We had new neighbors move in next to us a couple of months ago, they have three girls. They have a fence that runs all the way around their yard and so when we are outside Carter will go to the fence and talk to them but he has never played in their yard. Today they asked if he could come and play. They sure do grow up fast! He had so much fun that when we went to get him he did not want to leave. Their youngest girl is almost three and Carter is in nursery with her. This is the same girl that I saw walk up to him in church and gave him a big kiss. He ran away from that one fast. Needless to say she didn't get the chance to give him another one. We'll have to watch these play times with the neighbors very closely :)

Carter found this helmut while he was shopping with Josh at their favorite store. He enjoys putting it on his head, and actually keeps it there, unlike the other hats we try to get him to wear.

After we finished swimming Josh and I wrapped towls around us to go inside. Carter insisted that he have one wrapped around him too. Carter ran around the house for quite awhile before he was ready to be done with the towl.

Carter is showing his dad that he is a big boy as he holds the hose in the pool. Carter did not realize that we had already turned the water off.

On the 4th of July it was so hot we filled up Carter's little pool and we all played in the water. The water was soo... cold that Carter would not sit or lay in the pool but he sure had fun standing in it.

We have many pictures just like this. Carter loves to grab the camera as we are trying to snap a picture.

Carter sat still as long as he could. He took off running after me to grab the camera.

Carter sat still long enough for me to take a picture.
