time to catch up

i've had a few complaints about seeing the dumb ol' classic skating pics and decided it was time to do a little catch up, so here goes.

the boys and i celebrated our birthday's this month, apparently chandler is the only one who got a picture though, hmm, nice job camera man. (i believe if you scroll down you will get to see us sing happy b-day to carter)

for quite some time i have been asking for a dog, scott finally caved on the condition that it was for the boys' birthdays AND he didn't have to take care of it. so far i have stuck to the agreement. this is kita, she is a pure bred alaskan malamute. she is four and a half and apparently had been abandoned and was looking for a good home. we have been happy to provide that for her. it has been a long dream of mine to own one of these beautiful creatures and here she is. what a great addition she has been to our family!
we also got to celebrate one of our favorite holiday's this month, here is our annual easter picture with scott's grandma "g.g."

we also recently made some additions to the backyard, here is carter on our new swing set, he absolutely loves it and now that he has learned to open doors there is no stopping him! (in fact, LOL, the other day he took a shower with daddy and while scott was drying off carter disappeared. scott sent chan to look for him just as we heard noise coming from the backyard. scott opened the blinds in our bedroom to discover a stark naked little boy jumping on the trampoline, it had to be one of the funniest things i have ever seen! sorry i was too lazy to get out of bed and take pics but you can imagine i'm sure!)
and after a long day of sneaking off into the backyard he will doze off in daddy's chair. what a cute boy we have.
here is carter's birthday pics...

family night at classic

monday night we took the family to classic skating for some good, wholesome fun, and boy was it! carter had an absolute blast and is quite the little skater
chan warmed up to it but eventually decided he preferred the scooters

carter also loved the scooter

desiree was doing awesome and even gave isabel a few lessons

isabel got the hang of it and was having a good time

even mom got in on the fun

best buds

i had to add these pictures. i just finished with the last post and came out to find this in my living room. i thought it was pretty funny. he's got his kitty, his remote and his binky, what more could he ask for? poor batman!

carter's big boy cut

yesterday i got some new clippers so i had to try them out. carter was my only willing guinea pig

he was having a hard time holding still so daddy gave him an oreo

and now he has a big boy cut, not too bad for my first time?!

bel's new do

bel caught a bug and decided she wanted a change in her hair-do so last night we took a trip to great clip, this was the outcome.

during...
and after. (chan got a cut too!)

and this was before she left for school this morning.

my little girl is all grown up!
