I can't believe how much my babies have grown! It makes me so sad!  Time needs to slow down now!

Fourth of July Parade!

Miss USA!

When Brooks saw Ava he said, "You look really good!" I think he liked her outfit as much as she did! 

This is the first year they could actually drive themselves in the 4th of July parade! My babies are growing up! 

We always have so much fun at the parade.   Thanks for having us Carters!

Waving to the mayor! 

Love these babies!

Rodeo

We went to the rodeo with our friends and had so much fun!  The kids couldn't wait to show Hudson their boots!

I love a little cowboy!

My cute little guy!

Checking out the bulls

Cute boys and a girl!

My cowgirl.

Serious rodeo fans!

Cute boys!

I love this!  We ran into the Penix's at the Rodeo!  Knox loves a good snuggle! 

Aren't they cute?

A was really concerned about the bull riders!

Selfie queen! 

These little guys are hilarious.  

Lately 4

A date night at the Dierks Bentley concert with my man!  It was our first time to go to a show at the amp and we had such a fun night!

A perfect Sunday night!  We got ice cream and found a pet turtle! 

We love the jeep! 

Meet our turtle E.S.  Ava named him.  They put sunglasses on him and Knox insisted that he live in a pot from their kitchen.  He lasted 24 hours and then Brandon felt sorry for him and set him free...  We will miss you E.S.

I couldn't find Ava one morning and when I finally found her she was in the jeep in our garage.  She had dressed herself and buckled herself in..  I'm not sure where she thought she was going! ha 

Sprinkler fun at Shea and Noah's!

We had so much fun! 

Ava is one lucky girl! 

Little Sprouts with our buddies!  

We learned about our senses!

Madeline was there with her grandma!

My little farmers got to plant pumpkin seeds!  We get to go back in October and pick our pumpkins! 

They worked so hard!

Throwing rocks in the creek!  Such boys!

Lately 3

After dinner we stopped at Hudson and Porters to take a little spin around the yard!  I have a feeling these three might give their mommy's fits one day! 

We started a little Friday night tradition of meeting B for dinner on Friday nights at a Mexican restaurant next to Wedington Liquor.  We always sit on the patio and listen to the live music.  My little monkey's love to dance around too! 

Love this one and his moves!

After dinner we took a jeep ride to a fireworks stand!

This was our first trip of the season!  We had to get a few fireworks to test out before the big night!

Please note the two cautious boys in the picture and then my other child right in the middle of the action, afraid of nothing! 

As I was snapping this pic he was saying, "Be careful mom okay?  This is hot okay?"  PS-Knox says okay a lot! ha 

Sometimes fireworks are loud!

Ava wasn't too interested in the fireworks.  She sat on the patio with the girls! 

Brooksie loved the sparklers!

The next morning we met Karrie and Sawyer at the farmers market!  

Ava is such a big helper!

We had to make a pit stop to have a snack! 

I think the flowers might be my favorite part of the farmers market!

Knox loves baby Sawyer!

Love these three!

Someone stole a cucumber.. I took it back to return it and the lady was so nice she let them keep it and gave the other two one!  

We went to brunch after we left the farmers market at the farmers table.. Ava had a few pancakes with her butter.  

Love lazy summer Saturdays!
