Slightly Embarrassing...

Last night in conversation with Duane I quoted Peter from Family Guy.

I admit we might watch it from time to time and occasionally I do laugh.

Joseph got swallowed by a fish?

After church yesterday:

Me: What did you do in Jr. Church?

Addi: We got candy and painted.

Me: What did you learn about?

Addi: Joseph got put in a big hole.

Me: Who put him there?

Addi: His brothers.

Me: How did he get out?

Addi: Reuben helped him.

Me: Oh.

Addi: Then he got swallowed by a fish!

So I had to correct that little bit but pretty good, I thought, for a 3 year old. It is amazing how kids learn so much and so fast!

Hide N Seek Rules

Hide N Seek Rules for Toddlers

1. Find a 'hiding' spot where you are not really hidden, like the entryway by the front door.

2. Holler to the seeker to come find you. When asked by the seeker, 'Where are you?' in reply state where you are, 'In the hallway'.

3. Giggling and laughing the entire time the seeker is coming is encouraged and enhances the 'hiding' experience.

4. When the seeker is not coming fast enough, leave your 'hiding' spot and see where he is. Note: He may be right around the corner and scare the pants off you.

5. Have fun!

6. Repeat. With the same 'hiding' place.

He can scream like a girl

Funny story.... I was going to sleep last night. Duane was in the shower, when I heard this high pitched holler. I was thinking, what was that?, was it one of the dogs?, or is Karter up? It was Duane! A HUGE garden spider had gotten in the shower and was crawling up his leg!!! Yep, it scared him and he screamed like a girl! Ugh! It gives me the hebee jebeeies!

Two Years Old!

My baby turned two yesterday! I can't believe it. He is the sweetest most loving kid! If he thinks he is in trouble he will run up and hug my legs and start kissing me. I love him so much! Happy birthday my big boy!

Shyanne made the cupcakes for is puppy "pawty"!

Here is a close up:

Karter's own cake:

The banner she made:

Thanks Aunt Shy Shy for helping make Karter's day so special!

Blowing out the candle with Daddy's help!

Paw-Paw brought the horse over and let everybody ride! Here is a picture of Addi and her friend.

Karter had a great party! Thanks to everyone who helped make it a success!

Guess What?!

Duane and I are....








going...









on a TRIP to...








NEW YORK CITY!

Crazy, isn't it! We are going with Duane's boss and his wife. They invited us and it worked out and we really didn't have any excuses not to go. We also never travel anywhere and have never gone anywhere like this before, so we thought what the heck let's do it! We are going on a Friday and coming back on Monday, last weekend in August. I am soooooo excited! That's truly an understatement!!!! We are going to see Phantom of the Opera when we are there and of course the normal sights! I can't wait!!!!!

FT Worth Zoo

On the 3rd we went with JJ, Teri, & Sierra to the Ft Worth Zoo. We went and ate at Rainforest Cafe, and visited Bass Pro Shop and Sam Moon, and spent some time with Duane's grandma.
These pictures are not in order:

The gorillas would dance in the RF Cafe and Karter would stand in his chair and wave at them saying 'Hi"!

At the zoo:

This is right after the left the house at 4:30am! Look at those eyes!

On the way Karter was entertaining himself with fruit roll ups. He would put them between his big toe and second toe and hold them up. It was pretty funny!

Have a good week!
