We had a wonderful Christmas. The boys were excited and it was great spending it with family. Landon's favorite gift was the geotrack train track he got and Carter's was the GI Joe mobile command unit. The dogs, hands-down, said they enjoyed the big bone Santa left them. We hope everyone had a great Christmas.

It's Snowing!!!
We had about an inch of snow Wednesday morning. Rich came home from work the night before, telling Carter it was going to snow. I quickly got onto weather.com to find out THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. I then spent the entire night convincing Carter it was NOT going to snow. Boy were we ALL in for a surprise the next morning!!!

Enjoy the weekend! I LOVE this time of year.

Our Pumpkin
Tonight we carved our pumpkin. Just like I figured, Landon hated the goo on his hands. Carter had a blast and helped his Daddy design the pumpkin.

One Crazy Monkey...
Landon had his fall festival at school today. He loooooves his costume. Carter had this same costume when he was 2, but didn't really keep it on. Landon will keep it on for hours, if you let him.
We had a carnival last night, one today, one tomorrow night and then trick-or-treating on Saturday. The kids are LOVING it!
Tomorrow night is Carter's fall festival at his school. Last year it was a lot of fun and Carter is really looking forward to seeing all of his friends.

Too busy to post much...
This has been a crazy week. Between going back to work part time, Carter being in school, joining MOPS, Labor Day, hunting season and day to day "duties", I am plain worn out!!! Next week isn't looking much better :) Of course, I'm still taking pictures so I may just have time to post a picture here or there. I hope everyone has a great weekend. We just got back from a back-to-school bash, tomorrow we have Kirsten's 30th birthday party and Sunday we have church and Mason's 1 year old birthday party. Busy, busy but at least I get to spend it with the family!!

1st Day of Preschool
Landon is going to preschool two days a week. I will be working there too. I am really excited about that! I've already met great people and I'm glad that I get to spend my time with them. Landon is in the room next to me (separated by a half wall), so I can hear him and "peek" on him all day. He did really good his first day and did not cry once!!

Happy Birthday Carter!

Happy Birthday to my fun-loving, adventurous son Carter. You love Gi Joe, legos, nerf stuff, basketball, pirates, action figures, Star Wars and MOSTLY your little brother. You are an early riser who loves to give me morning snuggles. You eat ALL day long but somehow your ribs are still sticking out. You run 100 miles an hour all day long but go to bed early and when you do, you pass smooth out. You love school, people, going new places and making new friends. You love spending time with the family and you tell me all the time that Landon is your very best friend! Your Mom and Dad are so proud of you! Happy Birthday!!
When Carter wasn't looking, Landon couldn't wait to get his hands on his new nerf products.
Then Landon figured out he could do this with them...

Landon on Carter's 1st Day
On Carter's 1st day of school, Landon ran an unexplained fever of 102 degrees. He had no other symptoms. I contribute it now to just plain SAD. He was just missing his brother. I guarantee you big brother was missing little brother just as much! Carter was very upset that from now on he will only see Landon at dinner time. He was not liking that!
On Carter's 1st day, Landon did a lot of this...
and this....(here he is on his new nap mat for preschool)
However, he did have some time to play a little naked guitar...

Carter's 1st day of 1st grade!



I can not believe I have a first grader. This is a big year for Carter because it is the first year he goes ALL day. Last year he went from 12-3. It is going to be a big adjustment for us to get up early every day. This morning I cooked him banana pancakes and bacon, which is what he requested. I am so proud of him because he adjusts really well to new situations and he LOVES school. He was so excited today!!

Getting Even!
Landon may not be able to hold Carter down, sit on him, hit him or tickle him BUT he sure knows how to BITE!

Forest Park Train




I decided to take the boys today to the Forest Park Train. It is a cute little train that takes you down part of the Trinity river. You stop half way for popcorn and a drink. Landon LOVED it. Every 5 seconds he would slap my leg, point and say MA! (which is how he gets my attention these days). I have taken Carter before, but this was Landon's first time.

Landon's New Shirt
This is the best I could do at getting a picture of Landon's cute new shirt. After chasing him around the house with the camera, he finally crawled to this spot where I quickly snapped the best pic I could. I'll try another day to get a picture of his new shirt and his cool new Converses.
