Carter invented a new superhero. This is SPIDER-BAT. He came down wearing his spiderman suit with his batman cape on his head.

Andee's short visit

After the reunion Andee came home with us for a couple days.

Mettenbrink reunion

more mommy time

Carter was " helping" me by holding Brooklyn

The reunion was also Hailee's actual birthday so my mom bought a big cake and brought it up to the reunion and had everyone sing happy birthday to her. I think she felt pretty special.

She is so cuuuuute

Brooklyn gettin some some time with mommy.

Carter drinking his pop. Unfortunately Carter loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooves pop.

Carters birthday

For Carters birthday we just had a real small gte together with my mom and dad and a few friends. It was a nice time and I think Carter felt special.

Carters Cake

This was Carters cake that I made, it was a double decker marble cake. I made a track down the middle with icing and then outlined with yellow m&m's and bought some hot wheels to line the "street" up with. It tuned out really cute and it was deeeeeeelicious.

I was preety dang proud of that cake, it almost hurt when we cut it to serve it.

Random pics and Wheelbarrow

one of the kiddos' favorite thing to do is go for a ride in the wheelbarrow, its awfully funny

my mom with Brook

Coppertone Baby

We spend ALOT of time at the pool so the kiddos all have a nice tan to them but Brooklyn has the best tan line, it is sooooooooooooooooo cute.

Gone but not Forgotten

Yesterday my parents made the tough and heartfelt decision to put our beloved dog Abby to sleep because she was old, sick, and in constant pain. She would have been 15 years old in September which is obviously really long for a dog to live. I got Abby for my 13th birthday. She was a really good and special dog. She was really loved by all who knew her especially my kiddos. She will be very missed. We love you Abby. Gone but never forgotten
Hailee and Abby, when we lived there Abby and Hailee were the best of friends

Giving daddys car a washin'

so here she is walking away

I looooooooooooooooooooooove this picture!

Brook did not like the hose

great action shot of daddy spraying them with the hose

Brooklyn

IF you are wondering why all the pictures are from either the side or from the back it's because our camera broke and all we have is our videocamera which works great for video but it is slow when taking pictures so trying to capture teh cute things a 19 month old does is not very easy until we buy a new camera.

She stole the sponge that Jason and the kids were suing to wash his car

Brooklyn and her cute swimsuit.
