6th Party

Carter sure did enjoy his 6th Birthday Party!  He requested a soccer ball cake, so I was pretty excited to make it happen for him!  The Friday before his birthday, he was very surprised when he answered the door to see Jason, Steffany, and Elias standing there!  He just loves these guys so much, and it was a blessing that we got to celebrate with them.  This is the main reason living in Montana has been so amazing!

On Saturday, he woke up and decided he wanted to open all his presents up.  He got some awesome gifts!  After that we took the boys to play laser tag while Steffany and I played games with the little kids.  The boys came out of the laser tag sweating and with big smiles on their faces.  

After the little kids took naps, we had cake and then went out to dinner.  Carter requested ribs, which are his all time favorite food.  That boy can pack in the ribs!  

Thank you so much to Jason and Steffany for making the trip over to celebrate with Carter.  It meant so much to him, and allowed him to have a buddy to help put together his new Lord of the Rings Lego set!

6 years

Dear Carter,

Happy Birthday to my little man!  I can not believe you are already 6 years old!!!  It seems like just yesterday I held you in my arms and looked into your sweet eyes for the very first time.  People have told me to enjoy your kids while they are little because pretty soon they will be all grown up. Boy are they right!  Six years have flown by!

You started kindergarden this year and the amount of stuff you learn each day is so amazing!  One of your favorite parts of the day is when you and Daddy curl up in bed and you get to read to your Daddy.  You have finished all three sets of the BOB books, and are now getting to read any book you choose.  The first one you choose was One Fish Two Fish.  Your math skills are also pretty impressive.  You came up to me the other day and said "Hey Mom, what's 7 minus 12?  It's -5."

You are also an amazing big brother Carter!  You like to take Addison when she is crying and plop her in her swing.  The best part about it, is she usually will stop crying for you!  You love to chase and play with Kinley.  I can only hope that the relationship you have with your sisters will just keep getting better and better.

You say at recess every day you always go and play soccor.  You love to practice kicking around the ball at home and are hoping to get on a team this spring.  

I love you Carter Joseph!!  You are an amazing little man that makes every day better and better!!  Xoxoxo

Love, Mommy
