...and along came Carsen!

Today is Carsen's 10th birthday, and thus continues the continuous May birthday party. Carsen was born 1 year and 6 days after Kobe. We were living in Cedar at the time and had just returned from a trip up here to find an apartment. We got home just in time to go watch Ron play a rec basketball game. I don't remember specifically when the labor started, but I thought it was just Braxton-Hicks considering our due date to be 6 weeks away. The next day Carsen was born. Weighing in at 6lbs and 14 oz. I think that he came out smiling and hasn't stopped since... He has been by far our friendliest child. He is spontanious, impulsive, entertaining, smart, handsome, inquisitive and caring. He spoke very early and very well, in complete sentences. One of my favorite things he ever said was in reference to me asking "How do you remember that?" He replied "Mom, my mind is like a picture taker." He doesn't miss, or forget much. He loves to read, play football, swim (you should see him dive!), and be with his friends and family. Carsen keeps me learning, smiling and loving everyday.
Happy Birthday Carsen!!

Happy Birthday Kobe!

*new bike*


Kobe is 11 today, aaahhhh! I know is sound so cliche, but where did the time go? Kobe is and has always been my tender hearted, obedient, patient, loving, intelligent boy. And now he is turning into all of that and more as a young man. He truly amazes me, and I love him tons! He loves animals, computer games, swimming, friends and drawing. He is training to compete in a triathlon and loves it. He looks forward to scouts each week and is growing in the gospel whether he likes it or not... I'd love to have kept him 3 forever, but I can't wait to know the amazing man that he is going to be. We love you Kobe!!!

Cutest kids!
