Big boy!

Carter spent a good majority of Sunday in his big boy underwear! He is getting the hang of peeing on the potty. It is a lot more work than I ever imagined!


Rob, Natasha & Brennan came over Sunday afternoon for a little fun in the sun! The boys had a blast playing in the pool together.

4th & 40th

Saturday, May 30th was a full day of birthday parties! We started the morning off at Lake Wheeler for Harrison's 4th Birthday Party. It was great fun.

Yummy!!

Family photo!

After Harrison's party a few of us headed to The French's new house to celebrate Rick's 40th!!

Harrison & Carter had a blast playing with his new shot rocket.

They enjoyed playing in the sprinkler.....

Memorial Day - May 2009

We spent Memorial Day this year enjoying great food with wonderful friends! It is unfortunate that we all can't get together more often -- because when we do we have a GREAT time! Shane & Brandi - thank you so much for welcoming all of us into your home! We miss all of you!

Here is a great shot of all the BOYS!

Fun at the park!

Monday morning Auntie Sue & Josh took Carter to the park while Mom & I stayed behind and relaxed!

Carter was a bit uneasy stepping on this at first... Auntie Sue is assuring him it is safe!

Down the slide he went......

Running through the tunnels.

Swinging higher and higher!

They even got up close and personal with the geese!

Sunday dinner.

Auntie Sue had some of her closest friends over for dinner on Sunday - and it was fabulous. Wonderful food was served, fantastic wine was sipped, awesome conversations were had and new friends were made!

From the moment they met - Carter idolized Hudson!

Serious stuff was discussed.

Getting in some snuggle time with Auntie Sue!

Vandalia Festival

On Sunday morning we headed to the Vandalia Festival. It was your typical arts and crafts fair. We enjoyed walking around - I even did a bit of shopping. I purchased two new Sushi dishes!

West Virginia has the nicest State Capital Building.


Carter had his 1st ear of corn for the season - he enjoyed it. I'm not sure any of us even got a bite.

On our way out Carter got to throw a few pennies into the wishing fountain.

Caterpillar & Yoga!!

On Sunday morning I discovered a caterpillar right next to my mom's coffee mug. Of course my first thought was get that thing outta here... however, my mom had another agenda! She picked it right up and brought it to Carter - he thought it was pretty neat, just as long as it was on Grandma!

It took him a few minutes before he was interested in holding it!

Most of the regulars reading my blog know that my Auntie Sue is a certified Yoga instructor. She and Carter spent a few mornings doing their daily yoga poses on the back deck. It was very cute to watch Carter 'learning' from Auntie Sue!!
