Carter's Birthday

Yesterday was Carter's birthday party and we had lots of friends and family over to help us celebrate him.  

Here is my attempt to make a space cake- specifically Jupiter.  It's an ice cream cake with oreo cookie base and chocolate cupcakes.  Yummy...

Already diving into his new space books.

Today, Sunday was his actual birthday and he chose where we went to dinner- Moe's.  Needless to say, he is definitely my kid because I love Mexican food.

Bubbles!

Happy Birthday Carter.

I hope you remember the yellow balloons and know how much I love you.

Almost 5

Carter's birthday is on Sunday and I guess I am feeling a little nostalgic. I was going through old pictures and I just can't believe how he's changed.  When you bring your little bundle home from the hospital you have no idea how it will change your life.  Carter has taught me so much about myself and about life. 

This is my favorite picture being pregnant for Carter.  It was just before my shower that Netty, my sister in law, had for me.  

My brother took this picture when Carter was about 4 days old.

My brother took this one too.  I just love his eyes!  Matt really captures a moment.

He was about a year old here.

This was when he turned one.

And now he is 5.

Law turns 3

Law wanted a Word World cake.  He loves the show.  If you don't know the show this cake probably really looks weird!  I did my best to create something similar to the one on the show and he loved it, especially the m&m's.

Cupcakes too.  The yellow ones are duck and the green are frog.

Birthday boy.

Cousin Preston, he's 3 too and loves cake!
