Sweet boy's

Carter sure loves being a big brother, here is holding Jack's hand and walking to the car after school. For the most part they do get along but they do have there moments where they are beating each other up.

Carter the Daredevil

Carter lately has been really into helping Rob with his racecar and getting everything ready to go raceing, lately he has been taking his bike, 4 wheeler and hooking them up to the back of Rob's truck or trailer to pretend he is going raceing. here he has a bike and he managed to hook the handle to Rob's hitch. He is so smart.

Carter and Jack

These boy's have become the best of friends ( sometimes) They sure do like to wrestle and fight but usually they get along pretty good. here they are taking a break and watching some TV. Jack is such a ham as soon as he saw the camera he is saying CHEESE,

Carter wanted this guitar so bad and he thought you could buy them but it was a game you had to play, you had to get a dart on this star and it only took Rob 2 games at $5.00 each to finally win this for Carter

Fair 2009

Carter loved driving these cars, he went on them over and over again. I am glad we bought him thr unlimited wristband. We had a nice evening at the fair poor Jack is to little to go on any of the rides but next year he should be able to.

Fearless Jack

Jack wanted to go down all the water slides so Rob would take him up and then he went down and I would be there to catch him but he did not want my help so here he is at the end of the water slide. He absolutely loved it.

Here is a picture of Carter at his first T- Ball practice. He is the one that is batting. It was so much fun to watch him. All the kids are so fun to watch and carter is actually pretty good. Most of his practices have been cancelled because it has been so cold and this Sat the 25th is his first game at 12:00. I am so excited.

Happy Easter

We took the boys to see the Easter Bunny on Sun afternoon, and after waiting in line for 30 minutes they brought the bunny out and Carter ran over and gave him a big hug and a high five so I thought all would be good for picture time, I guess I was wrong!!!!! Jack gave the bunny a high five also but when I put him on his lap he screamed and cried and Carter got scared also and would not go near the bunny until our good friends showed up and we got back in line again and then Carter sat there but not on his lap.
Happy Easter to all...

Jack swim lessons

One of us had to be in the water with Jack and it was me, I thought for sure he would love it but I was wrong, he was scared at first and really clung to me and then towards the end he has having fun. He would actually put his face in the water and blow bubbles and kick his legs and splash.

Carter swim lessons

Tonight was the first night of swim lessons for Carter and Jack. This is a picture of Carter with his teacher ( They are in the middle of the picture) We had to watch from up above at the YMCA. We could not be down by the pool so I walked Carter out there and he gave me a kiss and said Good Bye Mom. He did such a good job.

Carter the rock Star

This morning Carter wanted to listen to Kid Rock on the computer so I turned it on and at first he was standing on the chair and while I went to the kitchen for more coffee I came back to him standing on the desk playing his pretend guitar and rocking out, he knows all the words to sweet home alabam by kid rock. Jack was also participating he was standing on the floor dancing and banging his head. I think I have 2 rockstars on my hands.

The Bunny

At sharp they have a REAL bunny that you can have your picture taken with so we did. Carter loved the bunny he kept on talking to him and petting him while Jack kept on trying to pull his fur.

Carter and Jack

I finally took Jack in for his one year pictures even though he is 14 months. Carter wanted to have his pictures taken also. They turned out really nice.

My Beautiful Boy's

After we got home from Target yesterday Jack had fallen asleep on the way home so I carried him in and Carter wanted to hold him so he sat on the couch and held Jack so I could take a picture and as I was putting my stuff away Carter decided he was done holding Jack and set him on the floor. At least he set him down and did not drop him.

The Duck Game

Jack is trying so hard to decide which duck to pick.. He had some help from Grandpa and had more fun splashing in the water.

Tatoo time

Here is Carter, Jack and Kendra ( she is Carter's girlfriend at school) they are all picking out there tatoos that they want.

Carter's School Carnival

Carter had a carnival at his school last night and Rob and I volunteered to work from 6-7 I got to work at the duck game which I have to say was quite fun and relaxing while poor Rob had to work at the inflatable jumping thing and bot was he busy with all the kids. He kept looking at him and asking me to switch so I finally did. What a fun but exhausting night. This is Carter doing the ring toss and Jack is coming over to participate as well.

Carter and Brady

Carter kept on asking me if he could hold baby bardy who is 6 weeks old so I had him sit in the boat and he did such a good job with him. Carter kept on kissing his head and Brady just sat there and never even made a peep. Carter is so good with him, Jack however was kinda jealous and kept on trying to poke Brady's eyes out.

Carter and Ella

Carter and Ella are having there pretend lunch at the Childrens Museum. It sure looks yummy...

Childrens Museum

They Boy's and I went to the Childrens Museum for Valnetines day since Rob is out in Colorado skiing. Jack sure loved to drive this car and have Carter as his passenger. They are making a stop at the bank for some money. We sure had a fun time. Our good friends joined us.. Lori, Ella and Brady...

Looking for Animals outside

After we were done inside we got to go outside and look for animals and there tracks. Ruth the guide found some tracks and went to look at them she pointed them out to all the kids and the kids had to guess what it was... It hopped so they all guesse a bunny but the tracks disappeared and went up a tree... It was a squirrel. It was such a beautiful day to be out there. We are looking forward to going back this summer.

Carter and Kendra

Carter and Kendra smelling the skin of a stinky skunk....

Carter school field trip to Beaver Creek

Today Carter got to on a field trip to Beaver Creek Reserve and of course I volunteered to go along. We had such a wonderful time there. In this picture Carter is petting Fancy the turtle.

Carter and Jack playing in the bath

carter and Jack sure love taking there baths together. Carter thinks it is pretty funny to put bubbles all over Jack's face to make him look like he has a beard or Santa. Jack was laughing so hard at Carter last night in the bath I wish I would have had my video camera.

Jack's 1st Birthday party

We had Jack's 1st birthday party on Jan 18th with our family and friends. Jack had alot of help opening his gifts from Carter and Ella Borg. It was a really nice day. This is a picture of the cake I got for Jack to eat himself and we also had a another cake for the guests.

Jack's First Haircut

Well I finally had to break down and get Jack his first haircut. It was getting pretty long so we all went to our good friend Amy and she got to cut Jack's hair. He sat on my lap in the chair and cried most of the time. I should have had Carter go first and maybe it would not have been so bad but who knows. He sure looks like a little boy now.

Jack trying to walk

Jack has been trying so hard to walk. Last night he would walk from me to Rob and then back. Carter thinks it is pretty cool having his little brother walk.

Jack Turns "1"

Well the time has come and my little boy has turned one. Jack turned on Jan 6th. I cannot believe how the year has flown by. He is getting to be such a big boy with such a wonderful personality. On Fri night he started to walk on his own, he would walk from me to Rob and then back and we did this several times so it will not be long and he will be walking.
On Thurs he had his one year checkup and he now weighs 24 lbs and 9ozs and is 2 feet 5 inches tall. He is such a handsome little boy. We are having his birthday party Sun Jan 18th with some friends and family.
