Mom I have Speed Bumps!

Today we took a trip to Costco! We got all of the groceries and we sat down to eat a famous Costco hot dog! Carson was sitting across the table from me and he said, "Mom I am cold!" He asked to use Tessa's blanket and wrapped it around himself. He then asked me "Why do I have bumps on my arms and legs?" I then explained to him that those are goose bumps and that is the way your skin reacts to cold. After sitting there a little while longer, he said to me, "Mom I wish my speed bumps would go away!!" I laughed out loud and I think everyone in the food court was wondering what was so funny! He is so full of it! I love some of the things he comes up with. Although, sometimes when he asks question that are followed by "but WHY?" I have to be honest that I want to climb a tree and hide!

Happy Happy Birthdays

It is that time of year again! Carson started the birthday celebrations on March 29th. He turned 5 years old! It is hard for me to believe that he is five. He is so sweet and such a joy to have in our family. He will start Kindergarten in Aug. CRAZY! Next, we have Kara's Birthday! She turned 7 on April 4th. She is getting so big. She is such a help to me and loves to hold Tessa! She is an awesome big sister! We went to Gilligan's Island at the Queen Creek Performing Arts Center with a group of her friends and siblings. It was so fun. Today is Conner's birthday! He is 10 today! I can't believe that he is in double digits. He is also such a joy to have in our family. He is always willing to help and has such a sweet spirit. Shane & I are so lucky to have wonderful kids who love each other and are happy and might I add sometimes stubborn! They do keep us busy but we would not want it any other way! We hope that they all have wonderful birthdays and are so glad that they chose to come to our home!
