July 2009

July went by so fast.

At this point I am still trying to get a routine and find my grove. Having two extra kids in the house has been great, but challenging.

We spent 4th of July with family and my dad's country club. All the sisters and our kids were together for the fireworks.

Carter was terrified this year. The loud booms were too much for him. Daddy took him as far away as he could. Brian found if he was behind a tree they could still see some of the fireworks and Carter would watch them. He thought they were pretty but too loud!

July is the month Carter decided to get a bit adventurous. Jumping was he new passion and he wanted to jump non-stop. They good news is he was READY for bed at night!

Jump Carter Jump!

June 2009

This month we took the twins and Carter camping in the pop up camper. We took our canoes and paddled in the rain one day and had a wonderful, sunny day the next.

Carter is becoming more independent and wants to do everything "myself". He is such a big boy.

Carter is enjoying having the boys around. Jack and Joe are so good with him.

Cousin Blake turned four! He we went to Overland Park to celebrate. Man does Carter idolize Blake.

If you can believe it, we even got to sit by a fire in June!

Is it really June?

A Taste of What's to Come!

I just finished choosing about 40 pictures and more than five video's to post. It will take some time but I will get everyone caught up on our life since May!

Here is just a "taste" of what is to come.

This is Carter's first ice cream cone. I had NO intention of him having any but he pulled that thing out of my hands and that was it. I barely got him to share it with me.
