My Seven Year Old

This little boy has been SUCH a fun part of our lives.  He is good hearted, stinking persistent, quick to learn, huge social bug, and one giant happy goof ball.  Oh we love Carson so much!

He was so excited to turn 7 :)

 A little about him.  He LOVES to serve and help out.  One Saturday morning, I was taking my time getting out of bed.  I heard some rustling in the kitchen but didn't pay too much attention to it until I noticed the length of bustle going on.  So I came in to check.  There was Carson, getting breakfast ready for everyone.  Total, melt my heart moment.  I'm not a fan of what he made, but I'm a total fan of his sweet intention

Another thing I love is his attention to detail when he's drawing.  And when he starts something, he's completely focused until it's done.  He hardly notices anything around him as he works on his drawing and coloring.  When he brought this picture home from school I had to pin it up on his board.  All the detail and patterned color!  I wonder how long it took him??

This was his first year in soccer also, and his teamed rocked the field.  Undefeated and crazy bunch of boys.  I can't wait til spring to watch them again :)

For his birthday he requested a Seahawk Party.  What a party!  Having a houseful of 6-7 year old boys was wild but a complete blast.  Of course when everyone gets there, they hit the tramp.  Only a few bruises happened with everyone on there ;)

We told the boys to dress up in Seahawk attire.  I couldn't help but take a pic of their festive get up as they ate their nacho plates

After presents we sang and ate our football ice cream sandwiches

THEN we got ready for the big game.  Glow in the dark football!!  Jeremy taped some glow sticks to a football, gave each glow bracelets, and put black stickers on their cheeks like real players to make them look tough ;)  Then outside they went!  That's when we got some real bruises, whoops! ;)

Before:  Carson had lost a tooth a week earlier... but then the football game happened.

And he lost another!!  Funny thing was, he caught the ball that hit him in the face AND his tooth that popped out at the same time!  LOL.  He was all smiles :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARSON!  WE LOVE YOU!
