OUR BABY BOY ----IS A BABY NO MORE

.Carson turned 6 today and what a fun day it was. For those of you that have experienced life at the Chucky Cheese---what could be better??? The kids ate crappy pizza, licked the waxy frosting off Safeway cake, collected 250 tickets to purchase minature blow plops, junky race cars, plastic rings, etc. etc and danced the with the Man himself (Chucky) for an afternoon of complete bliss. A parent's worst nightmare but a child's dream come true
Carson got a new bike from grandma and grandpa and endless action figures. Ray and I really enjoyed watching him have so much fun with his "posse" of friends that have literally grown up together. It brings tears to my eyes to know that next year it will be a new set of friends in a new city, a new home altogether. The realization that we are leaving the world as we know it is beginning to set in and we are purposefully trying to enjoy the here and now--- "freeze time" as Ray would say. How many times do we catch ourselves saying, "how fast time flies" and there are not truer words for us today.







It's hard to believe that its has been six years now since Carson joined our family. We are forever grateful to a sweet girl who loved him enough to share him with us. He is the "life" of our party with an infectious laugh and a heart the size of a giant. He is daddy's little helper, mommy's best friend and snuggle bug, a great big brother to Addy, a playmate to Livvy and a fellow lego guru for Alec. We can honestly say he was so needed in this family to make us all take life a little less seriously. Happy Birthday baby boy----:) We love you Carson!!!
