4 years ago!

i can't believe that 4 years ago i became a mom, mommy, mama, mother, whatever you call it! i've kinda gotten teary eyed today just thinking how great it is to be a mom and how much i LOVE my carter boy. i remember being very nervous to have a boy and it was totally LOVE at first site for this little guy. we love him so much and he keeps us on our toes. carter is so passionate about so many things and i know his personality will help him be a strong young man one day. we love you carter! happy bday!

carter got to take cookies and caprisuns to preschool and then after we went to chick filet for lunch

we had a small bday bbq at our house to celebrate carter's big 4!

the spread

some of the peeps


no party is complete w/o a pinata. carter's fav color is green, so we had a green themed party and everyone wore green and we had green dinner ware n stuff. they didn't have any cool green pinatas, so the best option was a $100 bill.

happy bday carter!

he went thru opening gifts in like 2 secs, the green power ranger was a hit (thanks ohlsons)!

had to try on the spiderman costume from aunt dawna & uncle craig

ava and laura are in town for a visit, and ava was so cute going thru the house collecting balloons

the fam (sad that we have to have cookies in their hands to get them to take a pic:)!

Maverick is also obsessed with the color green! Everything has to be green, it is the only color he will color with.

thanks for having us! owen asked me . . . why does carter have so many birthdays? this can only mean we don't see each other enough. if he thinks every time we see each other it is for carters b-day. or does it mean it's a party whenever we all are together?? i'll hope for the latter.
