My little poser..

Rarely, Carter chooses to have his picture taken. These pics that follow came on a day that I just noticed that he was RIDING his REMOTE CONTROL Hummer. I have no clue why but it was another one of those times I couldn't pass up. So he LET me take a picture of him and then got all excited and wanted me to take picture after picture of him doing 'moves' on this thing. I thought it was funny! He would run to me to view the pic after each one! What a goober!!!

My Child...

Carter loves wearing glasses, masks, goggles, ANYTHING that will alter his appearance. He calls it his 'Secret Identity. This day, in late April, he chose safety goggles (with no lenses in them) and of course no shirt. I couldn't keep a shirt on this kid if my life depended on it. He was just sitting there in the living room, eating his pop corn out of a massive container (another favorite past time) with the goggles on. I couldn't help but take a pic. Can we say, 'future blackmail'? Then of course he had to show me his punches!!!

And then there were three...

We decided to surprise Carter a fish tank and a few of those cheap little gold fish. We ended up with 7 and unfortunately, since it took me a month to get this post out, we only have 3 left. He's handled all of the 'floaters' well. He will actually get them out of the tank and flush them himself. He's such a boy!!! I'm just glad that I don't have to do it. If you'll notice in the pics there is a tiny orange and white fish. That one was my favorite. 'Tiny' was stuck in the filter when we returned home from vacation. That's the last casualty we've had and hopefully the last. We may have to go get more cheapies!!!

The OKC Zoo...

Carter's Ancy Gramma and Aunt Callie (Travis' mom and sis) asked us to go to the OKC Zoo so went for the first time in a long time...needless to say it was HOT...but we had a good time!

The Swan Boats!!! So Carter's main thing he wanted to do at the zoo was to ride in the swan paddle boats. Travis bought a ticket for Carter and himself, and Nancy got a ticket for her and Callie. There was no way I was going to be able to get in and out of them let alone help paddle so I was more than happy sitting on the sidelines taking pics. When the time came for Carter to get on...he decided he wanted to go with his Ancy Gramma and Aunt Callie. That left Travis by himself and he wasn't going to waste the $6 it cost to ride them so...trooper that he is...he went by himself. There were several pictures of him that just cracked me up but I figured he wouldn't be too excited if I put them all on there. He was mighty tired after doing it all by himself!!!

We got to see the sea lions perform for us. I got more excitement seeing Carter's reaction to watching his first live animal show. He was soooo serious!!!

Here are some other pics I like. I love the way he is holding on to his Daddy and what a sweet moment that was.

Next to the Dinosaur exhibit was a bouncy thing. We were hot and tired by then but Cart sure had a blast using his newly learned punches on the pillars inside! I've never seen one that had those things on the inside before. It was pretty neat!

I forgot the gymnastics part of the Kick-n-Gym post...

Here's a good after pic...

Carter Meets Davy...

My friend Julie has a new dog, his name is Davy. We try to get together once a week for dinner and one time Julie brought Davy to meet Me, Carter and then go play in the back with Lexi and Jack... Well, I regret that I didn't get any pics of the dogs all playing together and it's sad to say that Julie's dog is SO MUCH better behaved than Jack-o but I still think they had a good time! Carter on the other hand liked Davy (whom he kept calling Daisy) from a distance. This is what happens when Carter gets on the floor with a big dog while trying to put on a foam dinosaur foot...I laughed so hard and as Julie was trying to get Davy off of Carter I kept telling her not to until I got a good pic!!! I know, bad...but funny!!!

Notice Carter hanging off the arm of the chair...didn't even see that until just now...

My poor babies looking in the back door wondering who our new guest is!!!

Tentatively petting Davy....

Yummy Dinosaur Foot!!!

Ooh...You have a sock in your other hand!!!

Carter preferred to pet Davy when he was fast asleep next to my scrap booking stuff!

Jack-o...I think...

Well, we've finally decided on a name for our new dog (new in January) and according to Carter, who changed his name so many times I had no clue which one he was going by at times, his name is Jack. We can call him Jack-o for a nickname but, "since he's so big now his name is Jack".Here are some pics I took in March at 4 mos old.

Notice he's as tall as Carter at 4 mos. when standing up...which he does a lot!!!

Carter riding his bike w/Jack-o chasing him & Carter and Nana TRYING to clean the back door.

Here's Travis trying to keep both dogs away from the windows so that Nana and Cart could clean them...I had more interesting pics of Travis trying to do this but most of them just showed his but in various positions and I didn't think he would appreciate it!
