Boo at the Zoo

Friday night my parents took Carter and my nephew Camden to Boo at the Zoo. Mom said Carter had fun, but Camden was scared of everything and hardly let my dad put him down. I assume thats why he's not looking at the camera in any of the pics, because he was too concerned with his surroundings. Mom tried to get Camden to get his picture with Aubie and he said "I like Aubie Nonna, he's a good guy, but I dont want to take a pic with him." LOL, I thought that was so funny.

Fall Ball

Carter has been playing Fall Ball for the past 2 months and I have just been a blog slacker and not updated :) He has loved it, but I must say I am ready for a break. He practices 2 nights a week for 2 hours. That's a LONG time for a 4 year old. Joseph is coaching again and he is more ready than I am for a break. His last game is Thursday.

Pumpkin Patch

It is a beautiful day and Carter had a slight fever last night, so I kept him home just to be safe. He hasn't had one today, so hopefully it is over. I decided it was too pretty to sit inside and since Carter missed his class Pumpkin Patch trip I decided to take the kids today. They were wonderful and a had great time. However, it took Miss. Priss a while to warm up, then she didn't want to leave.

Carter was excited and actually let me take his picture


Bentley was not too sure


Nope, not feelin it


Lovin the Slide that he did about 100 times


Cheese


She wanted NOTHING to do with the inflatables, but kept checking to make sure he was coming


She would have sat on this swing all day


Carter found a perfect pumpkin for Bentley


She LOVED it


and wouldn't put it down

True Love

The lovebirds reunited yesterday for a playdate. Marlee Grace (MG) came to watch Carter play ball Sunday afternoon and his Granny told me he was on Cloud 9 while she was there. He hit the ball and took off running. After rounding the bases, he discovered his true love had disappeared. WELL, that's all it took and Joseph said he was downhill from there. Cried the whole way home for her and most of the night. I was not at the game, because I was at a baby shower. I called Marsha that night and asked if they could play. So, yesterday morning we went and picked her up. They were both SOOOO excited. As soon as we got here they went upstairs to the playroom and came down sporting these outfits.



I know this picture makes her parents proud. They are HUGE Auburn fans!! She told me her mommy would be mad at her, but she was wearing it for Carter. (True Love) Here they are bottomless in the candy basket after deciding it would be fun to jump on the trampoline in the rain. (They snuck out there while I was laying Bentley down)



They do not go to school together this year and it breaks my heart for them, but they pick up right where they left off evrytime. Wednesday nights at church, they NEVER seperate, not for 1 second. They hold hands and do whatever the other wants to do. (Usually Carter follows MG commands :)I'm so thankful for thier friendship!

Weekend with Best Friends

Friday night, we all got together because Jennifer was in town, so we all went to Kims to eat and play our yearly birthday version of Dirty Santa, where I came home with a CUTE scarf and necklace :) However, the biggest suprise of the night,Jennifer announced that she is ENGAGED!! Her ring is to die for...BEAUTIFUL! Saturday afternoon, we all got together again to watch the Alabama game. This time I wore my only Bama shirt, because a few weeks ago when we got together everyone was decked out in their "gear" and I was the only one who wasn't, well this time it was just me and Kim. (She looks much cuter in hers, with little baby Lilly in her belly, who will be here anyday now :)BTW- Jennifer is holding her dog under the blanket, hiding her from the kids her tortured her all afternoon...LOL



Carter trying on Jay's real helmet


These precious girlies played baby dolls, colored, and chased the dogs around all afternoon.


These two had a ball together and Carter would not smile, just insisted on this nice face

Brotherly Love

I was in my room folding some clothes and thought wow, they sure are quiet. Then I hear Bentley's famous SCREAM. Carter had taken her seat down, taken her dress off, and strapped her in. Then decided to dress her in socks and a superman cape. He said she was "In Jail" for being a whiny baby (in her defense it was her naptime). I couldn't resist the Kodak Moment :)

Fireman Carter????

The firemen came to Carter's school today to speak to them about fire safety. Like most little boys, he is all into firemen. This afternoon, he is more so than ever before. The whole way home he told me all about "stop, drop, and roll" how to crawl on the ground to stay below the smoke, check the door knob to see if its hot, ect. I was impressed with all that he learned and glad he paid attention :) As soon as we got home, the dressing up began......



He came downstairs wearing this and I must say I was hysterical, however, he gets an A+ for creativity. Heavy gear -check, gas mask -check, and helmet -check!
