With this post I finally finished my goal of catching up with all the pictures that I missed posting over the last several months. For some reason I can't find all the videos I would have liked to share, but oh well. :) Here are a few more shots to finish out the summer. Aren't my boys just the cutest, most handsome things you've ever seen?! Carter is growing up so much, and 8 out of 10 times him and Joey get along like best friends. Carter still loves to watch Toy Story and it's very rare when he falls asleep during watching them, but with a set up like that how can anyone resist?
Carter is definitely a little boy, even though he loves the color pink and purple. A couple of months ago he got into this shooting fetish where everything became a gun. One day when we were coming home from Grandma's house he kept making a gun noise and then say, "Oh, Andy died." Andy and him like to play video games together.
We've also enjoyed some great times with our friends James and Kelly. They brought us back some of the coconut syrup from Hawaii that we all love, so we had to have a pancake breakfast to celebrate the deliciousness of the syrup. Granted our blueberry pancakes weren't on the same level as the macadamia nut, but the syrup made it all worth it. Carter and James's birthdays are close together in July so we had more cake, but of course the candles were Carter's favorite part.




Another one of our favorite summer things has been checking our garden. Our tomatoes and peppers still really haven't turned colors yet, but its fun to check on them. We also have raspberry bushes from the previous owners, and even though they didn't produce much fruit it was still fun to go out and pick them. We plan on being much better with our garden next year.
One of Christina's old roommates had a baby boy in August and she had a super cute shower the day of Carter's birthday in July. So while the boys made the cake and finished cleaning, Christina was able to enjoy some girl time with old college friends.
Here are a few more pictures of Mike pulling out the stumps in our backyard. There were 12 in all, and our Jeep did pretty good. A couple of them he had to soak to make them easier to pull out, but he pulled them all out within about an hour and a half. Of course we ran out of time and money this summer to build our own deck, but now that the stumps are gone that will be the first thing we do next summer. We just loving being able to work on our house!
