So So Sad. But oh does this make me laugh.

Trick or Treat

Neighbors hanging out after our kids were done. I love this, it was a wal-mart trick or treat, one stop shop. Hit 5 houses at once.

Keira showing Carter how its done.

Carter, Keira, Aiya and Romy. They were so cute trick or treating together.

Same foursome last year.

Getting ready for Halloween

Eating animal crackers while Daddy carves a pumpkin. Brian did a really good job, don't know how I didn't get a picture of the finished product. Pretty sure I have a video though.

Goofing around.

With Cole at the fall festival. They both had red slushy all over. Awesome.

Carter wouldn't wear his elephant costume so Brian got him some camo gear and dressed up with him. 2 mini milky ways and some animal crackers later, he forgot about the outfit. But it was touch and go for while.

Carter and Cole.

At Sea World.

Enjoying the Shamu show for a bit.

Not so much anymore. The whale drenched us. Should have known by the puddles under our feet we picked the wrong seats.

Trip to the Quad Cities

The cousins trying to get a glimpse of Grandpa cutting the grass.

Cousin Mags. Isn't she precious???

Birthday in SA

We celebrated Carter's birthday in San Antonio with two more family birthdays (cousin Jennifer and Aunt Michele) at Bigs Burgers. Its a great place with a patio and open yard full of soccer balls - Carter was in heaven. And he got some great presents, that didn't hurt.

Not sure what game this is with Big Tom.

Showing off with Jennifer.

Give the kid a ball and some open space and you've got endless entertainment. He might even turn down food. I've seen it happen.

Carter's Birthday

Apparently not real hip on the cup cake idea. Next year I WILL bake a cake! (or buy one).

But he loved his lawn mower.

And water table.

Morning of his birthday. Got to get some putting in before we go to school.

This picture was 4th of July weekend.

Carter playing baseball

Running the bases after the game.

He would not let go of the ball.

These are kind of blurry but too cute not to share. Last week Carter and I went to watch Brian play baseball and he loved it. So this week when he got to go again, he was so excited he kept running for the car even though it wasn't time to go yet. Then the neighbor came over and he repeatedly told Kiera "Daddy's playing baseball". I'm afraid the next game might be to late for us to attend and Carter will have a fit knowing Brian gets to go and he doesn't.

Carter is getting so big

Just a couple of pictures taken on the new phone. In addition to seeing his best bud at school everyday, Carter has had a couple of chances to hang out with Cole outside of school recently. Here they are playing. It is so fun to see how excited he gets when we tell him he is gets to hang out with Cole. I see many more play dates in the future.

Not sure but if I had to guess they are watching Diego here.

And more of the crazy hair. I think he was exceptionally hot and sweaty this day.

I just can't believe how big he is.

Bath time

Carter playing in the tub and maybe singing his ABC's (or twinkle twinkle little star, not sure). And I am attempting to video using my new blackberry. I had no idea a phone could be this much fun.

Some recent photos

Carter on his tip toes trying to see Daddy through the door.

Playing with his friend Grant's grill. Of course Brian thinks this is the coolest kid toy on the market.

Playing nice and having a picnic. All is well when Carter has food.

New scooter from the neighbor. He cried when I told him it was time to go inside. He did not want to leave the scooter.

Random May pictures

Close up of the boo boo. Notice he is not crying cause he has food and drink.

Carter got a boo boo (one of many, he is a klutz like his mother).
