Wrestlemania!!

I apologize in advance for the overload of pictures! I had a hard time narrowing them down! We have been busy! We are so thankful to have been able to spend time with the "other Freeman's" in Detroit last weekend. We spent 5 days with Jeremy's brother Al and his wife Nancy and their 3 boys, Ben, Nick and Sam. We got to watch Al coach his high school team in a district wrestling meet on Saturday and the boys had a tournament on Sunday. Carter and Jeremy got to help both teams work out while the girls took in all the action. I have to say that I need to get myself in better shape as I had a bad case of bleacher butt from sitting all weekend! The kiddos did great and Carter has been practicing his wrestling moves ever since. Carter taking down Sam. Jeremy and Carter getting a better view on the action.

Future champion!

We had a great time playing with the boys. Jeremy taught them some new card games and managed to clean out the boys piggy banks on poker night ( he gave it all back of course! )



The boys did great playing with Claire. Nick was especially fond of her!



The Freeman Five!

Carter has been extremely helpful around the house lately. He has been into "earning" things so this is his motive for being helpful. Although sometimes I catch him doing things out of the goodness of his heart. As I was getting ready to vacuum one day, I came back downstairs to find Carter already doing it for me! He has also been very helpful with Claire now that she is "bigger" He likes feeding her a bottle and is always bringing her toys.


Claire can finally sit up! I thought for awhile she was going to skip this stage as she is very close to crawling! She can get herself up on her knees and push herself to a goal, which is usually one of Carter's toys she isn't suppose to have! Baby proofing is much harder the second time around!

Carter got to go to his first cattle sale with papa a few weeks ago. He didn't say much about all the cows he saw, but talked alot about the man who talked very fast! (the auctioneer). He sure smelled nice when he got home! He was so tired from the big day that he fell asleep with his hand in the snack bowl!

The weather here has been so crazy lately! We have been taking walks whenever we get the chance. This stoller is quite the workout for me! With both kids in it it weighs close to 60 lbs! I feel like I've ran a marathon after going around the block!


Claire has this new face where she crinkles up her nose, closes her eyes and shakes her head back and forth! It just cracks us up!


Lastly, Claire turned 7 months last week. What a big girl!

It looks like you guys had a great time. I can't tell you how cute the picture of Carter in the wrestling singlet is! He is too funny. Claire has gotten so big, I can't believe what a smiley baby she is. We hope you guys are doing good and YES, we need to get together, Sam has being trying to spot Carter for a week now.
