"Fred's Cars"

I told Fred that after college he should start his own line of model cars and call them... Fred's Cars. He has the incredible ability to fix or build just about anything. I actually go to him now when I need help fixing something... not because Dan can't... he's just so busy. Our other guys have started to do the same. The other day Steven got a memory card stuck in his phone. He tried for several hours to get it out before he handed it over to Fred. Fred had it out in less than a minute... no joke!

Anyway... last May Fred gave Carter one of his model cars. That car has been everywhere with us (Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nebraska and Ohio)! It is by far one of his favorite possessions... but he has still always called it Fred's car. The poor thing is a little beat up now. The paint is starting to chip and the windshield has a pretty nice crack in it. Well... the gray car is finally getting a break. Last week Fred put three new cars in Carter's toy box that he didn't want anymore. Carter went nuts when he opened his toy box the next morning. Here they are (in order of importance)...

The black SUV goes everywhere with him (even to the potty)...
The red one is my favorite...

He calls all of them his Fred's cars... I love it... and I'm sure Fred does too.
