Logan got into the action too!
Carter got a train set for his birthday! He also got some Legos and a remote control car. And Uncle Nick gave him some pirate gold ($10 in gold dollar coins). Carter asked if Uncle Nick really got the gold dollars from pirates.
This is Carter's chocolate explosion cake. Carter is a boy after his mother's heart, he asked for chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate ice cream, ahh a little bit of heaven if I do say so. The cake had a mind of its own so it became the chocolate explosion cake.

We are so proud of this little boy. He has grown up so much this year. Carter has loved kindergarten this year and has done so well. Carter is one tough kid and does not let life's challenges get him down. One year ago Carter started having problems with his eyes and had to go through 4 surgeries in 2 months. Carter still cannot see out of his eye that the retina detached in but he just accepts it and moves on.
Carter was talking to me the other day about when he lost his sight. It makes Mom a little emotional still but Carter is just very matter of fact about it. When his retina detached the last time it really did happen overnight and when Carter woke up he was blind out of that eye. He was telling me that he woke up that morning and said to himself "Am I blind?" Then he told me, "Jesus said to me yes you are, and I said OK." Oh sweet little boy, to hear the spirit talk to you and to just accept it without any question or complaint. Carter really teaches us so much. Happy Birthday sweet boy, we love you so much!!!!
