Carter's 3rd Birthday Party!!!





Carter's Diego party was so much fun! The kids got to play outside, which was so great considering what the weather forecast was saying! Ava, Carter, Ella, Kyler and Aiden had so much fun playing together. Carter got a lot of cool boy toys and loved his Diego cake. When we sang Happy Birthday, Carter sang along- it was pretty cute! I can't believe my baby is already 3! Boy does time fly when you're having fun!

The Farmer's Day Parade





We rode on a hay wagon pulled by one of Grandpa Al's tractors through the parade in memory of my grandpa, who died on May 18. Grandpa Al always drove one of his tractors in the parade and usually had one of the grandkids on his knee! We put the pedal tractors that grandpa gave Grant and Carter for Christmas on the hay wagon and they sat on them while Tom drove us through the parade. There was a sign on the wagon that said "In memory of our Grandpa Al. Sept. 12, 1930- May 18,2008. It was really hard, but we are so glad we did it. So many of grandpa's tractor buddies thanked us for doing it and many got choked up. He is missed by so many people already, and it's only been 3 weeks. WE LOVE YOU GRANDPA!
