What's New With The Carter Family

Jem is now 4 years old! Can you believe that all he wanted for his birthday was to have a 'Purple Party'? (Whatever that means....) We sent out invitations to 9 of his closest pals, and decorated the house in all manner of purple. Then for 2 hours it was pure kid bliss - with pizza, cake, games, a pinata & a special bouncy castle for the gang to jump in! Jem had a ball - and is already talking about NEXT year's birthday, which for now he is predicting will be a 'Yellow Party' (Spongebob perhaps???)

Have you ever seen a dog so fine? Look at that pretty girl..........and all it took was a visit to the doggy stylist! Money well spent, or so Snickers thinks :)

This Valentine's Day Jem had a playgroup party, where candy was exchanged and crafts were done.....my special memory of the day was when Jem colored a red heart for me and wrote his name (all by himself!) in it and said "this is for you, my mama!". It brought a tear to my eye I tell ya! That is, of course, until we got home..........where he promptly ran to daddy and exclaimed "look what I made you daddy!". So much for my 'special' valentine!
