Talia's Birthday party

Here are some pictures of last weeks birthday party. I had brought a sheet to put Hannah on but she learned very quickly that she could pull the blanket up and get to the dirt and grass that she wanted to eat.

Carter didn't get out of the water much. He just kicked and kick around on the lake on the raft.

Hannah and Uncle Chris tuckered out at the same time so they snoozed in the shade.

Hannah enjoyed her first pizza crust at the party. She liked it just as much as the dirt. Silly girl.

Starting early

Showing her team spirit early in life.

Teething cookies

I love these teething cookies. I remember them from when Carter was this age.

Well Hannah has started eating them. She only gets them on bath nights for obvious reasons.

He will love this more when he is older

Carter was coming from or going to church on Sunday while in Charleston and I looked back to find this so I had to capture it. His wife will love this one some day.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great long weekend. We started the weekend with a picnic with Mama and Papa at Hampton Park in Charleston by the Citadel. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed chicken salad sandwiches, chips, cookies and fruit. We were there all day. Carter made a friend who shared his bike with Carter and there was a tree that we couldn't keep Carter out of. He managed to climb up in it himself a few times. He also had some help.

Hannah also enjoyed some time on the grass and with her Dad.

The men also had fun feeding the ducks, fish, a turtle and the birds.

On Monday we went to the beach with my brother and family and a couple of my sister-in-laws coworkers and their kids. It was a good time. This picture was right after she woke up from her nap and right before we moved her seat to be in the shade a bit more.

Carter loves the sand 100 times more than the water. Luck for his, he has some great helpers to build castles and get water for the motes.

Hannah's scooting

Hannah has not picked up pn the idea of crawling yet but she is scooting all over. She only has one driection and that is backwards. I was making dinner the other night and when I check on her to see why she was screaming, this is what I found:

Of course I had to get the camera and take a picture before I could save her.

Windmills and mountain climbing

Steve, Jon, Eric and Carter when to go see the windmills that you can see from Steve's back yard. It was raining a little bit but Carter still wanted to go see them. They are huge.

The same group on a different day decided to do some mountain climbing in the Hummer that we rented for our trip. You can see the black dot in this picture between the power lines to the left of the power pole. They called when they were up there and had the women look our the front door to see how high they were.
