Happy Happy Birthday Carter!!!!

I can't believe that Carter is 2 already, where does the time go!! Hard to imagine him small, (if you consider 8lbs 4oz small) But luckily I have the pictures to prove it! He is only 2 and weighs in at 37.5lbs!! (We are investing in the NFL already. We joke that Carter won't just be a lineman, but he is going to play the entire line!) Unfortunately he didn't have the greatest of birthdays. We ended up spending the afternoon in the doctors office with double ear infections... BOO!!! But even with that he has been a fairly happy boy. He really is such a happy kid and has been since birth. If I could be guaranteed that all my children from here on out would have the same disposition as Carter I would have 10!!! Don't get me wrong he is as busy as they come, and definitely has his moments, but he is so cute and such a joy that its hard to get mad at him! His motto really is "Fat and Happy"! Anyway he has really been such a blessing in our lives and it makes me so sad to see him growing up so fast!! We sure do love our Chub! Happy Birthday Buddy!! The chub, what a great smile!!!

He doesn't even look the same, but he was sure cute then too!

FISH!

We have Fish!!! The boys completed all of there goals last year and the pay off was Fish! This is actually old news, we have had the fish for about 4 weeks now and shockingly they are all still alive! We got six fish (one for each member of the family). My sister let us borrow her tank because they had too many helpers feeding the fish and couldn't keep them alive. The names keep changing depending in the boys moods or what there are thinking of at the moment. We have set all new goals for this year and Uncle Jeff convinced the boys that the pay off would be a puppy!!! YA RIGHT!!! We have finally settled on a rabbit (or a guinea pig depending on when you ask Cole). Uncle Jeff can place an opinion on the pay off when he finally sets his goals!?! Here are a few pics of the team! Here are their fish faces. Carter is fascinated with sticking his hand in the water (even more shocking that we have all of them alive).
More Fish faces!!!
