Carter starts school!

So school started and I feel as though my life has gone into overdrive. I was looking forward to a few hours a day of peace to get things done and it seems I have just become ever busier! To plan my day around pick up and drop off and making sure Myah gets a few Zzzz's I am pretty busy getting everything I need to done! Blogging has taken a back seat..... I will try and do better, but in the mean time I have got to get my life more organized! I can hardly believe this month is almost over! Where does the time go! Anyway here are a few pictures of Carter on his first day of school!
Nothing like a good morning bike ride to settle your nerves! Carter loves his bike!

"Ok Carter...say cheese!"

"Ok, this time don't squint so much and smile a real smile!"

"Good enough!"

This is right before he walked in. He told me he was going to be so brave! When we went inside he got a little nervous and needed me to stay for a few minutes. Finally I said "Give me a hug...I have to go!" He looked up at me and hugged me tight and gave me a kiss and became a very brave little boy! I seriously can hardly believe he is already so big. Time goes by way to fast! I wish I could just bottle them up and keep them little forever! However that being said, Carter is a cute little stink, but boy is he going through the terrible 3's. Yes 3's not 2's. He was actually a pretty easy going 2 year old. 3 has brought an entirely new twist on things! It's a good thing I love him so much or I just might have to send him away to toddler boot camp! Oh the joys of motherhood! No one ever told me how tough it would be, but at the same time no one described how much I would love it anyway!

I hear you on the busier thing after they go to school. I have one in 2nd, one in Kindergarten, and one that takes a nap. My day is cut up in 2 hour segments ...which means I live up to the title "stay-at-home-mom" and just stay home and drive the kids around.

He IS a cute little "stink" . I love the pictures of him smiling huge. What a cutie.

what a fun blog you take some fun pictures. It is so fun to see what life is like with boys. I am going to miss you in the ward as well. I am so glad we got the card swap going before the ward split. we will have to squeeze in a few girls nights as well.

I can't believe how big he is! He is such a cute little guy! I am so sad you guys aren't our neighbors still. Dylan would have loved being able to ride bikes with them:)

Cute pictures. I love the blond hair. So when I was going through all those old pictures there were several with you and I sitting on Grandpa Chattertons lap. Time flys it seems like that was just yesterday.

I always love the squinty-eyed cheesy grins. He's got some good ones! It was fun to see you at the park today. Little Myah is growing so fast.
