Bikes, scooters & other such stuff

The boys got new scooters for their birthday. They love them, but we don't have the best place to ride them at our house. Great for riding bikes, but not scooters with tiny little wheels on asphalt. Also, they got money for their birthday so we went shopping this week. Carter bought a new bike & helmet (one more his size) and Chandler got a new helmet & a new Wii game. We happened to be at my parents the first part of the week & they have plenty of room to ride around.






Here's a few pics I took around my parents house. Carter & Chandler helped PawPaw build a scarecrow for his garden.

Carter lost his first tooth... finally!

We've been waiting for a really long time for Carter to get a loose tooth. He came home from school over a month ago & said he had a loose tooth b/c someone ran into at school & hit his mouth. Well, lo & behold, it loosen one of his bottom teeth or either it was chance... regardless, he was happy. Finally on Wednesday night, he was eating leftover pizza....it was kind of hard b/c I warmed it in the oven & he said he felt something pull. He went in the bathroom & wiggled, pulled & twitched for about 15 min & came out with a tooth in hand. He was very happy!

Boys birthday party

We celebrated the boys birthdays on Sunday afternoon at the Boiling Springs YMCA waterpark. This is always a fun time for everyone! Chandler turned 9 on May 24 & Carter will be 7 on July 1... (although he will argue with you that he is already 7 now... because after all, we did celebrate, he blew out a candle on a cake AND opened presents!!!!). The boy racked up on cash... what they asked for. Carter is going to buy a bike & Chandler wanted money for the beach. Here are some pics from our afternoon.
