Here are 2 videos and I will post pictures soon. <br />
<br />
This Christmas was a big one with Carter. He started asking a lot of questions and getting excited about all the celebrations and presents, of course. We had to keep reminding him that the whole reason we celebrate is because it is Jesus' birthday. Carter wanted to make Jesus a birthday cake and he thought he had to give all his presents to Jesus since it was His birthday. It was interested and sweet to see him trying to figure things out.<br />
Norah Lynn was just overwhelmed by all of it. She had a blast but she did a lot of staring and giving strange looks.<br />
Adam and I enjoyed every moment of teaching and watching and loving on these kids. Teaching Carter the meaning of Christmas gave us a fresh reminder that we can sometimes get completely overwhelmed with parties and presents. We were reminded by our 3 year old to slow down and worship our Lord and Savior through the entire season. We got to witness my Grandaddy, who a few years ago didn't even pray, share the gospel with our entire family. Praise God!! What a work He has done in Grandaddy!! We were able to show love to some family members who really needed to be loved. We got to experience our first ever neighborhood Christmas party. Thank you Lord for the community you have placed us in!<br />
<br />
Christmas 2011 was the best one yet for our little family! God is good!JWesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024036348932993631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306574020410573364.post-71543083228361831212011-04-06T07:18:00.001-07:002011-04-06T07:21:47.838-07:00Brother and Sister<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZE_Dh1HZu498pQ9MyuT2Wt-lDbEXF-Dk2hBrS4cW2S7FntSd3NmiinKslG_QtOme126OSMSi9wwLG7yQqfl1T-3ebscB6u5w3Y8oR8fKJofpqNgcFU0MT98Qmp5QmzW8dUJe57J65YQY8/s1600/DSC_0681_edited-2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZE_Dh1HZu498pQ9MyuT2Wt-lDbEXF-Dk2hBrS4cW2S7FntSd3NmiinKslG_QtOme126OSMSi9wwLG7yQqfl1T-3ebscB6u5w3Y8oR8fKJofpqNgcFU0MT98Qmp5QmzW8dUJe57J65YQY8/s320/DSC_0681_edited-2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592475207114127250" /></a>Here is Carter doing one of his favorite things, holding Norah Lynn. The first person he ask about when he wakes up is her. When we say Mommy's Carter or Daddy's Carter, he says, "No, Norah Lynn's Carter." The boy loves his little sister. He is a wonderful big brother and I can't wait to see them grow up together. I pray they will always be close.JWesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024036348932993631noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306574020410573364.post-7295469474831353532011-03-25T13:22:00.000-07:002011-03-25T13:25:17.389-07:00Bath Time<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8zVQIVQW8un7PC00EId4PKO1ZIgU-UfTNQpT0FOTpyaf85tPdfuOHZSJ9HZsEdRr5tfJBzbuKZiT8I-s3orQt4iHx7m2cdL3k_H7STbs9-dHl89aKn7Mw0LlPnj3ua_1BpS2RgpPT9cZe/s1600/DSCF0940.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8zVQIVQW8un7PC00EId4PKO1ZIgU-UfTNQpT0FOTpyaf85tPdfuOHZSJ9HZsEdRr5tfJBzbuKZiT8I-s3orQt4iHx7m2cdL3k_H7STbs9-dHl89aKn7Mw0LlPnj3ua_1BpS2RgpPT9cZe/s320/DSCF0940.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588115921614537954" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji12frPTZuQwtis0uBYBXp0kYlpvocNjP_oL0FOOJJDf3HIarTmDrF3QncZBWrkoGTr4havud7YtHmzlgm4oWpoxZCv8TSUsbjSM_SKaNzwZYQ6Y0J2hYF2doBm49b3kr8x2JMVJDVhTry/s1600/DSCF0948.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji12frPTZuQwtis0uBYBXp0kYlpvocNjP_oL0FOOJJDf3HIarTmDrF3QncZBWrkoGTr4havud7YtHmzlgm4oWpoxZCv8TSUsbjSM_SKaNzwZYQ6Y0J2hYF2doBm49b3kr8x2JMVJDVhTry/s320/DSCF0948.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588115914732242482" /></a>Here are some pictures of Norah Lynn's first bath.

