The Many Faces of Karter

Karter is growing up so fast. It's hard for me to believe that he's really old enough to go to school. I know it's only preschool which amounts to 2 hours three days a week but still preschool is the beginning of it all. Luckily for me Karter misses the dead line for school and will have two years of preschool before he goes to kindergarten.

I love to snap pics of Karter when he sleeps in the car. He ALWAYS looks like this! Its so funny. He is completely out...couldn't care less about one thing or another.

Love this kid!

Karter loves baseball (big suprise). Him and Hud spend most of their days playing pretend baseball where one throws a pretend ball and the other bats it with his "bat". Then they run the bases in the kitchen and slide into home.
Any-who...Karter likes to pretend he's the kneeler-down aka the catcher. He figured out a way to make his own catchers mask. I do believe this is one of the funniest things I have seen!

I'm never quite sure what I am going to turn around and see my kids doing from one minute to the next. At this moment it was Karter slathering lotion all over himself.

So it's been a REALLY long time since I've blogged. Sorry Grandma. I am finally up and running again with a computer that will let me upload my pics :). Gotta love having your own personal IT guy for your neighbor.
I am going to do a little bit of back tracking to fill in the gaps for the last two months. We have had so much going on. It seems like the weeks are just flying by and all of the sudden it's time for the holidays.

I love this pic!! It totally catches the essence of Hudson. He has everyone fooled. He's so cute and lovable. He will snuggle with you and love on you but....this kid has a naughty streak in him. He is our problem child. He beats up his brother, says things like "stupid" when he knows he's going to find himself in timeout for it and makes you laugh when you are trying so hard not to.
One night Karter came out and asked me for a snack I told him no because we had just eaten. He said ok and went back in the bedroom with Hudson. Pretty soon here comes Hudson asking for a snack I told him no and he said "ok" and walked back to the room. As he's walking back Karl and I hear him say to Karter "Karter Mommies Dupid(stupid)" Karl and I were holding back the laughter. I said "Hudson!" He said "Oh! Sorry."
There's been a few times I have gone looking for him when he needs a timeout and I have called out his name and I can hear him saying "Hide! Hide!" It is so funny! He hasn't learned that he shouldn't think every thought out loud.

While we were in North Dakota Sam's dog had puppies. They were the darn stinking cutest things...all fat and rolly polly. Hudson was/is scared to death of the little guys. Mom told Sam that he could keep one and Hudson takes off screaming and yelling if it comes within 10 feet of him. None of us really know why. We have a dog and the little munchkins torture him so it's a little confusing.
Karter thought they were great. He loved that he could carry them around and that they would lick him.

Hudson and Karter were so excited when Shaylee was born. We went and saw her at the hospital and Hudson feel in love. He wouldn't let anyone else have a turn holding her once he got his chubby little hands on her. So cute!!
Karter Jay was also loving having a new baby to snuggle with. He however would share her if he was asked.
