Happy Birthday Carter!







Carter is officially 2 years old. I say officially because he has been acting like a 2 year old for a little while now. Last week was a rough week at our house, Shayla got the flu and shortly after so did Carter. We had to cancel all of his birthday parties with family. We still celebrated his Birthday with our little family and we did the cake, balloons and the whole works. On Saturday Carter was running a fever but by Sunday he was doing much better. He woke up on his Birthday to fish balloons, drums and presents. He was so cute when he saw his drums, he is a great musician, if I say so myself.
He opened his presents once he stopped playing the drums for a moment. He loved all his presents but his drums were by far his favorite present. I made him a fish cake. Carter kept pointing and saying "ish". He loved the candles and eating his cake. I can't believe how big he is. My baby is 2 years old!
Carter at 2:
He loves anything to do with fishing. Fishing poles, nemo, fish tank.
He loves to play ball, basketball and soccer ball.
He loves the alphabet, favorite letters are s,o,i,e,a. He points them out when he sees them. He likes to sing the ABC's.

Halloween!

I have a lot to catch up on. We had a great Halloween and the kids were so fun. Carter thought trick or treating was the best thing. He was so excited that all he had to do is knock on somebody's door and they would give him candy. Shayla was able to participate in the Pumpkin Walk and carve a pumpkin for hr preschool. She is still loving cats and so she asked her dad to carve a cat. She wanted to be Sleeping Beauty and Carter to be a dragon, Daddy to be her prince and Mommy of course the witch. The part of Shay's costume was the pink sparkly shoes. Carter didn't mind wearing the dragon head. We went and visited grandparents and picked pumpkins. When Halloween finally arrived Shayla had been in her Sleeping Beauty costume 4 times. She asked if she could change her costume to tinker bell. We already had that costume for dress up so I let her change. We had a great day and did lots of FUN things. I can't believe what a fun age my kids are at. Everyday is a blessing. Now that Halloween is over we are looking forward to the Holidays.
