Carter Turns 6

Yet another year has gone by. I know I seem like a broken record but really...where has the time gone. It seems like yesterday that we moved here and he was born. Now he is 6.


We celebrated on his actual birthday with dinner at Red Robin with Grandma Phyllis.




Just a few days later we were able to celebrate with a pirate party!


UNcle Jim and the infamous birthday spankings!

Another Traditional Trip....Ohio

The tradition continued this year with our annual trip to visit my aunt and uncle in Ohio. My mom, aunt, the kids and I spent another wonderful long weekend visiting. This year we spent a day in Amish country which was a lot of fun. There is never a dull moment when we all get together. Thanks Uncle Dicky Yoder and Aunt Martha!!!!!!!

Door County 2011

As it has become a tradition, we spent the 4th of July with family in Door County Wisconsin. Riley and Carter, per the request of Papa and Grandma Hughes, made T-shirts for everyone. As in the years past, there was some fishing, tubing, card playing, fireworks and just a great time had by all.
