Newborn Reese

Diana did these precious newborn shots of Reese when he was just 10 days old.

So sweet.

Family Pictures November 2011

We got together with my cousin Diana again a few weeks ago.

She did an amazing job!  Thanks Diana!

Did you know...

...that McKay picked himself up this beauty a few weeks ago?

Now he doesn't have to feel embarrassed pulling his awesome four wheeler around with his wife's not-so-awesome minivan.

Carter is TWO!

Yesterday Cater turned 2 years old.

It's just too weird having my kids grow up.  Where did my baby go?

We've been talking about his birthday for a few days now and he knew it was coming.  He was spoiled with hugs, kisses, and happy birthday wishes from the second he woke up.  

He kept saying "Happy birthday to you!" to remind me that it was his birthday.

It was such a fun day.

For breakfast the kids helped me surprise him with a birthday poptart.

Once the big kids were at school Carter got to help me make his cake.

He had so much fun in the kitchen with me. 

Crushing the cookies.

After crushing cookies Carter took his nap and I finished it up...keeping it a surprise for that night.

I had McKay pick up a pizza (Carter's FAVORITE) on his way home from work.

Carter always gets excited when he hears McKay get home, so I thought I'd catch it on camera.

Eating his pizza.

After dinner we had family over for cake and ice cream.

 Then he opened his gifts.

He got a pillow pet from Grandma.

Sydney has one from her 4th birthday so she grabbed it to show Carter how to use it.

Cute.

Two is a fun age.  It was great to see him understand what was happening and watch his eyes light up over and over again.

I love you Mr. Carter!

Super Citizen

Sydney was chosen as the Super Citizen in her class for the month of November.

This morning we got to go see her get her award.  She was so excited for Mom AND Dad to come.

After the ceremony they had Krispy Kremes and juice for the students.

Sydney "snuk" (is that how you spell that word??) one for Carter too.
