Best Year of our lives!!! Happy Birthday Carter!!!!

Do I have something on my shirt? It doesn't matter.... It's my birthday... Mom and Dad say I can get as messy as I want :)

Uncle Warren and Auntie Caroline got me this awesome b-ball goal. Dad is helping me with my dunking skills!

Washing the b-day cake off... splash!

And now you see why.... DE-LICIOUS! I love birthdays!

Mozart ain't got nothin' on me! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Happy birthday to me!!!

Hi Gramps! I love you. Thank you and Grandma for coming to see me on my big day!

OK... Vikings fan or not... I look pretty studly in purple and gold!

Silly Daddy... did your head grow or did the hat shrink??? Hmmmmm.

Now that I'm one... I prefer drinking big boy drinks from straws... way tastier this way!

Christmas and New Year's

That's my mom and dad all dressed up for New Year's. Grandma and Grandpa Carter took care of me so my parents could go out on a date... They said they had lots of fun!

This is me and my new Kawasaki! I love it!!! Thanks G-ma and G-pa Carter...

This is my UT monkey and I also got a University of Minnesota dinosaur robot... My daddy's friend, Tim, got me this super cool Puma sweat suit... Fun times!!!

This is my new play house. Mom and dad got it for me... its great when I want to play or when I just need a little private time!

My mom and dad went snow shoeing in MN. They had lots of fun, but it took them about 30 minutes to get all of their winter clothes on... They look pretty silly to me, but they were very warm.

Sledding down the hill in Grandma and Grandpa Hasbrouck's backyard... so much fun!

This is my new friend... Mr. Snowman... he's small like me :)

Uncle Ben explaining the magic behind my jack-in-the-box.... Thank you Uncle Jared!!! I got tons of presents... my mom and dad say that I'm spoiled... I don't know what that means, but I think I like it!

My grandma greeted me with a big smile and my awesome hat... It kept me nice and warm in Minnesota! Mom calls it the frozen tundra... It sure was pretty though covered in lots of white stuff called snow. My first plane ride... I did pretty great... as long as I have Ernie the Elephant... I'm good to go!

Party Time and Cute Pics...

I'm just a skater boy, said see ya later boy...

This is my friend Helia and her mom Miss Courtney. We had a fun time at breakfast knocking all of our alphabits on the floor... Good times!

Having fun with Mom at Nico's birthday party... shakin' my maraca!

Just me and my octopus! Can you see my 5th tooth... its just now coming in... look to the left of my bottom teeth... there it is!

Just a couple of jail birds... mom and dad say if they ever see this in real life, it won't be pretty!!! We're pretty cute now though!

This is my good buddy, Nic... Nico's dad. We had so much fun at his 1st birthday party!

Courtney and Matt are going to have a baby of their own in April... I can't wait to meet my new friend... I'll teach Baby Smith all kinds of new tricks!

This is my cuddly jumper... I'm a sheep and ready for sleep.

The Vikings are on a roll. My daddy thinks this might be the year... Mommy says he's said that before :)

This is Nico's grandpa... both Nico and I are big boys, so this was quite a workout... apparently, Nico and I are going to be things called football linemen.... not sure what that is yet, but it sounds cool!

Family, Giving Thanks and The Beach!

Carter is sooooo close to walking. He can stand really easily on his own, so we are just waiting for him to build up his courage to take his first step!

He has 4 teeth now... two on the bottom and two on the top... So cute!

I love this picture of my two guys just having fun... Carter brings out the kid in all of us!

Family pic under my parent's morning glories... the flowers were beautiful!

We had a nice visit with my friend Steph. She lives in Colorado, so it was a treat to see her. Carter may not look too sure about things, but he was quite the charmer!

Never mind the red-eye... just focus on my crazy nunchuck skills!

This is my cuz Christopher... we had a great time at Thanksgiving... we played tug-o-war with a banana!

It was a lot of fun going out with Warren and Caroline... We hardly ever get to see each other, and we spent a fanastic night out at the world famous... The Oak... in Seguin. The pre-Thanksgiving festivities are quite impressive!

Just a quick couples picture!

Mom and Carter at the park... Carter was extremely interested in eating the leaves... apparently they have lots of protein... Mom had to put a stop to that pretty quickly...

Super cute on the swing with dad! Just a swingin'

Andy's artistic side... this was taken at my parent's house.

Jellyfish at the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi. Andy and I spent 3 days in Port Aransas, so we got a chance to visit Corpus and see lots of cool things.

The beach was amazing... such a nice getaway. The weather was so great that we actually got to spend all of Monday laying out and playing in the water... Andy and I were like a couple of kids! It was so much fun!

Another great pic taken by Andy... who knew I married Ansel Adams... more like Andy Adams :)

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!!!