We thought it would be a good way for Carter to get some one on one attention for a little bit. Adam took Carter to a monster truck show in Memphis. Carter is obsessed with trucks right now so we thought this would be right up his alley. They went with another dad and son from church. <div><br /></div><div>We spent the whole week talking about the big guys night out. I would ask if I could go and Carter would say, "Sorry Mommy. You can't go. You a woman." He would tell Gigi, "Nope. Sorry. You a woman." He would say, "Only Daddy and Carter can go. We men." </div><div><br /></div><div>First Adam took him to Chick-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Fil</span>-A. Then they met the other dad and son at Monster Jam. Adam bought Carter some ear plugs, as you can see in the picture above. He kept touching them so they fell out and Adam ended up having to cover Carter's ears for him. </div><div><br /></div><div>When they got home, Carter walked in and said, "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Sooo</span>, we saw monster trucks. They loud. Don't worry. Daddy cover my ears <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">fo</span> me."</div><div><br /></div><div>It ended up being a great, memorable night. He still talks about it all the time. It was a true bonding experience for Carter and his Daddy. I love seeing these two interact. I can't wait to see more!!</div>JWesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024036348932993631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306574020410573364.post-76954342995069893672011-03-08T16:01:00.000-08:002011-03-08T16:14:58.333-08:00Introducing Norah Lynn<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTUWOXWfwjySZ0m8MLi3gwBuD-dp4maDmv10scCglSGaUl6hJJc8wPtkNesCPrp6e96cutAVpAwkW5RFhjPnK9mgyR04y8S-NjwRxAL_Fbm87Nj98W1C9t6VeN7Jc5uaxrwkN3pJm96DoI/s1600/DSCF0929.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Then we curled up by the fire, drank hot chocolate and watched all of the Toy Story movies. It was a great day!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Carter loves the snow.

It was our first Christmas living close to family. We missed our AL family very much, but it was nice to be able to spend time with friends and family here.<br /><div><br /></div><div> I know it has been quite some time since my last post so I will try to give ya'll a good overview.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanksgiving was great but strange. One of our closest friends got married in the Dallas area, and Adam was in the wedding. Adam and I went to the wedding while Carter stayed with grandparents. We had a blast spending time with all of these friends, but missed the traditional Thanksgiving celebrations and meals.</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOuDdKbyH9wrNkBbhf8kYDqKtEZwKs3wAwCSs9LEv-pmml13M33ys64KbWL37ZiL4gcfcB1NehPy9VjQZjwoinnjMs4LxMnIvFkhVYnUKpp6TUqMP0qNxJTc7VGvl4Qo_Pqcy_2GVXizff/s320/DSCF0578.JPG" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572173828336153682" /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirujSnYwUjGuUqrLgy9ORgJVpmS3klfZAtP8O4_9B-Es1OevjLtZflaufQSg9VGImynz2KDxdLSi4k8yxtbMWpsJWTVIp2MH1u11mJdosVSa8IIMu3xgUUr8YxLBoZao910PJlb0knBzd4/s320/DSCF0584.JPG" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572173287720100882" /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><br />Christmas time was wonderful as well!

He loved the Partlow Drummers and mimics them to this day. Then we ate at Shockley's.

We were at Gigi and Papa's house until Christmas Eve night. We spent time putting together a puzzle and looking at old Christmas pictures. We ate a big breakfast and opened presents with the Hodges crew Christmas Eve morning. We played games, took naps and shared memories the rest of the day.<br />We spent Christmas Eve with our Christ City Family having a time of worship and serving a meal to whoever came. Then we went to Aunt Pat's house and celebrated with family. Around 9:30-10pm we headed to to Verona to spend the night with the West.<br />Christmas morning was started by reading in Luke and remembering that the only reason we have to celebrate is that our Saviour became flesh and walked among us, lived a perfect life and bore our sins and separation from God on the cross.<br />Then we headed to Mama Vi and Pap's house for a breakfast buffet and Dirty Santa. We rested and enjoyed each other's company, laughing and celebrating the wonderful family that we have.