A light at the end of this Tunnel!

Today is Chris' first day back at school. Today is the first day of his LAST semester. I still remember the night he came home and told me he really felt like he needed to go back to school. As much as I agreed with him I was terrified of how we would do it. Originally we thought it would only take 3 semesters but because of scheduling issues he now into his 5th and last semester. Every semester I can remember thinking, "Is this ever going to be over?" Well I think it is really going to happen. I think the end is coming and I am so excited! There is a light at the end of this tunnel and I can finally see it, Praise God!

Day out with Daddy!

Chris has been wanting to take Carter to the golf course since the day he was born. Well, a couple of weeks ago they took there first golf outing. I was so nervous that Carter would get to restless or in the way but they had a blast. Chris looked so proud to as he watched Carter try and hit the ball with his own putter. Chris loves golf and has become really good at it. I think he dreams for Carter to be the next Tiger Woods ;) And Carter loves golf too, but then again he loves anything that his Daddy does.

Carter would tell Chris after every hole, "That was a good chot (shot)"

Here he is showing off his own skills, I was impressed!

He liked to get the ball out of the hole for Daddy.

They are the cutest thing I have ever seen.

Carter has a book I read to him at night called If Jesus Came to Visit Me. Its a children's story about what kids would do if Jesus came to visit them. Almost every page shows a picture of Jesus with a child except a couple. Carter asked me a couple of nights ago, "where did Jesus go?" meaning why wasn't he on that page. I told him "I don't know". Carter replied with the cutest comment ever............. " Maybe he went golfin?" I just smiled and said "yes, baby maybe he went golfing!" Kids say the cutest things. 

Weekend with Daddy!

Carter's 1st Lake Trip!

I couldn't believe he actually wore his life jacket.

Daddy and his Buddy fishing!

We were so blessed this weekend that C was off from Friday till Monday. With him being in school and working full time our time spent together as a family is minimal. So this weekend was a great time to catch up. We debated about going to see my parent's or maybe the lake with his Dad but then decided to just stay home. C had not been feeling well so he went to the Dr. on Friday. Last minute we decided that we would go to Oak Creek Lake for the day on Saturday. We had never taken Carter before so we were looking forward to it. We went out and bought Carter a fishing pole and borrowed a life jacket from a friend. We were all so excited. He couldn't stop talking about it. We hit the road Saturday morning by 6:30. C wanted to be there early to fish. It is only about a 2 hour drive so it wasn't bad at all. As we got closer you could feel the wind beating against the car. I was concerned that the weather would be bad. Hoping and praying it wouldn't, we went on. When we got there the winds were up to 30mph and it was cold outside. The most unideal lake weather you could  ask for. We stuck around for while hoping it would calm down but it didn't. C took Carter to play outside because he was getting restless. We had him bundled up with double shirts and socks. I didn't have a hat for him so I tied his shirt around his head like a scarf. I should have taken a picture, he looked so funny. About noon we called it quits and went home. No boat, no fishing, no water, we were all so disappointed that our day got ruined.

Sunday C asked if we could try to go again. I was pretty apprehensive after the weather the day before. But he talked to his brother who was there and reassured me it was better. So off we went again and boy am I glad we did. The weather was great. It was in the 70's and just a tad breezy. We weren't sure if Carter would be willing to wear his life jacket or not but at that point he would do anything to get to go down by the water. C and him fished off and on the rest of the day. They had some great Daddy son time. We decided to take Carter out on the boat. After 5 minutes we looked down and he was asleep. I guess all the excitement of the day and the vibrations from the water knocked him out. He slept the whole way until we hit some choppy water. He didn't like that so much so he preferred to stay on the dock the rest of the afternoon. But we had such a great time. Nothing blesses my heart more than to see the relationship and time spent between the two of them. C is such an amazing Dad. And Carter not only adores him but wants to do everything as he would say "I do it yike Daddy". We had a great time. Time well needed.

Honey Bun's 24th B-Day

Chris's turned 24 on Saturday. We had some guys over for poker and pizza to celebrate. 

Carter helped Daddy blow out the candles on his cake!

I had big plans to make a cool poker cake but instead I just made a cake and put some chips and cards on it. Guys don't care. It turned out cute I thought.
