California Pictures

I feel really bad that I do not have more pictures.  Last year when we went to California Carter was around 6 months old and all he was doing was sitting there so I got to take about 100 pictures.  Now, he is running everywhere and I was so busy chasing him and not wanting to take my eyes off of him that I didn't have that much time for pictures.  But here's what we got:

The first plane ride he had his own seat.  He loved it!

This is the back yard at my uncle's house.  Carter loved being outside all he wanted to.

Uncle Louie and Carter shopping in the fabric store.

Happy Boy!

I can now say that I ate caviar!  I really thought that I would throw up the second I put those fish eggs in my mouth, but I actually liked it and ended up eating three of them.  Just that amount right there was 40 bucks.  Can you imagine how much money people spend at fancy weddings???  I also got to eat crab legs in butter sauce for the first time and I absolutely loved it...and I am really not a sea food person!  But my taste buds had a party!  We most definitely got wined and dined that evening!

My uncle's house has lots of stairs so Carter was in Toddler Heaven!

Watching all the people and cars go by through the window while shopping

Visiting awesome buildings and hotels

Wow!!

How relaxing would it be to stay in this hotel?

Carter loved the beach so much!  Nick and I always say that we will never take a vacation to the beach.  Well, now we are already planning our trip to Florida for next year.

Carter was such a good boy!  Pretty much the whole trip, this is what he looked like

Carter is now back to his normal schedule.  He goes to sleep around 10:00, wakes up at 6 and comes into our room, drinks a big glass of milk, then goes back to sleep with us until about 8:00.  Then we get up and around and ready to go to Lisa's with breakfast waiting on him.  They eat lunch at 11:00 then go down for a nap at 12:00.  My mom  picks him up around 3:00, while I workout.  Then we play play play til dinner around 7:00 then bath time which is about 8:00.  Then we play play play and eat popsicles and other snacks until story time and bedtime.  I am loving this schedule and Carter really is too.

We got to break out his Adidas wind pants this morning.  It was pretty chilly!  They are adorable on him!  But it has gotten me scared because they are 12 month pants that fit him perfectly and I pretty much got him mostly 18 month pants.  He just does not have the butt or legs to hold up some 18 month pants, I don't think.....but we will survive.

AD and I are getting to where we are running about 4 miles every day!!  Yes, we are walking some of it but for the most part we are running.  So proud of us!  We have been doing our couch to 5k workout for 2 weeks and we are already on week 5.  I am so ready to start seeing some serious results!  Now if I could just eat right....dang that's so hard.

I started my business class yesterday on public speaking.  I actually really love it!!!  I am learning and having fun in that class.  I think everyone should be taking it.  Not only does it teach how to speak to people one on one and to a crowd but it also teaches how to set goals and meet them, which is right down my ally!

Anyways, I'm getting stuff done today, but got a chance to take a break to post pictures.  Holla atcha!
