Family Pictures

Family pictures by Summer (my sister-in-law). Thanks Summer! Every member in the Potter family got together in June over Father's day weekend. We packed in as much as you possibly could in a one weekend, but all amazing events that I'm glad we could all celebrate with one another. Mike graduated from his Orthopedic surgery residency and we got a killer dinner for free! Way to go Mike! Carter spent the night with ALL his cousins and loved it! Cousin Mikayla got baptized. We took family pictures and then had a pizza and pool party. Easton and Alex were blessed on Sunday.

Carter was so big on Father's day. He gave ALL his binkies to his cousin Easton. I had started talking about giving our binkies to the babies about 2 weeks before we went to New York. When it was about time to leave, we told him it was time and he walked to Easton with every one watching and gave him the binkies all by himself. We were standing 10-15 feet away. I was heart broken and sad watching him give up one of his most prized possessions. Maybe it was partly that my little guy was growing up right before my eyes. He was just so mature. Later that night, he was sad when he tried to go to sleep. Jason ended up rocking him for a few hours that night and then we had a hard time with sleep for maybe 2 weeks and now he is a big binkie free boy. He got a few "Thank you" presents a few days later that were labeled from Easton and Alex. Cousin Alex came to visit with one of his binkies and Carter picked it up and gave it to Alex. He wasn't even tempted to suck on it. I continually amazed by this kid. I don't have that kind of will power.



Happy Father's Day Jas! He is so good to our kids. Kylie laughs so much with him! Carter loves him to pieces!





The 3 2010 Potter Grandchildren born within 3 months of each other. They nearly killed off Grandpa Potter with having to share my mom as each of them were being born. Kylie is 5 months old, Easton is 8 months old, and Alex is 7 months old.
