Carson turns 4!!

Is it just me, or is life flying by way to fast? How can it be possible that Carson will start school in just one year? That's right! Carson turned 4 years old on March 30th. He has officially left the baby years. He's a Sunbeam, computer pro, cell phone pro, ipod pro, and learning how to ski and ride a bike. He's just about the most adorable kid on the planet, but don't let those sweet blue eyes fool you. He has quite a stubborn streak and mind of his own. Grandpa Luke says that those qualities are going to make him very successful someday, so I remind myself of that daily when I'm knocking myself out trying to get him to eat anything other than his three standbys: peanut butter sandwiches, pizza, or chicken nuggets. Amazingly, he is growing with the little nutrition he takes in, and he's getting smarter each day too! He is very passionate about the alphabet. Everything he sees, he asks me what letter it starts with and wants me to take a picture of it for his alphabet book. Carson always has some portion of a costume on which magically transports him to a world of his own. He is often seen punching and kicking some invisible being with amazing sound effects. He also loves super heroes, Star Wars, playing with his brother Kyler, and playing a morning video game with his Daddy before Dad heads off to work. Carson's endless energy and huge imagination adds so much adventure to our home.

Carson didn't have the most exciting birthday this year because Justin and I were both hit hard by the stomach flu. By taking shifts, we somehow managed to make Carson breakfast in bed and a cake... but it was tough! Thank goodness he had some new toys to keep him busy all day because Mom and Dad were no fun! We'll make it up to you next year buddy! We love you!

I love this photo! Carson (Darth Vader) is strangling Ky (a Clone Trooper) by using "the Force!" It's really amazing what three sons can do for a mom who grew up with all sisters. I know way too much about Star Wars considering I've never even watched it! I have to admit, little boys are a lot of fun!
