Did you remember he turns 1 on September 10th!!! Its been a year already, time sure does pass by quickly. Its amazing that only a year ago right now we were wondering when he would pop out of Amanda. Now a year later, he's trying to talk, running, and pointing at everything he sees wondering what it is. He's a great little guy!

Amanda has taken up selling Tupperware over the past few months. She's had a few very successful parties so far that resulted in some pretty big boxes being sent to our house. When we went out to the mall looking for the "perfect" present for Carter, we noticed a big tent playhouse at one of the stores. We both really wanted to get it for Carter, but it was way too expensive. Since we had all these big boxes in the house, I decided to put them together and make Carter a custom playhouse. I had to use an entire, extra large size, role of duct tape, but the look on Carter's face when he saw it was worth it. The little guy was so happy. I don't know who had a bigger smile on his face, him or Daddy!!!! :)
