Carson turns 5!

Carson turned five today and he had one request - breakfast in bed. Of course I did what he asked and served him breakfast in bed, on a tray. He said he would like breakfast in bed every birthday from now until he's 13. He later changed the age to 9. Whew, only 4 more years!

The rest of the day - the week actually, was a whirlwind of activity. He has a few friends with birthdays very close to his (Beck and Luke being on the same day) so we've been partying for a while. Carson Adams had a bike party, Beck had a super hero party, and Luke had a party at Monkey Treehouse. Carson's party (Carson Winn that is) had a robot party. We are partied out for at least a week!

The Three Birthday Boys - Beck, Luke, and Carson - all 5 years old today!

A ONEderful day!

Hadley turned ONE earlier this month and we celebrated her birthday with lots of pink and green. It was a day very fitting for our little princess! The inspiration for the party theme came from Jason's sister Jill (or Jiji as the kids call her). She had the great idea to monogram this tablecloth and the ideas just flowed from there. (Yes, I do realize it's a little wrinkled!)

My good friend and photographer, Paul Rinkes, captured the party so perfectly for us. We truly wouldn't have the memories we do if it wasn't for Paul. Thank you Paul for shooting Hadley's special day, you are a GREAT friend! If you are in the Nashville/Franklin area, check out Paul's website, Rinkes Photography here.

August Recap:

NO MORE TRAINING WHEELS

One afternoon Carson just decided he didn't need training wheels anymore so off they came. He only tried a few times and he picked it right up. This video shows it all. What a big boy! Congratulations Carson, not even 5 and no more training wheels.

LAST CAN OF BABY FORMULA

Seriously, where does the time go? It truly seems like yesterday that little Hadley was born and now I'm posting about the last can of baby formula. Kinda sad. Milk, here we come...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM

We had a wonderful family dinner at Teddy & Tera's new house to celebrate my Mom's Birthday. Carson and Hadley love spending time with their BB, we love you Mom!

JEN'S 40th BIRTHDAY

Wow! I never knew planning a surprise birthday party could be so stressful. The lying alone will just about kill you. My bestie, Jennifer Beck (aka "the other Carson's Mom") turned 40 in late August so her husband Brad and I surprised her with a party almost a week before her birthday. The party was at her house so I think she really was surprised! It was a fun night celebrating with Jen and those she loves most including two good friends from Atlanta. I actually left the party super early because I was so tired from all the planning/organizing. Happy Birthday Jen, love ya! Can't wait until we turn 50!
