Toddler Wins Third Place in Local Fishing Tournament!

Carter participated in a fishing tournament on Sunday and came in third place in his age group (1-6yrs). He used his Spiderman fishing pole to catch his first catfish on his own.... well, maybe just a little help from his Uncle Donnie and Aunt Desiree. The winners received a certificate and a plaque as well as a small toy. When he brought home his awards, it almost made his Mommy cry! As you can see, it was a beautiful day and a tradition we hope to maintain for years to come. Our love to all!

Six Weeks and Counting!

It is hard to believe that my second pregnancy is almost over. I am doing very well but I am tiring easily. We have decided on a name for our second son which will be Brady William Cook. Having a name picked out makes it seem so real and we are able to talk to Carter about his brother using his name. I have gained about 30 pounds throughout this pregnancy and my doctor's appointments are going well. On July 2nd I will be having an ultrasound so that the doctor can get a good idea of his size. She also spoke of induction but that is something I want to think seriously about. Carter came on his own and I would like for Brady to as well. I have a pretty good idea that Brady will be very long in size because when he kicks, I feel him on both sides of my belly. We have started to prepare by purchasing furniture for a new baby room. Carter will be transitioning to a "big boy bed" and we are beginning to work on potty training. I am now out of school and enjoying being a stay at home mom. Jim and I want to get away for a short weekend in Gatlinburg before our family becomes four! I promise to keep everyone updated and thanks for checking in! Our love to all!
