8 Years and Counting..

Today is our anniversary.. I am not a big "lets celebrate" for anniversaries, V Day etc.. (Although I do enjoy putting on birthday parties..) However, I do appreciate how hard my sweetheart works for our little family. I have never enjoyed being around someone as much as I do Rod.. And never expected my life to turn out so well and complete! How lucky am I?? Thanks Darlin!

Going Private..

Hello Everybody!

I kind of thought I had this thingy rigged that you could only get on if I invited you, then if you bookmarked the blog it would always let you on.. Unfortunately that shows you all how little I know about this blogging business..

I created the blog for our Friends and family, local and out of state, but there are certain people In this world I would prefer DIDN'T know the latest and greatest.. So I am REALLY going to go private, please comment on this post with your e-mail address if you would like to continue to follow our 'exciting' life! It just creates one more step in viewing our blog, you just have to enter your e-mail to log in.. I think.. We will see how it goes..

I will be changing it to Private next Thursday.. Please send me your e-mails!

Thanks for understanding..

Rod, Jennie & Cassidy

4 Weeks Old!!

The Pups are already 4 weeks old! They are growing into 'Schnauzers' and are just darling! Check 'em out! carterscanines.blogspot.com

Obama Won.. So we bought a Gun..

Yes, it is true. It came with 2- 17 round magazines, which soon you will not be able to buy. I don't really like how it shoots, I still prefer my 9mm revolver. But Rod LOVES it and is very pleased with his purchase.
We enjoy target shooting on a regular basis. Cassidy likes to put the empty casings back. She has just as much fun playing in the back of the truck as she does shooting!

It is disappointing that people who enjoy recreational shooting do not know how to pick up after themselves! PACK IT IN PACK IT OUT!!! Seriously, we couldn't believe the junk people left behind. We picked up as much as we could fit in our bags..

Here is sis modeling her 'earrings' that's what she calls the earplugs! At least she keeps them in!

It is no secret Rod and I were not fans of either of the presidential candidates, we voted for the one that we HOPED would protect our interests the most. I hope you all did the same!

The NRA goes the extra mile to help protect our rights as Americans, it doesn't make sense to control guns for law abiding citizens when the people who misuse them will still obtain and use them illegally..

NRA needs your support! go to www.nra.org sign up today!

3 Weeks Old!!

I will be posting updated pictures weekly, so check it out! carterscanines.blogspot.com that way friends and family who don't care to see them grow up on a weekly basis won't have to sort through all the posts! But those of you who do want to see your more than welcome to visit often!

Thanks!

Itsy Bitys Spider...

Here we have our trick or treating clan! Hadlie, Tyson, Davis, Cole & Rhett.. And Cassidy. The little town we live in does a good job of getting the community to participate in these holiday activities. And they really turn out SO fun! Cassidy made it about half way through the circle of trunks and told her dad "she had enough candy now.." Is there such a thing??
Here she was being a JUMPING spider.. I guess they growl..

Here is our whole group. We went trick or treating and then Kevin & Shareen invited us back to their house for some home made chili and corn bread! MMM.. MMM.. YUM!!

Cassidy's costume was really cute. The legs were all connected and then connected to her arms so when ever she moved her arms they all moved!

Pre-School Halloween Party..

Cassidy's school had a fun trunk or treat. The kids all dressed up in their costumes, and the parents backed into the little parking area and the kids came in shifts. There were some really cute little costumes! The reason you see a picture of Cassidy SMILING is because when her group came out, I hid.. That's right.. I HID! So she wouldn't see me and participate instead of cling to me!
Here is her whole class. The princess in the back is Miss Candy, she is Cassidy's favorite teacher. Cassidy says she is 'like Jani, huh mom'.. So she MUST be special!

Here we are, sis not smiling.. Although, she was quite excited to see me dressed up! She kept calling me 'cowboy' in a low voice.. It was hilarious!

Here is Shar and her two boys! Cassidy loves playing with her cousins.. And they really help her be more.. uh.. normal??
