Pre-Party just chillin' under the umbrella...

In lieu of gifts I asked invitees to bring $5 for a donation to the Make a Wish Foundation...at first Carson wasn't so sure about the idea but after everyone left and we counted all the money ($65) and talked about how we were going to go up to Primary's and give it to the kids he was pretty excited. We are going to go next week, when I get home, if anyone would like to join us!

I had this big stuffed great white shark sitting at the bar when he came down for breakfast - he loved it! Crew took one look at it and started crying and wouldn't stop!

Carson really is just such an amazing child. I LOVE him with my whole heart - every bit and piece. He is kind, giving, caring, LOVING, affectionate, truly loyal, FUN, SUPER Athletic, an amazing BIG BROTHER, he understands things beyond his years (an old soul), I LOVE him! The day he was born my life changed for the rest of my life...I didn't know the power of love until you were born. I hope I can be a great example in your life and someone you will be proud of because you sure make me proud EVERY single day.

Soccer Season has begun...

Other team made a goal - shoot

but that is okay because Carson scored like 15 more:)
We had some older boys visiting our neighbors for about 2 weeks that schooled Carson in soccer. He seriously has improved 10 fold from this spring.
He WAS afraid of the ball but not now!

Father's Day

I bought him some Gladiolas but I don't think he noticed them ;}

Thanks for being such an awesome Dad!
Carson loves the time you spend with him every night playing hockey, making malts, watching sports reruns, and just being a solid loving force in his life.
Camden just loves to lay on you...
and Crew doesn't know it yet but you will be his idol.
Thanks so much for being a role model for our kids...
for providing, loving, and just spending time with our kids.
We love you so much!
Now get your butt home from CHINA.

Toy Story 3 Party

We reserved seats and took the older kids to Toy Story 3! Carson loved it but Camden just can't sit still that long. Then, we came home for pizza, cupcakes and the new Toy Story Wii game. It was fun - thanks for coming!
