Funny Friday!

Only a couple of funnies this week...all featuring our favorite 2 1/2 year old...Carter. :-)
***
Me:  "Carter, eat your carrots.  They help you see good so when you go hunting with daddy you will be able to see deer really well!"
Carter:  "I don't need carrots!  I just use daddy's noculars! (binoculars)"
***
Carter:  "I drink milk so my beard will grow up.  Then my friends will see my beard and say, 'What?!?!' "
Poor little guy is still OBSESSED with growing a beard like daddy. :-)

Have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Lexi!

Our sweet Lexi turned 9 today!  We just love her so much.  She has been the best dog, despite the fact that the boys bug her sometimes.  Happy Birthday Lexi Lu!

Happy 3rd Birthday Hudson!!

Our nephew, Hudson, turned 3 today.  So hard to believe that he and Carter turn 3 this year!!  Time has really flown by.  We had a fun day yesterday at Hudson's party.  We enjoyed pizza and a yummy, adorable cake (from Shelby Lynne's of course!).  Hudson got a lot of great things and then we were even able to go outside and play since it was such a nice day.  Mimi came over to stay with us for the weekend, so we were so happy to have her as well.  We even got to sneak in 2 date nights!!  Friday night we went out with our friends Dan & Katie to a new Italian restaurant, Tavola.  Super yummy.  Then Saturday night we went to the movies with BJ and Wendy.  So thankful for such wonderful friendships!

Happy Birthday Hudson!  We love you buddy!

 He is literally saying "cheese" here. :-)

 His adorable dinosaur cake!

 The 3 big boys.  Carter insisted on wearing this pirate hat most of the day. :-)

Donuts with Dad

The boys' preschool had a special "Donuts with Dad" day a week ago.  The boys were excited to have daddy go with them to school for a bit, but once they got there they weren't really interested in sitting around and eating donuts.  They kept asking when they could go to their class. :-)  At least they love going to school I guess!

Funny Friday!

Our funnies for the week...

So the other night, we caught Carter sporting this "costume".  Josh and I both just started laughing because he reminded us of Jack Black in that movie "Nacho Libre" where he was the mexican wrestler (see last picture).  Ok, he doesn't look exactly like that, but in the moment, it was what came to mind.  Carter is really enjoying all the costumes he got for Christmas. :-)

Collin-"Carter, someday when you get married to a girl, you can download games on your iPad."

Collin (the day after the Broncos big win), "Mom, I prayed to God for the Broncos to win and they did!  They are better than your Chiefs!"  So sweet, but I really gotta work on converting him back to my team and not daddy's. :-)  Ok, I do have a slight crush on Tim Tebow, but that's the only thing I like about the Broncos.

***

The other day Carter had this crazy long, wild hair sticking out from the side of his cheek.  I thought it was a stray hair and then realized that it was attached!  I couldn't believe it.  I started to pull it and he got SO mad at me and wouldn't let me.  All day long he wouldn't let me near him to pull it.  He was SO excited to think that he might be actually growing a beard like daddy's! ha!  It was so cute how excited he was.  Once Josh got home from work, Carter was so proud to show him his new "facial hair".  He then let daddy pull it....thank goodness! :-)

2011 Fall Family Pictures

I just realized that I never posted all of our Fall Family Pictures!  My wonderful friend, Katie Cole, took our pictures again this year.  We had a fun time walking down the Crystal Bridges trail and spending the day together.

Carter's New Year's Resolution

Carter's New Year's Resolution this year was to be potty trained, and by January 2nd he had already fulfilled his resolution!!  Potty Trained!!! Yippee!!!  He has done SO great and just goes in and goes all by himself without me prompting him.  Santa had brought him some new superhero underwear for Christmas, so that motivation proved VERY effective because he was desperate to wear them.  New Years weekend he just started going and wanted to wear his new underwear.  

Way to go Carter!!

Showing off some of his new underwear.  Love that tush!

Our Fun Day with The Boys!

On Saturday, Josh and I each had a special day with the boys.  Collin actually wanted to hang out with me and not go with daddy to shoot guns!  I couldn't believe it, so I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to spend the day with my little man. :-)  We went furniture shopping, to Chuck E. Cheese, to TCBY for ice cream and then met up with daddy and Carter at Pizza Hut for dinner.  It was a big day, and we had a great time!

Collin thought this chair at IO Metro was funny.  He felt like a king sitting in it. :-)

Carter and Daddy had a big day out with some of the guys from the office shooting guns out at Kevin's house.  Kevin and Laura have some chickens that Carter was interested in too.  He had a big day with daddy and wouldn't quit talking about it when I saw him.

Oh, this kid.  He has the funniest personality!
