A Day at the Beach
Christopher, me and the boys met Grandma and Grandpa Bagley, Aunt Ashley, Beth, Mike and Olive at Carolina Beach for a week of sun and fun.
Landon loved jumping in the ocean waves, building lots of sandcastles and deep holes, and swimming in the pool. Carter, well, Carter would have rather stayed inside I think. He wasn't very fond of the ocean waves and wanted no part of standing in them, and he wasn't a huge fan of the sand. He did enjoy playing and splashing in holes that we dug (every dang day) and in the pool. The boys really enjoyed the time with the family (as did we) and already miss them immensely.
Here are some pictures from the beach and pool.

We're back!
I am feeling so refreshed after our week at the beach, and a little overwhelmed with all of the things to get caught up on like stuff at work, laundry, housework, my shows on the DVR, and blogging.
I have narrowed my beach pics down to about 60! Yes, I said 60! When your kids are this stinkin' cute, it's hard to cut back. So be prepared for pictures for about a week!

Peep, Peep! Carter Turns 2!
Last Sunday, the family came over to celebrate Carter's 2nd birthday. Carter loved his Thomas cake and had a wonderful time playing with his cousins and friend, Laken.
The kids loved the kiddie pool and sprinkler...well, all except for Carter. But he was content hanging out with his Gracie.
And this is my other baby who is celebrating a birthday along with Carter. My niece, Elizabeth, turned SIXTEEN!!! The saddest part was going to Hallmark to buy her birthday doll (I have given her one every year since she was a baby), and was informed that the 16 doll is the last in the series! I thanked the lady at Hallmark for ruining my day. This is one special "little" girl to me, who is not so little anymore.

My Dearest Carter Bear,
To think that I was scared that I couldn't love you the same or as much as Landon. When I was pregnant with you, I couldn't wrap my head around how I would be able to split my love for another child. You have taught me how love can multiply, not be divided. I love your quiet presence that speaks so loudly. I love the wild gleam in your eyes that is so full of energy and spirit. Tears run down my cheeks as I beg for someone to teach me how to stop time, how to freeze this moment. I never want to forget these moments as they pass so quickly. The way you twirl around to any song and laugh wildly, the way your skin smells when I kiss your warm neck, the wild curls in your golden hair, how your chubby hands feel when you touch mommy's face "nicely", you sucking your thumb while nuzzling your blankie to your nose, your sweet voice that asks for things so politely, and even those vinegar-like feet. My Carter Bear, your Daddy and I love you so.
"We'll eat you up - we love you so!" ~Where The Wild Things Are
Happy 2nd birthday, son.
