Carter goes green!

Last weekend we went to Greenbluff with Katy & JJ!

It was perfect and not too busy, there were even
green pumpkins!

Katy & JJ with the famous Greenbluff apple cider!

We climbed the trees and picked some
red & green apples!

Carter begged us for a ride on the scale

Two perfect pumpkins for the perfect
two person family- hopefully they'll
have to get three next year!

Daddy & Carter love the pumpkin patch &
the green cart!

The sleepy bear did not want to wake up,
even for a pumpkin pic.

Carter not only had his first trip to Greenbluff, but he is now
a environmentally green baby!

Sporting his green cloth diapers...

and his wild cloth diapers...

and his yellow cloth diapers- check out that butt,
sooo cute!

In the middle of me getting a yellow diaper pictures
I think he started modeling for me- so he's
gifted and a model how exciting!
Here are the photos from our shoot...

The bright eyes shot..

The storyteller shot...

The Ryan Kiley give me a hug shot...

The pouty muscle man shot...

and the gun show shot...

He finished green week
in a green outfit with a
green Nuk in Auntie Katy's
arms- oh yeah she's green too
she make her own cleaning supplies!

Seattle & a Rattle

Nick had a reading conference in Seattle so we took
our first road trip and saw Aunt Becca & Uncle Brandon too!

What an amazing day!

Bath time is one of my favorites
no matter what town we are in...

Ho.. Ho... Ho...

His first Bubble Bath...

Yes it's true...
Carter is a celebrity at a very young age...
gifted I know....

We went to Pike Place so Carter could enjoy the fish
throwers... under that mitten he is giving
a thumbs up!

Crazy Gum Wall deserved a spot on the blog

Uncle Brandon can't wait to be a dad....

Relaxing after a long day!

Hello?

It's for you...

I love making rattle phone calls!

Too cute...

Carter in his snuggly warm bear suit from
Janny & Ryan!! I wish I could have one of these too!

So sweet all nuggled in!

Ready to go Mom!

Carter's arm went limp when he fell asleep , and we
were having too much fun playing with him! Attention!

Carter with his new friend Olive Paisley!!!

Katherine just 4 days after having Olive, two glowing moms.

Look at these two tired and beat up dads..

Bath time is Carter's favorite! He loves the water,
sometimes he relaxes so much he poops- uh oh..

One month and a few days...

For his one month birthday he went in
the crib for the first time... he
loves it, and goes in everyday and watches
his sports mobile...

Relaxing...

I think he looks gangsta in this photo!

Look at me I'm sitting up and daddy says I can't breathe
when mommy does this to me... yep I'm gifted.

His first time actually gripping the keys or his rattle!
( my favorite is when he grabs them an I come back
in and they are on his head- he can't control those arms!)

What a grip!!!

He loves bath time!! Look at that
cute naked boy!

Wrapped up in his Froggy towel

Thankful Thursday

My friend Darcy blognapped this from her friend and inspired me to do the same! I don't focus on what I am thankful for often enough!

1. My husband who also happens to be a great dad!

2. The community of friends and family that surround us here in Spokane.

3. Carter and his sweet innocence, his funny faces, and that nuggle worthy baby smell...

4. The wine club, that challenges me to grow and think more than I have in a long time.

5. The opportunity to work with teen moms, and the gift of staying home with my baby boy.

6. The fall, I can't help it it, there is just something about the colors, the smells, the crunchy leaves that makes my heart sing and my face smile!
