March Madness!

Think Carter is ready?!

Spring Break Fun!

I can't believe Spring Break is already over! Last week was just THE BEST!! We had a few fun outings... Carter's first trip to Home Depot with Daddy - yikes! Of course Tim said he loved it - scary for me...2 boys who go crazy over HD! We went to a Williams family dinner at Japon celebrating everyone's birthdays from February & March (which was 6 of us, wow!). We took a trip with DD, Ava and Truett to the Sharkarosa Wildlife Ranch in Pilot Point to see / pet some cool animals! We went to dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings to meet Jackson & Jocelyn (and of course their parents & some other friends) to watch some March Madness (and reak havoc on the poor restaurant). We also had some visitors to the house throughout the week...Uncle Michael & Cate came over for dinner one night & brought over some super cool birthday presents for Carter (including a Little People Zoo, all kinds of animals, a Purdue jersey & Michigan basketball shorts - precious! I guess if Carter doesn't go to Texas, I'd be ok with either of those 2 Big 10 schools). ;) Cameron came over to play with Carter a few times & we even got a visit from Kristen, Brayden and Nana Stephanie! Boy does Carter LOVE having friends over to play!! Other than that, we spent the rest of the week hanging out & playing, playing, playing!! And I would venture to guess that 99% of our playing was done OUTSIDE. This boy...as soon as he wakes up, he wants to go outside. It's all he studies...and that is ok with Mommy!!! You can see that most of our outside playing had to do with helping in the yard & playing tee ball / basketball. Daddy is sure proud of him!!! Tim says golf clubs are next! :) What a great week!

1st birthday celebration!

Carter had such an AWESOME 1st birthday celebration! These first few pictures are from dinner on Saturday night. Gigi, Pappy, Grandma (Carter's Great Grandma), Uncle Scotty, Rachel and Alex were all in town from Houston for the night. So we went out for a little birthday celebration dinner. We gave C a cupcake, and the sequence of pictures below expresses exactly what happened! (I think the tears / meltdown had more to do with how long dinner took & how it was past bath / bedtime!) His actual birthday party was Sunday afternoon & it was SO FUN! He had SO many people there celebrating with him. All our family from Houston, Tim's whole family including all of Carter's cousins & then tons of friends as well. I know Carter felt so loved (and we felt so blessed that so many people were there to celebrate this special occasion with him). His party was at The Little Gym, and it was GREAT! The kids had an absolute blast running around like crazy. And the girls who "led" the party were very sweet & did a good job keeping the kids entertained. The end pictures are of Carter playing with some of his gifts that evening...and the last two pictures are PRICELESS. He LOVED his balloons...and he held one, while he ate his entire dinner. So sweet! Can't believe our little man is 1! :)
