New Years Day

Carter and I had a nice and relaxing day. Daddy headed off to the casino with friends, so Carter and I spent the morning at home and then headed to my mom's for the afternoon.
I am finding that during this break, I am getting a little obsessive about learning about my camera and then practicing with it. While Carter took his nap this morning I spent my time reading a website about my camera www.kenrockwell.com He has so much info that is SO interesting to me. Then when Carter woke up I practicied what I learned whil he played with his new train. Then when I got to my mom's house I practiced some more. Poor Carter!

Wrigley


He loves to make the trains go down the hill!



I love the natural light in our den!



Serious face



This is how the trains always end up!

The TV got his attention.



He always plays with his tounge.

Fenway

Watching the big boys playing outside.


Cheese



Colt got in trouble so he had to write sentences.





Build a Bear Adventure

Yesterday Carter and I met Ma at Build a Bear. I had these visions of Carter enthusiastically picking out an animal and getting into the whole process. I guess he is still a little young because it didn't go quite as I envisioned! Sorry the pictures are out of order...I don't know why Blogger does that sometimes!!

Picking out a heart!

I guess we'll take this cute puppy....

I pointed to each animal and asked, "Do you want this one?" He said no to each one, silly boy!

He preferred this Gymboree sack. He thought Ma had bought him a new coat, not our friends with a new baby!

picking out a brush

Giving his dog a bath

Doggie getting stuffed. He was scared of the loud noise!

Putting in his heart
He wanted his dog to have a basketball!

Then he found a guitar that he danced with and pretended to play. We decided his dog was going to be a rock star!




Brushing his dog.

He's all done! We asked Carter what he wanted to name him and he said "Buh" so that's what I put!

Playing on the computer

He wanted to carry the Gymboree bad instead of his new dog!

Oh! Cool! This is Carter's new excited face!

Carter found this car he wanted to climb into. The lady told him he was too big and he gave her this dirty look.

See, I'm not too big! Notice that Carter has 2 different socks on. He has a bad habbit of taking his shoes and socks off in the car. I couldn't find his other matching sock when I got to the mall. I could only find 2 mismatched socks!

I can fit!



Giving the lady another dirty look. He has been giving these to people lately. It's pretty embarassing!

Bye Build a Bear! I have my dog and my Gymboree sack!




Giving Buh a drink

Hanging out with Gage!

Carter and I got the chnce to catch up uo Shawna and Gage at the mall. Carter LOVED copying everything Gage did and kept patting the stroller beside him saying "bup" with in Carter language means, sit beside me. It was pretty cute!

Peek a boo!

The playground is fun!

Carter shared fruit snacks with Gage.

Carter is over the picture thing!

The boys loves playing with the train table at Barnes and Noble

Sweet Gage

Carter is really concentrating!
