Well, Carter's birthday came and went on Saturday without any celebration at all. The poor little thing has been sick since last Tuesday evening with an ear infection and a stomach virus. It's been pretty miserable around here this last week. He has pretty much wanted me to hold him the entire day which is really hard when you have 2 kids. His ear infection and runny nose soon turned into a sinus infection (we think) and so not only was he in pain from his ear and upset stomach-he couldn't breathe either. We took him to the doc twice and today he seems to finally be on the road to recovery. Anyways, we were supposed to have his birthday party on Sunday, but that didn't happen. We didn't even get to sing happy birthday to him b/c he was so miserable everything made him cry...even just looking at him. Luckily, my mom was in town this weekend since she was coming in for the party so she was able to entertain Jackson while I tended to the sickling :-( It's looking like we'll have the party either Wed. evening or this coming Sunday.
It's very sad that my "baby" turned 2 without an official celebration or even recognition :-( Oh well, I guess he's too young to know right now anyways, right???

Bye Bye Training Wheels
Jackson just learned how to ride his bike without training wheels on Sunday. David kept telling me that he could do it, but I insisted that he was too young. Well, David said he was just going to try it and see how he did. That kid took off! I couldn't believe it! David stayed behind him for a few times while he got his balance and then he was a pro! He was making sharp turns and going up on sidewalks and down driveways like he's been doing this for months! Even our neighbors came out and were amazed :-) Anyhow, here are some pictures from his first day of riding his bike like a big boy and then the last one is of him passed out on the floor after a long hard day of bike riding.
Airfest 2008
About a week and a half ago, David and I took the boys to Airfest 2008. David took Jackson 2 years ago when I was about 2 weeks away from having Carter so I stayed home. He STILL talks about that day and the planes and helicopters he saw. He was only 2 then and is 4 now so I figured it would just be twice the fun! I'm pretty sure that Carter enjoyed it more than Jackson. Jackson loved the planes but HATED the loud noise and when I say loud, I mean LOUUDD!!! He held his hands to his ears the whole time and cried quite a bit. Carter couldn't care less about the whole show. He was more interested in pushing around his stroller. Oh well, David and I loved it and we got some really cool pics. Better luck next year...
Halloween Pics
Good grief! It's getting harder and harder to keep this thing updated!
Here's some Halloween pics from last month. The kids had a blast and even Carter was into it this year and had the whole "trick-or-treat" thing down. Couldn't quite keep up with the older siblings, but he did great. Jackson was a ninja and Carter was Darth Vader. The boys' cousins, Andrea and Elizabeth, came over for the festivities and they cleaned house!
