Well Im not sure when, but it finally happened...Carson has turned 4! It seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital....then again we have done that alot in his life so I guess thats why it feels like that haha! We werent going to have anything big but then we found out we were babysitting Tarons nieces and nephew, one of which shares a birthday with Carson so we decided to have a BBQ for them. Well we had chicken sandwhiches and salad followed by cake! Half boy candles for Carson and half girl candles for Kymmie. Carsons candle in the front kept relighting itself like 3 times, he thought that was so funny!
I love this picture of Gavin, It reminded Taron and I of those sponor a child pictures, so..... For less than $1.00 a day you can bring a smile to the face of this child clean water, food, and oppurtunity. You will recieve hand written letters and pictures from your child, HEHE!
Here they are Trevor, Gavin, Kymmie, Carson and Tienna.
The kids loved the cake!
Carson got brand new shoes from Grandma Patty! At first he said I dont want this present because it wasnt wrapped but when he opened it he gasped and said how cool they were.
He also got clothes, coloring books, books, crayons, some monies (as he says) but his favorites are his swords and shields set and his movies. Everyone was so sweet to him and he really loves all his presents!
Kymmie, Trevor and Ashley made Carson this cute sign, Happy Birthday little buddy!
I wanted to write some things down about Carson, he is such an amazing kid! He is my little buddy, little dude, duder, Cars, Jace, Jacer, and some other random nick names. He is an amazing big brother and even though he likes to make Gavin react by taking his blankie or toy he absolutely adores his little brother. He is becoming so good at tumbling he recently learned to do a front flip over the bar all by himself! He also does summersaults, cartwheels, horsey kicks, all kinds of jumps, mat work, and springboard stuff! He is getting more comfortable in the water and we are able to get him to swim without us holding him sometimes. He is the silly boy, always trying to make you laugh. He loves LOVES music and can name many songs within a few notes, knows the words, and sometimes the name of the artist. He really likes Green Day, Bruno Mars, Lifehouse, Conway twitty, Alabama, and all his Primary songs and many many many more! Its amazing how good he is with lyrics and songs. He is a talker and if I let him he will tak to me you and everyone else for hours on end. He loves his daddy, definitely a daddys boy! He loves movies and playing with his friends Eli and Ronin. I am so thankful everyday to get the chance to be his mommy and be in his life, watching him grow and learn is the best! He is a blonde haired blue eyed charmer with some seriously sweaty and stinky feet! He is 41 and 3/8 inches tall, thats the 75% and 34.6lb which is in the 50%. He LOVES Lagoon and visiting his grandparents. I am so proud of this little guy, he has been through a TON of stuff and he handles it so well. He amazes me everyday! Happy 4th Birthday little dude, I love ya!
As soon as Carson saw this outside the monkey house he was in LOVE I think he stopped at everyone and had a drink!
As usual Gavin was right there ready for his turn!
They added new horses and the boys loved the ride!
This was so fun because the weather was perfect and the animals were all right at the window interacting with people and very active!
They have some very interesting new signs at the Zoo but this was my favorite!
We decided to stick with the pretend tigers after we read that sign!
We had to get this picture, who doesnt have at least one of these pics of their kids!
After we looked at the animals we had cupcakes, we went to Walmart to get the cupcakes and they didnt have any boys ones so the lady asked Gavin his favorite color and he said green, then what he likes and he said cars. She made him green frosted cupcakes with orange frosing inside and cars on top, it was great!
and as you can tell they tasted SO GOOD!
Gavin was not as interested in opening his presents as he was in the train going by, Carson on the other hand could barely wait for Gavin to get them open! He got a Thomas the train and a new trainset, the first in our house!
Then of coarse we rode the train, both the boys had a blast and Im so glad we chose to do this for him instead of a party, it was the best! 
Gavin had his 2 year appointment and at 20 months he was still not on the weight chart but at his 24 month he was in the 8th percent, thats the first time EVER in his life he has been that high! He is 23 pounds 14.58 ounces. He is 34 1/4 inches tall and thats the 45% also the highest he has ever been. It was so great to see how excited EVERYONE in the office was when they found out how great he was doing, we also returned a fixture that has been in our house since he was 8 months old and that was the old medical scale we had to have to weigh him weekly at home. WHEW! It seems this is all over! Carson got his Kindergarten shots the same day and later had a rash all over his head and neck, they said it happens with the MMR, it looked like a measels rash, that was creepy!
Carson threw 4 balls and was so close to hitting the target I was impressed, then we ran up and pushed the button and he fell in, the splash was so big me and Carson got soaked also! 
Then we watched a movie while waiting for the fireworks.
Since Carson had surgery on his ears the week before they were still sensitive so I put some ear plugs in and he fell asleep.
I decided to try earplugs on Gavin also and within minutes of putting them in he fell asleep also.
Earlier in the week we had been watching fireworks with friends when one of the 150ft ones tipped over and shot at the people watching. Carson was hit in the face and clothes but wasnt burned, Me and Taron had burns on our clothes but Gavin got some hair singed off in the shape of a circle.
and he got a 2nd degree burn on his leg, this pic is after it started healing, it left a little scar but luckily no one was seriously injured, the boys are really scared of fireworks now so I am REALLY glad they are over for this year!
It was a fun 4th of July!
