Fun In The Sun

Yesterday we made these tie dye shirts. After soaking all night they turned out awesome! And to top it all off we made these really cool hats. Everyone had so much fun playing in the sun!

Ears Pierced

We went to the mall today and got Aralynn's ears pierced! While Mommy was filling the paperwork out, she started sweating and getting very nervous for her baby girl. Aralynn sat in her lap and took it like a champ! Mommy on the other hand got tears in her eyes!...what a baby!

The Ninja Crew

The neighborhood came to play! They brought their weapons and had ninja teams! Running around doing jump kicks and karate chops got us parents laughing so hard! They have a blast playing together. I am so glad carter had adjusted quickly here and made good friends, fast. =)

Scooter Time

Carter's friend, Andrew, taught him how to pop a wheelie on his scooter! They were on that thing for hours. He actually getting very good at it!

Picture Perfect

These two really do make every picture perfect! (Carter is actually the one to tell Mommy to take the picture, surprisingly). Carter helps Mommy pick out what Aralynn is going to wear everyday and he wants to play and hold her constantly. He's such a big help!

Tummy Time

Aralynn is loving tummy time. Mommy will put her down next to her toys and within a few minutes she is playing with them. She slowly scoots on her belly to where she wants to go.

Missing Daddy

Last night Daddy called us!

When Mommy was on the phone she told Aralynn that she was talking to Daddy, and our little girl started crying. Mommy knows that she misses Daddy so much. This is her "Daddy come home right NOW" face.

Jail Bird

Look at how big our little jail bird is! Daddy picked the outfit out in Nashville before we knew we were going to have a little princess.

Busy Day

Today we all went to Chucke Cheese! Kelsey, Sydney, and Carter ate their pizza so fast. They knew the faster they ate, the faster they got to play. All together they won 350 tickets! After they picked out their prize we went to the mall to do a little shopping. And on the way home Carter was out for two hours! Mommy was so happy to have some quiet time =)

I Can Do It Myself

I can do it myself! Holding a bottle makes life so much easier for Mommy! I still need a little help every so often, but most of the time...it's all me!

Open House

Today was Carter's open house at school. He was so happy to show off his art projects! His teacher, Ms. Sharon, told Mommy that his friend Sydney and him are together all the time. They sit at lunch together and play on the playground. She also told Mommy that he takes care of her. He will pull her hair away from her face and help her with her backpack. He only four, and such a gentleman!

Poor Baby Boy

Carter started limping today and his foot got really swollen. So, after three hours of waiting at the hospital, getting x-rays (twice), and talking to the doctor we found out that our little boy has a bad sprained ankle. He is suppose to try to stay off it for 24 hours and keep it wrapped for a week. He is so mad he can't play on the playground with the other kids at school tomorrow. =(

Brother And Sister

Big brother loves babysitting little sister while Mommy gets ready for the day. Brother always makes her smile and giggle. =)

HUGE Bee!

This HUGE bee was sitting on our door! I have never seen one this big! I couldn't kill it so I had the neighbor girl do it! (I think Carter doesn't like bugs because of me!) I had to take a picture of it. Otherwise I don't think anyone would have believed me!

Rollie Pollie The Worm

Carter and his classmate found a worm in the yard! Carter was to afraid to touch it (such a girl) =) But Sydney wasn't afraid at all! They built the worm a home and named it Rollie Pollie! All the other kids in the neighborhood came to see their new pet. No one else touched the huge worm except the brave little girl.

Spanish Words

After Carter helped Mommy clean up the yard, Carter's friend Matthew and his family came over to our house. After talking to his parents for a while, Mommy found out that Carter has been talking to them in Spanish! Mommy had NO IDEA! He can say shoe, nose, Iraq, and plant. Mommy is so proud!

Tricky Little Girl

This cute and innocent little girl can play some tricks on Mommy! She just talks and smiles away as if nothing is wrong....but when Mommy looks down, she gets a little surprise! ICKY!!! There is nasty coming out of her diaper! All over the place! This isn't the first time she has done this. But every time it has happens she just keeps on smiling. Mommy was so disgusted we had to give her a long bath so she smells all sweet again!

Mommy And Her Baby Girl

Mommy and her baby girl took some pictures while Carter was in school. Look at those blue eyes and her pretty pink hair!....Chubby little girl!

Go Carter Go!

Carter was sick today, eventually he built up enough energy to go on a short bike ride. He loves his new big boy bike, Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Jump Aralynn Jump!

Aralynn LOVES her Jumping Johnny! She would be in it all day if mommy would let her. =)

Inside Our Home

I have received a few e-mails saying that I need to put pictures of the inside of my house on here. So here are a few. We live in a three bedroom town house with one bath. We have a fenced in backyard (really great to have). In February the military will be moving us into a different house on post because they are replacing/fixing a bunch of things here and also be adding another bathroom.

Carter's First Day of School

Last night Carter put all of his school clothes out all by himself. Mommy woke up at 7 this morning to Carter yelling at her to button up his pants for him. He was completely dressed and ready to go at seven (school doesn't start till 12:10). He had a great first day of school and was so happy to bring his own lunch! Mommy got tears in her eyes as he walked into his classroom...he's growing up too fast! He can't wait to go tomorrow and see his friends.

Bug-A-Boo

Carter and what he calls his bug-a-boo were cuddling while watching t.v. together. Mommy had to take a picture, they looked so cute!

The Ice Cream Man!

After all the kids ran after the ice cream truck, yelling and screaming, they all enjoyed their yummy treats!

She did it!

She did it! She rolled over today! Mommy was so proud of her! Can't wait for Daddy to see her do it! We miss him so much!

Work Then Play

Here they are swimming and "fixing" Carter's car (it just needed to be charged). They used hammers and screw drivers. Looking under the car and hood they fix whatever looks broken. =) They are very hard workers! After a long hard day of work (a half hour) they start it up and it works! Done with the work, now let's play!

Carter's Buddies

Carter calls all of his friends "Buddy" because he can't remember their names very well. Here is a picture of them (three more kids who usually play with them are not pictured).

Our House

Hi Everyone!

Well, we arrived at Fort Campbell on July 25th. It's hot here, but we are SLOWLY getting use to it. Carter has already made some friends and they play everyday. There is a group of seven kids and they usually get a baseball team going. Carter is the one who always tells the kids what position they are playing...go figure :) It is very cute to watch and we all share a backyard, which is really nice. I have met some of the neighbors, who all very friendly. Aralynn is still doing her usual thing...eat, sleep, poop, smile, and growing like a weed!

We miss everyone so much and can't wait to go back to Minnesota in December.
