Who needs utensils?

So here's the story.... um.... well you see.... our friends were over for a bbq and...... well.... ah there was chocolate cake for desert and.... well.... ummm....forget it. The pictures tell the story.

Carter's Big Boy Bed!

He's made the transition and he's sleeping like a champ. He has figured out that he can get out of his bed and play with his dinosaurs and planes so we usually have to go in once or twice to coax him back to bed. He loves it and he's sleeping like a champ!

Hi Aleene!

Vegas Baby!

Here are some more pictures of our fun filled vacation in Las Vegas.

Carter's Breakdancing move

We saved up our appetites and went big at the Spice Market Buffet in the Planet Hollywood. 3 plates of food later and 3 plates of desserts later I entered a minor food coma while my body regrouped to assimilate the excess that was just shoveled in.

Carter, on the other hand, ate just the right amount of ice cream covered brownie with sprinkles to produce this. We rode the elevator up out of the basement buffet into a flourescent world of bright lights, ringing bells, and funky dance tunes. The spirit moved Carter and he danced his way out of the Casino to the strip. Neither Susan or I can claim any responsibility for teaching him his sweet moves... he comes up with these on his own.

Okay so the 1:18 second video is too big to upload so I'll have to upload this short one for now.

Vegas Vacation

On the way to Vegas we happened upon a cow the size of a bus... photo opportunity!

Our first day in Vegas was sunny and warm enough to spend some time at the pool. We bought Carter a wheelbarrow sand toy that lasted all of about 5 minutes before it broke.

So it turns out that Carter has a few favorites in Vegas. One of his highlights is escalators... you read that right... escalators.

More to come!
