Trip to St. George

We spent a long weekend in St. George with my parents and Lindsey & Jake. It was so nice to get away. Unfortunately Markham couldn't come, thanks tax season. I just had to break out of the house for a few days. I fear I am getting dangerously close to completely losing my mind. Things should be so much better after October 15th. Then we will be gearing up for the first annual "Carroll Spook-tacular" I am planning an epic Halloween bash for the family, costumes required! I am looking forward to it!

Kaitlyn's favorite pastime as of late: wearing everyone else's shoes

Aunt Lindsey and Kaitlyn sharing a story

Just relaxing with Grandpa

Our cute cousins came up from Vegas for the afternoon. It was so good to see them. A special thanks goes out to Taylor for entertaining the little tykes so well. He was so good at it! I told him Markham and I would have to come to Vegas for a little couple get away and leave Kaitlyn with him because he just enjoyed himself so much ;)

Kaitlyn and Carson having a fantastic time together. It is a crime to keep them so far away from each other!

It was so fun to see you guys!!! We love you and look forward to December!!
