Granny Betty and Paw Paw Arlen come to visit

This Sunday Rodney's grandparents came by for a short visit. They were excited to see our new home and how much Carter Wayne had grown. Carter Wayne is the perfect host and shared all his toys. It was wonderful to have them over and Carter Wayne LOVED the attention!

Guy's Night Out

Friday night was Guy's Night Out. The boys had a big time at Carter Wayne's favorite place "Chuck Cheese". They finished the night by watching a little football. Perfect guy's night.

Mother's Day Out: Part Two

I went to pick up Carter Wayne at his first day of Mother's Day Out and had a little surprise. I walked up to the room and all the kids were marching around playing little instruments to the music. I didn't see Carter Wayne anywhere. I thought oh great he is in time out on his first day! As I walk in I see him over to the side on his nap mat fast asleep! I asked Miss Jenny if he was OK and she said oh yeah, he just talked to me all through nap time and then fell asleep right before we got the kids up. I certainly have a talker on my hands - I know you are all surprised! I finally got him awake. He said he had a good day. A direct quote, "We play on playground, I hot." To celebrate the day I took Carter Wayne for ice cream and we got him a soccer ball. My little boy is growing up so fast!

First Day of Mother's Day Out: Part One

September 8th was Carter Wayne's first day of Mother's Day Out here in NW Arkansas. I woke him up early so he was a little slow eating his breakfast. Once he was ready I kept saying let's go to school it will be so fun. So he went to the door and said "Bye Momma, I go to school!" After explaining that I had to drive him there he finally let me help him to the car. He was such a big boy and went right in. He was excited to be around some new faces! I was sad at first but soon my tears turned to joy at the thought of a day to myself. And yes it was wonderful!

Labor Day Weekend

We loved having some of our family here for Labor Day weekend. Carter Wayne LOVES his cousins Lexie (Tay Tay) and Calli (Cal Cal). Last time they were here they taught him to wrestle. This time they tried to teach him to crawl out of his crib! Lucky for us Carter Wayne is too scared to do it without the "girls". I am so not ready for a big boy bed! We had a great time going to the mall, eating out and just being together. We were so sad to see them go. It was the longest I or Carter Wayne had ever been away from my parents. We will not go that long again! Carter Wayne missed his Nee Nee,PawPaw, and cousins.

August 30 - The first Razorback Game

We had a blast at the first Razorback game. The most fun was the pre-party at the Silvey's. My dad, my niece, Rodney and I went to the game. My mom, Carter Wayne, and my other niece stayed home to play. The Razorbacks won - our motto this year is "a win is a win" no matter how ugly it is. Thanks to the Silvey's for such a wonderful party. We love you guys!
