What a year!

It really is amazing what can happen in one year. My little Carter has been through so much.

Here is a little precurser to the cake. Carter LOVES food. He will eat just about anything I put in front of him. Yesterday morning he successfully got to Landen's poptart. He was very excited.

Here is the cake. Just nice and simple.

Carter had PLENTY of help opening his gift from everyone. He loved it.

Then dad had plenty of help putting stuff together. If there are tools, my kids will be there.

Carter had no problem digging right into his cake.

I can't remember why he has the scowl on his face. But it is pretty funny.

As you can see the cake was obliterated. There were just crumbs left and even then he wanted more.

Landen enjoyed the fruits of Carter's birthday. We will be using this alot, I have a feeling.

I love Carter and I am so glad he is part of our family. He is such a great kid and he adds so much happiness to our lives. He and Landen are going to be great friends and I can't wait!

Landen is 3!!!

I can't believe that Landen turned 3 yesterday! All day long I was thinking of everything that has happened in the last three years. It is incredible how fast a kid can go from baby to this. I think that Landen had a great day yesterday and below are some of the events. They are in backwards order because I was kind of in a hurry.

Landen loves sports. All sports. Lately he has been into baseball. He got a bat and ball for Easter and Grandma and Grandpa Toponce got him this wonderful tee and a mit for his birthday. He loves it. We have already been outside hitting balls this morning.

Landen was so excited for his cake. Like I said, he loves sports. He requested a football cake.

My parents also gave him this teepee. This is him, brother, and Aunt Kristen coloring in the teepee.

Rob and I got him a bike. Rob's parents got him a helmet and a great bell to go on his bike. He is getting better and better already at riding. He was so so excited!

The cake pre-party.

Landen loves the treehouse so we spent the morning there as a family. He could spend hours there!

This is one of his favorite things there. It's an archway made out of big blocks. He loves to build it up and then nock it down.

Carter had some fun too. I'm excited for when he starts walking and can really play (sort of:)

So that is our day in a nut shell. He got some wonderful gifts from everyone that loves him. We love our family and the great support they give us. We are truly blessed!
