Carter's 4th Birthday!

We just celebrated Carter's fourth birthday.  On his birthday Kasey had the fabulous idea to take him shopping to pick out a gift from us.  Not fabulous idea.  Every mom knows that a young child wants every toy they see.  After an hour and heavy persuading we were able to narrow it down, a fast racing car, huge suprise.  (not really, all this kid plays with are cars and trucks, trailers and ramps)  We took him to "Pirate Island Pizza"  where we ate, played in the arcade and enjoyed the scenery.  We hadn't ever been before, so this was fun for all of us!  He thinks his birthday is celebrated for days, and very sad when he learned that it was my birthday and no longer his the following monday.  It was a very quiet birthday for us both, I miss not having more familly around to celebrate these kind of events.
