So I have been a terrible blogger. With summer approaching I have had loads of yard work, busy, hot afternoons that have drained me. By night, I just want to go to bed. Well I am determined to get caught up. This is all I have in me for tonight. Most of May is here, just a few more posts and I can start on June. We've been busy!
Way to go Carter! We are so proud of you!
It all started as an innocent lunch at McDonald's playland. I had met up with my friend Cami from college and her two cute girls. We were just packing up to leave. Carter and Myah were chasing each other in circles by the window. All of a sudden Myah trips and hits her head on the window seal. I went running over to comfort her when I a saw the biggest gash in my little girls head that I have ever seen! I panicked a little. She panicked a little (and passed out for a second...yea for breath holding :( I knew we were destined for stitches immediately. The manager was freaking out, but very helpful. We got lots of free toys and cookies! By the time I got her calmed down and in her car seat we headed for the doctor. Carter was beside himself crying begging for Myah to forgive him (it really wasn't his fault). I dropped him off at the neighbors and cried myself to the doctors office knowing what was in store for my sweet little two year old that had no idea what was coming. Well about 35 minutes of being tied down later, we found ourselves with 8 stitches and two dum dum suckers (one for each hand). It was pretty traumatic for Myah and even more for me to watch. Sometimes I wonder what I signed up for when I chose to be a mom. It definitely was not one of my favorite moments. But we survived and it is healing up quite nicely!
It was Carter's first shot at soccer this spring. He had a good time. It was funny to watch him. Carter has a crazy imagination, so some days you would see him gazing over at the baseball game being played or at a cement truck pouring cement or maybe he would just be swinging on the goal posts, all while we are yelling at him to chase after the ball. He was pretty cute though the times he got into the game. He had a great time, and that was all that mattered anyway!
This was the first year they had goalies. It was one of Camden's favorite positions to play. He deffinetly doesn't take after his mom there. I hated playing goalie. Having the ball kicked right at me always made me nervous. He was pretty good at it!
They never had formal pictures taken for some reason. I did my best atempt...couldn't quite get them to be serious!
He is a pretty handsome little soccer dude!
Thanks for the fun day Carter! I sure love you!In May my biggest boy turned 7 years old. I still can hardly believe he is so big! It has been fun to watch him grow up into a big kid and not just a little boy anymore. This year he was able to have a friend party (every other year at our house). He chose a sports party. We played soccer, football, baseball, basketball and of course had pinata. With 15 little boys running around my back yard, I was so thankful that mother nature cooperated and gave us a nice afternoon. I am not sure how I would have done inside my house. Her are just a few pictures from the afternoon that made me rather exhausted....but at least Camden had a smile on his face when it was all said and done!

The boys were actually pretty good to wait in line. We just split them into two teams to make it a little easier!
Pinata time!
Even Carter and Myah had fun! (I thought this picture was sweet!)
And cupcake time!
On Camden's actual birthday we had a party with our family. We went to Frederico's for pizza and then bowling afterwards. I think he had a pretty fun day!

It was pretty late by the time we got home and ready for bed. We then realized we hadn't given him the presents from our own family yet. So we sat down for a minute and had present time. I loved this picture, because of all of the gifts he got, he acted the most excited about this one. A globe....as much as this kid loves sports....geography is right up there next to it!
Happy birthday kiddo! I can't imaging life without you in it! We love having you as part of our family. You definitely keep things interesting and keeps us on our toes. But you have an amazing little spirit inside of you and we are so thankful to have you as are biggest little boy!
