Jcrew: Carter

It seems like this time of year, we are celebrating a birthday every week! I love it! It means happy faces, singing, candles, presents, cake, and most of all, Family :) We had a nice little family gathering to celebrate everything Carter! Those who have known me for a long time, might know that I've never allowed the kids to have guns~ toys or otherwise. Well somewhere over the past 19 years of being a mom, I've finally come to the conclusion that toy guns are a necessity for little boys :) Every little guy on our block has a nerf gun and poor Carter has had to be at the mercy of his friends~ hoping they would share theirs for a moment. Grandma Hank to the rescue! She gave Carter his very own nerf gun! It is perfect and just what he wanted. Uncle Ben had a blast with it as well~ all the kiddos were laughing hysterically while trying to dodge his practically perfect aim. He received a darling BSU sweatshirt from Beth & Casey, a set of 4wheel trucks from the Greenwood family, and Criss Cross Crash to add to his Hotwheel collection from Grandma & Grandpa. Mom, Dad, and siblings added to the BSU fashion as well as additional hotwheels gear. Taylor gave him his very own board game~ Candyland. We've spent many hours playing since and we're working on some great life lessons in the process~ no cheating, and excepting defeat gracefully :)
