Another Pary

Grace had another small get together last night at Papa and SuSu's house. Susie cooked us a wonderful supper, Grace and William played, and everyone seemed to have a great time. Here is a pic of Grace with her Tinkerbell cake...

We had a great night and Grace loved her play Pony she got!!!

Happy Birthday Grace!!!!!

November 20th we celebrated Grace's third birthday with a quiet night at home. We recently moved to Greenwood so everything is out of whack at the moment. So, we just got a little caramel cake for her and ate supper and let her open a couple of gifts. Here is a pic of her favorite gift...a big girl bike as she would say. She loved it!

She took off through the house right away....

Here she is covering her eyes waiting on her next gift......

This MagnaDoodle was a hit...she takes it everywhere with her....

Here is Carter saying, "hold up...where are my toys?"....

Blowing out the candles....

She got the cake a bit wet trying to blow them out....

Such a sweet and happy smile....

Her birthday hat pics...she has worn this hat every year and I hope to get a picture of her in it on each of her birthdays....

We plan on having both kids a party in December. We hope to be unpacked and settled by then. I pray that God blesses us with many more happy birthdays for everyone in our family!

My Little Hunk

This is the look on Carter's face when he got "busted" for going through the cabinets. Now how in the world are you suppose to say "no, no" to this face. It is just waaaayyyy too much cuteness for me.

I guess all kids love the little Rubbermaid containers. He sure does!!!

And here is my little hunk goin' shirtless while eating. I always keep the camera handy for moments like this. He is still such a happy little boy and I can't believe he will be one in two weeks. Whew...time flys!

This is probably one of my favorite pics of him.... I could just eat him up here!

Fire Station

Grace's class took a field trip to the fire station this past Tuesday. I was really excited because I missed most of her school stuff last year because I was on bed rest with Carter. Anyway, Brad and I loaded her up and headed out. Before we left we watched them say the Pledge...

After the pledge we had to line up to get ready to get in our wagons. Here is Grace with her very good buddy Grahm.

Allie and Grace rode together in the wagon...

Here one of Grace and Brad...

Grace on the fire truck...

Grace and friends....


Grace is really loving school this year and Brad and I both love being a part of her school experience.

Cowgirl/Cowboy Day

Last Friday was cowboy/cowgirl day at Grace's school. So, I found the perfect little outfit and she was the best looking cowgirl you have ever seen. The kids had so much fun and Grace had a blast. Here are the pics:

First Day of School and Other Stuff

Okay...so school at First Pres. has started again. Grace was really excited about a new year starting. She did great and there were no tears. She threw her backpack right down and went straight to playing. The only thing she is struggling with is not being to understand why Mrs. Caroline isn't her teacher this year and where her other friends are (they divided the two year old class up this year). Last night she kept asking me about it over and over saying that Mrs. Caroline was her friend and where is she. Anyway, here are some of the pics I took that morning.


And here are some of Carter's 9 month old pics I took... By the way, we have all been sick around here for about a week and a half. During this time Carter has actually started crying. I am in shock. If I turn the corner and he even thinks we are going in his room he starts crying. If I go to put him in his bouncer he spreads his legs so I can't get him in there and crys. I am really hoping that the tears quit once he is better. Here are his pics...

Big Ole' Boy

Brad and Carter have "man time" where they sit on the couch together and watch Trucks and the History Channel. I decided I needed to get a picture of it....

I wanted to share with everyone some recent pictures of Carter. He will be 9 months old September 1. He is growing up waaayyy too fast!




He is the sweetest boy in the world and thus far hasn't caused us a bit of trouble. If they were all like him I think I could have a house full!
