-BEST BUDS-

Karter idolizes his Uncle Kole. They have so much fun together and have a very special relationship. Karter was the kind of baby that wouldn't go to anyone other than Kris and I. He would just cry and cry and he hated being around a lot of people. It was pretty rough on Kris and I. We couldn't leave him with him a babysitter, not even someone from our own family. Karter didn't meet his Uncle Kole until he was about 10 months old. (Kole is in the National Guard and was deployed at the time.) Kris's entire family was there to welcome Kole home and we were nervous how Karter would react. Well......it was perfect. He went straight onto his arms and fell asleep on his shoulder and Kole just carried him around......PRICELESS!!! And the rest is history. Kole is one awesome uncle, not just to Karter, but to all of his nieces and nephews:) Unfortunetly, Kole is being deployed again and we hate seeing him go. But we just want him to know how much we love him and how proud we are of him as a brother,son, uncle, father,husband and soldier!!!! Oh and as Karter's BEST BUD!!!! WE LOVE YOU KOLE:)
