Carter: When is dad going to be home?
Mom: After he is done working.
Carter: No, I think that he is coming home now.
Mom: How do you know that?
Carter: Because I am an expert!
Mom: Who made you an expert?
Carter: God did!
Carter: An expert is someone who knows lot's of
things and I know lots of things!
After a wonderful homemade dinner that my mom made we went fast food style for dessert! I found this idea from my new favorite blog, Bakerella, and decided to give it a try. Mind you that I have only had 1 cake decorating class so far....but I think that I did a decent job. The "Burger Basket" was made from cupcakes, brownies and sugar cookies! I even went the extra mile for the dads in my life and handmade all of the paper serving stuff.
My Father-in-Law 
My Baby Daddy - aka husband 
Fhew! Where did the last nine months go? Here are a few of her milestones in the last few months.
* Eating "real" food with her hands
* Crawling everywhere...almost ready to walk
* Waves bye-bye
* Gives Kisses
* Knows the word "no" - just doesn't obey
* Loves walks in the stroller and swinging at the park
* Is easily entertained by Carter
* Giggles, Laughs, and Smiles at anything and anyone
My Niece Skyler had her first baby last Friday. We are so proud of her, she (and he) did amazing! He is too cute and the exact same size that Elly was...it will be fun to see how the both grow. Our family had 3 new babies this year - the Holidays will never be the same!
We like to plan a long weekend getaway for memorial day each year, since both Carter's b-day and my b-day fall around that weekend it makes for a good excuse to have a little fun. This year we went to Portland & Vancouver. We had SO MUCH FUN and enjoyed our time together as our little family of four.