<div><br /></div><div><br /><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhurAbmlQ74gYEbG0O4Y4dmdkuamQ7gcKzLEXcVgb5Bs2g2oNmol-q_Cjjr5EVrRpBf0ekOLRrDHClt_TCKV8ITRlqzqQRHUgBuzcL0WGEKUGBnRRT4rDlGTC1sjH-uewEKRSyxMpRK6Qf_/s320/DSC_0738.JPG" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572186421153542402" /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQSJzHbx0KiyTZAlp7zyhrVsxMYS0Jb9LRuXen8UqZsLP5SfXNdUOvWKUN9iKx2nDXjeJ4HTzoQ6vr8w-B676kYwBY2oUc4WioWF2lmLlCvPHD-V1k5XCXOF-xPe8UZALteBBElAWe7C4t/s320/DSCF0731.JPG" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572188414096746610" /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjplovcao2ba_sOJUu47vg7ZAl5FOid3MEl9DhQbYj1t5KhZ7S_IxKaicspDZBZ9ygQ8Ha0jQKhfLRIRa5biBsmbqAfoO3rs53w5sxD0C1jJigwkR_V-U2UWbal-LnSVQHvRhjqdyoAqgf/s320/DSCF0787.JPG" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572189721448914322" /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJbZua8tgcEh7sSyxHRucCrHXHteo9dr95WNwcdGDC1S1-ddq_4ajr62j2-hNLEt4KkOFo8enI677IRM1Z7-ZjvUA3xp9fhyphenhyphenD4dXXMt0EkoWz24rEMqVpixpJHbt6zWJ4c-40hmReN4fU5/s320/DSCF0721.JPG" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572189716496641138" /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBJVc9xh0k3oky_iPkIz8a2az7JQ_0S1EIB9Rau7bKvVu7Wpra8yGLN36unJYaIaFAmcfSLOtXS1Mv27LPPKf1MDRNPssMSV3etvh8Tx7D4wcRKctuiWi93lNgBnNDeongmxOwlSEMbqLL/s320/DSC_0762.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572187314181163058" />As you can see, we had a big time during the holidays this year.

He was such a big boy. We trick-or-treated in Midtown with some friends. Carter was the youngest little one trick-or-treating, but he hung in there really good. He walked right up to the doors and said, "Trick-or-treat." He also found that if he said it more than once they would give him candy every time he said it. Carter didn't want to trick-or-treat the whole time. After about one street, Carter wanted to ride on Daddy's shoulders and just eat the candy. We came to one haunted house and Carter said, "No get candy. That scary!"<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div>We also took Carter to Zoo Boo, which was so much fun!

On the one hand, I feel proud to have such a big boy and I love that he is so easy now. On the other hand, time is passing too quickly and I feel like he is getting too big too fast. I love him so much and he has blessed our lives beyond words. <br /><br />We had a tractor themed party at my parents' house for him. They have the perfect location for a party. It was great! Carter seemed to have a blast even though all he really wanted to do was to play in the dirt with his new tractors.<br /><br />Also, to all you moms out there who already have a 2 year old, why didn't you warn me not to have a 2 year old party. I mean if I had realized that the party would make him realize he was 2 and therefore the strong willed attitude would appear, I never would have told him he was 2. haha<br /><br />Here are a few pictures from his big day.JWesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024036348932993631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306574020410573364.post-24254390607471561332010-10-14T19:12:00.001-07:002010-10-15T15:23:51.546-07:00Crazy, Silly, Wonderful<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTFt_1W5P6OijcPsepM0puPQBPKil-XAO2cYwRftK3JYEMdvIqVXb_D84A7qplgoCpep2fP-0kS4B3m5_wAyufhOSsTX6pcBwzrfuni1_gUdcoMgw-S1ll8uBCI9ZOOjP6jrRGYjWovAR9/s1600/DSC_0166_edited-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTFt_1W5P6OijcPsepM0puPQBPKil-XAO2cYwRftK3JYEMdvIqVXb_D84A7qplgoCpep2fP-0kS4B3m5_wAyufhOSsTX6pcBwzrfuni1_gUdcoMgw-S1ll8uBCI9ZOOjP6jrRGYjWovAR9/s320/DSC_0166_edited-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528090228714752802" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOCdFcszwVV55sdhVWN1f2ggfIWXWMtGM5Tdztv2sQHYpeqBC_QoDSTsL6TuelDpB6KHBpNWgM-rNxtslcAK1ultJUa3UWmaKC53XbquBenWAdvOLKU23hKoOe7SkbxFrOwiTQF9_iz8k4/s1600/DSC_0165_edited-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 235px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOCdFcszwVV55sdhVWN1f2ggfIWXWMtGM5Tdztv2sQHYpeqBC_QoDSTsL6TuelDpB6KHBpNWgM-rNxtslcAK1ultJUa3UWmaKC53XbquBenWAdvOLKU23hKoOe7SkbxFrOwiTQF9_iz8k4/s320/DSC_0165_edited-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528090219481561650" /></a><br /><br /><br />Crazy, silly, wonderful and free<br />That’s my baby<br />That’s how he makes me<br /><br />Bright blue eyes<br />Hair that’s white as snow<br />A heart full of love<br />That only a mother knows<br /><br />Eyes the gateway to his soul<br />He make us complete<br />He makes our family whole<br /><br />Spit kisses, tight squeezes, and chatter non-stop<br />My husband and I we are so blessed<br />How lucky are we<br />That’s our little messJWesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024036348932993631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306574020410573364.post-16595822756203504152010-10-14T15:58:00.000-07:002010-10-14T16:05:04.375-07:00Carter and Daddy Play Guitar<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyGApFRL70LE6QL6mJGmAfZUvhi0kODWy21ElXUEL7Wou_nXhmccF4UGUvpDqXc4B6zoVsyvdMOQMF65KWcKQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>JWesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024036348932993631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306574020410573364.post-85379951816584818082010-10-14T15:43:00.000-07:002010-10-14T15:58:05.718-07:00Country Boy<span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >My little boy loves music and he loves to dance.

