Carson is 5!

Carson turned 5 this past weekend and we enjoyed a family party for Opa (Brian's dad) and Carson since their birthdays are just 2 days apart.  The kids have been enjoying the warm weather the last couple of weeks, going to the zoo, playing mini-golf, jumping in leaf piles... and then today it snowed!  It looks like it will be in the 60s by next week again so we just enjoy each day as it comes!

*here are the kids, up at 5:45am on Carson's birthday ready to open presents... like it was Christmas! :)

Estes Park

Brian and Carson went with a friend and his little boy up to Estes Park for the weekend. They stayed at the YMCA cabins and had a great time!  Hot chocolate, mini golf, waffles & s'mores for breakfast, and going fishing were a few of the things they enjoyed.  They even saw some wildlife! (look back by the cabin in the picture of Carson & Brian)  Aliana & I enjoyed a girls weekend - playdate with some friends at the rec. center, organizing closets & cupboards (Ali was actually an awesome help), watching a ton of Dora, going to the library, playing babies, going for a bike ride in our church clothes, and having a sleepover in mommy & daddy's bed :) What a fun weekend!
