God Bless You, Baby Carter!

This past Sunday at church was the baby dedication service where all of the children born in the previous year are recognized, prayed-over, etc.

Sweet little baby Carter was one of these precious little souls. He is truly a miracle baby---we prayed for him LONG before he was ever conceived! LOVE him SOOOOO much. And beyond proud to watch my brother as a dad in action. He and Ashley are amazing parents who are doing a fine job of raising such a sweet little boy! (I kid you not- best baby I have EVER known!)

(pardon the dark pic...I was trying to keep 4 cousins in the back from causing a scene, although Sav DID start yelling when Collin and Ashley walked to the front: "where is baby Carter going?? where did Carter go?"!)


Yummmm...Pappasitos for lunch! My parents, Ashley's parents, Auntie JuJu and Uncle Stoney were all in attendance! (that's one big lunch party!)



My big bro and his baby boy! awwwwwwwwww....melt me!



My turn, my turn! I wanna hold!!!!!! GOSH, I miss this!

We had a wonderful weekend with family and friends!!! We even squeezed in a MUCH NEEDED Joe-n-Suz date night thanks to Ju, Stoney, Ma and Pa! WOO HOO! I like to refer to them as the "Valentine's Cupids", seeing as how the kids will have lots to open this Sunday! I'm also working on a post from the Tarrant Twin Girls AWESOME Birthday Party last Saturday! SO DERN CUTE!!! Stay tuned for sweetness overload!
