The Old Baker Farm Tradition

I've really hoped to create some long-lasting traditions in our family. We first took Carter to Old Baker Farm in 2003, when he was just 10 months old. We have made the journey to Harpersville, AL every year since. We have always gone with different people, but this year we made the journey as a family of 4 and 1/2. We can't wait to take Graham next year and continue the tradition.

HOW CUTE! I love the pictures over time. I hope you had a good time, and the race traffic wasn't bad. Surely it was less crowded b/c of that. How was the roasted corn?

I missed not going with you again and taking your picture- but I SUPOSE it is a good idea to go as a family. ;)
Maybe next year I will be there with our own..either about to pop out or freshly in the world. ;)

Easter 2009

The Easter Bunny was good to the boys this year...even though we dyed the eggs at 8PM the night before. All the "egg hunts" were with plastic eggs this year, which the kids prefer, due to the candy/prizes inside. We went to our new church on Easter morning and the kids made it through the "grown-up" service, so it has been a great day so far. Now, on to lunch at Grandma Jackie's house for Easter dinner!

Carter for President

So, Saturday afternoon Carter decided he was running for President. This idea came from the book he recently purchased at the school book fair "Spongebob for President". He decided to make flyers saying "Carter for Prezident" and put them all around the house. I went upstairs to fold the laundry and came back downstairs to find his flyer creation station empty. I went outside and saw flyers all around the porch, but no sign of Carter. I called his name inside the house, I called his name outside the house and then I caught a glimpse of him halfway down the driveway. I thought he was heading down the driveway, but he was actually coming back up. I said "What on earth are you doing?" and he said I went to Mr. James' house to ask him to vote for me and he gave me a check. I almost passed out! I thought he had conned our neighbor into giving him a campaing donation. After he made it back to the top of the hill he showed me his notebook where he had writte...
