Carter loves to help Daddy

Anything Pete does is the most amazing thing to Carter whether its using a screwdriver to fix the glider or mowing the lawn. It is so wonderful to me to see how much Carter looks up to Pete. It's nice to know that Carter will have an amazing dad around to look up to and mold himself after. I am glad we have Pete and I know that Carter is too. He hands me the phone all throughout the day and says Dada until I dial Pete and then Carter takes the phone and wanders around the house jabbering about his day to his best friend- his Daddy.

Hogle Zoo with Carter and Jake

My mom and Dave came down from Idaho to see Andy, Katy & Jake one more time before they flew home. We decided to take the boys to the zoo.... it was a beautiful day and it went pretty good with the boys. The only problem is they like to walk all by themselves and never where we were trying to go. Thanks to Katy's brilliance we made our belts into makeshift leashes but Carter wasn't having any of that. He is WAY TOO independant at times.... but usually that is something I love about him.... so we rolled with the punches and enjoyed the day. The tiger was my favorite animal. I was bummed they didn't have a lion though. What is a zoo without a lion really? Lucky lions I guess :)

Carter is 15 months old

Carter is just our most favorite person in the world. He is getting much more vocal and independant. He was looking through the newspaper the other day and came upon a pizza add and was saying "MMM... bite? MMM bite?" over and over. It was so cute. He is a blessing and everytime he hugs me a remember how lucky I am.

Tiffany and Jake's Marriage

Tiffany was a beautiful bride. Her long time High School sweetheart Jake Schenk and her tied the not on April 11th. It was a perfect day and everything went smoothly. Jacob was the ring boy and he was so very handsome. We enjoyed the weekend greatly.
