End of the Year Program

Carter had his End of the Year Program last night. It was a patriotic theme, so I thought Bentley should coordinate as well :) It was a great little program and VERY entertaining. Each class sang 2 songs then everybody sang 2 songs.









This sweet angel was SO GOOD through the whole thing and clapped for everyone, especially her "Bubbie"




End of the Year Party

Carter had his End of the Year Party today, how can that be possible? I honestly remember the first time I laid eyes on him like it was yesterday. Carter gave all his friends a "Congrats Grad" balloon and a sandbucket filled with summertime goodies and his teacher a gift card. In just a few short months he will be going to "Big School" After YEARS of stressing about it (Marsha and Joseph are glad I finally decided, they got to hear me talk the most about it) we decided to send Carter to private school. It has been a VERY VERY VERY hard decision, but I am excited about it and feel at peace with our decision. He will get out at 12 next year, so I am excited about that. The school is not very close to our house, so I think he will stay after school for a few hours so I can have some sortof a life aside from living in the car :) As for now, let summertime begin :) We are starting with a trip to Toys R' Us for Carter to pick out a graduation gift.

My little shadow (who will be going 2 days a week next year :)


Pizza Time





Carters smile cracks me up


Bentley was in the middle of all of them

BEACH...AGAIN :)

We took a spur of the moment beach trip last week. Josephs mom called at 9:30 Tuesady night and asked if we wanted to go...who says no..LOL! Joseph was in Georgia (his 2nd home) so he drove over Thursday night after his meeting and his dad came down Friday. We had great weather and a wonderful time. Thank you Granny and Papa!!!



Looks like these 2 found my camera..thought they were too funny not to share




She walked up to me and said "I take a rest mama"





Waiting for dinner at Margaritaville


Shopping in the Croc store...Look at Carter back there, he was in heaven. That boy LOVES shoes


Carter favorite part of the beach. We have to ride them every night


Bentleys PRECIOUS new crocs and chubby feet :)









Granny and Papa with the kids


Joseph and I went to Captain Andersons this night for dinner and Granny and Papa took the kids to Bungee, Ride rides, and of course go karts. So, I dont have any pics from this night.

Happy Mother's Day



There is no greater gift than being a mom. I thank God everyday for these 2 wonderful blessings. I had a great Mother's Day weekend. Joseph gave me the whole day off Saturday. I got a pedicure, got my eyebrows waxed, went shopping, and had lunch with my wonderful grandparents, and shopped some more. Of course when you have the time to look, you never find anything. I got a purse and 2 swimsuits. My real gift will come when I get an oil portrait of Carter. Now that he is 5 I am going to do one and I will do Bentleys when she is 5. Joseph took this picture at church and Priss Pot would not sit with us, she said "I stand right here"...its already started :)

McWane Center

Today we met my friend Ashley and her precious children at the McWane Center. We always have a such a good time with them. Her kids are so sweet and well behaved. Carter and Brady are so much alike and get along great.

It's Over....

The season has come to a close for The Cubs. They finished with an 8-2 record, but most importantly had fun. They all did a great job. As Carters season comes to a close, Josephs church softball season is just beginning, so we will still spend many nights at the ballpark watching daddy. So long baseball, until Fall Ball begins :)



Most of the team




Best one I could get. Eating pizza and cookie cake after the game


When they sat down to get their trophys, she was right in the middle of them...ha


He is SO PROUD of his trophy and put his game ball in it as soon as he got home

Muffins with Mom

The 4 year old classes at Carters school had Muffins with Mom on Monday. They sang "Mommy Loves Me" to the tune of Jesus Loves Me. It was so sweet and Carter did a great job. He gave me a flower pot he painted along with seeds to plant some flowers in. (I hope I actually do it :) His teacher made us scrapbooks from all of the events throughout the year, which I LOVE. He has grown so much and lost his baby look. He has had a great year and I am so proud of him.

The whole time he was singing, Bentley kept yelling "Hey Bubbie" and waving...ha


Bowling

Carters friend Cole celebrated his 6th birthday with a Bowling Party. This was Carter's first time to bowl and he did very well. He actually won within his group. He has already declared that his 6th birthday party will be a bowling party :)

Gotta love those shoes :)


I was afraid he wouldnt even be able to pick up the ball
