Baseball, baseball, and more baseball!

C got his face painted at the Farmer's Market today...
To no surprise, he wanted a baseball.

Carter LOVES sports...he just can't get enough. Is that just an innate quality of the male species??? We may have mounting evidence! :)
While Carter loves basketball, he's quickly become one of the "boys of summer" wanting to wear baseball shirts, his "batting sleeves" (wristbands with baseballs on them), and playing baseball every chance he gets.
This week, he gave me a lesson playing catch. It was too cute receiving instruction through Carter that obviously had come from Daddy originally! :)
Here are some pics of our fun the last few days...

Can we say "Defense?"
C was practicing his moves on Isaac at our community group picnic.

Fish Food

Today was yet another gloomy day overhead, so it was the perfect day for a little indoor fun! Carter and I headed to the Aquarium restaurant with Don-Don to eat and watch the fish. At first, Carter wasn't so sure about the big tank, but he warmed up pretty quickly. :) From the picture above, you can tell he was tuckered out after all the excitement! Fish, eel, and sharks...oh my!

Surfer Dude

This is as close as C would get to that shark. :)

Summer Fun!

I hope these aren't the beginning stages of OCD! :)

We've been so excited for summer to come, and it's finally here! (Okay, not officially, but for a teacher's schedule it is!) As such, Carter and I began our summer fun painting pottery and hanging out at the factory. We're looking forward to making a scrapbook together of all our summer fun...in the meantime, here are a few pics from today! :)

Yummy-Chocolate Ice Cream!

Say cheese!

Rockin' & rollin' at the factory

At it again...Carter got a hold of my computer
while I was getting ready this morning. Here's my fave. Such a ham!

Carter's Prayer

Carter's been praying this prayer, and I thought it was SO sweet that it should be shared!

"Thank you God for this day and,
For my family and my friends.
Help me do the things I should,
And to others be kind and good.
Amen."

LOVE IT!!
Tonight, when I went to leave his room for bedtime he said, "Don't go, Mommy! I want to keep you." Those are some of the greatest words a Mommy can hear!! :)

Happy Bday, Nana!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA!!
We love you!!
Here's a special drawing just for you...
