Elmo!!!

Since one of Mason's Christmas gifts is to go see The Lion King at the Magestic with Momo and Mommy, we thought it fitting that Carter see something too. Thankfully, Elmo was in town so Mommy and Carter headed to the FREEMAN Coliseum to see Elmo. It was a great show and we had great seats, and only $5 parking! Carter did great and sat in his own seat the entire show, but he did keep his hand on my lap the whole time! He just watched and pointed and shouted when Big Bird or Elmo or Cookie Monster came out. The only thing he didn't like was when the monsters came out into the crowd.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from our little wild animals! We went trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood and LOVED it --- we have such a great neighborhood now. The boys did a great job going up and saying "trick or treat", although Carter was a little tired so he was usually a few steps behind, but still in time for the treats!

Christmas comes early

We had a combination Thanksgiving/Whamie's Birthday/Christmas and Carter truly enjoyed himself. The day started with him admiring the standing water in the birdbath, until Robby (thankfully!) emptied the water. Carter is such a water boy and will play in it any chance he gets!

When I asked Carter what he wanted for Christmas, he told me "football game", so Robby and Trisha got him an A&M helmet and jersey, which he wore the rest of the day! He also really likes his new backpack, which he also tried to wear most of the day. And the Plasma car was another hit - keeping him busy for quite some time.

And the race is on!!!

So first picture is of Carter's first night in his new big boy bunk bed (Mason's on the top). He doesn't always stay in his own bed - but Mason has actually stayed in his every night!

This was the first time Hensley ran in a 1/2 marathon - thanks to Trisha for talking him into it. He did GREAT for his first time - the boys were so excited to see his medal (and get the snacks he gave them!). Next year, it'll be a true family affair - I'll put on my running shoes, too!
