Carson turns 7!

Carson turned 7 on Friday, the 15th! It is hard to believe we have a 7 year old now! We had a great day, even though he had to go to school. I took him McDonald's for lunch and ate with him - I'm going to take advantage of these years that he asks me to come eat with him at school because I know that won't last long! That evening we opened presents and went to eat dinner wherever Carson chose. He chose Taco Bell - he loves their tacos. Here is our boy on his big birthday...





Callahan is already getting a little jealous of the baby, I think. Lately when I take a picture with him or he sits with me, he wants me to hold him like a baby. Uh oh!





Carson got a magnetic dart board from Mimi and Papa - he loves it!



Wade and the boys had more fun throwing around the popcorn packaging from Mimi and Papa's gift than anything else! They were throwing it around like confetti. Thankfully Callahan does NOT like messes and so later on after we finished opening presents, I went back into the den and saw him cleaning up all of it. He said "Daddy made a big mess!"


We got Carson a castle for his birthday. Can you tell the excitement when they saw it in the picture?? They were both jumping up and down and screaming for joy! Callahan thought all the presents were for him too. He ran over to Wade and I both after he saw this and gave us each a big hug around our legs and said "thank you!!!".




Yesterday, we took Carson and 3 of his little friends (two from school now and one from preschool) along with another friend from school (his parents brought him) to a family fun place here called Fast Lane. It's got Laser Tag, bowling, arcades, and indoor go carts. It is a really fun place! But let me tell you, Wade and I were both reaching for the Tylenol when we got home....lots of fun, but very stimulating!!

The boys got to ride indoor go carts....that was a first for most of them since Fast Lane is a new place here in NW Arkansas.



The boys playing a really cool Nascar racing game. We had 5 boys, but thankfully, one boy did not want to play this - good thing since there were only 4 cars!



We had never seen this cool metal ball thing (have no idea what the name of it is) that little ones can use to help roll their ball. It was a lifesaver for Callahan because on his first bowl, it took about 2 minutes for the ball to make it down to the pins. Then we discovered this cool thing which worked wonders!




We love chocolate cupcakes!




Callahan giving Wade a high-five. He had a lot of fun too!
