Our little reader

Carter J LOVES books. Always has. Of course, as a teacher this makes me very proud :) I thought you might enjoy some footage of him reading. Also, towards the end you can see him point out a dog on the cover of one of his discarded book. Enjoy!

Memorial day weekend

Happy Memorial Day! We spent the weekend at and around home. On Saturday we went to the children's museum and saw Clifford, then came home for a quick dip in the pool. Sunday we visited Louisville State Park to take Carter to the "beach." He liked it more than we expected and got a little wetter than we anticipated. Today we spent the day around the house and Carter got to play with his new water toys -- a water table and a sprinkler ball. We had a great weekend, hope you did too!

Playing in the kitchen

Bowling Carter style

Carter's grandma Widner got him a bowling set awhile ago. He has recently started "bowling," Carter style. It is more of an attack than rolling the ball, but lots of fun to play!

First zoo trip of the season

We woke up Friday morning to grey skies and rain. After Carter's nap the sun came out and we decided to try the zoo. I wasn't sure Carter would be all too happy about being in his stroller for so long, but he loved it! I'm excited to go back when all the animals are out to see how much Mr. Bubba enjoys that.

Off to the zoo.


Mesmerized by the jungle waterfall.


The flash is TOO bright mama.


"Whoa!" look at that.

So many things to look at, but I'd rather look at dad. :)

Check out those fish!

What are you doing goat?

Happy boy!

When Carter is happy he makes this little "dubadubaduba" sound. He also has picked up a new word -- whoa -- which is one of the cutest things in the world. Enjoy!
