Carter's 1st Haircut

1st haircut

At almost 14 months, Carter got his 1st haircut today. His hair was getting a little shaggy and hair was starting to stick out, so Craig gave him a haircut. He did really well. At first he didn't like it much, but that didn't last long. He looks like a little boy now. He is getting really close to walking. Craig and I decided that when he walks more than he crawls then we will consider him officially walking. It is fun to see him stand up in the middle of the room and walk. He thinks it is so fun.

Almost Walking

Carter walking

At almost 14 months, Carter is still not walking. He has been cruising around the furniture and with toys since 10 months. He is taking his precious time, just like Camdyn (she didn't walk until a little after 14 months) When he does let go, he only takes one or two baby steps. Most of the time he won't even let go. Last night he did take about five or six steps, but we couldn't get him to do it again. I am ready for him to walk. Most people say, "why." He is already into everything, so why not. It would make a few things easier if he did. Click on picture to watch a couple of videos.

Random Pictures-April

Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks. Camdyn and Carter are starting to play together a little bit. Camdyn likes for Carter to chase her and do some things with her, but she is also starting to want to play by herself, especially with her babies or her alphabet letters. Carter has been a happy baby the last couple of weeks. He does a good job entertaining himself. The last few nights he has been waking up during the night and he will bump his head on the wall. Hopefully it will not last long. Click on the above picture to see more. Enjoy!

Ground Breaking News

I guess you could say that we broke ground this week for our new home. We hired a bull-dozer to clear our trees and level the site for our house. It took less than 10 hours for a small dozer to clear about a half acre of trees and burn them! It was an impressive site. Craig was out there for a day and a half while they were dozing and he converted about 15 blackjack oak trees into firewood (which consequently saved us money, because if we didn't make it firewood then we would of had to pay the dozer $80 an hour to watch it burn).

Nebraska Trip

Nebraska

Last week the kids and I drove up to Nebraska to see my parents and my sister and her family. It had been since November since we had seen them. They have an 18 month old son, Hunter who is pictured above with Camdyn. We had a good time up there, except for the fact that it rained the entire time we were there so we were stuck inside the entire time. Craig ended up going out of town to California for work. It worked out good. The six hour trip up there and back went well. The kids were good and we didn't have to stop too many times. Click on the above picture to see more.

Let the fun begin!

After hearing some advice from some honest friends, we have begun the work to update our house. As the time approaches when our house will soon be under construction, we are getting ready to put our current home on the market. The first thing we are doing is ripping off the wallpaper and border in all of the rooms. Luckily, it isn't that much. In the picture above, Craig is removing the border we put up when we found out we were excepting our 1st child, Camdyn. It was kind of sad as we started tearing it off. =( With a tiger claw and some wallpaper remover the border came off in one piece. Lucky us. The picture below is the border we hung in our bedroom and this is stubborn. It is coming off in little, little pieces. Luckily it is just border and no wallpaper. The bottom picture is the wallpaper in the kitchen. When we put up the wallpaper, we put some backing up so the texture of the wall wouldn't show through. That saved us. It came off in big sheets and took no time at all. We soon will be doing a lot of painting, probably late at night after the kids go to bed. If anyone can't get enough of painting, stop by our house and we will be happy to give you a paintbrush!

Winter Again

After getting used to wearing shorts, t-shirts and sandals, it was time to bring out the winter coats. Once Craig got home from work, we bundled up the kiddos and I sent them outside with him. They were outside for a little while, before they wanted to come inside. For people who don't live in Oklahoma, it actually snowed on Friday a good part of the afternoon.
