Up in the air

This was one of the few rides that I could get some pictures of becasue on all the other rides I had to go on them with her. She is a thrill ride seeker. She really liked this one though.

Hailee, my dad, and I went on a little trip for a few day s to Adventureland Amusement Park in Des Moines, IA. Jason stayed home becasue he's a workaholic and my mom came during the day to take care of Carter. Jason said while I was gone she took over my job of taking care of him too, you know men can't survive without a good woman taking care of them. Jason was glad she was here, he said it was really helpful. We had fun, but I think Hailee was a little young to fully appreciate it, I think it was a little overwhelming for her. We stayed at Adventureland resort and has a little indoor water park, so we did alot of things and I think it was a bit too much for a just-now-five year old. She had fun though and it was nice to just be with her. I haven't blogged in a while so I have lots of pictures from the trip and other things to share.

Carter in absolute paradise

Photography by Hailee

These pictures were taken by Hailee when she had my camera without permission. I looked through my camera and saw them and Hailee was so proud of her pictures. Carter has on purple sunglasses, not blue, and also Hailee's shoes on. Goofy children.

Circus Act

These pictures crack me up. Hailee was riding the tricycle and carter opened up the back hatch and climbed in to hitch a ride. They looked like they belonged in the circus. The funniest part was where Carter was standing there was a sticker with a pair of feet exed out, meaning you were not supposed to stand there. The wheels of the tricycle kept spinning like a car does on the ice, it was too much weight. I think you had to be there to fully appreciate the humor of it.

On top of Carter being covered in my makeup, he had to complete the look by wearing Hailee's friend Aliyah's pink sunglasses and a leather jacket. Once again, Carter and his unique style take center stage. He is the funniest kid ever, not a day goes by that he doesn't make me laugh.

July 30

On Monday about noon the house grew very quiet and when that happens you know that Carter is up to no good. Sure enough, he had gottten into my makeup and was enjoying applying makeup to his face. It was so funny, he was extremely proud of himself. Instead of being mad I could not help but laugh hysterically at him.
