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.

Just "Bouncing" Around

Today we went to a bounce house place in Hurst. The boys loved it! I don't really have many pictures of Carter because he was too busy running all around the place. Landon had a blast, too!
Tonight we are going to "National Night Out", in our neighborhood. They are having a bike decorating contest. You are suppose to decorate your bike like an emergency vehicle. We are decorating the bike like a firetruck. Carter is the fireman and Landon is the dalmation puppy. I will make sure to take pictures!!

Carter is home...

After 2 weeks of camp, we finally have our Carter home. We sure have missed him. All the quietness made the time go by really slow!
