Is it Bath Time yet?

Dirty Boy + Bath Tub of Water = A Sparkling Clean Baby

Carter was so excited about getting a bath tonight that he climbed in all by him self while the tub was still filling up.

He was just having a blast in there.

Oops! One little oversight

How can you blame an innocent little face like his?

A Pet Post

We have been puppy sitting for the Beams while they are in Austin. Cougar is just like family now. He and Kaydee get along great. Their favorite thing in the whole world is...(that's it you guessed it) WALKS!

Andrew takes them about the same time every night. They really start anticipating it. There they are waiting by the bedroom door while Andrew is in putting on his shoes. Andrew had the door shut, they just stayed there waiting for him to come out and get them all harnessed up.


Corbin really likes taking them for a run around the house before the go. The dogs are not always very patient with these delays, but they put up with it well enough.

You know Kaydee has had enough when she starts pulling on her's or Cougars leash to get them headed in the direction of the door.


We can't leave out mentioning our new fish. We got the Castle and Red Dragon for Valentines. We also got two new fish, bringing us up to five: Molly, Max, Spencer, James and Stephanie. Corbin had a very hard time naming the new white fish. We couldn't come up with a name that he liked. He came up with Stephanie on his own.

Aunt Amelia Visits

My oldest sister Amelia came to visit the first week of Feb. She wasn't able to come when the rest of my family came. The boys were especially thrilled to have company.

have I mentioned that Carter really likes Boxes?

We had to take the traditional trip to Chuck E Cheese.

Riding the Carousal




The boys love anything they can pretend to drive



Take Out Chinese Food
Corbin experiments with Chopsticks.

Carter just scarfs everything down


Trip to Texas' Capital

We stayed in Austin to be closer to the airport. We went to see the State Capital Building. It is the largest capital building in the nation. It is allowed to be taller than all the others since Texas was its own nation before joining the US, or something. I am not a history buff. Anyway, Texans just feel that gives us right to be better than everyone else or something.


This is taken with the camera on the floor looking up at the ceiling of the capital building.


The highlight of our trip was getting to visit with our friends the Beams whose baby is in the hospital. We hope they get to come home soon.

Corbin talked non-stop about Connor the next few days. He was very disappointed we did not go back and see him again.

The Beams showed us all around. They are staying at the Ronald McDonald House

Our kids had fun in the children's play centers.
Connor pushed Corbin around on the stretcher.

Carter got his first MRI. He did very well


It was late when we got back to the hotel, but Amelia and Corbin still wanted to go for a swim.

Carter was exhausted. He never stirred even with Corbin running around, and the TV and lights on.

We were all up early the next morning to tell Amelia goodbye. Thanks for coming to visit. It means alot to us all.


While we were packing up to go Carter opened the dresser, put in his blanket and teddy, and snuggled up to get some extra ZZZZZZZ's

Petting Farm

The Tractor Supply Store by our house hosts an annual petting zoo. It was great. Carter is especially into animals right now. He was so cute with all of them. They were very friendly. They let the kids right into the pens with the animals. I got a little worried when he tried to hug the pig. The pig laid down and rolled onto its back like he was having the time of his life.

Carter makes a really funny sound for cows.
