These are a few of my favorite things....

Sleepy Carter and his favorite blanket made by his Great Granny Boggs.

Mother and Daughter.

Carter is mesmerized by Grandma Manis' tickle/rubbing! 

We took a steer to harvest!  Beef :)

I found Carter (a little too quiet!) with my cell phone.  It looks
like he's saying, "Who's this calling me?!"

Playing in the ball pit at Bounce and Play.

We took Carter to Bounce and Play for the first time.
He couldn't get enough of the slides!! ...Momma was
a little tired out after carrying Carter up the "stairs" each
time!!... although she enjoyed the slides too :P

I took Carter to visit Granddaddy Boggs at his office and we got to
walk around the "yard" and see all of the equipment.  Carter
was thrilled!  He ran ahead...

Little boy...big bucket!

"Momma...where's the key?!"

Carter didn't understand why Granddaddy wanted him to get
down before they had gone for a ride!

"Whoa!  Look at those big Pans!"

Little Boy...BIG Pans!

He's got the right idea!

Walking on Dozer tracks.

"Look at me Mom!"

"See Granddaddy, I know how to operate it!  Can
I have the keys now?!"

He's watching the bubbles slowly dump out!

...and again!

Blowing bubbles.

He's crazy about heavy machinery... this is Carter
watching the only TV he's interested in...his
John Deere video!

So captivated!

Reading with Daddy!

Farm boy :)

Carter and Sunny check out the rocks.

"What should we get into next?!"

Carter must like the way the corn feels...
most of the time he'd rather swish his hand around in
the jar than actually throw the corn into the chickens....

Scout has become a great guard dog...he'll have a new test soon....
we're getting new chicks and once they're big enough they'll
be in the fields with the chicken tractor.

Opal...look at those ears!!  I feel like they must get annoying!?

I don't think so Carter!!

Sunny.

...not sure how Sunny feels about all the lovin she gets!

Carter and Scout check out the ground...

all excited about stopping at the playground!

Little boy... BIG playground.

Yummy :)  ...a rare time when he's using is right
hand to eat... he typically favors his left.

..he love to help me with the farm chores...and
in particular he loves to carry around buckets!

"I found a rock!"

He has a thing about stomping on old cow pies...while
saying "Poo"....

"I need to fill my bucket with feed...but I can't reach the door..."

He grabs the scoop and goes right for the feed!

While the pigs eat he likes to add things to round out their meal... rocks,
dirt, hay....

"Good pig."

Sitting on the farrowing rail....he's trying to
 convince the pigs to come sit with him!

Slips!

"Hehe... I got muddy AGAIN Momma!"

Ruby's snout... she's a Duroc with a 1/4 Tamworth and
therefore has a longer snout than the Gloustershire Old Spots.

Strapped into the Kubota while Momma feeds
the pigs.

Running with the dogs.

These two are always up to something!  It's easier to keep up with
them when they play together...

Carter's favorite mud puddle.

Our steers are nice enough, but they're not overly
demonstrative... however, they must be swayed
by Carter's charm because they come to him!

Carter loves to get them to lick his hand! ...Looks like
Scout is saying, "I can lick too"!

"I'm so innocent."... right!

Action shot!

Winter colors.

Ummm...mud :)

"Look Momma...more mud!"

"Take a photo of the mud on my face!"

? 

Lovin on Lady.

Taking a break from all that work.

This is the "O..did you hear that?" look.
