Hide n go seek Chandler

My family LOVES to play hide-n-go-seek. And I have never played just me and Chandler until this week. And boy did we have fun! You have to hear this kid count and then scream, READY OR NOT HERE I COME. Oh what a little charmer...


He hid first and I could tell where he was because the bedroom lights would be turned on...

He loved hiding on his bed under the covers
Found ya kiddo!
Then I hid in the pantry
He found me!
And then he hid in his room again





and again....

He found me in the shower
Oh yes the bed again!

Believe it or not he hid a few other places but I just thought it was so cute when we would try to tuck himself under the sheets! LOVE THIS KID!

A picnic in January

A few weeks ago Chandler saw something on the counter and insisted on having it. He kept saying, "Cheese balls, Cheese balls" and "pickynic, pickynic" (picnic)

So I handed him this tissue paper below and cheese balls... And of course we had a picnic in the morning... Dont judge my boys are still in their PJ's.


Apple juice, string cheese and cheese balls, YUM!

Hinckley thought we we were pretty funny....
He insisted on having "pickynics" almost everyday for 3 days! He is such goof

My son decided he need to make me pretty

The other day Chandler told me he was going to make me pretty... Then he proceeded to put stickers all over my face and arms. LOL It was the best and really it TOTALLY made me feel pretty! WARNING I HAVE NO MAKE UP ON... I do look a bit scary

STICK OUT YOUR TONGUE!
CHEESE!

Thank you Columbus, Thank you Troy

We love having Daddy home! HE makes us laugh a lot... And he has the best laugh in the world!

Yes he is trying to ride the wiggle car!
For Family Home Evening on Columbus Day Grandpa made these boats as a dessert. The kids loved it!
Love Hinckleys FACE!
LOVE Chandlers FACE
See the boat!

YUM!
It was a mess but it worked out great!
Have I ever told you how much I love my Church? And how much I love the people in my Church? They had a ward chili cook off the weekend we were out of town and they were going to do a surprise thank you for him. So instead they dropped it off the other night.
They were yummy cookies too!
See all these thank you notes?! 7 of them with lots of little thank yous inside!
BONUS PICTURE OF CHANDLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

warming up to Daddy

Chandler has taken his time getting use to daddy being home.... But thats okay... I mean he has been gone half his life....

He loves sitting on daddys shoulders!

He almost cracked a smile
He was pretending to lead the music watching MOTAB

Welcome September!

Guess what September 2011 is?!!!?!?!?!!!!?!?!!

HOMECOMING MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow I should have a sweet official announcement for you. HAPPY DAY FOR THE CARTERS!

Meanwhile,

Chandler loves to take showers. He usually takes 2 a day... Silly kid

Yes he dances and sings in it too
Then he spotted me taking pictures!
Wild child+WILD DAY= SLEEP TIME
Is that not precious?!

Home update, my boys

Hinks still LOVES karate and he was showing me some moves in our house...

We have tape!!!!!!!
Man this little kid is such a firecracker but this picture melts my heart....

I took this picture of Chandler and thought to myself that it was so familiar... So I glanced through our pictures and found another gem of another favorite little guy of mine.

SEE! Sometimes I catch this glimpse of how much they look a like. They are almost complete opposites in every way possible... BUT STILL CUTE AS CAN BE! Hinks 2.5 years old

GRRRR!!!!!!!!
Jamming...
Hinks wanted a picture too
Indian?
Attempt #1
Attempt #2
Attempt #3
SUCCESS! I LOVE THIS PICTURE SO MUCH. I think I will blow it up when we get into the house
Since my boys have to sit through 3 HOURS of church I want them to be as comfortable as possible hence why I let them wear a collared shirt and khaki like pants. Well, since Hinckleys school uniform is that I decided I needed to get him nicer church clothes. He WAS SO STOKED TO WEAR A TIE!
All ready for church!
Trying to get smiles out of them
Eh, I will take it

SO I CAN TELL YOU THAT IN A WEEK FROM NOW MY HUSBAND AND BEST FRIEND WILL NO LONGER BE IN STUPID IRAQ! So he will be leaving between now and then! YAHOO! Plus I can only post like 7 more times til he is home...

*Just because he is leaving Iraq soon doesn't mean he will be home VERY soon. He will still need to be in Kuwait a bit and then Ft. Lewis.
