.

Even the kids know where to hang out...we teach them while they're young.
 (Yes, that's Rylee rocking a Snuggie)

Tracy is an enabler. She makes a lot of the good food we consume...but she never gets fat.
 I hate her a little bit for that.

My BFF Jill and her family came to see us at my parents house. We took the kids to Cabela's for lunch. It was quite the adventure. They know deep down they are going to fall in love and marry eachother one day, but they're just too cool right now to admit it. It's okay, they don't have to admit it. I know.

Future husbands and wives. Ryker and Rylee are cool with it, Mar and Jax are still
trying to hide the fact that they are in love and they keep their distance.

We finally came home (against our will) on the 4th of January. Since then we've been having inspections and appraisals and fixing odds and ends to get our house ready to sell. It is now on the market, so if you just happen to be moving to Fayetteville and want to buy a house, mine could be ALL YOURS!
