Sweet baby brother

I feel like I haven't given updates on my precious little Carter in a while, so I thought I would share some things!

He loves his momma... he started saying momma about a month ago and it melts my heart every time! He can also say hey and Whoa. He mostly speaks in his own little language. He also claps and waves bye-bye.

He getting inside Will's Handy Manny ball pit and especially loves to throw balls!
He will be walking before long. He is alllllll over the place right and loves to pull up on anything and everything. He is getting the hang of standing and likes to walk while we hold his hands.
Here he is climbing in the ball pit...
Almost there...


Success... he got the soccer ball!

Now after throwing it out, he is ready to get out.

Love that sweet face!!!OUT and on to better things!
Will woke up and came to play... Carter would follow him to the moon and back. He loves his big brother and gets so excited when they play together. In the picture below, he just wanted the ball from Will's hand :)!
Love this picture ;). Pretty blue eyes! He is a sweet natured little guy, who rarely fusses and loves to play.

He enjoyed a Nutrigrain bar... can you tell??? No more baby food for this little guy... he turn his head and if we try to get him to take a bite he gags and spits it out. I don't blame him though; real food is much better!
His hair is getting curly and momma is so excited :)!!! I may never cut it...
He also loves his daddy very, very much. He yells at him when he doesn't pay him enough attention.
Here, he would like Will's succer!

And I threw one in of the big brother... two children on the go is busy, but very fun!



2 year checkup

We went for Will's 2 year checkup last Monday. Here are his stats:

3 feet tall
33 pounds
90th %
BMI - 75%

Will was excited, as usual, to get a dum dum succer and see his friend, Mrs. Cheryl, although, he did not want anything to do with the doctor.

Eddie and I got some rude awakenings this past weekend! When it was raining Saturday morning, I was getting ready for work and Eddie and I looked outside to find out little guy running around in the rain in a t-shirt and diaper. He had a blast and was very upset when we made him come back inside. We also found out on Sunday that he can crawl out of his crib... he walked downstairs and said "Hey da-da"... NAP TIME is forever changed! We knew that it would happen, but not so soon! We will be putting him in a big boy bed soon :(! This made us realize, even though we already knew, that we don't have a baby anymore!!! I did not get pictures, but so wish that I had!

Here are a couple of really cute pictures of my little 2 year old from his party, not included in the previous post with his party pictures. Love him :)!

Party time :)!

We had such a great time on Saturday celebrating Will's 2nd birthday! The weather was great and the kiddos all had a great time running around outside!

Here is the little man's cake. I thought it turned out really cute and it was delicious!
This is the only picture that I got of the food/gift table... I was a chicken with my head cut off that day!
My mom was trying to get Will on the slide... he thought it was hilarious that she was on there, but wanted no part of it!


Happy Birthday to me :)!



Carter having lunch and a drink before everyone arrived with his Nana


Momma and the little birthday prince... I can't believe he is 2. He was a handsome little thing that day, and as usual, did not care a thing about photos :)!

This is sweet Ella Pollan. She is always the only girl at all of our events, but she jumps right in with the boys!
Isn't she beautiful?!?!
Aunt Sissy and Carter... gotta love the baby blues!
My PRECIOUS family. I have such handsome boys, if I do say so myself :)!
Cash, Will and Porter eating pizza.

A sweet group of kiddos!
Will and Brayden. Brayden and Will are BFF's... they have gone to the same babysitter since they were two months old and have a ball together!
Aunt Amy and sweet Cash... I love this child! He is a mess!!!
Ella was the first one on the slide... little spitfire and such a cutie!

Aunt Sissy, Aunt Amy, Cash and Carter.... Carter just wanted Cash's cookie. He hung out with people that would feed him the good stuff Saturday.


Will calls our friend Shae, "Shae-Shae". They came and stayed with us the night before Will's party and Will and Porter had a ball. He is an adorable and precious child!
Will on his new John Deere tractor. It was/is a hit!

Brayden followed him on the 4-wheeler.
And then decided to ride in the wagon :)

Happy Birthday, precious Will!
Will did not want anywhere near those candles... he whispered, "hot, hot"!
His cousin, Cash, came to his rescue. Thanks, Cash

Digging in... YUM

This is my precious nephew, Brylin! He is such a wonderful baby and an adorable one, at that. I love his pretty eyes and eyelashes!
Present time... we were not able to get a lot of photos of him opening presents; however, he loved everything!



Reed and Ella on the John Deere tractor; too sweet!

Reed on the tractor... he is such a cute and precious little boy! I love his sweet grin! We can't wait to celebrate his birthday in a couple of weeks!
Reed's little brother, Chase. He is such a precious little guy, as well... I am so happy I got to love on him! What a little cutie and chunky monkey :)!

Daddy and Carter winding down


Will and Cash on the slide... it took a long time to get this birthday boy calmed down! He had a blast and loved having so many great people at his house. Thanks to everyone for making his day so special!

Future turf man and sweet prayers

Will wants to be just like his daddy... he is his hero. He helped daddy and 4 men that work for daddy put in a drainage system, last Sunday. He was big helper. Working hard...
He was burning up shoveling dirt. Love it...


Before Carter and I ate lunch on Sunday, we said the blessing... God is great :)!

My boys are in SUCH a fun stage right now... life is good :)!

We can't wait for Will's party tomorrow.... YAY!
