eleven!

Carter big number ELEVEN was on Monday!
We celebrated with the family on the 24th.
You would think on JULY 24th
and outside BBQ & party would be do-able,
but NO!
this year the weather has been
slightly schizophrenic
so after eating, the clouds sent down the rains,
and we ran for shelter inside.
Of course, Carter didn't care one bit
he just wanted to get on with the presents!

love these cousins!

I know...it looks like a dress...
we bought a youth large...
I have high hopes that someday he will grow!

CASH!
looks like he'll be buying a new PS3 game

of all the gifts,
the one that brought this awesome smile?!?
SIX POUNDS of GUMMY BEARS!

Tim D made some yummy cobbler for dessert.
FYI...candles will melt from the bottom
when used in a dutch oven

Carter attended his very first
11 year old scout meeting this week.
He just looked way to little to be
heading to the church with all the young men.
He is a sweet boy with a soft heart.
Just this morning,
he gave up his gaming time
to play a game with Lady & her stuffed animals.
Such a good brother/friend/son.
Love him!!
