HAPPY THURSDAY!!

....ending up in matching clothes with my little lady, totally unplanned, makes for a fun way to spend this Thursday of spring break!! :-)

Happy Thursday!!!!

Celebrating Karson's 5th!!

2-22-13: Karson turned 5!!  Sooo hard to believe!!!  He is sweeter than honey and loved beyond measure!! 

Starting the morning off with birthday pancakes!!

Taking birthday treats to share with his class.  His choice:  camo plates and napkins to go along with his cupcakes, drinks, and treat bags!!

A family party that evening along  with Gr.& Gr. Englund, Great Gr. Englund.

I think Khara, Kelsey, and Kaden were just as happy as he was for him to open up a Nintendo DS. :-)

Karson was thrilled to get a cowboy hat from Gr. & Gr. Englund!!   He put it to use immediately!!

 After Karson finished with his gifts, Kaden got to open an early present from Gr. and Gr. Englund.  Another happy boy... he got a cowboy hat, too!!! They have loads of fun with these!!

Birthday mail gifts from Gr. and Gr. Burley!!  He can't wait to catch something to put in that little cage!!

More presents from Aaron and Brenda.

Happy 5th Birthday, Karson!!!

Happy Heart Day 2013

I just love the fun and sweetness that Valentines Day brings!!  Lots of joyful happenings:

Karson and Kelsey had to make Valentine boxes at home.  Karson made a rocket, Kelsey a suitcase.

Kelsey made these cute little watches for her class.

Passing out his cards and treats.

Pretty happy with  all that candy that came tumbling out of his rocket!!!!!!!

We played a few Valentine games at home that I had ready for Kelsey's class.  They look pretty intent in these pictures but they really did enjoy them!! ;-)
