Carter's first birthday celebration was a joint party with his cousin Ayda, who's birthday is the week before his. They celebrated together with their Grandparents, CeCe and Granddaddy.

Beyond the birthday.....

We added two steers to our farm :) They can usually be found in the front pasture in the evening... I think they enjoy the sunset! |
