Going Huntin' with Dad

About two weeks ago, Lucas got to go huntin' with his Dad for the first time. He was so excited. Cody was supposed to be going but wouldn't wake up from a nap. So, when Dad asked Lucas, it was all it took. Lucas got busy putting his camo on. Then, of course, he had to ask if he could shoot too, instead of just watching. Dad told him he'd have to get a bit bigger before he could shoot a turkey. They didn't get a chance to shoot anything or see anything. However, Lucas came packin' back a cow skull, which he referred to as a "T-rex head." LOL!

Our other child

About once a week, we call up my cousin Leslie (more like the sister I never had) and say "When's Carter coming over?" Our whole family has completely fallen in love with the most beautiful red-headed boy that ever lived (no offense to his Uncle Daniel). Carter usually spends the night on Saturday and we take him with us to church. Cody loves to get him dressed on Sunday mornings. The boys actually fight over who is going sit by him in the van. They absolutely adore him, almost as much as Pete and I do (Cody's sitting here and didn't agree with the last part.) Carter loves the outdoors, so he fits in perfect at our house. The boys each have a riding toy that they race up and down the sidewalk on. Carter's usually giggling the whole time. Needless to say, the younger boys always need a bath come nighttime. Pete and I are "Uncle Pete and Aunt Kissy" (When Leslie was little and I babysat her, she couldn't say my name and it came out kissy. I always thought it was the sweetest, so I had to carry it over with her little one. It does sound kinda cheesy, but it has meaning.) I could go on and on about Carter but I'll spare everyone since I'm hugely biased. But if you start seeing lots more family pics of us with a red-headed baby in them, you'll know we didn't adopt and not tell anyone.

Cody's 15!

Cody turned 15 last week. I can't believe he'll be driving in a year! His best friend, Jordan, came home with him after school and we all went to B.G. Pete met us at Pizza Hut, Cody's favorite place to eat. Then, we all went to see "How to Train Your Dragon." It was a really good movie too. Cody's main gift was an ipod, which he got a week early. He has been downloading apps ever since. I'll be glad when it gets old, hopefully it will. He also got a Nashville Predators shirt, John Bytheway CDs, and a guitar book. Happy Birthday Cody!

Easter

The week before Easter, Lucas had his best buddy, Trenton, over to spend the night. We picked up Carter on the way to go Easter egg hunting. Cody helped Carter hunt eggs while Lucas and Trenton were busy filling up and dumping everytime they got their basket full. They loaded up on eggs and candy. The Easter bunny was there too. I had no luck getting the boys to get their picture made with him. Oh well, glad I brought my camera along to take a snap. I took a video of them hunting too. I had fun taking the four boys.

Easter Sunday, Mom and Carter had spent the night with us. The Easter Bunny left him and the boys all something on the front porch. Carter got a camera to take pics like his mommy. Cody got a ipod case and guitar string and Lucas got a bunch of "How to Train Your Dragon" characters, a shirt, a book, and school set. Then, we all went to General Conference at church. We went by Mamaw and Papaw Moore's after church. I hid eggs for Lucas to hunt there. Then, he had to hide them for me. I always love Easter, especially when the spring weather is here.
