Heading into July in Houston

Broke through the triple digits today.. around 102 degrees.

It was hot but not as bad as I anticipated, maybe that's because unless we are at the pool, we gotta stay indoors!

A guy on our team has a bird that Carter loves =) 

 One of Carter's little friends, Capri, likes to tell him what to do, and he just does it lol.  She wanted to brush his hair, so she held him still while she could do that =)

 Silly little kids in masks!

 His faces absolutely crack me up. And the fact that he puts little balls in between his toes.

 This was Father's Day... really wore Carter out

 I bought Carter this Melissa & Doug wooden food set. He can "cut" the foods, but they velcro back together.. He LOVES these things...

 He drags them all over the house, including along the tub while I am taking a bath. So relaxing, let me tell ya

 Last week, we made a trip down to Galveston! It was Carter's first time ever at the beach and it was SO FUN. He loved the sand and he loved the water. And he always loves playing with the fun group of kids we've got out here.

 Funniest story:
Carter loves chasing birds.
He started running after seagulls and pigeons at the beach and I just thought it was funny- poor kid will never catch one! He grabs a bucket and runs after them again, which is even funnier, and then he actually catches a pigeon in his bucket!! I couldn't believe it. I made him let the pigeon go, but after that Carter still wouldn't stop... He caught another pigeon with his bare hands! Who knew I had a little bird catcher?!

 Trip to Sam's club the other day. As tradition whenever I get raspberries, Carter gets to hold the whole tray on the way home ;)

 Dinner Saturday night after the boys hit their goal. Carter and his buddy Kaden behaved while watching Ratatouille.. Works every time ;)

 Look at that tan little boy with his white bum!

Already June

Can't believe our summer is already almost half done.. it's been fun so I can't complain.  Here's some goodies from the past couple weeks.

I let Carter cuddle with me before his nap one day... and then he fell asleep in my lap! I love it

I turned 28.. yippee!

Carter's friend Capri finally got out here so they have a great time at the pool everyday.. and playing with dogs

We ordered Carter this little truck loader track which he LOVES.. here's my boys setting it up =)

My parents and sister came to town! Carter really liked hangin with "papa."

And swimming with papa

Mel and me!

We took Carter to the kids museum on a free day... it was so awesome!

This old school phone robot was way cool

Carter really loved pretending to drive the cop car. So did Aaron

And we finally spotted the vivint billboard that was promised would be up in downtown Houston. So far not huge results, but at least it familiarizes people with the company. The boys are still selling great, and Aaron had his best week last week!

As requested

I've become rather lax with my blog updating. My brother-in-law reminded me of this. So here's a TON of pictures and updates from the Lonestar state!

I took Carter to NASA a few weeks ago.

Does this picture not look like it belongs on the packaging, advertising for a toy rocket? 

Typical Carter.. lining  them all up in a row. I didn't even have to fight him to leave them behind in the gift shop. He's a good little boy

The battle to get him to eat healthy (or anything at all) continues. But lately he really loves noodles with tomato sauce. I am ecstatic, even though he's stained 80% of his clothes.

We went to an Astros game, which I anticipated being terribly hot. But it was covered, indoors! Made it so much more enjoyable.

We all look rather weird in this picture.

My stylish little man with his green drink

I have never seen a more animated kid. His faces are unreal, and he does them on command

His "happy" face

Kemah boardwalk. Love this place. The city was totally taken out by hurricans, but they've since rebuilt it up and it's a really cute place for Carter to chase the seagulls and go on rides.

No pants and no shoes. Disheveled hair, and blanket worn as a scarf. ??

Mother's Day at nursery =) The meanie wouldn't pose with me very well

My family sent me a picture of their mother's day. They are so cute

Carter again with his spaghetti.. offering me a noodle... no thanks

Like father like son. The boys napping on a Sunday, then once awake, digging through ice cream outta the carton. Of course

Play place =)

As I took this picture, I thought, well this is an accident waiting to happen. And it did. He took a tumble

Me and Carter took a little road trip to Dallas to see my bff Jenna and her family (my cousin Bennett)

We hit up a Rangers game,, super fun

Carter taking a bath with his 2nd cousin, Avarie

Avarie's uncle Reece (my cousin) reading the kiddos a book before bed

Carter lately has taken a liking to my cooking utensils. The wire whisk he thinks is a rocket

We intended to go to the zoo one afternoon, but had so much fun outside, we didn't even need entertainment of animals =) Carter sure loves being with daddy

The zodiac animals.. this was random

Our animals, whatever that really means..

Carter loves trains.. still

This past week, I took Carter to the aquarium downtown.

Random that this is in an aquarium with fish, but they had this awesome white bengal tiger. So pretty

I buzzed Carter's hair. It's super cute, but something about it looks white trash to me lol.. don't tell him

And the boys went and played softball one morning. I had just bought Carter a foam bat and ball, and he had such a blast playing with Aaron =)
