One good turn deserves another....: February 2009

Reese's Pieces anyone??

Funny funny story that I have to share with you all. I went grocery shopping on Friday, and my treat was a box of Reese's Pieces. I had not had Reese's Pieces in such a long time that I had to have them. Well I sort of forgot about them, and a couple days later, I saw them in my purse. I was going to munch on them, and this little boy came walking up to me and started snacking on my Reese's Pieces. Well after dad noticed that Carter got some, dad needed some too. I instructed Carter to take some to dad....

"Carter can you take these to dad?"

"Yah"

(I put them in his hand, he walks towards dad)

(abruptly stops)

Says "Dad"

(Dad reaches out for his treat)

Carter gobbles them up and returns for more.

I thought it was the funniest thing, dad not so much. Well the best part was, that was all we had left so dad didn't get any of them. Oh too funny!

Meds....you gotta love meds!

I had my wisdom teeth out, and meds are like my best friend lately. I thought I was doing good, until Carter hit me with his head and now I have a nice tooth ache! But the best part is I didn't get put under, so I didn't get sick from general anesthetic and I had an OK weekend of rest and relaxation! The best part is I will never have to have my wisdom teeth out again, cause the two that are left, are doing just fine where they are and they are behaving!

You attempted another basketball game you say...

Yes we did attempt another game!

So a while back, I decided to take Carter to one of Chad's games(my little cousin who doesn't seem to be little anymore). Well we lasted oh 10 minutes, then he threw a fit, wanted to play the game, play in the water fountain, and run around screaming. Well I finally said OK, this is enough and left the game. Well last night St. Peter played WEM so we went. And I am not sure if it was Grandma B, M&M's, Diet Dew, or just the grace of God that got us all the way through the game. We didn't stay for the Varsity game, but we made it all the way through the B-squad game. Pretty impressive I might say myself. Now that we have made it through one game, we might actually have to try another game!

Next time we will not be doing the Diet Dew since it took only an hour and fifteen minutes to get him to bed!

Spring is hopefully on its way!

So we are just wanting spring so much, we went and got Easter window clings to hopefully, bring spring here a little faster! And we are so happy that spring is on its way, because we finally get to close on our Construction loan FRIDAY! Yippy

Playdate at the mall

We enjoyed a play date with Payten and Melissa today. It seems like this will be one of our last play dates during the week since she got a job now. YAH!!!

It was fun today, even though Carter had to throw a tantrum after leaving, and then not wanting to eat KFC, but OK with fruit snacks. It was pretty funny sitting in the food court, Melissa says "Watch this" about to feed Payten cole slaw, and Payten gags about 3 times, then throws up the cole slaw in her hand. It was to bad the camera was in my purse!

Love the look Payten

"You ready Carter?"

"Look what I can do"

Not sure why Carter had to ride on the floor, I put him on the seat and he went to the floor!

Carter running around screaming cause he was so excited!

Sitting on the thermometer

Nice Pic Melissa

Boys sitting on the bear

Lets get clean

"Go like this Carter"

"We are suppose to do what Payten?"

When you need just one more hand...

Remember to use all the resources that God gave you!

What would you like to eat...

Shrimp? Chicken? Pork? Chinese? American? Burger? Pasta?

Leave it to chef C'arter J'ames

OK well good luck with that, cause right now Carter feels the need to find out where the water is coming from instead of cooking his mom a nice home cooked meal. I can always try right. Mamma Sherri (who loves reading our blog) gave us this kitchen that was from her daughter, and Carter loves it. Jeremy didn't feel that Carter needed a kitchen, but guys need to learn how to cook too! And really Jeremy doesn't care anymore. OK, so because he is a boy he is all about finding out why or how instead of cooking.

Why doesn't water come out?

How does it make that noise?

He is always going to make sure he has clean hands before cooking!

Now if we would only have the basement finished(or should I say started), we would be able to put then kitchen in the toy room instead of the Living room!

Better late than never...

Jeremy and I spend Valentines together, although we didn't do much, I had really wanted to go to the Casino and blow some money I guess. We got Grandma and Grandpa R to baby sit, and we headed to the Casino. To let everyone know it is not a good idea to go to the Casino on Valentines day. That is where all the old people go(no offense). But we feel like old people, we don't have the patience to wait in line, we don't feel the need to go out spending mookoo bucks on one day, and we just enjoyed a night without our wonderful son! We were home by 9:30 ish, and then we reminisced about how we first started dating, and what we did before having a child! Oh yeah and Jeremy really wanted to just prank people all night long! It was pretty funny actually. We "cruised main" and felt like we were young again!

Choo...Choo...Choo

Well you guess it, Carter is now into trains. He got a few for Valentines day and he now loves them. But, he loves to just let the train drive mom crazy (dad says its a short drive)! But we do have a lot of fun playing with the trains, when Big Foot(Carter) stays out of the way. OK so maybe mom and dad have more fun playing with the trains! The best part is we can get more and make it a longer track later!

Carter does enjoying putting a car on the tracks, and blocking the way. I don't know if he thinks its funny to play chicken with a train, or what, but he laughs when the train hits the car.

Waiting for and important call

Patiently waiting for an important call

Yeah I know she is going to call me

This might be her

Hello....are you there?

Climbing up daddys legs

Here is a new favorite past time........climbing the 2 jungle gyms I live with (AKA Mom and Dad)!

Up Up UP

"You ready"

Look at Me!

New toy at Grandma and Grandpa B's

Grandpa got a new toy, and he calls it my toy too. I truly believe it is my toy too, cause I know how to get into it, try to start it, and Uncle Ben showed me how to do this shifter thingy.

We are going to take Auntie Devan for a ride....hold on, OK Ben can you get it started, so that we do let her get cold??? Hurry up buddy!

So Carter loves the Rhino so much, we can not go to Grandma and Grandpas without getting on it, sitting in the garage for oh about 30 minutes, then throwing a fit, when he has to go inside. It doesn't matter that his teeth are chattering, or his lips turning a slight bit blue!

New Table that came from Uncle Ben and Grandma

Multi-purposed....you can use it as a toy box, box to sit in, and a table!

Or even be pulled in using Marley's Leash

Look at all those cars!

Here is a drawer so I can hide stuff

What is he doing...

Carter can focus sometimes....and you take the picture, but then don't remember what he was focused on. Well we all know this face and what he is focused on. We get this face a lot!
