Carson turns Five!

It is hard to believe that my firstborn turned FIVE on August 7th. Carson is such a sweet and loving boy and I am so blessed to be his mommy. I really enjoy watching his ever-evolving personality develop. At the moment, he loves (in no particular order): butterflies, grasshoppers, transformers, going to church, tinker toys, and his little brother. He does not particularly care for putting his head under the water at the pool or taking baths (don't worry...we make sure he does the latter).

We opted out of a birthday party this year and instead decided to take Carson to Stone Mountain (again) to do the "ride the ducks" tour (one of those amphibious vehicles that can go on land and in the water). He was excited that cousin Cali and his friend, Charley, were able to join him for the fun. I also attempted to make cupcake cones for his birthday (major pinterest fail) -- he did have fun icing and decorating them so not a total bust.

Medieval Times

We were glad to have Charles parents in town to visit the last week of  July. Grandma is a professional baby rocker and loved cuddling with Timothy. Grandpa and Carson are "early bird buddies." We decided to take Cletus and Betty to Medieval Times to celebrate Cletus' birthday. I am not a huge fan of eating with my hands but we had a good time anyway. Carson was enthralled by the horses and jousting. Timothy was a good sport too and I think just liked being somewhere other than home.
