Happy Birthday Carter Rhys!

It's hard to believe my baby is two! Yesterday was Carter's birthday and Dave was able to get it off so the four of us went up to Rocky to spend some time together, go for a little hike or two, have a picnic and enjoy the beautiful weather. We had a great time!

We're having more of a little party for him with some of the grandparents next Friday, so no cake eating pictures til then. However, we did get each of the boys a treat at the chocolate factory for the occasion and went to dinner with Grandma and Grandpa when we got home. Today was also Carter's first day at preschool so we brought cupcakes for him to share with the class. Lots of treats for the birthday boy this week!

Sprinkler Fun

Yesterday I thought we might go up Poudre Canyon to picnic rock so we could play in the river, throw some rocks and have a picnic; then our plans changed. In running a couple errands before leaving town I had to check the truck engine light for the second time in two weeks, took it to a place that our oil changing place recommended to get an estimate on what's wrong, blah blah blah (it's all fixed now, thanks to Meineke who were not the ones to do the estimate!). So anyway, they brought the boys and I home while they kept the truck for a few hours to check it and then brought it back home for me. So, since I already had lunched packed we turned on our sprinkler hose and ran through that instead. After getting wet we ate our lunch out under a tree in our greenbelt out back. I had to hold Carter to get him to get wet, he liked sitting in the chair better. Brendan and I had fun running through though and he's great with his jumps!

Baseball Game, sorry no pics

Hi everyone,

Well, Dave had gotten tickets to the Rockies game for yesterday so we went for the first time in two years and had fun. Brendan was really good and actually watched more of the game than he ever has in the past and Carter was a little cranky since it was during naptime and only got a short nap on the way down but I did manage to get him to watch a little bit and get excited when the Rocks got two homeruns and still lost. About half way through, I was very dissappointed to learn when I tried to take some pictures of the boys all decked out in their Rockies outfits that I had not recharged any of my camera batteries like I had thought. Some are charged and the rest are charging as I write this. So maybe what I'll do is take some pics after I clean those clothes and then post them, because they are just such cute little guys in their Rockies clothes.
