Mason is 3!

Happy Birthday to my oh-so-sweet, yet extremely ornery and utterly adorable Mason-Tator!

I love you sweet boy! :)

What a day!

We had a fun and eventful day for Carter's birthday. His birthday celebrations began Tuesday night with a date with Gma June. They went out to Subway (Carter's pick) then to walmart to buy a birthday gift. He picked a tin "Cars" lunchbox and little dirtbikes with guys to play with. He had a blast! (no pics...bummer!)

On his actual birthday we got him all ready for preschool and he was super excited to take the snack. He chose donuts and chocolate milk! On our way, we discovered that school was cancelled, so we quick made plans to hang out at Gma F's. There we ate his snack and played a while.

In the evening we had birthday party here at our house. He had chosen a donut cake for this year.

Here are Mason and my dad checking out Carter's gifts. Too sweet!

Mason got to open one of his gifts early since it goes along with Carter's gift (from Aunt Joni & U. Jason)

Can you see the excitement resonating from them both? Later in the night Carter said, "That was the bestest gift I ever did get!"

My lil nephew, Parker & Adalynn. Such cuties!

Happy Birthday, Carter-Man!

I can't believe my little boy is FIVE years old! Carter is SUCH a JOY to our family. He is so loving, caring, careful, obedient, smart and joyful! Never is there a boring day with Carter around. He loves to read, play Sorry!, play ANYthing with Mario Bros., jump on the trampoline, to learn, and best of all he loves to play with his little brother, Mason. :) He is an amazing help with his baby sister too!

Carter,

Daddy and I love you more than we can explain in words. Thank you for being the sweet, obedient child that you are! You are every parent's dream child! :) We thank God and praise Him each day for the blessing he gave us in YOU!

Have such a fun day today! I am looking forward to celebrating YOU all day long.

Hugs & Kisses,

Mommy

Another Hurdle Cleared!

I'm so excited to announce that Nick passed exam #8!!!!!!! He has one more to go and then he will be an official "Fellow in the Society of Actuaries" (FSA)

After we found out on Friday, I decided it was time to celebrate! After working out details for babysitters and hitching a ride to FW - I surprised him by showing up at work and took him out on a date! :)

Here he is in his office.

Congratulations, babe!

Fun, Fun, Fun!

We had such a great time with our friends at Kalahari this past weekend! I didn't get the best pics, but they did capture the memories, at least! :)
