Carson's birthday and more

Carson turned 9 on January 15th, just a few weeks ago.  It was the first birthday where he got more money and clothes, which was weird!   He did get a new bike that he loves and a Razor Big Wheel from Pappy and Nana, like the one Cal got for Christmas (which is good since Carson rides Cal's all the time!).  He had a great day and we just enjoyed being a family.  It was on a Sunday so we went to church, then let Carson pick the restaurant we would eat lunch at...so he picked Red Robin.  Then we came home, opened presents, rode bikes, and then that night we went to Braums for ice cream.  We are going to have a sleep over in a few weeks once we finish having some work on our house completed.   I'm a little nervous about that one...5-7 nine year old boys running around sounds a little chaotic, but I'm gearing up for it!

 I love this picture...shows them having fun with each other and being silly as always!
