Carter's 3rd birthday party





We had Carter's 3rd birthday party a couple of weeks earlier, since Mason was due so close to his birthday.  We rented the pool and gazebo at Springfield Country Club.  Lots of family and friends came out to help us celebrate.  Rachel made the cupcakes and we ordered some pizza.  Carter did really great and definitely enjoyed himself.  I think he ended up eating 3 cupcakes and drinking root beer!  He was on quite the sugar high afterwards.  He got so many new toys to play with.  He is one lucky little guy!

Rachel and Christy threw me a shower for little Mason.  It was family and close friends.  We enjoyed wonderful food.  I am so blessed to have great women in my life.  We got so many things for Mason!

Our boy is getting so big!  June was a fun month with lots of parties.  Carter got to swim a lot and try to stay cool in the heat.

30 weeks

Belly just keeps on growing!!!  Only 10 weeks left.

Late May pictures

 Carter loves to help daddy mow the lawn.
 Our little boy has a big head.  He can basically wear dad's Raiders hat.
 Carter took gymnastics classes for 3 months from March-May.  The first couple classes were kind of crazy, but he improved every week and by the end was doing great!  I think the group setting was good for him.  Above his a picture of him during stretching.  He was kind of tired that night and wasn't listening quite as well as normal.

 Jumping on the trampoline and playing in the foam pit.  Two of his favorite things!!

At the end of every class they got stickers and their hands stamped.  His teacher was Coach V and she was great with him.  He really liked her, and gave her hugs.  We are so proud of our little guy.  What a fun experience for him.

Mother's Day 2012

 Carter loves to help water the flowers.

 Carter was being a mess and didn't want to take pictures with mom...
 He finally decided to be sweet and take a couple of nice pictures.  I look huge in these pictures, but had to post them since I was with my sweet boy on Mother's Day.
We had a nice day with family.  Went to church and took Clay's mom out to eat.  Then we went and had dinner with my family.  It was a great day...so excited to have two little boys next year.

Big Boy Bed



On May 9th, Carter made the big switch to a Twin bed.  We actually got him a new (to him) bedroom set because Mason is getting his other set.  We luckily found a twin bed with matching dresser and nightstand on Craig's list.  It has took some adjusting, but I think Carter really likes his new bedroom set.
