Flashback, Nyles holding Carter April 2017 vs May 2020.
After tearing out the fireplace, Steve started working on the cabinets/bookcases for our new built ins around the fireplace. He drafted a plan, bought the wood and supplies, and got to work.
Making great progress!
Nyles made some fruit salad, with a little help and direction from me.
Getting ready to paint.
Dave came over to help w/ his paint sprayer.
Steve working on getting all angles.
Cleaning up.
Looking good!
Piper happy as can be playing fetch.

Carter likes to sit on Piper's bed and snuggle w/ her.

These are his new Paw Patrol birthday pjs. He couldn't wait until actual birthday.
We had some crazy wind storms for a few days.
One of our new Honey Locust trees unfortunately got snapped in half.
Carter also got a "new" light up sword for his birthday he found at Savers.
More progress on the cabinets. Steve made the doors himself as well and even figured out how to make the hinges inside the doors called cup hinges.
Then he got the shiplap up above the fireplace and started framing the fireplace.
Cement board up!
We celebrated Carter's 4th birthday this week. His birthday was Monday, the 8th, but we decided to celebrate on Sunday since I had work on Monday. Carter was sooo excited the whole week and kept asking us how many more day until his birthday. He also wanted a construction cake like Nyles had for his 2nd birthday. Carter's cake for his 4th birthday.
And w/ the crazy weather we were having, we had more crazy rain on Sunday.
And even some hail!
Pauline's family came over for lunch then cake and ice cream.
About ready to blow out the candle.
Then time to open presents. Grandma/Grandpa on the farm sent some Paw Patrol books.
Pauline gave him a cute dinosaur treasure box as well. Thanks for the gifts!
And a remote control car from us.
The boys then played w/ the remote control car and Piper of course had to chase it.
For dinner we went over to Diane/LuDean's place to continue the celebration for Carter's birthday. Dave and Joann came over as well. Diane was really sweet and decorated w/ balloons and streamers. Carter and Nyles thought it was funny to put the birthday hats all over their face.
After dinner Carter wanted to open presents next.
Thanks for the gifts everyone!
Then it was time for cake and ice cream. Carter w/ his cake and Nyles w/ his in 2014.
Singing Happy Birthday!
Construction cake ready to be eaten!
Carter had a wonderful birthday.
Thank you all for helping to celebrate it w/ him and making it special!
