Happy Birthday, Carter

Carter is 1! The year went by so fast. Carter is a happy baby and lots of fun! The pictures are getting harder to take with George on the green chair. He doesn't like to hold still! The one below was the best I could get. Carter loved the M&M's on his cake.

Easter Fun

On Friday we colored Easter eggs with the Reids. The kids had lots of fun dying the eggs but then no one wanted to eat them! Tanner thought the white part of the egg was okay but the yellow was yucky!

The Easter egg hunt was a hit with the kiddos. They loved looking for the eggs. We are still missing one egg. The bunny did too good of a job hiding eggs! That will be a fun treat for later. Carter especially loved sucking on the wrappers of candy and he even managed to get a couple open.

Field of Dreams

Tanner's baseball team was able to be the Field of Dreams team at a BEES game yesterday. His team went down on the field and introduced themselves, their number and their position. Then they ran out to their position and the BEES player for that position met them. Tanner met 1st baseman Matt Brown. Then all the boys were able to go down and see the locker room and batting cages. Tanner had a great time!

Hanging out with his buddy!

Carter is almost 10 months

I thought I would post the pictures of Carter when he turned 9 months since he is almost 10 months. He is in the green chair with Curious George, which I do every month- it has just been awhile since I have posted pictures!





As you can see it is hard to get him to hold still and he likes to eat George!

Princess Anna

Anna went to her first birthday party! And it was a princess birthday party. Anna was very excited to dress up in her Cinderella dress for the party. At the party she had her nails painted-something she had never done before! She had a great time and come home with a goody bag that said Princess Anna!

Anna is 3!

Anna had her birthday at the first of this month. I can't believe she is already 3! She has a very bubbly personality and you never know what is going to come out of her mouth! The one thing that is always constant with her is her love for chocolate. Her only request for her birthday was a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting! And that is what she got!!!

Thanksgiving Tradition

This year we went to Justin's house for Thanksgiving. We had a great time and ate lots of delicious food! One of are favorite parts of Thanksgiving is making fruit cocktail. This is something Justin's dad has been doing since he was a boy. Justin's dad buys a bunch of fruit-apples, grapefruit, bananas, pears, peaches, grapes, oranges and pineapple. Then we all gather together and cut fruit. Anna and Tanner joined in for the first time this year. They cut bananas and Tanner also helped with pears. We had a lot of fun and the cocktail was delicious as always!
