Truth

The last couple of weeks

This was last weekend after church

Alexis was anxious to wash her dishes and Carter wanted to follow her.  I definitely didn't have any complaints about that!!

I snagged these next two pics of Alexis before going to school. I thought she looked pretty dang cute.

The next several pics were yesterday.  Every year here in St. George they have this thing called a kite festival.  I guess people fly kites during the day. Anyways, we went in the evening with some friends to listen to some live A Capella music and watch fireworks afterwards.  There were a bunch of people so we had to park and take a bus that shuttled us over to it.

The girl on the left is a friend of the kids from daycare.  They found each other at the place and hung out.  This was during the fireworks.

These last two pics were tonight.  We went for a little walk and I snagged a couple pics overlooking St. George.

Easter!

The first two pictures were on Friday. They did an Easter egg hunt at the daycare and I showed up just in time to take some pics of Carter (Alexis had hers in the morning). This morning I woke up early and hid the eggs and then went back to sleep. Well, Carter woke up before everyone and went downstairs and wanted to watch a movie. While he was down there he moved a couple of the eggs (not fully realizing the concept of the Easter egg hunt). So after finding most of the eggs it put all of us on a hunt because even Carter couldn't remember what he did with them! It was fun and we found them all. Ha ha ha!

It was a relaxing day and we went on a walk a little before dinner. We had a lot of fun!

Alexis' 5th Birthday

Friday was Alexis' birthday. I can't believe she is 5 ALREADY! It blows me away how big she is getting! It was a fun day but much more laid back than Carter's birthday. Up until the day of her birthday she said she wanted to go to the same place we went for Carter's bday. I got off work a few hours early and picked them up and asked Alexis where she wanted to go or what she wanted to do. She said she wanted to go to the pet store and see all the puppies. I asked if she was sure and let her know that we could do whatever she wanted and she confirmed that she wanted to go to the pet store. That's the one thing that I don't have pictures of but we had a lot of fun.

Alexis enjoyed all of her presents and was thankful for all she got. I would like to say thank you to the grandparents and great grandparents that sent gifts.

Carter's 3rd Birthday!

Last Tuesday was Carter's birthday. It was one of the best days that I have had in a while, and I know that it was for Carter also. I got off work early to go celebrate his birthday with his class at daycare. Carter really wanted some cupcakes so I brought some in and his class got to scarf them down. Then I took Carter and Alexis to a place called Jumpin Jacks. Its a place with a bunch of inflatable bounce houses and slides. They loved all 3 hours of it!

After dinner we had cake and ice cream and then Carter opened up his presents. He really enjoyed each one of his presents... a big thanks to everyone that sent him something. It was great watching him throughout the day with all his excitement and happiness. The pinnacle moment was when Carter told me toward the end of the day, "Dad, this is the best birthday ever!!!"
