Happy 5th Birthday Carson!

It wasn't the year for Carson to have a "friend party", but I thought with the new baby here it would be good for him to feel special and have a party with all his buddies. I kept it very simple though. We went to Jump Highway (trampoline park) and they had a lot of fun.

Yearly Update:

My boy is five! I feel like I am officially old now because I have a five-year-old. Carson is a joy to parent. He keeps us on our toes, that’s for sure. He is non-stop talking and asking questions now-a-days. He is so curious and interested in the world around him. He is working hard in his transitional kindergarten class. He enjoys learning and growing. He can count to 14 and can identify about half the letters/sounds of those letters of the alphabet. He is continuing to improve on his speech. We can understand most of what he says and are SO PROUD OF HIM! His fine and gross motor skills are improving too. He holds his pencil correctly (left handed like his Mama I might add) and can write his own name. His teacher says he is a natural leader and all the other little boys want to play with him and try to impress him. He can be very silly during rug-time and has a “hard time sitting criss-cross apple sauce.” Not surprising…

Carson is the SWEETEST big brother to baby Kendall. He loves to hold her and keep her happy. He kisses her at least 50 times a day. =) He is a good helper with Kendall. Bringing Mom diapers and protecting her from Luke. Carson loves to play with his little brother too and is very patient while Luke is going through the terrible twos.

Right now he loves: Curious George, Ninjago, playing games on his Leapster and on Mom and Dad’s tablets, swimming, wrestling, playdates with friends, popcorn, fishing (which he’s never actually done), and going out of the boat.


How we love this boy and are so grateful he came to our family. His siblings couldn’t have asked for a better big brother and we couldn’t have asked for a better son. Happy birthday Carson, we love you!
