Birthday Boy

My little man is 4.  Yes, Carter is still my smallest child, but so stinkin' cute! 

Carter is very smart and with that he has become somewhat mischievous and loves to do things 'secretly'. He's pretty darn good at it too. He can be a sneaky one.  :o)

Carter doesn't like pictures taken of him.  I think last year I took over 40 pictures at Halloween just to try and get a picture of him with his eyes open and at least looking somewhat at the camera.  This is the best I got.

If you know Carter, you know he loves movies.  Today on his birthday he wanted to watch movies.  So, as we speak, we are watching his favorite, Elmo.  

He also likes to play dress up.  This nice hot summer day they decided to play with the winter stuff.

Carter does not like his hair cut.

Carter loves his brother...most of the time they get along great.

People do not believe me when I tell them he is 4.  They think he and Cody are twins. Although they may be the same size, they are so different and over 2 years apart.

He loves his sister too...

I love when I get a genuine smile from Carter...it melts my little heart!

Carter loves to help cook.  His favorites are pop-up pancakes and noodles. 

Carter also loves reeses peanut butter cups.

His favorite color is 'all the colors'.

This year Carter picked spiderman as his birthday theme.

Here are some pictures from his party:

Singing Happy Birthday

As soon as the the words "...happy birthday to y..." were sung, those candles were blown out.  He was ready!

Carter got many presents this year...spiderman undies!

Spiderman umbrella

Spiderman scooter

And much more...

We had a family party this year, maybe next year we'll attempt friends too??  We'll see...

Here's the crew (minus Gwen):

Happy Birthday Carter!

We love you so much and are so proud of the choices you are making in your life!
