Happy Birthday Carter!

Like any other little kid, Carter has been counting down the months, weeks and days until his birthday. It finally arrived and he was so excited! Carter is now seven years old. And with it came a brand new bike, some cool Hot Wheels trick tracks, new clothes and other odds and ends. We are adopting the every other year birthday party schedule and this year is an off year. We decided to go up to SLC and spend it with my family since we were headed up that direction anyway for a baby blessing. We decided to go bowling with anyone that could come. We had pizza, talked and bowled until Carter said he wanted to go home for presents, cake and ice-cream. Carter had a great birthday and has had so much fun with the gifts he was given. I love this guy so much! Although he can be trying at times, he is my sweet boy. Carter loves to be out playing and doesn't care who is playing with him. He can be alone or with other kids, it doesn't matter to him cause he will have a good time no matter what. He creates his own fun. Sometimes I have found him in his room sleeping or quietly playing a game by himself. He likes to make signs and hang them on the walls at home or on our front door. Mostly they are about Hot Wheels or have recently been about his upcoming birthday. Carter likes to get online and go to hotwheels.com and check out race tracks that others have made or find new products that he really needs. He will print them out for me and tell me this is what he wants for his birthday or Christmas. It's just to easy to shop for him! I can't believe my little "hunk-a-chunk" is seven years old, in first grade and well on his way to being a great son and brother. We all love him so much!
