Carter had a wonderful birthday!!! All three of us woke him up with singing.

 Then Carter enjoyed his door decorations.

 Was very excited about his new dump truck and decorations down stairs.

 We made blue pancakes for breakfast.

 We then went to the zoo with our friends.

 Then we met up with daddy at the park for a McDonald's picnic.

After daddy got off work we went to Applebee's for dinner.  They even sang to Carter he was very cute and turned red.

Gift time. 

 The cutest spider man cake ever.

Playing with one of his new toys.

We had an awesome day.  We just had his party this last Saturday so I will post those pictures next.  Carter's 2 year appointment went great.  The doctor is so impressed with how great he is doing he weighs 27lbs 30% and 35.5 inches 78%.  We love you Carter!! Happy Birthday!!

Carter is 2!!!!

No no no it can't be true our little guy is really 2???

Carter turned the big 2 today!

He is such a fun little guy that keeps us really busy.  I will have to say that he is much more mellow then his sister and less "drama" but he sure can climb and gets into more things.  He loves running water and washing his hands we find him in the bathroom a lot.  He also loves to push stools over to the counters and be a part of what ever we are doing.  He has found a love for coloring he holds the crayons perfect.  He walks around saying, "color, color, color?"  His all time favorite things are still cars.  He loves having some kind of car, truck, motorcycle (anything with wheels) in his hands at all times.  Whenever he goes to play-dates, mom's club, or church he runs straight to the cars.  Carter has been saying new things every day.  He calls Aubrey, sissy and is always looking for her, "where sissy?"  His favorite cartoon is Cat in the Hat he calls it "go go".  He sings along to the theme song.  He also loves all Dr. Seuss books.  He is having a Cat in the Hat themed birthday party next week.  He loves putting on his own shoes especially his rain boots but he also puts on our shoes too.  He loves fruit and chicken nuggets.  We have his 2 year appointment next Monday so I will post stats then.  We love you Carter and you make our hearts melt when we see you smile and laugh.

Happy Birthday Carter!!!!      

Carter's Early Birthday Celebration

Last Sunday we went up to Sonora for the day to be with family and see mom since she just had surgery.  Mom is doing great and it surprised us how good she was at getting around.  We decided since this is Carter's Birthday week we should do an early celebration.  Carter was so so so excited!! To say he loves his new car is an understatement.  He spends hours playing with it.  If he is not sleeping he is either driving his car around the backyard or opening and closing the door on the patio.  A perfect gift our little, CARter! 

We thought it would be fun to have an early mother's day too.

Mom found the cutest car cake ever! You can only imagine just how excited Carter got!

Aubrey has been so excited about Carter's Birthday.  She asks me every day, "is it almost Carter's Birthday?"  "When is Cart's party?" What a great big sister.

Thanks Nana and Papa for a wonderful Sunday we love you very much.

Fun Around Town

We have had a great spring so far.  The weather has been awesome and we have an enjoyed many meals outside:

                                     Aubrey and I have been loving the craft days at Micheal's:

     We got memberships to our local science museum again this year and have enjoyed a couple trip there:

     In honor of Earth day we made one of our favorite desserts, dirt:

              Last weekend we had Titi over which was a blast! Our local "live" theater has been putting on an adorable 5 week series called Pinklings.  It's perfect for kids 2-5 and Aubrey was in heaven!

Gilroy Gardens

On Saturday April 21st our family of four went to Gilroy Gardens for the day.  We had such a blast having season passes last year so it was a must have again for this year.  It was an awesome day and we can't wait to go all summer long.

 After playing all day we spent a little time at the outlets and then had a BBQ dinner at Famous Dave's.
