Carter's 3rd Birthday

Can you believe Carter turned 3 today?  He had a great day that started with some bacon and a few gifts from Mommy and Daddy. Then we went Build-A-Bear where he built a kitty names Fluffy. Then on to the play area at the mall. After nap time some of Mouse's homemade donuts were waiting for him!

New muddy puddle boots!

And, a new raincoat.  Now if it just rained more here he'll be ready!

Loving the bubble blower. 

 The easy way to blow bubbles.

Showing off as usual.

 CUPCAKES!!!

Silly boy!

Summer Play and Parker Days

Carter's first time trying a Slip-N-Slide.

I guess he thought it was called a Run-N-Jump! 

So Daddy helped him slide... 

 Yipeee!

 Ol' Blue Eyes

April in Colorado

A few weeks ago Carter decided to juice his fingers...don't ask.  He's completely healed now probably due to the fact that he went through a whole box of Sponge Bob band-aids.

The Easter Bunny brought Carter a Snow White doll.  He hasn't put it down since.

 Nana and Papa came to visit and brought some playmates for Carter...

 ...and he had lots of fun playing with them all.

 This is all I need to play at the park!

 Playing on the rocks with his friend Jenna.

 You can't get me!

 You lookin' at me?

 He's up to something....

If anyone wants to buy this photo and put it in a Gap ad, just let us know. 

Christmas in Colorado 2011

This year we stayed in Colorado for Christmas. Grammy and GrandBob came to celebrate with us.

We all took Carter to see Santa.  He did great.  He very patiently waited for his turn. When it was his turn, he ran up to Santa and gave him a huge hug.  Adorable!

Sweet!  A cowboy hat from Nana!

High tea with Momma.

Giddy-up Grammy!

Cheers GrandBob!
