Charlotte, NC








After our trip to Nashville, we decided to visit our freinds the Kyles in Charlotte, NC. The Tuan's also traveled to NC with is to visit. It was great to see the Kyle's house and even better to have the three boys (Carter, Lucas, and Edwin) together. We spend one day at Wrightsville Beach and swam in the Atlantic Ocean.

Nashville, TN

We traveled to Nashville, TN to celebrate Grandma Vesta's birthday. We had a great time and were able to visit the Grand Ole Opry, Opryland Hotel, Ryman Auditorium, and go on the General Jackson boat. Grandma and Carter had a great time with each other as well.

Camping with the Humphrey's

Carter went on his first camping trip to Bumping Lake near Chinook Pass. We all had a great time with our friends the Humphreys.




Carter's 1st Birthday

Carter's 1st birthday party was a lot of fun. He enjoyed his cake and gifts, but most of all the company. He was more excited about playing with the kids than anything else.

Camping with the boys

We went on a camping retreat with our church 5/19 - 5/21. We had a lot of fun over the weekend including taking the boys on a hike. Carter is giving me the look as if he isn't up to hiking in the picture on the bottom.

9 months old

Carter went to the doctor Monday, May 15th for his 9 month wellness check. He is 21 lbs. and 14 oz. (75%) and 30 1/4 inches (97%). The doctor said he is moving right along his own growth curve. Carter is crawling, climbing up on things, and cruising...walking while supporting himself. He is talking up a storm but the only recognizable words are versions of Dada and cat.

First Mother's Day

We had a great time celebrating Mother's Day at our house. It is such a joy to be a Mother...it's the best job I've ever had.

Bloomsday 10K Run

Carter completed his first Bloomsday this May! He worked hard sleeping the first five miles, relaxing for the next mile and then he was carried to the finish line. He had so much fun at the end when he could really see everything that he giggled for the last mile and a half. His friend Lucas slept the whole race, but woke up just in time to cross the finish line.




After run fun...
We took the little guys around Riverfront Park where the race ends. We went on the carousel, fed the ducks and went down the Radioflyer slide.
