Christmas Time 2008

We spent the first couple days of the Holidays in Scipio. Carter was so much fun this year. Good thing Uncle Paul is so easy going, he let Carter "Ride the Bull" quite a few times. Of course riding the Bull is one of his favorite things to do. He always has to have his Cowboy hat on before he takes a ride.








Little baby Seely Anne was born a couple of days before Christmas. Carter just thinks she is fantastic. He loved holding her. Carter calls her Baby Seedy.... He will get it.









One of his favorite presents this year was of course a new Cowboy hat (the old one was trashed). In fact he had his old one on that morning and when he saw the new one he threw off the old and put on the new and never gave his old hat another glance. Also of course he got a stick horse. Just another thing to ride at our house.











The holidays wouldn't have been complete without a trip to see Santa on Christmas Eve. Uncle Paul got Carter right in line. Carter asked for a Cowboy hat and a new tracker.

Carter's 2nd Birthday

We had a house full of people to help us celebrate Carter's 2nd birthday. Paul, April, Scott, Eryn, Jake, Natalie, Brian, Kallie and of course Carter's best little friend Easton. Carter was so excited for cake he could hardly stand the wait. My cake decorating skills however are not the greatest.












It didn't take Carter long to dive in and get cake everywhere in the process. At least he had a great time I guess.









Carter's favorite gift he got for his birthday was this Cow Bowling. In fact he saw it on my bed before I could wrap it up and made such a fuss that I ended up giving it to him with a little bow on it just so he would stop crying. He still hasn't got the rolling the ball at the pins, he always throws it instead.

Halloween 2008

It was so much fun to get Carter dressed up this year for Halloween. He was Dopey and he had a fabulous time. We only ended up going to a few houses to Trick-or-Treat because every time he would get a new treat he wanted to go home and eat it. He also was invited to a little costume birthday party for a little friend of his the day after Halloween. Carter however didn't want to get back into his Dopey costume. He wanted to wear his normal cowboy attire so we just drew on a little facial hair and he was in costume once more.

So it's been quite some time since I posted anything new. Every time I sit in front of the computer Carter decides that its then that he needs my full attention. So I am way behind as usual. I noticed that I didn't even put Halloween pictures up. You will have to forgive me as I attempt to catch everyone up on what has been going on in the Monroe house.
