Adalyn's Here!

Adalyn Grace Treadway was born tonight! She is 7 pounds nine ounces and 21" long. She has a head full of black, almost curly, hair, and I think that she looks like her Momma! Ashley is doing well. She looked tired, but very very happy and proud of her new baby girl. As you can see by the photo, Chandler is on cloud nine right now! You can also see (and we could hear) that Adalyn has a good pair of lungs. =)

Sorry I only had one photo, but Adalyn had to eat and then the family came in so we didn't have a lot of chances for photos. Randi got some really good ones when she was born, so check out her blog for some close ups!

New Haircut!

Jason cut Carter's hair last Saturday, and it looks great! Carter didn't really enjoy the process, but I think that he appreciated the final product.

Golf!

Carter has become obsessed with golf. He seemed to really like it when his Uncle Jesse showed him how to hit the ball a few weeks ago, so we bought him a little golf set for his birthday. He loves to hit the ball around in the back yard with his Pa, and he even likes to watch it on TV! The only problem is that he hits everything left handed, so he hits the ball with the back of the driver instead of the front. If anyone finds a left handed kit for little kids, let me know!

Birthday Video

Here is a video of Carter opening his giant piano mat. He really liked it, but I think that Jason and I had as much fun with it as he did.

Carter's Birthday Part 2

Well, it has been crazy over here in Turnerville, so I am just now getting to post all of the fun that Carter has been having lately! First things first, though, I must post about Carter's birthday! He had a great day that started with presents, presents, presents. We couldn't help but pick up Carter a couple more gifts, and he also got to open presents from his Mamaw and Papaw Nichols in KY. We even got to go out to Papaw Mark's for some swimming and golf cart rides! Definitely a terrific day for Carter!

Carter's Birthday Week!

Carter's birthday is July 26th, but we have been celebrating all week!!! We started out by letting him open up the presents from the Mamaws in Florida, which was really fun because he hadn't opened up any presents since Christmas. He is still a little tentative, but I think that he is getting used to it. I loved all of the clothes (especially the pajamas), but he preferred the fire truck!

Saturday afternoon we had Carter's birthday party! We had it a week early because our church's VBS is next week, so we didn't want to interrupt any decorating plans for next weekend. We ended up having 38 people at the party, so I guess it was a good plan. We set up a slip and slide (thank you Cheatham's), a wriggle sprinkler, and a little pool with a slide and a palm tree sprinkler. Carter had a great time running from one water toy to the next, and I think that all of the kids had a good time, too. After cake and ice cream, Carter had some help opening up his presents from his dad and all of his friends. He got so many great toys- now where do we put them? Honestly, we feel very blessed that everyone came out to wish Carter a great birthday! Thank you so much!

After the party, we went to Firehouse Subs for dinner. Carter was so tired at 6:30 that he fell asleep in the car, slept through dinner, the ride home, and through the night until 6:00 the next morning. I guess he just played himself out!

Papaw Mark's!

Carter has been talking about "Pop Mark's" all week, so we promised him that we would try to see him this weekend. We got to go out to his house this afternoon, and Carter had a ball!

First, we went to feed the baby deer Sweet Pea. Carter loved walking throught the forest to find her, but I don't think that he really knew what to do with her. She was the cutest thing! Second, Carter got to ride with his Papaw Mark on the golf cart to go see the fish and the ducks down at the pond. Carter LOVES to ride on anything, so today was probably his best day ever. He got to ride on the golf cart, the 4 wheeler, the lawn mower, and the big tractor! The last thing Carter did was learn how to golf from his Uncle Jesse. Jesse is just learning how to play, so he brought out his clubs to show us his swing. Carter thought that it was pretty cool, especially when Jesse took the time to show Carter how to hit a few!

Carter fell asleep on the way home- I think that he just played himself out!