It was great! This is the first time that Carter has ever ridden rides and he loved them. Carter even brought a date, none other than the lovely miss Lila. We carpooled to the birthday party with Lila and her mom and dad. I guess it was like a triple date :) Carter loved the cars the most. We had a hard time getting him off of the cars to go home. He loved the rides so much he wasn't even interested in cake. No doubt, he is our child!! (there wasn't any doubt anyway, but here is more proof). Here are the pictures.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1LLyBgIbmIGg1zw1QMOZM4eQU18KKT-yytZzTT5QI6rB3pkISgfIWgmAp9azBzTDLlg8WXoPz-pws2SxqyveL6XQEo4ZYQehoW1Hl2MUmEz3vhGFj5x_jLx_bvVXODex2EiBwB_oM0aiE/s1600/DSC_1163.jpg"></a><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWAuPZzsylUP3N3mkn_-mr6zbyQHP3K5on_guSB-TnRV48HOxi-q-9MVLUfk4DeDpMr4aiAoMwNZ3Tk4KzVwTWifpcUbOuE210zW0dfevsgiufXYQLMEQa2fs-VzK4r0bX-2iZGhM85No-/s320/DSC_1185.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479764944521467202" /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic6SACxrOlLasaVdkUosxxCSAkJw1kCf7MvVH8vOrjNvGrsn9ej9gWivmabFT0Su2dt3mnuvt7bt-XTgzzMOkqI8CK2QMmWlc8dopeUKHlJnT0wtnJngi2dsn3-PHtKn-ZbKbM4UMzVzU3/s320/DSC_1117.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479764930628006994" /></div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyJ7efhnou8hMYMTfLWJlW6EDNlesqO-U6CGX7hA045tITJVMKQtREt5nPwakZy1LaJHxdVyxWKuOogmsb1vqaOnh7zq8A_Xa5pWgX4QMS0aiNiJCXy5b-Ev2GydqTQvdd4tMGh8VA7DZW/s320/DSC_1163.jpg" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479765386850278994" /></div><div> <img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAArtwKDUqxR4TmTjJMV6zZYKO1_9qW_OP3gCVp36WlUkQnHpUHh_M9o1fJinVdvGfFEH6DjmhbimLhZs-Mb_UGItyCNCF7YBIXOOKTxYgsOtukL4gG2jVKeOjDfJ57YcBoPP2VxtVmW7Q/s320/DSC_1090.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479763634380502450" /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1jtQ-ElHxMx1GdpXd5gwTTFqGaI6wI8L26WYZMvJpkRlDxpM-WUl-ivedpsVcCTsz6tFJAjTbf8kPwqXPJP_yWfjjsc_6Fmy5XAJ06i8wEimI55CYLjXRFTNd8Cf7fUkiQjdkCxa9d5qy/s320/DSC_1105.jpg" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479764259954813650" /></div>JWesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024036348932993631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306574020410573364.post-86917735725914028612010-06-04T20:25:00.000-07:002010-06-04T20:47:09.114-07:00Ain't Nothin Like the Summer TimeWe are having so much fun already this summer.

