I have an evil laugh....like the wind!

Carter loves playing with Zombie Brains! 

Preschool breakdancing.  Training wheels required.

Airport birthday party

Ready for takeoff!

After a hard day's work of flying airplanes, the boys cooled off in the sprinklers.......then cried because they were wet.

VACATION!!!!

Fishing with Daddy

Carter's first fish

"If fishing with a fishing pole is fun, fishing with a stick must be AWESOME!"

After catching all the fish (four), Carter got bored and decided to practice saving the world.

Just cute :)

Helping Daddy catch a fish.

"Lets Go!"

Symptoms of Hantavirus:  pour speling.

Dirt, sweat and a cape....what more could you ask for?

Carter counting how many lives he's saved today.

The most awkward way to clean off your kid, captured and immortalized on the internet.
You're welcome world.

Too bad he has to learn with a stick and a pinecone.

Carter's favorite animals at the zoo are the dead ones (skeletons).

Carter:  "Fish!"
Daddy:  No it's a sea lion.  But they eat fish.
Carter:  "No it's a fish!"

We're good to go!

Carter loved the funny noises this elephant made.

Happy Birthday Grammy!  Let me help you with that.

"Daddy, Grumpy said I could drive."

Boys will be boys

And girls will be cold.

And sometimes little boys will too.

Celebrating the 4th

Movie night with Aunt Roger

Ooh, bugs!

Braiding Aunt Roger's hair.

Snow cones on a summer afternoon.  What could be better?

Back at home....

Wet, mildewy scriptures.
(our ceiling leaked while we were gone.  Most of the damage stopped at Isaiah.)

Enjoying a movie with his warm-up baby sister.
She still has all of her limbs, but likely has brain damage.
Good thing we're practicing.

Post-Finals, Pre-Boards Party!!

The 2nd year wives put on a party for the boys after their final finals (dun dun dun).

Here are a few shots of the guys taking a few hours to relax and have fun.

Step 1 of the obstacle course
Put on shirt and tie, handicap: wife has to tie the tie.

Carrying a few medical books while scarfing down a peanut butter sandwich.

A few obstacles later, finishing with wife in tow.
We ended up with the second fastest time.

Taking out some aggression on an innocent pinata.

All the guys, post pinata bashing.
One of them has a favorite snack.  His wife was kind enough to include it in his pinata.
The snack: chips
The result: powder

Ending the night with some Rock Band

Don't worry, here are your pictures of Carter (we know who the star is).

I suddenly have the urge to watch Charlie Brown.

Still Daddy's little helper

The story of the night:
The ARrrrmy of Helaman.

Still the master relaxer.
