Saturday is a special day...


Every Saturday Nate goes out and mows the lawn. Carter always wanted to be outside helping so we went ahead and got him his own lawnmower. He loves it. It blows bubbles too. So every Saturday I trek outside to keep an eye on him while he mows the lawn with Daddy. He is such an outdoor kid! He is also happy to head out with a shovel for the dirt or a bat/club and ball.

Our Cutie!

Some silly pictures of our little boy. The top one he was sitting for a haircut. I don't think his hair had ever been that long before.


Granny and Grandpa's visit


We had such a great time with granny and grandpa in May. We were busy going to the museum center, seeing the airplanes, walking across the bridge, going to the park, and of course shopping. We were able to cover my dining room chairs (which we love!). Thanks mom and dad! We wish you could visit more often. Too bad I did a terrible job taking pictures.

Take me out to the ball game...

So, I have a bit of catching up to do, so I thought I'd start a couple of months ago. We went to the Reds stadium for a Shriner's Employee appreciation day. We had a great time. They let us visit the dugout and go through the musuem they have there. Carter loved it. He is definitely going to be a ball player. We actually just bought him a baseball tee yesterday so he can start practicing for tee ball.

Go Hospital


Carter periodically asks to go to the hospital. I think it must stem from the fact that he likes firetrucks and ambulances and we have a firefighter friend that lets us visit the firestation and climb in the trucks. So I decided to explain to him that you only go to the hospital if you are sick or hurt really badly. Shortly thereafter he began telling me " I sick mommy, how about go hospital". Here he is on Easter in the back of the ambulance. (Thanks Matt!)

Carter really enjoys the outdoors. We started heading over to the park to play in the sand volleyball courts and he loves it. I have collected quite a few sand toys. He is equally as happy in the dirt, mud, or water.

One of Carter's favorite things to do is climb in his toy box. Of course he usually dumps all of his toys out of it first. And it is always more fun with a friend.

A little of what's happening this week

Well, I haven't posted in forever so instead of trying to back track I thought I would go ahead and start with what is happening this week. Carter and I went to the Conservatory with friends and saw the butterfly exhibit. It was a lot of fun, but Carter really just liked this fountain the best.

For some reason the park seems to be so much more fun with Daddy. I certaintly don't go down the slides with Carter. We have been enjoying the nice weather by walking and being at the park almost everyday.
This is at my friend Erika's house. Her boys love fireman gear because their daddy is a firefighter. They have tons of dress up and they love to run around fighting fires.



It was actually so nice today that we had to turn on the air conditioning and break out the hose. Carter had a blast.
