Easter 2008

Food Firsts

So, it was Colby's turn to experience some new foods. First, we were in Baton Rouge and had some boiled crawfish. He did not eat it (you can see him sitting on the ground), but he sat back and watched everyone else enjoy the great southern Louisiana tradition.
Then, the not so much fun first baby food - carrots! As you can tell by his face, it was not love at first bite.

Take Me out to the Ball Game!

Colby got to experience his first razorback baseball game. It was a beautiful day and the kids had a great time. They also got to see Ribby the Razorback. We are so fortunate to get to hang out as a family and enjoy some great baseball atmosphere.

Tomato Drill

So, we were sitting at dinner last night and Emory is telling us about what to do in a fire drill. She says you have to sit "applesauce" (that is indian style for us old timers) at the fire drill. Jim looks at her puzzled and thinks "Oh, you mean for a tornado drill?" Emory: "No, not the tomato drill, silly, the fire drill!"
Apparently when you get outside after the fire drill you are supposed to sit down with your legs crossed.
Goodness, Dad... your are so silly!

Mom... Can you help me please?

Emory loves to play dress up. Her and Colby have quite the special relationship - but I think she has gone a little too far. I can just hear him now: "Mom, I love Emory, but can you tell her I am a boy and do not wear bows!"

Bubbles Bubbles Everywhere!

I think Avery LOVES it when big sis is at school, baby brother is napping (well he was supposed to be) and she gets mommy all to herself! She had quite the time with our bubble bath.


Thanks to our friend Reid Blackman... Avery was singing Jingle Bells this morning

Our Snow Day

Tuesday we got a little snow. The meteorologists were calling for 4-7 inches of snow. Well, look at the pics and you will know how far off base they were... We had a good time though. Of course Wednesday it was beautiful and close to 60 degrees and then by last night it was cold again. Oh, and we are supposed to get snow again tonight. Well, Emory called it! She probably knows just as well as the weather people.

Snow "Angels"

Am I supposed to be liking this??

Ahhhh, a nice warm bath and we are ready for hot coco!

Is it too early or too late??

Ok, so it is 1:37am Monday morning and I am still up. Just ask Jim - that NEVER happens. But, I have had so much fun getting caught up with some friends from Texas that we have not seen in 5 years. I love the internet - this blogging stuff really is great. So, it is great to stay in touch with all of our friends and have our friends get to keep up with the Carter Clan. Now that I have our friends' blogs on my fav list, I might actually be good at checking out your blogs on a more regular basis. And, update ours more regularly.
Heres to 75 degree weather yesterday and several inches of snow today!
