Catch up

So, it has been a bit since we have blogged. Sorry about that, but here are the goings on with us lately.

As you can see Allen has glasses now. Little did we know he is just about as blind as a bat. But not any more with his cool new glasses.
Poor Carter has this (apparently common and no big deal) virus that is called throat, hand, and foot disease. It's all over his body and looks horirble. He is getting through it pretty well though. He has just been living in a baking soda bath.
Sorry again that the Christmas ones are backwards. This is Carter opening his stocking. He liked the oranges best. That a boy.
Allen opening his stocking. This is a little snowman fishing toy and candy.
Christmas morning. Santa came!!
And he put stuff in our stockings.
All our presents. Thanks Santa!
Christmas eve we always tell the story of Jesus birth and play Christmas games together.
Opening the Christmas eve jammies.

We also did our gingerbread Christmas eve too.
Allen with Santa at Kevin's work party. Allen was like the only kid there at the time so he got to spend a hole lot of time with the big guy.
Oh yeah, we are having another child. This one will be coming to live with us on August 7th. We are all crossing our fingers for a girl. Well except for Allen he is praying for one every night. He says he already has a brother and doesn't need another one.
Allen also gave another talk in church. Kevin went up with him to help and we realized they were twiners that day. My cute little Father and Son team. Well I think you are caught up for the most part on the happenings in the Meagher house. Happy Holidays.

Snow

This morning the boys work up to snow. So we all went out and played in it. We built a snow man (Javier), had a snow ball fight, and did some swinging. It was all good times till Carter fell off the big swing and got a face full of snow. We had to pull out the binky and then it was all better. All and all it was a great family fun morning.

Javier the snow man. He's so hot he's cold.
All my boys together. Allen, Javier, Carter, and Daddy.

Oh no here they come.
Trying to throw his first snow ball. It just dropped.
Yes we are bad parents our kid still has a binnky. I just think this looks so funny.
Child labor at its best.
Aww the fake smile. We see it often.

The snow ball fight.

Swinging.

Boots

Carter's new favorite thing lately is to strip off his pants put on his rain boots and beg to go outside. It's just so cute. The other day he was wearing nothing but a button down shirt and his boots. I didn't have the camera then so this is the shot you get.

Horseback Riding

So as most of us know, Allen has kind of a fear of Animals. He love animals but just can't seem to trust them. So when he asked me if he could go horseback riding I got right on that. I was really expecting him to change his mind as soon as he saw the horses but he didn't. He couldn't wait to hop on and get going. I'm so proud of my big guy.

My fearless boy on the horse.

Carter was really excited about the horses but as soon as we would put him on he would scream but he still wanted to be a part of everything.

Halloween

This is for the grandparents. Sorry I have been on a blog slump, but this is our Halloween. First we went to a Church Halloween party on Friday night which I went to alone with the kids. So I was unable to take any pictures but this is from Halloween night. It's not in order but here they are.Allen the firefighter in the car ready to go.

Carter has started to not only get piggy back rides but also give them.

Well that's it for now.
