Happy Halloween!!!

Hi! I'm a puppy for Halloween! I even got some chocolate... DELICIOUS!!!!!!

Hi Mom!!!! This costume is so very cozy!

I had a great time at my church fall festival! Next year, I'll actually get to play all the fun games.

Can't wait til' next year!!!

So many pictures... so much fun!

What a couple of posers!!! True story... we couldn't get Carter to smile for this picture... but... two pretty girls walked by at this exact moment, and this is what we got! What a flirt! He must have learned it from his daddy... look at his pose!

Can you tell which one is Carter? He's our little pumpkin!

We had a great time at the Dallas Arboretum and hope to go there again soon... They had it set up for the Fall Festival. Carter wants a teepee for his own room.

A nice couple took this family picture for us... of course Carter was way more interested in the splashing water behind us.

He LOVES his daddy's hat! It makes him smile everytime!

Check me out... wearing this just feels so natural! Sorry Uncle Warren!

Where's Carter... We had to put him through a couple of spin cycles to get him clean :)

Oddly enough, Carter loves broccoli! When Jan and Jack were in town, we went out to eat and he couldn't get enough... it kept him occupied for quite a while!

Happy Boy!

See... what did I tell you about the hat... he can't get enough!

Such a cutie... he loves to play peek-a-boo!

This frog towel has come in so handy, and I just love how happy it makes him!

Just a quick pic of the two of us. What a boy!

Fun Times!!!

Here's lookin' at you kid! Carter, you are such a stud!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!! Andy turns the big 3-0... yep... I totally robbed the cradle... Just call me a Cougar!!!!

Uncle Ben and Carter posing for the camera... so cute!

Peek-a-boo!!!! If you look closely, you can see my new teeth. They are super cute!!!

Family Fun!!!

I'm all smiles!!!

Just mom and I hanging out. I love to stand and move around. I pull myself up and walk around all day. Mom and dad say they can't keep up with me, but I think its just because they're getting old.

I LOVE bath time!!!

Aren't we handsome! Go Gophers! They won their first game in their new stadium... it wasn't pretty, but a win is a win... right dad??? Plus, the Longhorns won their game too... Mama says she can't watch the Horns play, because she turns into a crazy person and she doesn't want me to see that side of her...

Me, Grandpa, and Ernie the Elephant! I sleep with Ernie every night... he's my best friend!

Basically, Carter is super cool! He is so active and fun. He really is hard to keep up with, but he makes us laugh non stop! Brenda, Mom and Dad came up Labor Day weekend, and we got to see Lisa's family as well. It was a lot of fun to hang out with everyone.

We had to fill out our first daycare accident report this past week... Carter climbed on the toy box, and the lid popped him in the lip... He was a trooper, though, and terribly cute with his puffy mouth. He's all boy, that's for sure!

School is going well for Andy and I, and we feel blessed everyday. God bless all of you and hope you're all great!

Somebody Loves Ice Cream!

It looks like Trish and Carter now have the same vice:)

Just Plain Cuteness!!!

Back to School...and the Many faces of Carter :)

Not much to say about this... what a face!

"Mom and Dad, do you really think this wall of pillows is gonna hold me back? Come on... who are you kidding?"

"Watch out Lucky... here I come!"

"Do I have something on my face?"

"Hey guys.... how's it goin'?"

Back to school we go!

Andy and I have been in teacher in-service for the past week and a half, and we start classes Monday! (Andy's actually been doing coaching stuff for a few weeks now.) I think we are both looking forward to seeing our new students and getting the year underway, despite the fact that the summer just flew by.

Carter has readjusted to daycare pretty easily, but I don't think they were expecting or ready for what they got when he returned. They tell me everyday how fast and far he crawls. (He's like lightning) He likes to visit kids in various classrooms, and the other teachers welcome him with open arms :) They say he finds his way in and out of all kinds of spaces, and they think he is so funny... a complete handful... but really funny.

It has been tough not seeing him throughout the day, but it definitely gives us something to look forward to...

Ooooppppsss... got to go... Carter somehow found a way out of the barricade I put up for him... What a little stinker! CARTER... COME BACK HERE!!! :):):)