These are very special glasses that are designed to help the type of visual impairment that Carter has specifically. Carter's visual impairment is located just below the nose and in the mouth area. Dr. Potato Head said that the cause could be constant verbalization. He did say that this should not effect his future as the drummer of a rock band. That was good news! Keep in mind not to laugh when you see the pictures as it is not nice to laugh at children in Carter's condition.

These are the kiddos that he spends most of his time with. Their families have become like family to us. <div><br /></div><div>Top: This is Carter with Abby and Andrew. He calls Abby "Babby" and he can't really say Andrew yet. He tries, but it is just a bunch of sounds. They spent the night with us a few weekends ago. It was so much fun. I could tell Carter thought he was such a big boy and that I had thrown a slumber party just for him. We went to the Botanical Gardens, played outside, got lemonade from Chick-fil-a, watched movies and read lots of books. Carter and Andrew stayed up in his room for a long time just playing and talking. I think Andrew may really be able to understand him. </div><div><br /></div><div>Middle: This is Carter and Ian. They are like brothers. They see each other a few times a week at least. Carter gets so excited when he sees Ian. Carter calls Ian "EEEEE" and Ian calls Carter "Ca-Ca". We are working on that. They play ball and wrestle. Ian is almost exactly a month older than Carter. They really have grown up together and been a part of each other's lives since day one. Ian came to see Carter in the hospital when he was born.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bottom: This is Carter sharing a drink with Lila. Lila is about three months older than Carter. They have been hanging out and sharing baby sitters since the beginning. They love each other so much. They kiss and hug lots when they see each other. That use to be all they did, when they first learned to kiss. Now, Carter is not as much into the kissing but just as much into Lila. We see them every Tuesday night, and every time we turn into the neighborhood Carter starts yelling, "Lila" and laughing. </div><div><br /></div><div>Well, this is just a little glimpse of some of the friends in Carter's life. He has a good life with good friends and lots of people that love him.</div>JWesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024036348932993631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306574020410573364.post-52636578592503717482010-04-15T13:33:00.000-07:002010-04-15T14:06:11.895-07:00The Beginnings of Summer<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><br /></span></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkOGqdaUuW0DuiqlL6pb645M9-sK3hJYa2how2t5CcRXHyCs-xO6fEp3OFx80ClKpQ_fW8eNCBxfqTOTx5MHErvLINd0DLlB3D_21XFIqWRT0kY-s0Dj1-In7vxxykuxKjdqjqOfYyHmwk/s1600/DSCF0104.JPG"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhACcVzGt7m0UOORhqlNWHXirvOGZYq0w2abYhfMtLlaN3suLMTUgxX2K21xh0bClOutK68lUdQLrUPRLz5vddrIQgQ3bV9ijJmmPqBL2a3Xj1hRoEEGOZy-Q9EOtQglkaKdPDOwuyPpuFv/s1600/DSCF0095.JPG"></a><br /></span></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA53k6F4ZsS_bOGOeaIzCFAf8rEMD867AqsuksdAxzqLzUjDszZupuUZ5bCAbrLsd1pgwkaidOpY_T801GV2wv9yK-JsBx6q9qp8QdAvnnZxcsCfFKWXNU1V7VDM65jF0R4U0niOG2opqP/s1600/DSCF0112.JPG"><img style="float:right;

He and Stephen ran all around the trees and dug in the dirt. Needless to say, by the time we left they were exhausted. Both boys cried the entire wagon ride back to Cheryl's house. They kind of took turns. I guess they didn't want to interrupt each other.

