April was a very fun and busy month. I can't believe it is over and we are already in the second week of May. At the beginning of April Dave and his dad planned a fishing trip that Carter got to go on with them. Carter was so excited to spend the entire day with his daddy. Carter has been so excited to have Dave around more often. This summer is going to be great with Dave having a break from school. Dave got some fun pictures of Carter while they were fishing. They saw really a lot of wildlife on their trip too.
Fishing
Carter loves to see wildlife. He gets so excited.
I love this picture. He is a great little fisherman. Dave bought Carter his own fishing box before they went. And the night before they spent a while filling his box with all kinds of fishing stuff.
Cute Boy!!!
A very serious fisherman!
Dave said that Carter was getting really good at casting his own line out into the river. I can't wait to go camping and fishing this summer. I think the kids are going to love it.
Soccer
Carter was so excited to start soccer this year. I think that his daddy is just as excited to see him start to play sports. Carter got to pick out his own number and of course he picked number 5 because that matched how old he was. They are this really fun bright green color and their team name is The Flying Turtle's.
He is really learning fast how to control the ball.
I thought the hardest part would be for him to not touch the ball with his hands but he is really good about that already.
It is so fun to watch him play. He gets so excited and when he does something that he knows is really good he looks at Dave and I with the biggest smile on his face and jumps up and down.
Landon's New Room
Ever since we moved into our house about 5 years ago we have had this spare room that we haven't really done anything with. I am so excited now to have this room to turn into a nursery. Dave and my dad planned a weekend that Dave had off work and they went to work on building a wall that would create a nursery and a laundry room.
The first thing that we had to do was fix some of the electrical work. My brother-in-law Ryan is an electrician so he and my dad came over and fixed the ceiling lights and put in a outlet and light switch for Landon's room.
The next morning Dave and my dad were hard at work. All day they spend downstairs hammering and building. Dave loved it. It was really fun to see the progress of the entire thing.
Carter was right there working along side Dave and my dad. He thought it was fun to be able to help Dad and Grandpa.
The lifting of the wall!!! I was just standing back loving every minute of this.
Dave loved being the one to build this wall. I could tell he was very proud.
My dad and Dave had a lot of fun building, talking, and laughing.
A few days later my dad came back over to finish working on the wall. Dave did great at cutting and hanging the sheet rock. Carter was his little helper to break off the parts of the sheet rock that Dave had cut.
Macie sure was a good helper. She was making Grandpa laugh really hard. She helped with the screws and measuring things.
I don't know what Dave would have done without his little helper Carter. I should say BIG helper!
Three guys hard at work.
Adding the finishing touches.
This is what the room looks like right now. We still need to paint and lay the carpet. I am getting really excited to finish the room but we have taken a little break until after Landon is born so that I can help paint and have a little more energy to decorate his room.
This is Landon's closet. It is a great size as is the room.
For the most part all the hard work is done. Dave and I are really excited to have this done. Not only is it great for Landon but we have just made out 3 bedroom house into a 4 bedroom house. Because we added an actual closet it can be listed as a bedroom if and when we ever sell the house.
