He earned it!

Carter has been saving all summer for an electric scooter. He saved all of his birthday money, allowance money and tooth fairy money, and last week, he finally had enough! We headed to Bellingham and Carter got to finally see all of that hard work pay off. One brand new, shiney electric scooter! The only bummer was that it had to charge 18 hours before use, so he had to wait a whole day to try it out!

This thing goes 10 mph, so daddy had to go over safety and operation techniques.

I think all of that power made him a little nervous at first!
We weren't quite sure he knew how to stop, so a little more teaching was needed.
There's the confident little stinker that we all know and love...he's been zipping around on that thing ever since!
These two little guys were pretty jealous of Carter and wanted a turn, but not for a few years.
Coleson at 3- His favorite color is orange, he is still busy and into everything, he loves Mickey Mouse, he loves reading stories and singing songs, he is very quick to tell you who he likes and doesn't like, he started Sunday School and Children's Church and the teachers have negative feedback for me every week, he loves watching brother and sister play soccer, he loves snacks, he doesn't like time outs (but gets many of them), he is a terrible sleeper, he loves to cuddle!
Weston at 3- He is our happy-go lucky boy, he has the biggest heart, he loves wrestling with Carter, he likes counting to 10 and singing ABC's, he is a big fit thrower, he is a great sleeper, he likes helping mom in the kitchen, he likes making forts with his brothers, he loves movie nights, there's no one that he doesn't like, he does great in Sunday School and Children's Church and follows directions well, he says "I love you mom" multiple times a day, he is very silly!


Ava waiting for her turn on Carter's scooter. I think she's probably put more miles on it than he has! She was saving for a Nintendo DS, but I think she might reconsider. :)