The bloody nose is really just a scratch on and below his nose. Still, it is the first time he has fallen and come up bleeding. Carter was playing chase with some kids in the cove and when the little girl tagged him, he lost his balance. The really bad part was the he was on a little hill so the fall was even bigger. He kind of fell and then slid a little. He had the scrape in his face and then one on his knee. He was just a trooper. He only cried for like 5 seconds. After that he jumped down and went back to playing chase. I think I had a harder time with the fall than he did. I jumped every time it even looked like he was going to lose his balance. I am really having to learn to let go a little; he is going to fall and it is going to be okay. Here are some pictures of his boo-boo.</span></span></span></div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>JWesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024036348932993631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306574020410573364.post-30544194803306333882010-04-11T19:25:00.000-07:002010-04-11T19:41:07.884-07:00Trip to Nana and Pappy's<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtSwu72NaSEi44Yq7YZ7N09HWYwBC4BOjD_CWaU_Yg_Lb6dF6X2y9rGNaUMZ-YEnE8fT7wJp2IWzJnMw8P82VIE9rwutDmMpVkWOTZpKMdBakIKV5nZGb-EUz5kGazGL4llfopsH_H_n9B/s1600/DSCF0069.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459072737062153890" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtSwu72NaSEi44Yq7YZ7N09HWYwBC4BOjD_CWaU_Yg_Lb6dF6X2y9rGNaUMZ-YEnE8fT7wJp2IWzJnMw8P82VIE9rwutDmMpVkWOTZpKMdBakIKV5nZGb-EUz5kGazGL4llfopsH_H_n9B/s320/DSCF0069.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibbWWa8x7cLrxTPJLG6DFRZMVgOLbO2ZpD9gK_HJZY291kPgN_yUkZWyd4l-zUlewZKNN6L3TmtzpdDpP6CU25AzBGBLpuY3VrjlNRfhYtXiYhklL9pqH8YDqhOwJJIDmOGmuSYj4lt2wk/s1600/DSCF0066.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459072736373106546" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibbWWa8x7cLrxTPJLG6DFRZMVgOLbO2ZpD9gK_HJZY291kPgN_yUkZWyd4l-zUlewZKNN6L3TmtzpdDpP6CU25AzBGBLpuY3VrjlNRfhYtXiYhklL9pqH8YDqhOwJJIDmOGmuSYj4lt2wk/s320/DSCF0066.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOCKpCwJ4PUcdYYoPXBVAjumDsdaPmipm0gUfB-y8PQlWw2Y0MFyaNnwXcIinNAKYo1E5VZfWzCOCal5QVv2A4HcNQdA1FkKtaMVtylaliYIGIIO05F6nXdNYO13FeHme2Bo-kBeYVDIc3/s1600/DSCF0063.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459072721076312722" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOCKpCwJ4PUcdYYoPXBVAjumDsdaPmipm0gUfB-y8PQlWw2Y0MFyaNnwXcIinNAKYo1E5VZfWzCOCal5QVv2A4HcNQdA1FkKtaMVtylaliYIGIIO05F6nXdNYO13FeHme2Bo-kBeYVDIc3/s320/DSCF0063.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSYCtTTqjdyxm2_BxWSnbXaS0VLump5A618OQ5n-PGA-WloJfA_v7RNnQPl8rb5vPHsNw7uhqP4SXbNK6klSJ0bnR-fhMupxg3YvqbmknswAeynzvoVEUbnqo0pWsbfgZ5m8gwuPCfSg8q/s1600/DSCF0049.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459072711948557138" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSYCtTTqjdyxm2_BxWSnbXaS0VLump5A618OQ5n-PGA-WloJfA_v7RNnQPl8rb5vPHsNw7uhqP4SXbNK6klSJ0bnR-fhMupxg3YvqbmknswAeynzvoVEUbnqo0pWsbfgZ5m8gwuPCfSg8q/s320/DSCF0049.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgygZmRYRk93N0Vf8ea1QU4KCjPQ3PtkL_05mJ6SRcHYZCxBuG1_gt9TnhaGy-y6HaEId6xlE5fJ5lzxkOi4yJr75D8StKzmt2xzS3L5MPbn44Zjm_YE-5Sah4oVcld6bXaI0b8PjNr_sz_/s1600/DSCF0046.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459072703872797954" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgygZmRYRk93N0Vf8ea1QU4KCjPQ3PtkL_05mJ6SRcHYZCxBuG1_gt9TnhaGy-y6HaEId6xlE5fJ5lzxkOi4yJr75D8StKzmt2xzS3L5MPbn44Zjm_YE-5Sah4oVcld6bXaI0b8PjNr_sz_/s320/DSCF0046.