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.

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,

i hope i wont always be sad when i look at all these pictures, i miss being there terribly.  it certainly was some of the best 10 days of my life,  to spend it on the beach in paradise, with all of my family, was priceless.
