First Father's Day

What a busy weekend we had!! Carter met almost his entire family in one weekend.

Friday night - We had a cookout at my Uncle's house, because his kids (my cousins) were in town with their kids. They all wanted to meet Carter too. We enjoyed talking to everyone. We haven't seen them in forever, and they haven't really ever met Kyle. We left after only a couple of hours to get home and pick up some before Kyle's brother and sister-in-law stopped by. They live in Texas and were driving through from Virginia to stay the night with us and meet Carter. We just watched some movies and went to bed.

Saturday - Kyle's mom cooked us all breakfast. Since they were only there for a few hours, we all were up really early and eating breakfast by 7:45. Kyle went on in to work, and his brother left around 9. Carter and I took a little nap before getting up to get ready for his second birthday party. It was a one year old this time. Hudson is such a cutie. They live about 45 minutes away from us, so I was 45 minutes late. I slept in too long and left the house at the time the party was starting. Oh well. No one noticed. Then, Carter and I went to shop for a gift for Kyle's niece, which just so happens to be across from Gymboree, which just so happened to be having their semi-annual sale. What a coincidence! LOL I got a bunch of cute shirts and pants for Winter for Carter. He has plenty in his size right now, so I got him winter stuff. It is last seasons clothes, but I do not care. They are cute and normally so expensive for $6.99 and under. You can't beat that!! Then, we went to Heather and Derek's and hung out.





Sunday - We got up and got ready to head out by 10:30 to go to Birmingham to eat lunch with Kyle's granddaddy. We got there around 12:30. All of Kyle's aunts and cousins just loved Carter. He was a popular little boy that day. He was passed around like a hot potato. He was one hot potato though because it was so HOT outside and in the house. We had to strip him down, because he was getting so mad being hot. We left from there and stopped by to see DJ and his little girl that was born 5 days before Carter. She was so cute. She also was stripped down, because their air was out. It was like 97 too! So hot! We left Bham around 5:30 and drove straight to my dad's for dinner. By the time we got home, we were pooped out.



I've been trying to finish up reading Eclipse that I started on so long ago. I am finally finishing up the book. I probably have 200 pages left. I read the whole way down to Bham and the whole way back. I read while Carter is eating too. It helps pass the time.

Kyle had a good first Father's Day besides being really busy. I gave him his present early, since it was a fun gadget. I knew he would want to play with it before he opened it and left going out of town. He was so excited. I think that was the most excited I'd seen him over a gift almost ever. So happy Father's Day to my wonderful husband. He is a great dad and Carter has so much to learn from him. I think we make a great team. We have a great baby that is happy and so independent. We are doing a pretty good job so far on this new parent thing. He turned 14 weeks this Saturday.
