Carson is 4!

My baby turned 4 today! There is nothing like your child's birthday to make you feel a little bit old, is there? I cannot believe that he has been in our lives 4 whole years now. Our world would be empty without him. What a blessing he is (unless we are at the grocery store, but that's a whole nother issue!)

These pics are from his party. We took him and a few friends to Jump Zone, which has a ton of those huge inflatable bounce house thingys, and let them loose. Then we went back to the church building for cake and ice cream, and let the kids play outside. They had a ball!



This goofy pic is his face pressed up against the mesh side wall. Ain't he handsome!

Here he comes down the slide!


This is him climbing up the stairs. Sorry I don't know how to turn the pic!

Here he is helping decorate his cake. He wanted a Diego cake, so we frosted it with chocolate to look like dirt, and added the sprinkles to look like grass.

He really liked this part of the decorating!

Here he is blowing out the candles!


This is a picture of his Diego cake. He told me when we were making it, "Mommy, this is the best birthday cake ever!" It doesn't get much sweeter than that.


Some pics of the bouncy house place-it was sooo cool!




These final two are of the kids playing outside at church. In his Diego goodybags, we put mini magnifying glasses, telescopes, and these really obnoxious whistles! They had a great time using them to find bugs outside! Carson told us that he was using his whistle to call the bugs! In my opinion, the only thing that whistle did was frighten dogs!
