Carty at the Clubhouse

 Since Andrew is now in school 5 days a week, I'm getting a few days alone with my little Carty! We went to the clubhouse for lunch last week and he was hamming it up for the camera. He's finally started smiling and saying cheese when I ask him to (well, when he feels like it).

Girls Girls Girls

We went to lunch at the club house for my friend Kara's birthday and the drama that occurred was a whole other blog post in itself! But the kids had a great time and were none the wiser..... as usual, the girls chased Andrew and he tried to fight them off with light sabers!! One day Andrew, you have no idea how much you'll miss this.

On their iphones, what is happening to this generation?!?!

King of the Hill

Every night when Chad gets home, he takes the boys out to play in the sprinklers. I love to watch their different personalities dictate how they play..... Andrew cautiously run through them after waiting a while to get the nerve while Carter goes full force through them! He even sticks his head and feel right at the base where the high power water literally blows his skin around, love this boys spirit!

Silly Carty

We've been out of town all weekend and I have missed my little Carty so much! I'm doing a post all about him because I just can't get enough of the little guy tonight and think he's so darn cute! 

Eating Panera Cinnamon Crunch bagels (dipping them in the hazelnut cream cheese!) The boy has good taste!

My favorite thing about this picture is that it was 6:30am, the sun was just rising and he's already getting his riding gear on!

Just happy to be alive....... love this boy!!!

Charapatas In Chattanooga Day 4

On our last day, we went to the Aquarium then came home for nap time and some adult beverages! Ashley developed a love for my camera and I let her run around with it after a few drinks. I have loved looking at the candid moments she snapped and the awful faces we were making when we weren't expecting a 5 year old with a camera! I deleted over 50 of them but am posting the fun ones that won't embarrass anyone too bad!
