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.

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).
