Carter's Texas Visit

Last weekend, Clay, Carter and I each had our own fun weekend.  Clay went to Texas to have a guys weekend with old buddies.  I had my girlfriends fly in and we had our own fun weekend.  Where does this leave Carter?  He got to spend the weekend with Mia at Casa de Hump!  She provided pictures and dialogue to give us a glimpse into carter's fun weekend!

A big thanks to Mia for taking care of our little man! It looks like Carter had a great time...and so did Clay and I.  More to come on our gal/guy weekends...

Thank you, Lori, for this picture!

Last Farm Visit

Tonight we made a family trip to the farm to pick up our milk.  We made a hard decision to quit purchasing from this farm due to the rising gas prices.  We had to travel 50 minutes (no traffic) one way once a week.  In my car, that totaled 2.5 gallons of gas which is now over $10.  Add that to the price of milk and you can see that is expensive milk!!!  The farm had other things as well such as cheap eggs, a selection of grass-fed meats, other milk products, etc.  It was really fun to go at first, but the drive became burdensome and expensive.  Thankfully, we found a local drop-off for another farm for milk and these other products just 15 minutes from our house. We begin that next week.  

At the farm pictured below, the family would let you go see the animals anytime you wanted.  We thought Carter might enjoy this.  

Here he goes running over to the animals...

 The cow has Carter's arm in his mouth!

Seriously, the ugliest chicken we've ever seen. There was something seriously wrong with it. Clay and I thought it was going to attack us!  Look at the feet on this thing!

 He loves the shoulder rides!

 On the ride home catching up on baby news :)

Is this blog going to work now?!?!

I think we are up and running!  Hopefully ;)

Landscape Overhaul

During one of dad's visits last fall, he graciously helped us complete a project...landscaping!  This spring, I could finally see the flowers blooming.  I can't wait to see all the plants grow and thrive!  Think he'll be up to doing the backyard?!?!?!

Hannah's Room

Yep, the nesting has begun...love these little outfits!

Hannah's room before we bought the house...
After we bought the house, it was our guest room. This bed has sold which made room for...
This. Light gray paint, new basebord and casing, cute rug (which Belle pooped all over yesterday...grrrrrrr)...
And a soft cushy rocker I scored off craigslist...
That's it so far!