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:130%;color:#660000;">I took Carter, to Tupelo, for a couple of days a few weeks ago. We had not been there since Christmas, which is the longest we have ever gone. </span><span style="font-size:130%;color:#660000;">As you can see by the pictures, Carter had a blast. Nana and Pappy spoil him rotten along with all the great grandparents. I mean what are grandparents for, right? Carter got to stay up late, play on the playground at the mall, ride the carousel, eat ice cream at the Dairy Cream, play the piano and go see the ducks. Carter is so blessed to have such wonderful grandparents and great grandparents. I say Carter is blessed, but really Adam and I are blessed too. When we visit grandparents it is such a refresher for me and Adam, because they do so much of the work for us. We get a nice little break. So, thanks Nana and Pappy and Gigi and Papa. We love you guys!!!<br /></span><div></div></div></div></div></div>JWesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024036348932993631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306574020410573364.post-11802431056005136862010-04-11T19:04:00.000-07:002010-04-11T21:35:05.296-07:00Smoothie Fun<span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;">So, recently I have been making Zone smoothies for breakfast a lot. The <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">smoothie</span> consist of frozen raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries, almonds, plain yogurt or milk, vanilla protein powder and sometimes a little cinnamon. A couple of months ago, when I first started making these smoothies, Carter had just learned to drink out of a straw. He thinks this is the best thing in the world. So, a few times a week Carter and I will have an egg, scrambled, and our smoothie. He loves this. It is his favorite breakfast by far!! Well, up until recently Carter always just let me hold the cup while he drank from the straw. He is now becoming mister independent and wants to hold the cup himself. Most of the time I semi-let him hold the cup. By this I mean he holds it, but I keep my hands right there and make sure he doesn't tilt it too much or too fast or drop it. This morning Carter was extra <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">persistent</span> in holding <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">the</span> cup all by himself. So, I decided that I would just let him do it and see what happened. Take a look at the pictures to see what happened!!<br /><br /></span><div></div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVNoZ9XQXcjlXb2d2kaASzpX-sFSwNMkH_Mlc9uB7b5hRKWC9evB10nU2vgBMDrLU0MoiSUMpozaUgsDv6ozcJFHwFAhBUzXiPRBpRtd-659Edkt_aDSG-FMneQE3ieFh30-UgxmXoG-Jt/s1600/DSCF0082.JPG"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459069381510810482" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVNoZ9XQXcjlXb2d2kaASzpX-sFSwNMkH_Mlc9uB7b5hRKWC9evB10nU2vgBMDrLU0MoiSUMpozaUgsDv6ozcJFHwFAhBUzXiPRBpRtd-659Edkt_aDSG-FMneQE3ieFh30-UgxmXoG-Jt/s320/DSCF0082.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNt-2tTGzfJLW88-f7tR32Qiqd_GdiiCte9Movh3XW1Wxg3eAeAHanLLoFdVkxlz-WA1AJzostFcU2J3ME8l4OWu8-Lfmt1Eir__-_UHYZ2EZ1UONF3ty-m0o57CYzfpzNZtT1Zj51ENTY/s1600/DSCF0086.JPG"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459069384589656306" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNt-2tTGzfJLW88-f7tR32Qiqd_GdiiCte9Movh3XW1Wxg3eAeAHanLLoFdVkxlz-WA1AJzostFcU2J3ME8l4OWu8-Lfmt1Eir__-_UHYZ2EZ1UONF3ty-m0o57CYzfpzNZtT1Zj51ENTY/s320/DSCF0086.JPG" border="0" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#3333ff;">Once he had smoothie all over the table he started trying to spell his name.

Enjoy the pictures.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>JWesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06024036348932993631noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306574020410573364.post-40563959886980806312009-10-20T08:02:00.000-07:002009-10-20T08:30:08.392-07:00Go Dawgs!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2ldRzWwgzdHEkJA6Gj79l4L8C0nfzBELZmhK47F74GPfF4-8MK8_RJ33z7X_AEwjHZ-Gfk_41_wztQzgvzJV0d8Py17fl3N-ougqaEJ9uXW67m8Q0HVddwtij9ajkQI6TdwSQeCZcD5_l/s1600-h/DSCF0011.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394700378052794786" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2ldRzWwgzdHEkJA6Gj79l4L8C0nfzBELZmhK47F74GPfF4-8MK8_RJ33z7X_AEwjHZ-Gfk_41_wztQzgvzJV0d8Py17fl3N-ougqaEJ9uXW67m8Q0HVddwtij9ajkQI6TdwSQeCZcD5_l/s320/DSCF0011.