carson turns 7

carson’s birthday was on a sunday this year. unfortunately morgan and i were in boise that weekend for a volleyball tournament, so i had to leave aaron home with the boys with a few assignments.  he was to take carson to pick out a cake, and to take care of some presents.

the birthday boy, with birthday pancakes

   

grandma and grandpa williamson gave him a fishing pole

 

     

  grandma and grandpa lowry gave him an airplane lego set that he had been begging for.  

  

and his dad picked him out this sweet bike.  he was really needing a new one, his old one was way too small.

 

happy birthday carson!!

paige and volleyball

paige was old enough this year to do her first year of club volleyball.  we were so excited that one of our favorite neighbors was able to be her coach.  she had a great time and by the end of the season was pretty good at her serving. it was fun to spend the day with her and watch her improve each time,
