Music lessons

One of Carter's favorite shows is Little Einsteins. I like it better than a lot of the other kid shows. I thought that Carter probably enjoyed Rocket and Big Jet more than the music lessons they give. I keep forgetting that the brains on these little 3 year olds are sponges.

Carter was peeing standing up (like Dad). He was pushing out the pee as fast as he could, so the pee was ricocheting everywhere.
"Carter you need to slow down," I told him.
His reply: "But Mom, I need to go adagio."

How can I argue with that? I took piano lessons for several years, and my 3 year old knows more music terminology than I do. Splash away, Carter...Adagio!

Mesa Verde

On the way back from the cabin we thought we would stop really quick to see Mesa Verde. It wasn't a quick stop. It took about 3 hours to just see one of the sights, but it was really cool. Next time we will probably spend an entire day there.

More Reunion

On the 24th we went to the parade and carnival in a little town called Manassa. Carter doesn't look excited in the picture, but he loved riding the kids train. He rode it twice.I though he might be scared of the ferris wheel, but when we were at the top, it was me that was a little nervous.

On the ride back, Carter found some swimming goggles that Uncle Jordan helped him put on.
The bestpicture I could get of Jordan...

Family Reunion

We went to Southern Colorado over the 24th for my annual family reunion. It took us about 10 hours to get there, but once we were there it was really fun.


Festivities started off with a parade. Carter helped decorate some of the floats.

Here is Kelly and Eli taking some rest time in between activities.
Next we had a field day. Carter didn't really perform that well, but he enjoyed his fifth place ribbons in every event.
This is a pic of my little sister Jessica and my cousins Sarah and Becca.
Carter attempting to smash his first pinata. I think he has hit his brother harder than he hit that spongebob.
