Ripstikin', Bikin' and Hill Climbin'

All three boys were out front Friday night.  Clay is riding a RipStik  some strange combination between a skateboard and roller blades.  Carson is riding his bike chasing Clay down and trying to run him over while Cooper decided to do a little hill climbing  but didn't get too high.

Happy 4th Birthday Carson!

Carson celebrated his 4th birthday Friday with his friends from church and the neighborhood. Papa Lindsay's gift was a pool and it was a big hit at the party on steamy Friday evening. Dwight and Amy Rhine came with Kayeigh and Derek. Greg and Julie Bakke from next door brought Gunnar and Hannah, and Sherry from up the street brought her 2 boys, Willem and Theo. Unfortunately her husband, Bruno, was on a business trip.

Here is Carson opening his presents, some new books, from Willem.

Hannah and Gunnar had a great time at the party!

Kayleigh and Derek were all smiles! (Could it be the plate of Double Stuff Oreos in front of the them?)

Cooper did his best imitation of his father and sat back and enjoyed the festivities!

Thanks to everyone for making Carson's birthday party so special!
