Madi's birthday

This weekend we went to Alabama to celebrate Madi's 1st birthday. Madi wasn't so sure about the cake at first but she got the hang of it; even if it was face first! As you can see in the pictures below, Carter had no problems! The child LOVES cake - really just the icing!! I wonder where he gets that from! It was a whirlwind weekend but fun. We also got a chance to see my friend Katie and her new baby Camden along with Josh and Hampton. Carter and Hampton loved trying to catch fireflies and rolling in the grass being tickled! As tiring as all that sounds, I thought for sure they would sleep in, oh no . . . 5:30 AL time rolls around and they are awake! Goodness the sun comes up too early there. Carter thinks when the sun is up, he should be too! 5:30 makes 6:30 in GA not seem so bad!

Pool Friday

Loves jumping
Loves blowing bubbles


Most Fridays we spend time at the pool. Actually we spend at least 2 days during the week at the pool but the act of putting on sunscreen on 1 squirmy 17 month old gets tiring. Thankfully Carter cooperates with the sunscreen on most days! Carter is doing great at the pool this year. He is attached to the floaties but I don't blow them up all the way, so he has to swim. He kicks his legs and moves his arms but it still a little less confident without the floaties. He can do the kick board all by himself so there is progress. I am thinking maybe by the end of summer he will be able to swim without the floaties! Campbell on the other hand, just thinks she can swim! She sits at the steps and blows bubbles and wants to drink the water. She wants to be out in the middle of the pool without a float and wants me to take her out there but once there wants to let go! The child has no fear; especially since she loves to climb on the kitchen table. I guess I am going to have to put the kitchen chairs in the garage! Unless I am holding her, she makes a bee line to the chairs to climb on the table! Ahhh sweet, beautiful Campbell is so strong-willed! I hear she gets that from her sweet mama but I refuse to believe it!

Asleep at the wheel

Poor thing, she just couldn't stay awake to finish lunch! This was one of those days where she wouldn't take her morning nap! She is almost ready to cut out her morning nap because most of the time she just plays in her crib for 2 hours during that time! Please just hold off for another month!

Fun pics

Carter taking a picture of himself from outside!
Carter loves his goggles! But wears them everywhere except the pool! This night he went to bed with them (not on) and when we went to check on him this is what we found! So funny! And yes, of course we took them off but not before a picture!

Memorial Day




We had a low key Memorial day. We cooked out when it wasn't raining and went fishing. Really, Brandon and Carter went fishing and Campbell and I just watched. Carter loves fishing!

Park fun

We have been enjoying some fun and now hot times at the park. Carter wakes up from his nap everyday wanting to go to the park. We are going to have to mix in the pool some! Campbell loves the park too and tries to do everything her big brother does; digging in the dirt even!

Last day of soccer

Carter had his last day of soccer a few weeks ago. They got trophies and had a pizza party. Carter loves to play soccer and hopefully he will be ready for a team this fall!
