 A couple pics and updates from Carty Man... 
 Crosby did a couple rounds of swim lessons and most of the time he preferred to read on the pool deck over swimming:)

 A mega beyblade. Carter is always creating with Legos
 Mr. Blue eyes 
"When I am 100 I will look old and wrinkly and have messed up hair and I'll be messy and always have a smile. I will have 3 grandchildren and a cabin and a lake and a walking stick and a watch and glasses. I will be dirty and clumsy, nice and grateful. WOW it's crazy to imagine what life will be like in 100 years."
 Wart removal 
 Mother's Day gifts
 Some art projects from school 
 Spring school pics
 Carter spent lots of time on the tramp this summer and got his flip down!

  Carter made himself a bitmoji on my phone!
 The cold and snow won't stop him! 
 When we were in NJ, Carter texted and sent Marcos (video messages) to his two buddies, Sawyer and Tyson


A couple quotes from Carty Man:

For his St. Patrick's Day project at school Carter wrote: "If I found a pot of gold I would buy a million Bibles to give to people all around the world so they could hear the Word of God!"

Questions at bedtime:
"Will we actually get to watch God defeat Satan?"
"If Abraham was alive before Jesus, how were his sins forgiven?"
"If God can't be in the presence of sin and Abraham died before Christ could pay for his sins, what happened to Abraham between his death and Christ's death?"
"How is it possible that God doesn't have a beginning? Can you explain that to me?"

Me: "Hey kids, who do you think would be most likely to get a tatoo in our family?"
Carter: "Cooper John. He'd get a skull with a dagger through it."
(Guess they've talked about it:) )

Carter occasionally will talk about cool cars he dreams up. I told him he should design it and make it himself someday. His response: "Oooooooh! Then I'd get a discount!"

Carter's Fall/Winter Update 2017/2018

Just hanging out:)
During bike safety week at school, Carter got to be in a Bike Rodeo
 Lots of awards for good behavior in school! 
 Carter participated in Fastbreak basketball this fall. He is doing YMCA ball this winter! 
 "I am thankful for...My family because they are kind to me and they care for me and love me and I am thankful for my house and my car because my car helps be get places and my house gives me shelter. I am thankful for food because it makes me healthy and strong and I am thankful for my grandpas and grandmas and my aunts and my uncles."
 Carter is always saying, "Boo Green Bay Packers!"
 Right before Christmas I got to chaperone a field trip for Carter's class. We walked to Santa's village and made crafts. 
 Carter has been enjoying cub scouts! They don't meet very often which is kind of disappointing but when he does go it's great!
Pictures from Carter's teacher: design a pumpkin from a favorite book, eating spaghetti in a hot dog bun (based off a book they read), and gingerbread houses!
  Carter's student teacher from last year got a job at another elementary school in town. We went and visited her one day after school. She cried she was so touched! Carter LOVED Ms. Hedland!! 
 A once in a blue moon snuggle with Carty Man 
 Art project from school!

-Carter loves to draw and spends lots of time on a YouTube sight called Art for Kids Hub. 
-He grew out of Pokemon cards and has really gotten into sports cards this fall. That was all he asked for at Christmas time. He trades with his friends!

He'll often say things like, "let's get out ALL THE LEGOS and made a huge creation!" Or, "let's get out all our cards and organize them." He starts a lot of things but rarely finishes!
-He has really enjoyed basketball this year. He asked me if I can run a camp for him and his friends this summer! Super cute! 
-He got pulled into enriched math this fall and is excelling. 
-Asking Tim questions about the birds and the bees..."So is that what you guys do all day when we are at school??!"