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipiuKst8jZ6VLLNkprICDCd3FpTJi09nN9Lg0Ya3i40PUGHX_AyCOHIibOzG41VtFG6RqtsqiuEBbaoVsJPY2EoaWhyphenhyphenLbu9YO63UdboIsFQ-gfBXjmAd9AxQfuWrRhVrOCllWxsNY6XB20/s1600-h/DSCF0015.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394700367085430754" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipiuKst8jZ6VLLNkprICDCd3FpTJi09nN9Lg0Ya3i40PUGHX_AyCOHIibOzG41VtFG6RqtsqiuEBbaoVsJPY2EoaWhyphenhyphenLbu9YO63UdboIsFQ-gfBXjmAd9AxQfuWrRhVrOCllWxsNY6XB20/s320/DSCF0015.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiNgzXhX9y02wXjKvK3UEH0nXI7Nkk4wPXRHLj3BSPxTStUipdAFOMQpgeAfK3UQ6sfGcPDv_7WoEdL3aEe-uAG31KvoO0bWmF3fZEvQ2GfjzBHK6WJMYnCUIr34KJbyk3oq5m4sPH9vAm/s1600-h/10626_629158599226_26518692_35700957_7219680_n.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394700355855884130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 228px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiNgzXhX9y02wXjKvK3UEH0nXI7Nkk4wPXRHLj3BSPxTStUipdAFOMQpgeAfK3UQ6sfGcPDv_7WoEdL3aEe-uAG31KvoO0bWmF3fZEvQ2GfjzBHK6WJMYnCUIr34KJbyk3oq5m4sPH9vAm/s320/10626_629158599226_26518692_35700957_7219680_n.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiNgzXhX9y02wXjKvK3UEH0nXI7Nkk4wPXRHLj3BSPxTStUipdAFOMQpgeAfK3UQ6sfGcPDv_7WoEdL3aEe-uAG31KvoO0bWmF3fZEvQ2GfjzBHK6WJMYnCUIr34KJbyk3oq5m4sPH9vAm/s1600-h/10626_629158599226_26518692_35700957_7219680_n.jpg"></a></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#660000;">Here we are at Carter's first MS State. He loved the game. The only thing he hated was when everyone yelled at the refs. I guess that was too loud. We got to spend lots of time with family and we even got to see some god friends. Carter learned a new trick, as you can see in the picture. He has learned raise his arms when you say, "Touchdown!" We also got to eat at Mugshots, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">woop</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">woop</span>!! </span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiNgzXhX9y02wXjKvK3UEH0nXI7Nkk4wPXRHLj3BSPxTStUipdAFOMQpgeAfK3UQ6sfGcPDv_7WoEdL3aEe-uAG31KvoO0bWmF3fZEvQ2GfjzBHK6WJMYnCUIr34KJbyk3oq5m4sPH9vAm/s1600-h/10626_629158599226_26518692_35700957_7219680_n.jpg"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#660000;"></span></a></div><div><span style="color:#660000;"><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></span></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRa33gLQ01CpVDoM0XW3KKFe_d31a3KAJ6QxqfVSzm7fTVleVI9uLjkXeSB8UIWh37FouL4hyphenhyphenzqFZbfEpwUtKWDB4ZqdVbaJMyf-ExIDWJLCZ_Kvm_hRbihFCDAHAzj6plFkO0F7gFBk6l/s1600-h/DSC_0857.jpg"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#660000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394700348204099954" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRa33gLQ01CpVDoM0XW3KKFe_d31a3KAJ6QxqfVSzm7fTVleVI9uLjkXeSB8UIWh37FouL4hyphenhyphenzqFZbfEpwUtKWDB4ZqdVbaJMyf-ExIDWJLCZ_Kvm_hRbihFCDAHAzj6plFkO0F7gFBk6l/s320/DSC_0857.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;color:#660000;"><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjbhkRbr5r6u8DtwAznuEy3Lm_ssa2dsRn89Bui8Y3zSTN8PaN8lKxYr8DYa1KclJ3JoSwcFOoDvGiPNLF178udY9gPr_bN0zGykCZGXT4k_jd8LnbTmc3uYbQb97sz16CrO53bwLcz7ZY/s1600-h/DSC_0843.jpg"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#660000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394700341841124130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjbhkRbr5r6u8DtwAznuEy3Lm_ssa2dsRn89Bui8Y3zSTN8PaN8lKxYr8DYa1KclJ3JoSwcFOoDvGiPNLF178udY9gPr_bN0zGykCZGXT4k_jd8LnbTmc3uYbQb97sz16CrO53bwLcz7ZY/s320/DSC_0843.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;color:#660000;"><br />This weekend we also got to go to Veteran's park and see <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Pop's</span> veteran's <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">paver</span>.
