Weekend fun

Game time at the Carlson house!

Duplo lego tower built by Daddy and older boys. Yes, it reached the ceiling!

Big boy helper

We have a big boy helper in training at our house. Levi has started to help unload the dishwasher. He watches the older boys do it and then he wants to be right there helping as well. Mommy doesn't mind training them young!

Levi is 1!

Our little man has turned 1! It is crazy how fast time goes. We had a fun time celebrating on his birthday and also the weekend before with a shared party with Ethan. He is such a smiley happy little guy and we love him so much. What a blessing he is in our lives.

 Birthday morning pancake. There was a candle but not while on his tray. He grabbed at it and Mommy quickly moved it. After we sang the older ones helped him blown the candle out.

 Opening presents. He had lots of help and he liked the paper best.

 His own cake...

 ...and he loved it!

It was then off to the bath to wash all the blue off.

Ethan is 6!

Our oldest son has turned 6! Where oh where does the time go? We had fun celebrating on his birthday and then a week later a shared birthday weekend with Levi. He is such a blessing in our lives and such a grown up boy. He loves school, legos and his brothers. We are blessed to call him our son and see how God is at work in his life.

Snow fun

We got enough snow two weeks ago to actually enjoy our snow toys. It is mostly gone again but we had fun in the snow and sun while we could.

 Ethan building an igloo. The snow wasn't the right kind so it sort of worked but not really.

 Levi and Daddy trying out the big snow hill. No we didn't let him go alone. Daddy held him the whole way down. =) This is Levi's first snow experience. He sat well in the sled and also enjoyed licking the snow off his gloves.
