Carter's First Real Haircut

 Carter got his first haircut at a salon.  He did really good.  Sienna helped keep him entertained.

 Unfortunately the lady did a bad job and his hair was kind of messed up.  His hair grows fast though and it was fine.  His second haircut in a salon we went to my friend who did a great job but he cried hard the whole time.

Swing Time

 When it was cool outside we enjoyed going to the park a lot.  Our kids love to swing.  Garrett got to go with us this day and Carter got really relaxed.

My Funny Kids

 Carter loves stuffed animals and all he wanted to do at Target was get them all on the floor and sit by them and lay on them.

 Watching tv.

 Eating a giant sucker.

Sienna decked out for preschool.

 Carter had a sandwich in his hand one day in the car and we kept trying to get him to eat it but he's so stubborn and he wouldn't.  So he just held it in his hand and had this pouty look on his face for the longest time.

 When Carter is sleepy in the car Sienna will hold his hand and sing to him.  It's so sweet.

 Shopping with Carter is sooo fun.

Carter's not so good at sharing and decided to just sit on Sienna so he could play.

My Sweet Boy

My sweet boy Carter has a tender heart.  He was watching Mickey Mouse one day and I heard him make some sad noises.  I looked at him and noticed he was tearing up about to cry.  I looked at the show and Goofy was sad because he thought his friends didn't want to play with him.  Carter was getting sad because Goofy was sad.  He loves Goofy.  I started comforting him and he just broke down crying.  I tried to explain that Goofy was ok.  He quickly got over it but it was so sad.  We realized we can't let him watch that certain episode or he'll cry every time.

Disney Princesses on Ice

 In January we went to the Disney Princesses on Ice.  The kids loved it, especially Sienna.  Carter took a little nap during the show.  Of course Sienna got all the popcorn, cotton candy, and snow cone she wanted.  She's our little princess.  We had great seats and it was a fun time.

Poor Carter

 Carter gets croup really bad every winter.  His first winter he had to stay overnight in the hospital.  This year we just made an ER trip and after steroids and a breathing treatment he was able to go home.  We were in the ER for about 5 hrs but he was a pretty good sport.

 He had to play with everything he could get his hands on.  He finally took a short nap.  We were so glad we were able to come home and didn't have to stay the night that night.

Happy New Year!

 For New Years we went and got a pizza and Sienna wanted some fireworks and we saw a tent set up by the pizza place so we went and got some.  We had a fun time doing our fireworks.  The last one we set off was the biggest but we didn't know it was going to be just that big.  It made a really loud noise and shot up high.  It was fun and none of our neighbors seemed to care.

Mt. Graham Dec. 2012

 The day after Christmas 2012 we went to Mt. Graham to play in the snow.  It was so cold!  Sienna and Garrett had fun sledding down a little hill.  Carter didn't really like the cold so he messed around in Grandpa's truck.

 Grandpa was throwing snowballs at the windshield and Carter thought it was awesome.

 
 
 Sienna was freezing but had fun and wanted to keep going.  She's a fun and brave kid.

 

Christmas 2012

 Carter played with the tree a lot this year but I expected that.  I let Sienna decorate it by herself with Garrett's help.

 Anytime I take Sienna's picture, Carter says cheese so I take his picture too.

  We made our gingerbread house.  Carter ate a few candies and Sienna decorated the whole thing and ate a few candies too.

Me and the kids Sunday before Christmas.  Garrett had to stay home and work so he came down to Safford on Christmas Eve.

 Carter and Brad.

Carter was so sick on Christmas Eve but he made it to Grandma Lynn's to the party.  Luckily on Christmas he was feeling better.

 Santa's milk and cookies Sienna left out.  He ate almost all of the cookies and drank all of the milk.

 Sienna so excited on Christmas Eve.

 Carter got a puppy from Santa.  He loves stuffed animals.  He got a basketball hoop from grandma and grandpa Moore.

 His new baseball bat.

 Sienna got a new stick horse from Santa.  She got lots of dress up stuff from grandma and grandpa Moore.  She got too many other gifts to name.  She loved Christmas.  I didn't get many pictures of us opening gifts.  I'll have to do better next year.

 
Sienna and Ivy playing on Christmas Day.  She loves all of her cousins.



Sienna's Preschool

 Sienna loves preschool.  She gets to do lots of fun stuff.  They had zebra day and it was Sienna's turn to take snacks.  She took zebra cakes and they made zebra heads out of paper bags.

One day was pajama day.  Sienna was so excited.  They got to take a stuffed animal too so she took her kitty and wore her favorite kitty pajamas.  I'm so glad we found such a good preschool for her.  She loves it and has made a lot of new friends.
