"Look what was in our house the morning!!! SO VERY GLAD I did NOT step on it!!!!! I almost did!!I was gonna toto the bathroom downstairs but for some reason decided to go upstairs instead....so glad I did! When I came down to get sunscreen on I was spraying it on my back and noticed that if I had walked in to go to the bathroom before I would most likely have stepped right on this guy! He was pretty upset that I was dripping sunscreen all over him though!"

The Best Farm Doggie-- Lizzie

Lizzie is such a good dog...she is now catching gophers on the farm. She is currently in rooster training and progressing quite well. She helps herd the goats when they get out. She even snuggles on the couch when we are not looking. This November she will be four years old. When she was a puppy, Grandma Linda and Glenda  found her near their house. She was this tiny puppy that needed a home so we took her home and gave her lots of love. Now she has had her share of road rabbits and local cats but now she is Jack (our cat) trained and soon she will be rooster trained too. Lizzie, Carter loves you so much! And Mama and Papa love you too!Oh and I think she has passed that pesky kleptomaniac stage where she would bring home other kids' stuffed animals and balls!

Carter was invited to Giovanni's birthday party today. Mary, his mother works in Nuview School District, and is a friend of the family. Papa wasn't able to go but as you can tell Carter had a blast. Thanks to Mary and her hubby, it was a great afternoon and fun was had by all. Thank you Grandma Vivian for the mask and snorkel which was a big hit! 

As we approach this celebration of Mothers, I am reminded how blessed I am with my own Mother. She is so patient, loving, kind hearted, long suffering, and caring. These are only a few of her traits that I try to emulate! Thanks so much Mama!!

Love to all the Mothers, Grandmas, and Nana this Mother's Day! We are nothing without you and the unconditional love that you teach us and give to us and our children children! We love you all!!!

Carter having so much fun with his buddies Oliver and Gustavo at the Nuview Health Fair. Oliver found him and took him over to get a matching face painting....such a pair of little lightening bolts!! After the fair Oliver's family invited us over to see their new baby chicks and a pregnant pony they are keeping for a friend. When Gustavo Sr got home he walked the boys (both at the same time) around the yard on the pony, which of course Carter LOVED! She was about shoulder height at the forehead and was quite friendly. I got to hold their new bunny too. Fun was had by all! A good day to remember with good friends!

Here lies our fuzzy puppy who was thrown from the truck window when it swerved after someone pulled in front of it. She is doing good, but she is scraped up and sore. We are all so glad she is ok! I bandaged her after papa cleaned her wounds and Carter gave her a good measure of lovins!

One of those moments....missed

Today I was driving in the car and Carter had me playing his "I can only imagine" CD. He was reading the words from the book that came with and it was on endless repeat. He started by the third repeat to sing at the top of his lungs with the song so I thought I would try to record it on my phone.....I kick myself for forgetting to switch my phone from camera to video!!!! It was a couple min and so I didn't look at it til now....all I have are these crazy two pictures of the seats in the car!!! Such an extremely cute moment missed....well, by you. Me, I remember the whole thing....multiple times! I love you Carter!! Thanks for being you!

A Carter Find

Carter found this a few days ago...something I have never seen! I wish now that I had immediately pressed it. The feel of it was so smooth and it was just amazing to look at. He was rather proud of his find. I don't plane him at all!

Birthdays
Carter was invited to a couple of birthday parties a few weeks ago. The first one was Hunter's karate birthday party as you can see it was all boy with a few girls thrown in! He  had a great time. They even used a ninja sword to cut the cake! The next one was Ava's party with a piñata and cupcakes! Carter didn't want to leave her new house! A real party animal!!!

It's Dress Up Day!!
Today at Carter's school it is dress up day. The choice was between pirate or Musketeer. He chose Musketeer......last night! So this is the costume I was able to put together in about an hour or so. He really gives it flare! The hat is his old cowboy hat from Grandpa Keith. The plume is a cut straw with several layers of tissue paper cut like a feather and taped to the band with invisible tape. The vest is his old paint shirt with permanent marker to make the designs and the sleeves and neck cut out. Then we remembered that he had a cape from his Darth Vader costume that would add more pizzaz, and voila! He was the only one dressed as a Musketeer but two other pirates showed up in his class: Oliver and I think it was Juan. This is all in preparation for Movie Night tonight, they are playing Puss n Boots! It will be a blast as the kids all sit on the MPR floor on blankets and pillows and have a grand time. Just let us know if you are interested in coming to one of them. The parent group has them monthly and they are free, but they do sell snacks to fund raise. All for one and one for all!!!
