What's wrong with Carter's toys?

First off, I never thought that my den would look like this. It looks like to toy fairy threw up there. I guess this wouldn't be so bad is Carter liked HIS toys, but it seems like even with all of the toys he has, he would rather play with non-toys! You can see some examples below! assortment of toys for Carter

The handle on the entertainment center is more fun.
So is the TV remote.

and hangers.

Bath time fun!

Carter really loves his bath, but he drives me crazy trying to stand up! Here a few pictures of Carter's bathtime tonight.

all clean!

The beautiful rainbow we saw when we walked out. You can't tell in this picture, but it was a double rainbow, a perfect end to a birthday party for twins!

Basketball Star

Today Carter and I went to see the star basketball player "Uncle Colt" play his last game. Even though they didn't win, Colt did a great job!

30 memories for my 30th birthday

Boy, I can hardly believe that I am 30. It seems like I was just turning 20. For this monumental occasion I sat down and thought of 30 memories of my 30 years on this Earth. Some are random, sad, funny and special. Here they are in no particular order....

1. Watching Miss America with my Grandma. She would call me her "Miss America"



2. The time my grandmother took me to Six Flags and we waited in line FOREVER for the Judge Roy Scream and then I got too scared to go on it.



3. Playing "spy" with Cody, Brad and Stacy.



4. My aunt(and Stacy until her poor scalp was red) letting me fix their hair.



5. My grandpa asking me if I want some "gummy, gummy."





6. Kris proposing to me on the Ferris Wheel at Navy Peir.





7. Seeing Colt for the first time in the hospital with his long fingers.





8. Falling down the hill at Enchanted Rock.





9. Impressing Kris with my mad bowling skills on our first date.





10. Buying the cheap Walgreens pregnancy test, taking it, seeing the positive lines, then rushing back to Walgreens to find a more expensive 3 pack of tests, going through the same line with the same cashier (telling her "I just want to make sure") and getting 3 more positive tests.





11. When I used to make Heather sleep with the hall light on. She would turn it off and I would scream for Bev.





12. All the George Strait concert and annual shopping trips Erica and I went on. The most memorable was when Erica was 7 1/2 months pregnant with the twins. I was scared she was going to go in labor! Other memories include sharing a twin size bed and the poor racoon to name a few!





13. When they brought Carter into my room, 2 hours after he was born, and I got to see his beautiful face.





14. My first day teaching 2nd grade. I hit my head on the overhead screen and almost fell over!





15. Spending the night in the hospital when Carson, Emma and Ella were born.





16. Crying as my family drove away my first night alone at UT.





17. Erica and Charity's cat fight in the back seat.





18. The first time I drove my car (aka brown boat) by myself. I felt such a sense of freedom.





19. The way my dad would put on my socks when I was a little girl.





20. Kris calling me his "Crazy Girl" in college.





21. My grandma taking me and Brad to see Benji. I remeber she bought us candy necklaces.





22. Seeing the 6 week 3 day heart of Carter beating on the sonogram.





23. The time the tornado sirens went off and dad was at work and me, mom and baby Cody went into the bathtub. I am STILL afraid of tornados.





24. Serving lunch in the soup kitchen in the Broncs.





25. The time Erica and I snuck out of Charity's house to go to a party, and Erica had to bribe Charity not to tell her mom by giving her her new walkman.





26. Picking out the cutest beagle puppy from the huge selection.





27. Singing the Eyes of Texas at my first UT football game.





28. Vesper's Point at Church Camp.





29. When I made Jessica buy me the flower ring in Austin- way too many Mexica Margaritas....





30. Paying to get a sonogram to find out the baby's gender, and seeing the "sign" of a boy!


and one tp grow on........

31. My mom waking me up saying "Sunshine lady, time to wake up." The older I got the more unpleasant the reaction, but now it is so special.

Happy Valentine's Day and a Happy Birthday too!

Carter had a great first Valentine's Day! After a long nap, he went up to the school for Colt's party. That was exciting for me because I got to show him off! After school we went to our favorite place to run with Stacy and Tolson. Carter's favorite part was playing on the playground afterwards. It was so neat, because today was the first time Carter really played on the playscape. He loved crawling to the slide and then going down it! Below are some Picts.

Also, today is a special day for the Stewart family. It is Emma and Ella's 2nd birthday. It is hard to believe that these are pictures I took2 years ago! What a special day it was. Happy birthday sweet girls!

First Mavs Games!

Wednesday Carter went to his first Maverick's game with my mom, Colt, Erica, Sam, Caden and Carson. A always, it was an adventure! We started the night meeting at McDonalds, so we could get out free Value Meal that came with our tickets. While we were there a random man came up and said, "Look at that baby! That baby eats pork chops. That is a big boy, he eats pork chops and mashed potatoes. Yes, he is going to grow up and be a football player. That boy who eats porkchops and mashed potatoes is going to be something special." There was a lot more that he said, that I asked Erica to try to remeber, so I couls quote it. It was so funny. After we ate me made the drive to the game. We parked in our usual spot under the bridge. It was quite a walk! Luckily I brought the Baby B'jorn, but my 22+ pound baby was still heavy. He loved being in the Baby B'jorn, it had been a while since I used it, but he was kicking his feet and was so happy! Carter was absolutly mesmerized by the game he loved all of the action, and sat pretty good. He liked being held by Sam, Erica and my mom. We all had a great time and the Mavs won- yea! Carter, Carson, Colt and Cade at McDonalds. I only had my old camera, so the picts are not good!
