Carter's last trip as an only child

I've been wanting to do something fun with Carter since he doesn't even know what is coming! There are only 2 weeks left until our baby arrives and I'm afraid he's going to have a hard time adjusting. So we had a fun filled day in Boise and just played with him all day. I'm not so sure he loved the zoo or discovery center as much as he loved having both his mom and dad's attention ALL day. It was so fun to play with him and show him new things. I was so glad we did it.

By the tiger!

I love my little Carter Man!

Carter is 2!!

My little boy is all grown up and I can hardly believe it! We had a great time celebrating his birthday. He had just a few of his closest friends over for a playdate and cupcakes. Jace, Finn, and Monroe were all born with in 2 1/2 months of each other and we also had Mikey there who is 3 (Monroe's older brother).

Carter mostly just licked the frosting off of everything and didn't eat much cake.

Carter's buddie Jace LOVED the cupcakes!

We suprised him with a little trike that he LOVES!

And he also loved his basketball hoop!

We had my parents, Justin & Carrie, Chad's parents and our nephew Stephen and his girlfriend come down for the family party the night before. It was a lot of fun! We ate pizza and watermelon.
I made this cake! I was pretty happy with how it turned out considering it was all from scratch!

At the end of all the parties, Carter was so pooped, he fell asleep at the dinner table one night!

For Blog book purposes I needed to add these in. Chad's mom took these and she did a FANTASTIC job! And it was so much fun! So glad I have these!!

Carter's 2 Year Old Pictures

We did Carters 2 year old shots last weekend and here are a few of my favs. His 2 favorite things are DADDY and TOOLS right now. So that's what we used as props.

Baby shower #2 in Rupert

My best bud Aubrey was kind enough to throw me a baby shower in my home town where we both grew up. Her sister Bridget is expecting also so it was a double baby shower. I love these girls like my second family!
The pregnant girls. Im having a girl and Bridget is having a boy!

Matching outfits!

It was alot of fun seeing a few friends from Rupert and getting to catch up. I never took a picture of all my stuff but i got alot of clothes and blankets! It was a great day!

Swimming lessons

At the last second I signed Carter up for a Mommy and Me class at the Y. It was so much fun and Im glad I did it. He LOVED going down the slide (until he accidentally went under the water once...woops) and he loved splashing and jumping off the side. He was such a trooper! Today was the last day, but Im thinking we will do another class sometime. He is still afraid of the water a little and doesn't like to be dunked. My friends husband came one day to watch and he got some cute pictures. Here's a few....

Carter and Jace. The best of buddies!

Baby Shower #1

I have an amazing family who is always so good about throwing baby/wedding showers for each of the cousins. And they know how to party! My aunt and cousins threw this shower for me in Idaho Falls last weekend and it was such a great time! It had a princess theme and we made princess hats and wands and made hairbows! I know have a new hobby that i am addicted to! And as always, the food was amazing!

Ok this picture is out of place, for some reason i can't move it, but i wanted to show off my new nursing cover that my awesome friend Aubrey made! I love it!!

Heres all the hair bows we made and a few i have collected.

And all my loot!

I brought the princess poster home from my shower and this is what Carter does all day. He lays on top of it and kisses all the princesses...uh oh...i am in trouble!

And just for the record, heres me at 30 weeks!
