Rainy days and mud puddles

Rain, rain please don't go away,

little Carter loves to splash and play!

The day has finally come

when my little guy can finally play soccer. Well, sort of. We have finally, after two years, found a soccer clinic for three year olds. If you know Carter, then you know that he has been practicing soccer since the day he learned to walk. Ever since I can remember he has kicked a soccer ball around the house and out in the yard. Even last summer I caught him playing on his computer and I asked what he was playing and he said "I signing up for soccer mom". Too funny! Well, anyways....here he is! Our little soccer star!

Ok, so maybe the entire outfit is a little over kill for a soccer clinic for three year olds but how do you tell your son that he cannot have soccer cleats and shorts when he has been wanting them for so long. So yes, we got him all decked out and he thought he was the coolest thing around!
and he is running, eye on the ball, form looks good

GOAL!!

Carter gives soccer his signature two thumbs up!!
(sorry the above pic is a little out of focus...I hate when that happens to a cute photo)

So after his little practice we took him to "celebrate" at his favorite ice cream place as he calls it "Basketball Robbins"!

(and yes that is Matts beloved Bronco in the background.)

Happy Easter

Hope you all had a very Blessed Easter!

Above, all the kids have fun egg hunting at Nana and Papaws!

Can I just say.....I love my family!!

Shawna and Don and their good lookin' crew!

Holly and Justin and their two little cuties!

It wouldn't have been Easter at our house without getting Carter a little chick. This year he decided to name the chick "chickenhead"....I don't know where he comes up with the names but once he decides on a name, there is no changing his mind!

After spending the morning at church and then mom and dads for lunch, we spent the rest of the afternoon at a park flying Carters kite and bug catching! It was such a beautiful day and I was so happy that we were all able to be together to have fun, rest and hang out!
