Easter and a bit more...

Three generations of Manis' coincidently wearing the same outfit!  

Carter and his Grandma (Manis)!

Carter thinks something about Grandpa is funny :)

Easter morning.... Carter sees what the Easter Bunny brought him...

I had fun decorating some eggs for Carter's basket :)

Carter's first Easter egg hunt!

Plastic eggs don't taste like the real ones...

"Look what I found Daddy!"

Carter helps his Uncle T open the eggs for Ayda.

On the playground...

TWO double yokers!!!  Yummm :) 

What a look!

Hehe...he looks pretty excited about drinking juice with breakfast!

All tuckered out.

Springtime update!

Carter is such a happy boy :)

When I vacuum Carter follows me around in his walker.  He LOVES the vacuum cleaner, so sometimes I "vacuum" him....well, this time I vacuumed his hair!!  I just had to take a photo!

He's pulling up on everything!

Daisy has been teaching Carter to share!  Here Carter is sharing his snack with her!

Time to cut the grass already?!  This is Suli....he thinks he's hiding.

Enjoying the warm weather and sunshine!

We had our pool deck re-built...here Carter is enjoying a space just his size...and the dirt :)

We moved the pigs onto new pasture and now they have a pond!   Talk about hog heaven!

Pearl the piglet checks out my camera.

Pigs really do eat grass.

Carter with Uncle Nathan, Jenn, Zoe, and Ezra!  Yay!

Carter and his Daddy "walkin" around.

If we could just capture the energy!  Here Carter is playing with a piece of paper!

Carter's 9.5 Months old!...and pigs, of course:

Carter's CeCe feeding him a gingerbread cookie his Great Granny Boggs made.
.....Grannies and sweets!

Yay!!  Pigs on pasture!!
We put up electric fencing in our pastures so we can rotate the pigs
through them.  It is SO SO fun to look out and see pigs grazing...
and rooting...in the fields.  They are loving their new area!

Carter checking out his piggies from the window!

Carter sleeping on the way home from Farmville
where we got some rugs and a light.  The photo
is cute, but you should have seen him in real life
...even cuter!  :)

Carter and his cousin Ayda playing in the yard!  ...actually
although Ayda loves Carter she didn't want to get any closer
to him because he "would slobber on her"!

Sharing a stick :)

Callum playing with Ayda.

Tuckered out after all that sunshine and fresh air!

Clean chicken coop...check.

Anyone want to buy eggs?!  I have dozens!!!

I dumped 15+ tractor bucket loads of topsoil
 and then the litter from the chicken house and
some of the compost we've collected to create a
new garden area for corn and soybeans!

4 varieties of tomatoes and 3 varieties of peppers started.  I'll
plant the rest directly in the garden.

This is Pearl the piglet :)  I am keeping her to breed because
she is SO cute...and has all the other important characteristics!

Big pigs checking out the small pigs!

This is Ruby and she is (hopefully) pregnant!!!!  We took her
to her to visit her boyfriend last week :)  June piglets :) :)

Pigs being pigs.  They are so funny.

Carter has just started to pull up on everything! 

What a big boy!

Dear Carter,  You are only 9.5 months old.  Please
feel free to wait to walk for a few more months.
Love- Momma ;)
