Carter has so much fun playing with dad! Whenever I break out the camera though, he stops playing and just wants to see what pictures or videos I have taken:)

Yet Another Trip to Minnesota!
We piled in the minivan once again this month for a little road trip. First, Tim and I had a student conference in Minneapolis and my parents watched the boys. It was the first night I was without at least one of my kids for well over a year...wow!!! I definitely enjoyed it but of course missed them:)
Tim had his annual Director's Training which was also in the Cities so I stayed in Edina with the boys and afterward we picked Tim up and had a couple of days in Stillwater. It was great to see both families! I wish I took my pictures but here is what I've got:)

The Last Days of Fall...
We were blessed with such an amazing fall! These pictures were all taken in November, believe it or not! Now we are buried in snow and haven't even played outside because the temps have been below 10 degrees....oh North Dakota!
Family Pictures
Our dear friend Kendra took a bunch of family pictures for us a couple of weeks ago. I was so surprised by how well the boys did! Carter loved posing as you can see below:) Thank you Kendra! www.hadleyphotographyfargo.com

Carter is 2 Years + 3 Months!
A couple of days before Halloween I had Carter try on his horse costume. He was excited about it but wanted me to try it on as well:)
This past month has been filled with more hilarious Carter comments:-While jumping off the couch and trying to land on his feet Carter yells, "I'M A BOY!!!"
-Whenever we hear him in the morning we go in his room to get him. He can get out of bed himself but he always waits for us. The first thing he says when we open the door is, "I'm awake mom/dad!"
-He has called me many different things this month: mom, mama, Casey, buddy mom, mama Spark, Casey mom, Mrs. mom....always entertaining
-He loves building things only to wreck them. While wrecking things he yells, "Bang it, whack it, crash it, wreck it, ding it, knock it...."
-He has also become the master manipulator. He will suggest something and then I'll repeat it in a question to make sure I have understood him. After I ask him if that is what he meant he says, "Okay!", like it was my idea:) Example:
Also, he has really gotten into coloring with crayons and colored pencils. We printed off a couple of Sesame Street people and now he asks for more Sesame Street friends to color almost every day:) He still LOVES Sesame Street!!

Carter: OKAY!!!!

Cooper's Dedication
We had Cooper dedicated at church on Sunday. Both grandparents were in town to celebrate with us! We decided to bring Carter up in front of the church with us as well and he was very excited about the microphone that dad was holding. Then he asked repeatedly while looking out at the congregation, "who are ALL these people??!!" Cooper was calm and easy-going as usual:)
Halloween 2010
At this point I'm not sure who enjoyed Halloween more, Carter or me! It was so fun to watch Carter go house to house and get excited to meet new friends. I was probably more excited about the candy...which he hasn't asked for at all:) Cooper was a good sport to get bundled up and go along with it all.
Nana and Papa were still in town after the Hall of Fame/Cooper's dedication events so they were able to come around the neighborhood with us.
Our friends the Eastons and Wurglers came over to join us as well. Carter loves his friends!! He is a little older and definitely took the lead:)

Cooper is 9 Months Old!
Our littlest man is already 9 months old...crazy! He still babbles a lot but this past month has been full of changes:
-Cooper got his 1st tooth on October 8th, followed by his 2nd tooth on October 31st
-He not only started sitting up on his own this month but also started to "crawl" (he doesn't use his legs too much yet but can get across a room and is into everything)
-He started taking bottles this month and likes to hold the bottle himself and spin it around (just like Carter)
-Carter gets a kick out of helping Cooper drink from his bottle. It is really cute:)
