Brooom.... brooomm! This was soooo much fun!!

Christmas @ The Lake!

Beautiful tree with stockings!

This was Granddaddy's favorite gift to Carter -- he could hardly wait to give it to him. He could barely wait till we opened gifts, he wanted to give it to Carter the night before!

Carter's 1st fishing hat!

Growing up Josh had a penguin Mr. Beakly -- now Carter has one too!

Santa has arrived....

Pepe got Carter a sword for his first Christmas -- crazy old man!!

Pepe had a beautiful chair handmade for Carter with his initials on it.
Great keepsake!

Yeah, I love my new drums Auntie Sue!

The all time favorite gift from Santa -- Carter's TRUCK! Vroom.... vroom... or as Carter says.... broom, broom!

November 2007

November was the month of napping on the floor.

This was such a funny day -- Carter wasn't feeling too good, and the only thing that would make him happy was to play, auggghh.... tear up my magazines! As you can see from the picture below -- I let him. My little peanut has got me wrapped around his little finger, already!

Carter's favorit sleeping position.... butt up in the air!

Halloween

Carter was a penguin for Halloween -- imagine that! We went trick-or-treating with Madison and crew!


Carter was out about 1/2 way through our evening!

October - Professional Pictures

In October we had professional pictures done by a very talented photographer! She did such a fantastic job, we plan to use her for all of our upcoming pictures. Danielle, thank you for all you do for us -- Carter adores you!

Here are just a few of my favorites.

North Carolina State Fair

This was Carter & Jolene's 1st trip ever to the North Carolina State Fair. Carter really wanted some of our millennium fries & cheese sauce.... not quite old enough yet little man.

Carter and Dad hanging out next to the largest pumpkin!

Carter was such a trooper -- we enjoyed our trip to the fair. We ate so much junk food, we all had a belly ache the next day!

The deep fried just about anything.... up, even Coca Cola! Only at the NC State Fair.

Visit to The Lake!

This picture looks so innocent, but there is quite a story behind it. Carter was napping soundly on Uncle Mattie when all of a sudden we hear oh no, oh no (which if I remember correctly is putting it mildly) get him, get him... we all come rushing to Mattie's rescue thinking some thing was truly wrong -- to find out Matt thought Carter had pee'd on him. Yes, you read correctly -- I said he thought. It turned out, it was only sweat. For those of you that don't know Mattie, he is a germ a fob... he has been pee'd one once before (another story) the thought of it happening again modified him!

Playing with Granny.....

MiMi & Papaw got to visit also!

When Carter 1st started crawling, he would only go backwards. It was the funniest thing. Here he is stuck under the couch!

Picture perfect!
