Carter is 4!

Carter turned four on Wed! This year has gone by so fast. He has turned into a big boy so quick. He is now old enough to argue, talk back, and fight with his brother! But, he is also old enough to give lots of hugs and kisses and say "i love you mamma" fifty times a day! He is such a sweet little boy. He makes us laugh so much. I've posted some pics from his birthday. He is not having his party until the 15th. Last year my grandma gave me a pampered chef "celebrate plate." It's a special plate that you can use for birthdays, anniversaries, victories...all sorts of stuff. This was our first time to use it. Carter loved it. We made him cinnamon rolls for breakfast and he got to eat them on the celebrate plate. He loved that. We got him a birthday boy ribbon that he wore to school, and he got to open one present...a new Thomas train. There is also a picture of Carter with his friend Caitlin (Darlene's daughter). Thank you for the mystery machine Mrs. Darlene! Carter had a great birthday- he even stayed on green at school (now that's an accomplishment)!

Goodbye Singleton!

Well, we had our old house on the market for 2 DAYS and we got an offer for our full asking price! Because of the storm, everything got thrown way of schedule. We received the offer at the end of August and we finally closed on Wed! It was a little sad because it was our 1st home and we have brought both of our children home from the hospital to that house! Lots of memories made. We made that home our own. It's ironic that we finally got to the point where we could really start fixing up the place, and then we moved. Eric redid the bathroom and both bedrooms. He did such a beautiful job. But, we feel blessed every day to we wake up in our new home! We love this place so much. We can't wait to make all new memories in our new home. It sure was worth the wait. GOODBYE SINGLETON!

Fall Fest 08/ Colt's 1st Halloween!

Well it was weeks in the making...but Fall Festival has already come and gone! We had a great night. We had about 450 people squeeze into our Family Life Center last Friday! We had such a great turnout. This was the first year that we have done major advertising for this event. Darlene Johnson and I went on 2 news stations! It was such a whirlwind of a week. Lots of long hours...but it was worth it. Thank you so much Darlene for being there with me every step of the way! I would not have made it without you! And thank you so much mom, dad, Natalie, & cousin Jess for helping out with my children. Eric had a game on Friday night so I was the Fall Fest director and mom of 2 at the same time! (an impossible task) Jessica helped all day and took Carter around all night! He had so much fun. Angie brought Colt to the festival for me (after watching him all day) and mom and dad helped out with him until I was finished cleaning up! Colt had a wonderful 1st Halloween. I even got to take a break from work and go on a hayride with the boys! Thanks again everyone! We love you.
