Raking Leaves

Since Carter was so young during fall last year, this is his first time playing in the leaves-He loved to run & jump in the big pile!! He got a kick out of hiding Diesels ball in the leaves & watching him dig through to find it... Once he goes outside for a little while he is totally not about going back in-that's the only hard part! I wish fall stayed around a lot longer, we are so not ready for colder weather or the snow!

Dad's 50!!

My dad's big 50th birthday was on Saturday...We all went out to eat at Sizzler on Sunday for his celebration...He doesn't look 50 at all-still lookin good :) His big present will be here shortly!!!Hope you had a great birthday-Thanks for everything you do for us dad! We love you!

Pumpkin Walk

Saturday we decided to attempt the pumpkin walk. It actually wasn't as busy as I thought, I was surprised... Carter didn't care one bit about the pumpkins or the cute scenes- but once we got to the end & he seen the kids running around putting their heads in the wood cutouts he thought that was the coolest thing ever...He would stand in each one & say cheese until I took his picture then run to the next one & put his head in & smile!!! He's too cute :D

My Deer

Last night, me, Justin & my brother Justin went up hunting again, this was going to be one of our last chances at going so I would have shot anything we seen with horns-luckily we saw a decent sized one...Got him my first shot with the 30-6 right in the heart, only ran about 20 yards & then dropped. Only my elk tag to fill now, hopefully we see one on Saturday!!!

Justin's Deer!

Justin shot a deer Sunday morning, luckily he is such a good shot ;) ;) that we didn't have to track it very far...I would have shot it-but it was on the run so I for sure would have missed:) ...It is really pretty up there right now & hasn't been too cold. So, I can't complain about hunting this year!!! Now I just need to fill my deer & elk tags...

Carter is not a fan of any dead animals with horns we have decided :) unless the head is off & they are in the hunting room- so he doesn't realise what they really are!!

Trooper!

He's been such a trooper this past week with hunting & getting dropped off at grandma Perry's almost every morning & night for a few hours... We haven't had much luck hunting yet but hopefully soon!

Carter is totally in the 'Mr independent' stage right now. He is getting pretty good at doing everything himself, or at least trying. Its sad he is already this big & is doing things on his own, but he is super smart & I am so grateful to be able to stay home & spend everyday with him!! He is always smiling & making us laugh at the little things he comes up with...We've realised, mainly lately, that he really is such a blessing to our family, I don't know what we would do without him!

Talking!

Carter is starting to talk a bunch & it is so cute! He can pretty much say anything you tell him to but his favorite is 'Dies'- he'll sit & yell to Dies over & over to come or if Diesel won't give him his toys he'll yell Dies in his mad voice. His newest word is 'please', every time he wants something I make him say 'please' & he already has it down! We are working on 'thank you' :) I think the cutest by far is-he'll lift up his shirt & as clear as ever tell you "belly button"...He can say a bunch of other little words like juice, cheese, water, push, bum, shoot, drink, shoes, stinky (while plugging his nose) He knows where his nose, eyes, ears & hair are. Its crazy to me how smart he already is & how fast he is catching onto talking!He is such a monkey lately. He has to climb on anything that is even somewhat off the ground! His monkey costume for Halloween will fit him perfectly!I can tell he is already bummed that the weather has turned off cold & he can't go outside-He sits at the baby gate & says 'please, please'...He doesn't quite understand why he can't go out, but once we get outside he goes 'brrrr' so hopefully he'll realise why I'm not letting him out soon!!!& he is officially obsessed with Shrek!...I'm pretty sure Justin & I have it memorized :D
