Down, set, hut hut

Monkey see, monkey do. Whatever Carter does...Averi is two steps behind.

love love love

Love is in the air! Some things I love besides the obvious...

Chocolate covered strawberries
Snowskiing
Swimming pools and the smell of sunscreen
Freshly mowed grass
Sprinklers
Laughter
Date nights
Worship music
Cookouts
Card games
Mornings with my kiddos
Touring homes
Friday night football
Going to the lake
Adam's song for everything
Looking through photos
Texas skies at night
Girl's weekends
weddings
dancing

...just to name a few!

Prancer

We said goodbye to our first pet today. Prancer lived a good long life. 13 1/2 months is a LONG time for a fish...especially one that has been on many road trips where he stays in his little tupperware bowl and sloshes around because of Adam's crazy driving.
A little history on Prancer...
He came from the North Pole.
Santa raised him and named him Prancer after his favorite reindeer.
Santa gave him to Carter and told him to take good care of him. And he has!

Our conversation with Carter:
Us - Prancer died last night Carter.
C - (tears begin)...oh no, I'm gonna miss my fish. Do you think he's in heaven?
Us - Yes, Prancer is in heaven. Maybe we can get you another fish.
C - (happy already) That's ok, I still have Raider. Do you think Raider's gonna live much longer?
Us (thinking)...no, Raider's probably not gonna live much longer (she's 12...that's 84, right?!)
C - Well, I think I want to get another fish from Santa because his live a long time. And I think we need to get a puppy from Santa too for when Raider dies.

He's got it all figured out...Christmas is gonna be fun next year!

Go Cheetahs!

The night before his first game...yes, he is sleeping on the floor. That is his favorite place to sleep, right by Averi's bed. He laid everything out and was fully dressed by 5 AM. Yes, 5 AM. And his game wasn't until 10:50. He is a little bit "into it"!

We are the Cheetahs this year. Don't say it too fast or it sounds like Cheatas! :)
Averi has to be dressed in cheering attire.
And Adam coaches with Kevin. It's a family affair...I guess I take the pics! :)

American Idol

We went to American Idol at Hollywood Studios. They take auditions at the park and pick the best ones. The person that wins the finale each night gets to go to the front of the line at a real audition. The judges and announcer looked JUST like the real ones. It was great! Carter really loved it!
