Movies at Mike and Holly's

Mike and Holly invited Allison and me over last night to play with Carter, have some pizza, and watch a couple movies (thanks to both of you!!). We had a good time, and I snapped a couple pictures and a video of Carter giggling.

Grandpa and Grandma visit

Grandpa and Grandma have been here for the past week, so we've all enjoyed getting to spend some time with them in the beautiful Arizona sunshine! These pictures were from this afternoon. They'll be heading back to Kansas early tomorrow morning, so we wish them a safe trip home!!

Family Dinner

Both Grandpa and Grandma and Allison's parents have been in town for the past week, and last night, we all went over to Dad and Mom's for hamburgers, hot dogs, and other good food. Yum!! Grandpa and Grandma will fly back to Kansas on Monday, but Allison's parents flew back to Illinois early this morning. Below are a couple pictures from last night.

Tempe Festival of the Arts

Allison and I went to the Tempe Festival of the Arts this morning at ASU. What a beautiful day to be outside!!

Painting party

We finally had a painting party at our house...well, at least downstairs at our house. Dad, Mom, Mike, Holly, and Carter all came over to help add some color. Thank you all so much for helping! It looks great!

More nice days are here!!

We are going out on a limb and saying that SPRING is here.....at least they are telling us it will be in the low 80's sometime next week! We are all ready for the nice days ahead. Now for some more "Carter pictures"......

More days with Grandma and Grandpa.....

Carter spent a couple more days with Grandpa and Grandma so, of course, we had to take some pictures......AGAIN! We had a couple of really nice days for outside activities - walking, golf cart riding, and watching the ducks in the pond!

Did someone say walk??????

Carter loves to go for a ride in the golf cart.....we've created a monster!
