Dreaming of Days to Come

Okay, so today was one of those days in Spring when it starts to get warm and you start thinking of summer and all the things that summer brings. For me summer means our annual Bear Lake Reunion with the Carter Clan. The reunion has been my Carter Grandparent's yearly tradition for nearly as long as I can remember and one of the highlights of my summer. This summer also marks the return of my littlest bro. from his Mission to Macon, Georgia. I am literally counting down the days until his return (don't tell him though!). I found this neglected roll of film and had it developed last week and was surprised to find pictures of Russ at Bear Lake. It was fate! Destiny for my blog!

Katelyn Caught Grandpa!

Mom and Dad invited the whole family over for Sunday Dinner. Kimber hadn't held her baby all day and so she wasn't sharing but grandpa really wanted to hold her. His puppy brown eyes broke her down and grandpa got his way. Add to Katelyn's talley. She had her daddy wrapped now she's got Grandpa too! It's really cute to watch dad hold her. He loves to stroke her hands and watch her dream. Katelyn still sleeps a lot! It's hard to believe she's a little over 7 weeks old!
Jared and Kimber and Katelyn came in matching outfits today: jeans and t-shirts from Kimber's brother's company. Kately looked so big! Jeans are such a big girl thing. What a cutie. And Grandpa is so proud.

Bathtime for Baby!

We had the most fun this weekend! We had girls night during Priesthood Session Saturday. Kimber and Katelyn came over and we watched Persuasion after enjoying chinese food and giving Katelyn a bath. She cries and cries when you take away her clothes but as soon as she's in the water she's a happy camper. What a water baby!

Sunday, we tied bows for Katelyn's hair while we watched conference. After, Becca, Sam, Mom, Dad, Jared and Kimber and I had knock-off Cafe' Rio Salads and watched Alvin and the Chipmunks. What a funny movie!

She's Captured his Heart

And she's never giving it back! After I took these pictures and was reviewing them, I was so touched to see how my little bro is becoming a DAD! He loves his little girl so much. She is so lucky to have such a neat daddy in her life. And, yes, he is already wrapped around her little finger even if she's not fully aware of that fact yet. She has captured his heart and there is no giving it back.

Here's the Princess!

Isn't she just the cutest? She is growing so fast. I got to go take pictures of Katelyn at her house on Friday. Kimber fixed us a fantastic dinner. We talked and played and then took pictures of Katelyn and her bunny from her cousin, Jade. Her aunt thinks she's just as cute as can be.
