My little boy is growing up!

Just look at him! He is so big!

I found Carter in the office working on a letter to his big cousin, Gabe . It was so cute! Even cuter is that his letter made sense! He is just growing up so fast! He came up with the idea on his own and I didn't help him at ALL!

In case you can't read it, this is what it says (it is in scrambled order, but he read it to me like this), " I wish Gabe woz (was) her (here) bt (but) he is gan (gone) now." It says a few other things too he says, but he can't remember! ;)

Last night, he and Nick decided they needed to make a list of what they need for their father/son campout this weekend. This is what they came up with. (he has some help on this one...) Can you read it?

"sleeping bag, snack, drink, toez (toys)"

• math,
• bug spray
• gadr (gator)
• bike
• flash lite
• tent
• jam ez (jammies/pajamas)
• my stuf {this is what we call his blankie, pony (which is a pillow) & Freddy (a stuffed bunny)}
• and Nick wrote graham crackers + marshmallows :) he says he mis spelled them to make carter feel better! :) lol

They are both really looking forward to the campout! Mason on the other hand, is heart broken that he can't go.

When we broke the news to him he cried the saddest cry saying, "daddy you are teasing me!"

Nick - "No, Mason, I'm not teasing. You have to be 4 to go on this camping trip. I'm sorry, buddy."

Mason, "BUT I AM 4!!!!!!!!!!"

So, I came to the rescue and asked him, "Mason you, Adalynn and mommy can do something special too! What do you want to do?"

In a very determined voice he replied, "I want to go to the grocery store and sleep at maw-maw Fiechter's!"

LOL. So - Friday night we'll be doing some grocery shopping and hanging out with grandma! :) Gotta love it!
