May 24th - Carter's 4th birthday

Carter's birthday last year... I tried to take this same shot this year, but it's MUCH harder to get a 4-yr-old and 18-month old to sit still than a 6-month-old and 3-yr-old!














Grayson playing in the playland















Carter opening a present












can you tell it's a scooter?












Big 4-year-old!













Carter & his friends at Shiela's house

May 2 - Carter's first soccer game

Grayson wanted in on the action, too.














Listening to coach Jamie.















At each line change, the coaches ask the kids to point in the direction they're supposed to kick the ball. Usually 3 different directions are pointed at.















Go, #11!













Snack time is everybody's favorite part!
