Let the battle begin............

Recently I was watching my little nephew Liam. He brought along his new light saber that he got for his 2nd B-day. Carter was so excited that he went downstairs and got one of his brothers light sabers and the two little cuties battled it out. They were so funny with the hats that they were wearing.....if they weren't on just how they wanted them they would stop the battle adjust the hat and then carry on again. Cute little munchkins aren't they : ) Love em!!!!!

It's been awhile!

I guess I have been a slacker for awhile so here I am jumping in again! Enjoy : )

Carter turned 2 yesterday!!!

Yesterday Carter turned 2. He had fun day. This is a look at some of the highlights. I have the pictures backwards....UGH!!! But, I am to tired to put them in the correct order so you'll just have to bare with me here.

Ok, here he is opening his last gift and all the boys playing with the new toys. Grandpa Nelson stopped by after work. Carter was so happy to see him. He kept saying "Gampa I ov o" (Grandpa I love you). It was the cutest thing.

Here he is opening a gift that the boys bought him with their own money. It is a bunch of dinosaurs and a tree. He thought it was so cool. Then he opened one that was from all of us. It is a cool fire truck. He was super excited when he saw it. He has been grovin' on the fact that he has his "own" toys now.

This is the yummy fruit pizza that I made. The boys put a "2" candle on it which was a highlight. We sang Happy Birthday and he was so happy!!

He looked so cute eating his slice. : )

First thing in the morning he was able to get his first gift. It was a baby. He was thrilled. (All of my boys liked babies at this age??? Cute!) And last but really first in his day was a "2" pancake. He had that best time blowing out the candle.

Fun bibs!

Yesterday my little sis gave Carter a cute bib for his B-day. I just love it. Well.........I decided that I could craft them up if I tried. So, today I bought some supplies and then tinkered around with some paper towels to make a pattern. Here is the one that he got for his B-day.

And...........here is one that I made today. Don't you just love it!

And.........here are the others that I made. They are made out of washcloths and bias tape. (I didn't remember that it had bias tape on it while at the store so I just made my own with some fabric that I had).

I am so excited for these. I can never seem to find a bib that works well and washes well. Towels hold up forever so yeah...............I am just thrilled : )

Here is my mom for ya, what can I say? That's my mom!!!! Gotta love her : )

Here are pictures of 2 of my sisters. Oh I just love the one of myself.....so glad that they captured me at me best.........Ugh! Lovely!

It was a nice little get away with the ladies. I don't think I need to go back to Vegas anytime soon though.

Only Kids Aloud!

This picture goes along with the next post. I forgot to include it. You can't tell what it says to well from the picture but it says.............Only kids aloud! p.s. and baby's , dogs to. It is on front of the fort that the boys made today.

Fun times with the big guys........

Last night the boys and I had a little camp out in the back yard. The boys were excited to put up the tent (I hardly had to help them). We all stayed nice and cozy cuz it's a bitty tent! It was fun though. We made smores, talked, read a Magic Tree house book, and...............

lit some sparklers! The boys loved this part.

I guess the kids didn't have enough tent time. Once we cleaned everthing up in the morning they wanted to built a fort in the house.

They can spend hours this way.........
