Every little boys dream

A play room full of fun!

Let's pack up and move

This post is a little out of order, but with the end of school and MOVING, things got a little crazy! :) At the end of last month we packed up our whole house, called the moving company, and moved into our new dream house. Carter was ever so helpful . . .

After snapping these pictures Carter decided he wanted in on the picture taking action, so he took some of mom and him. I don't know why, but I truly love this picture!

At the end of the day I wanted some parting shots from our first house in Papillion. Though we love our new home, I will always have fond memories of this house. I loved it from the minute I saw the white porch. I already miss the porch and the memories we made there, but I know this house has so much in store for us!

Carter's new play set

Since the big move we've been busy settling in. Since we got a new house, and Carter has WAY out grown his last play set, we decided it was time to find a new play set for him. He LOVES it! I think that he has been eating every dinner out there and enduring the hot Nebraska heat to play in the sand box area. It will be a great play area for years to come.

Deanna Rose

Last weekend, we made a quick trip to KC to see some friends and family. Right before we headed out of town we went to a place called Deanna Rose in Overland Park. It is a farmstead that is FREE to visit during the week. While we were there we saw goats, chickens, horses, and cows. Carter really likes animals, so he had a great time!

Hello, goat!

More cowbell, dad!

Happy Easter!

We spent the weekend with Dustin's parents. Carter really enjoyed having Grandma and Grandpa around to play with. Easter morning Carter enjoyed hunting for Easter eggs.

He liked putting them into his basket (until he found out there was candy in them, then it was more about the candy than anything else . . .)

Checking out the goods from the Easter bunny (grandma and grandpa ;)

In the afternoon there was a little sun, so we took the opportunity to go to Halleck Park (or to the orange slide as Carter calls it).

For the first time he wanted to check out the tire climbing strucutre. He's not quite big enough to do it on his own, but he did enjoy being up high.

Spring has finally SPRUNG!

It's our favorite time of the year. We can finally leave our house more than just to run in and out of our car. Our favorite living space is now available . . . outside! Carter is having a great time getting to know all his outdoor toys again.

His beloved big blue ball is out and ready to rumble.

First, he has to size up the situation . . .

Then pounce and ride . . .

Finally, a little fall, just to do it all over again!

We got Carter a plasma car, because he L O V E S it at "school" (aka day care). Well, now he is quite content to ride on the tricycle grandma and grandpa got him last year that he wouldn't even get near. Oh, well. The plasma car holds up to 260 lbs. It's good fun for mom and dad! :)

Showing us how it is done!

And finally, his new favorite toy, a plastic spoon. I don't even know where he found it. However, he is full of pure joy flinging it into the air and then picking it up over and over again.

Puzzle time

Listen to Carter J's transportation noises :)
