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.

Granny's House

Carter and I had so much fun in California. He was such a trooper. He did absolutely great on the airplane and has asked to go get on another airplane several times since we got back. He also asks to go to Granny's and feed the ducks about every day. It is amazing how fun something as simple as feeding the ducks can be when we are buried in snow here in Kentucky. I loved these pictures of the cousins. The kids all played so well together.

Happy Birthday Carter!

We have had birthday celebrations for Carter for the last two weeks. It has been so much fun and he has loved getting so many presents. Here is a classic--his attempt to blow out the candle on his cake.

Train Cakes!

This is the cake that I made for our party here in Kentucy.
These are the cupcakes I made for the party we had for Carter at Granny's

This is the one my mom made--for her, Carter and Kara

Carter is all about trains right now. Here are the cakes/cupcakes from all three of the birthday parties he had. He loved them all. He seems to think he has a birthday every week. Wouldn't that be nice.

Emily and Zoe's visit

It was so much fun to have Emily and Zoe visit. We went to Sears and got the cutest pictures taken of them together. It is fun to have a cousin come and visit us. We look forward to seeing them again in April (I think).

It's a beautiful day!

I just wanted to report that it was 65 degrees here in Sacramento. Boy are Carter and I enjoying the warm weather. Those of you back in Kentucky are wallowing in several inches of snow and ice. Can't say that I am sorry to have missed that. It has been so much fun for Carter to play outside so much while we are here. He will sorely miss it when we leave on Saturday.

It has been such a great time--I'll post pictures when I get back.

Sacrament bread

This was just a silly story that I thought I should write down somewhere. You see, Carter doesn't eat bread. At least not the by the slice, white kind. He has branched out to eating some buns and rolls but plain bread is out. So he has never been willing to take the Sacrament bread. This sunday his grandma was holding him and was determined to make him eat the bread (I never worry about it). She bribed him with fruit snacks. She said if he ate the bread, then she would give him fruit snacks. He protested at first and kept quietly saying "No like it, No like it" and squirming in her lap. But after a little more coaxing from grandma he put it in his mouth. He chewed for a second, preparing to not like it then got a very surprised look on his face. He proceeded to shout out, "I Like It!"--once again very surprised at the whole thing. Of course the room was totally silent when this happened. It was hilarious.
