Marshmallows...

Mountain Adventures

Brian wanted to "expose Carter to the elements". So on Saturday we went up to shaver lake in the Sierra mountains. We hiked around and built a fire to roast marshmallows. It was so nice to get out of the city and feel the fresh air!

Brian LOVES these...

Carter likes to hold on to his pacifier... maybe it's a security thing?

Brian thought it would be funny to have the pacifier in his mouth... It's funny

because I didn't notice until I put the pictures on the computer

Oh man, I love these boys! So cute!

Our Little Pumpkin!

Carter picked out a baby pumpkin at the grocery store. He didn't want to carve it, so we just let him play with it, and try and eat it...

He loved his pumpkin so much, he was drooling all over it!

Laughing with dad

Video of Carter laughing

Look at those smiles!

The little bat flying with dad

(I know his outfit doesn't really match, but it was the only

black onesie I could find.)

Brian carved a picture of Carter in his pumpkin...

The Fair, Rice cereal, and Jungle Gym Tricks!

The Fresno Fair...

These 3 pictures are to show you how impatient my husband
gets when I take pictures. Sometimes it's like I have two kids that
I have to try and get a good smile from. I was trying to fix the flash
in these.... a total time of about 2 minutes haha it cracks me up

Brian let Carter pet ALL the animals and in between each one
he was licking his hands.... after the first one I cleaned them...
and then I gave up.

First time eating rice cereal!

Watching mom prepare the food...

Then I remembered my moms advice to strip them down...

Video of the first bite:

As you can tell, he didn't like it too much the first time...

He loves to sit on the couch with mom and dad

We love his cheeks!

A salesman on the street gave a ballon to Carter...

This is his favorite sleeping position, so cute!

Family Pictures

A few months ago my cousin Chelsea was in town visitng and she took a few family pictures for us. She is very talented and I think she did a great job! Here are a few of them...

Labor day weekend

For Labor day weekend we decided to meet up with Brian's brother and his wife (Carson and Kandi). We drove to Fresno (where we live now) and stayed in a hotel Sunday night then spent all day Monday together. Brian and Carson played Tennis just about the whole time... while Kandi and I had fun talking and playing with the babies. Carter and Elayna are only 5 weeks apart so it was cute to watch them together.

Playing at the park

Madison and Elayna, what cute sisters!

Carter loves his bouncer...

Nakie in the carseat

Dad can never get enough of his cute little boy!

Swimming

Carter's first swimming adventure!

Slowly getting in the water...

Carter did not like the floaty idea.

Happy taking a break out of the water with mom

What a handsome little boy!

Back in with dad

Still in shock...

Finally out of that cold water!
