Happy 4th Birthday, Carlee!

Well, I've been slacking just a little bit, huh?  Kind of gave up on the blog thing for a while, I guess.  I can't believe it's been since August that I've posted!

To see Carlee's birthday wishes on WAOW that aired on Monday, click here:

You may get asked to download a plug-in...go ahead, it is safe.  And don't forget to make it full screen (2nd button from the right at the bottom corner.)  :-)

Below are just "some" of the pics from the party.  I know, I'm a little crazy with pictures.  :-)

Carlee's steer birthday cake Aunt Shelly made.

Grandma Nadine's drawings set by the Oreo cookies.  (Needed black and white appetizers.)  

The only picture I took that shows the banner.  Our wall looks pretty bare without the bench sitting there.

Birthday Girl

Carlee playing in her kitchen.

Miss Hanna Banana

Look at that face that Miss Madi gave me.

Matt & Ang

Bobz

Our cake without one leg.  When it came time to light the cake, we found out Grandpa Larry had stolen its leg.  So we replaced it with oreos for the time being.  lol

She was so shy!

Angie and Larry

mmmm mmmm good!

Terri & Nadine

All these presents for me?

hmmmm....what's in there?  I love how Hanna and Emma have to look too.  :-)

Carlee in her new John Deere hat.

Caleigha after a couple bites of Oreo.

The night before her actual birthday.

Time for Carlee to come out of her room.

Her compact Hello Kitty brush.

Daddy stopped by The Country Store in Eagle River and picked this up for her.  He also had it FILLED with candy!

Carlee getting ready to leave for her birthday breakfast with Daddy.

Her newest addition...."Red" the other steer.  She loves it!
Oh oh....a new toy!  (It makes me think of Woody & Buzz in the movie "Toy Story"...ya know when Andy got a new toy for his birthday.)

Well, I probably won't be posting until Carter's birthday, so I hope you enjoyed the pictures and videos.  :-)


 

Winter Fun +

Guess I know what the kids would like for the next gift. Do they sell MP3 players for kids that only goes a certain volume? Would be nice to get them something like that.

Carlee and Jay playing on the floor.

Time to get ready and go snowmobiling for the day.

Just us

Jay reading the map

I had to stop and take a picture because the trail was beautiful.

Stopping to enjoy a little scenery.

This is Jay, who sat there voluntarily.  :-)

Justin and Carter, going on a short ride around the house.

And of course, Carlee wanted to go too so Daddy decided to take her.

The kids made "something" out of Jay's printer box.

It's Carter's turn to go snowmobiling with Daddy.

Filling up on gas for a fun trip with Daddy.

He really is smiling.  :-)

Carter riding with Justin.

Stopping to eat.

Carter just looks so adorable here.  He is wearing my helmet, so it's a little big for him, but he's just so darn cute.

Aiden's birthday party.

Carlee and Jay at the party.

I actually was able to get a picture of the boys, even though they're both occupied doing something different.

Carlee playing in the snow.

Carter had dug out a small area to sit in and I caught them sitting in there.

King of the Hill

Love this picture of them.
