My man turned the big 33!!!

So, I had every intention of making a nice birthday blog for Carter, telling you all the things I love about him and then....... Frank the Tank showed up!!! This is one of our Good Friends from Cedar, who decided to show up in his Ragnar running outfit for Carter's birthday surprise!!! And Boy were we surprised!!! I thought this picture just illustrated the kind of people that are drawn to Carter because of his fun loving personality!!!! I love it, life is NEVER dull!!! Carter is certainly one of a kind and we are lucky to have him as a husband and dad!!!!

Happy Birthday, Baby!!! We love you!

Our Baby is 5!!!!

I cannot believe how much our baby has grown!!! He has sure been one exciting, fun kid!!! Here are a few of my favorite things about Cooper:

1. I love his missing tooth smile!!

2. I love that he talks about himself in 3rd person. "Cooper wants some applejuice, please." :-)

3. I love to snuggle with him!!

4. I love his honesty! "Mom! Brush you teeth, you have BAD Breath!!"

5. I love to see him play with his friends, he's such a fun kid!

6. I love him with or without his curly hair!

Happy Birthday, Buddy!!! We love you!!!!

SURPRISE!!!!

I was just updating my blog, when Carter, Cooper, and Porter came strolling into the office with NEW HAIRCUTS!! Don't they look SOOOO Handsome!!! They were all going to grow it out, but I Love their cute faces so much that I hated how long it was getting, so Carter surprised me with these handsome mugs!!! Seriously, THE BEST SURPRISE!!! I'd take that over flowers ANY day!!

Wrestling Season!!!

Porter had no problem jumping right back into wrestling... He loves it, but he's sore today! (I'm guessing this kid might be too!)

I think we may have found a sport that Cooper won't skip in!!! Wahoo!! At first he was doing his usual somersaults, but once the "wrestling" part began, I was shocked!!! He locked right on and didn't give up!

And Hutcher, well he's got the eye of the tiger, baby!!! He sees his poor little opponent and goes for him! Poor kid left crying. :( Hopefully learns to save that energy for competition and can be a little kinder to his teammates!

Blue and Gold Banquet

Porter had his blue and gold banquet last night for scouts, and it was AMAZING!!! Seriously! Check out the outstanding decorations and awesome cake!!! What a FUN night! Porter earned his Bear, which is quite an achievement!!! There were skits, games, music, food galore, and did I mention fun, fun, fun!!! Thanks to all who put so much effort into a great night!!

I'm Baaaack!! Let's talk about Porter 1st!

Since Wrestling season begins for the 3 boys in 2 days, I thought I should pop back on here and post about basketball season. Porter has one game left and has had a GREAT year!! He LOVES to steal the ball and isn't afraid to get pushed around a bit. It was SO exciting to watch him play!!! He still has such a good heart... if he knocked someone over he'd stop playing to help him up. :-) I loved that.... Carter... not so much.
