Happy 7th Birthday... Carter!

Today is my little Carter-Loo's birthday. It couldn't have come soon enough for him. He's been wanting to be 7 really bad now for about 6 months. First thing when he woke up this morning he said "yes I'm 7" with a big fist punch in the air. Fresh out of bed he ran to the kitchen to find his present. Luckily, it was what he wanted... (no, not a dog... that's what he "really" wanted) a Lego City Police Station.

We went to the pool to swim today. This really has been a blessing for us this year. It gives the kids something to do & there is always a sloo of friends there for them to play with. The boys decided they wanted to learn to dive this year.
Chandler almost has it perfected.

Then, there is Carter. He thinks he's got it. However, you can tell from the picture that he's heading for a big, fat belly buster. He tried so many times the other night that his whole chest/belly was bright red. He's still not giving up though.

Then there is Kensley who just wanted to sit with her new Dora towel & eat a snack.

It's a tradition in our family that we take the kids out to eat on their birthday & they get to choose where they want to go. Carter chose Arbys... well, okay, whatever... it IS after all his birthday. So we get there & after I ordered all the food they tell me they are out of roast beef. Seriously!?! Isn't that what Arby's primarily serves... roast beef? I was pretty upset, but everyone conceeded to have chicken & stayed. Carter brought his friend Peyton home today after the pool. He joined us for supper as well. They had a great day!
