As it plays out...

At almost 21 months old, Carter is truly a joy to be around.  He knows he is funny and tries hard to crack people up.  He genuinely loves his baby brother and has never even remotely hurt him.  On most occasions he plays well by himself, and there isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't tell us "i luh lou" several times.

However, as of late, he has found a way to let us know when he isn't happy.  It typically goes something like this:

1.  He lets out a little yell

2.  He violently shakes his hands

3.  He covers his face.


And then all is right with the world again. 

Yesterday, Carter was suited up to go help his Daddy (his best friend) with chores outside (his favorite place).  I thought it was the perfect time to get a snapshot of his new Sperrys that Mimi gave him.  Bad idea, Mom.  I was deterring him from his outside adventure.  Said fit commenced.

Oh the adventure of parenting :)

And We're Back...



It isn't news to anyone that I lack a little (or a lot) of discipline when it comes to writing a blog. Nonetheless, I am trying it again. Hoping to document memories, have a place for new recipes and share bits of information that I have found helpful, The Fisk Files have resurfaced.



Helping contribute to all of that are my two special helpers:


Peter Wallin


and
Carter Thomas


Until next time...

What We're Up to These Days...

Well, I thought it might be time for my quarterly update :)*

*I might do this more often if it didn't take half a day to upload the pictures, and then decide to delete all of the text before I pressed "publish post." Brilliant.

Ranch Life: This little momma, who loves Carter to pieces is about to have a baby calf. Since we have a few hundred of these, ranch life is about to get busy!

Cocoa, the puppy, is not much of a puppy anymore.

Family Life: the last family picture we took on Christmas Day 2010


A visit from one of the best girls I know (and possibly Carter's future wife???)


I am taking an online photography class in hopes of learning to use my new camera. Here are a few shots...

Carter's Life: He's on the move, army-style and is getting into everything! He eats any book he can find and loves to make us laugh. He's such a good-natured little boy and the joy of our lives!
