Halloween 2008

John brought home some wax lips and we had a good time taking silly pictures!

This was at the Ward Halloween Party. Cameron was so dang cute (not in this picture though). I loved his pumpkin costume!!

We decorated a door for the kids to come a Trick or Treat at....we also won 1st prize in the decorating contest.....no biggie. We had scary music in the background, strobe lights, and scary noises.....we actually scared some little kids (we kinda felt bad). We had a great time!!!

Halsy was Elvis.....and I was a granny.....Cameron couldn't figure out my glasses and hair, but luckily he found it humorous instead of scary....

Jackson wouldn't wear the Mickey costume Grandma got him, so we just had to do the next best thing, he wore his Mickey sweater and he let us paint a mouse face on him.....

Cookie Fridays

Every Friday at our house we've started to make chocolate chip cookies. When Jackson wakes up from his nap he asks, "Make Cookies...Aunt Brooke?" How can I refuse...? So we make the most delicious cookies and Jackson loves to help pour the ingredients in the bowl and turn on the mixer. Cameron sits in his Bumbo with us and plays with his toys.

Fun Pictures

These are some fun pictures we've taken lately!!

Cameron has almost perfected sitting up, he loves to sit and play in his bucket o' toys. This was Sunday morning, we got him ready and then sat him to play while we got ready...it was wonderful!

This is one of those pictures that you luck into....

Jena took the boys to the store and they fell asleep on the way home. I don't know why he behaves so well for anyone else but me in the car!! ARGH!

This is us all bundled up to go for a walk...and my mom got the cutest picture!!! He loves to chew on his tongue and so when he smiles his tongue sticks out....so cute.

Jackson loves his little cousin Cam. Thye play together all day....and Jackson takes such good care of him. This is the boys watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse together in Grandpa's chair.

Halsy gave Cameron his first taste of Rice Cereal! He loved it....I can smell the freedom coming!! He also has begun to take a bottle....I don't know what happened. I never gave up on offering it to him and he finally took it on day out of no where... Cam also loves baby food (bananas are his favorite)

Trip to Costco

We love to go to Costco!! Cameron was so excited to get ready and go out of the house!!

He rode in the stroller all through the isles, drawing ooohs and ahhhs the entire way. We had tastes and played with toys....it was very fun!!

We love to stop afterward and get the delicious Costco food; polish dogs, pizza, ice cream "Oh My!" Cam loved the ice cream!!

Bragging Rights

I decided to give Cameron a little decor for his part of the room and researched wood lettering of his name to hang on the wall. It was ridiculously expensive, so I decided to try and make it myself. We went to Joanns and bought the wood lettering, paint, brushes, ribbon, and hot glue. It only took a little bit of time and it turned out so dang cute I couldn't believe that I created it!!

Halsy hung it for me using his artistic flair and it looks so fun!! So I thought I'd put a picture of my accomplishment just to brag a little because I am so proud of myself for being creative and frugal!!

New Baby Thomas

We went to Eugene to see our newest little nephew - Thomas. He is so little, I forgot how little Cameron used to be!! We love going to Eugene to see our family.....it is such a bummer that they are 2 hours away. We got our first picture of all the cousins together on this trip and it was quite hilarious, crying, pushing, and whining...but we got the job done and I think they all look quite perfect!

What's new in Carterville!

Lots of new things are happening in the Carter house! Our little guy has become a fun loving, happy, smiley, non-pukey, adorable ball of sweetness!! I don't know what happened, but he turned 5 months and I now know why people have children....(j/k Cameron). He is so observant of the world around him and loves to touch and feel everything. He now loves the excersaucer and will play in it for at least 15 minutes before getting bored.

He is also sitting up and rolling over very well. He can sit up without the boppy, but he falls too much so I feel better with the support. He loves to sit on his blanket and watch Baby Einstein with his toys while I do my work around the house! Which is so nice for me because he can entertain himself for a little while so I don't have to haul him around the house on my hip.

He also laughs constantly, we can almost get him to laugh on command, but he loves to giggle and talk. He gets very excited when we sing...he loves when you sing to him!! he also likes to be scared a little (peek-a-boo, mommy's gonna get you!). We have so much fun getting him belly laughing and then we are laughing and the chain continues!!
