Yep! Still alive....

I know it has been awhile... I seriously do not know where time has gone! We are still alive and well, just running around like crazy! I know last time I updated Carter was five months and now my little boy is approaching 10 months old! George is almost 3 in February and I am dying thinking how fast time is passing. I am loving this stage right now as a mother. I love hearing all the funny things George has to say, I love hearing his imagination growing, and seeing his sweet personality continue to grow. Carter is my little sunshine baby. He gives everyone the biggest cheeser grins... they really are to DIE FOR! He has his bright red hair just like his Daddys. He is an easy going little man who seriously adores his big brother. Me and Jed love just sitting back and watching the 2 of the interact. They have so much fun ahead of them to grow up to! I work a couple of times a week and get to take Carter along with me and George gets to go play with his Cousins. George literally looks forward to it every time which makes it easier to leave him knowing he gets to play with his fun cousins and build relationships with them. Jed is currently doing the internal medicine rotation and continues to see the best in every aspect of medicine. I always tell him how will we ever narrow it down when he ever sees only just the positives, but it just says something about him... He really is a positive guy!

So that is pretty much us but here is a quick wrap up on us!

George George George, seriously he brightens my day. This picture is his personality to a T! When I was taking these pictures of the boys I had to giggle because This is HIM! This kid has the funnest personality that is so busy, but yet so loving. He wears his feelings on his sleeves, and he always makes me feel loved. He is a good big brother, although he does like wrestling a little to much. He tells me now he wants to watch football on TV and I will turn on a game and he will pretend and jump on piles of pillows, all the while making grunting and cheering noises. I am always grateful when he chooses the pillows and not me or Carter :) George talks so much and is hilarious. He is so smart, always trying to make deals with me, and gives the best hugs! We love little George and are so glad he came to us. He adds so much to our lives.

We got a friend to take a few pictures for our family picture and can I just say NIGHTMARE. These two are wiggle worms. even with bribery I could not get them to sit still!

Carter is all smiles. He loves his food, nursing, eating, his brother George, his Dad, and his momma! He says Daddy, wants to push around is little walker all over the house, He is obsessed with toilets (just today while i was cleaning the kitchen he unrolled a whole roll of toilet paper and was dipping it in the toilet and sucking on it :( i know disgusting, but i guess you gotta do what you gotta do ) This kid can create a wave pool in the tub! He loves splashing! He does Bye bye, and he does "SO BIG". He is a tough little boy. We love his smiles, and can not imagine our life without him. He melts my heart.

A few months ago our friends came in town so we had to have them over for family night BBQ! It just felt like the good old days in Kirksville. I did not want them to leave, and George was thrilled to have his WOMAN back in town! And we got to meet baby Oakley which was a treat!

WOOT WOOT! George got rid of his binky! All for a nice trip camping. Jed one day said that he would take him camping if he got rid of his binky and he never had it again. I was so proud of him because he was so attached to that thing. He did it like a champ. He is just like his dad, he will give up anything for a trip camping! Also a side note, that is always how he sits in the car I had to take a picture, because I think once again that is his personality! SO LAID BACK!

The three kirksville buddies and their babies!

My 2 pirates and my little parrot!

This is Georges Cousin Nat-Nate! He adores nathan and is constantly talking about when the next time is that he can play with him.

Of course Bony legs came to the party. I had been preparing George and he was not scared at all. Nor was Carter he just wanted to touch her face. Although she looks scary... she is the nicest witch i know :)

The wagstaff family party group picture. I seriously love Halloween because it is so magical to the kids. We had a blast and were glad to be there after missing it the past two years.

Matt and Kenzi stopped by for brunch on their way to the airport! It seriously made my week. We loved having them even though we wish we could have had them longer! We can't wait for little Liam to make his appearance! They are the best!

My Brother got married! He married Abbigail Taylor and she is darling! We absolutely adore her and were so happy they let us share in on the Celebration. She looked amazing and so did John! they are so happy and meant for each other. Here they are with all our Grandkids.

Their wedding was amazing and such a party. George loved the train and we danced and played all night!

This picture made me realize how quickly my family is growing!

Well that about wraps it up!
