kenzie

So this is a blog for our poor little mistreated sue muffin. She gets chased, cornered, pinned, hit, and ignored pretty much everyday... I love her so much but I do feel a little sorry for her. So tonight Laken, who has very good aim, managed to in a span of 5 min throw the ball directly into Coltons drink and knock it over. Then pick up the ball and nail Kenzie on the turn around. Yes he was aiming for her... oh us girls surrounded by boys.

change!

So in case you didn't already know, we have sold our house, bought another, and plan to close Aug 1st. I am soooo excited!!!! The new house is more than double our house now with a big backyard and space to spread out. 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths! It is a 2 story house in Frenship school district. And to make a dream even better Colton is building me a porch swing because I have always wanted one but we never had space but now we do and that is the first thing I will put up. You can find me in our backyard, under the deck, sipping tea, watching the boys play, on my new porch swing!!!! Yay for change!

sweet babies!!

I have the sweetest boys in the whole world. Tonight Caleb put laken on the couch and covered him up and then covered my belly up and said keep baby  Kai warm. He's cold. Such a sweet big brother. I love hanging out with my boys. Then when I was tucking the boys into bed, Caleb looked up at me and said mommy your amazing! I am so blessed!!!!

Fourth of July Fun and Shannon's Adoption Party!!!

This was the first time that my kids have gotten to do fireworks and they loved it!!! Last year we had a burn ban and the year before we only had a bug man and he was too small to enjoy it so this was a special fourth for us! We also had a party with a bunch of our friends to celebrate the adoption of Shannon. Very special day at the Carthel house! Here is my cheesin Laken man!

 Brayden and Shannon about to blow out their happy adoption day candle!

 Brayden getting the pinata!

 Shannon's turn!

 yay Bug!

 And to end the night we did some fireworks at home!!! What a fun day! Happy fourth everyone!!!!

Well my bug man turned 3... I can't believe it. Where does the time go? He is getting so big, and smart and I can't believe the joy, laughter, blessings and fun he has brought into our lives over the past 3 years. Honestly I can't remember my life without him in it! I love you my sweet precious Caleb and am so glad God called ME to be your mommy!!! Happy Birthday!

 Colton's cousin Memori let us use her stunning backyard to pool party it up and it couldn't have looked any prettier!

 The only boy in our family that likes pictures or poses for pictures is Laken. SO that is why I have so many good pictures of him and Caleb is never looking at the camera...

 Thank you soooo very much to everyone who came! It meant so much to Caleb to be surrounded by his family and friends on a special day!

 Yes I made a yo gabba gabba punch and Caleb loved it and it was delicious!

 Colton thought he was funny eating Caleb's face off the cake.

 This wasn't all the kids that were there.. unfortunately I forgot to get one before everyone had left but here are some of Caleb's friends who came to celebrate with him!!!!

 After all the kids left we stayed and had a cookout with the family and the adults played volleyball. We weren't keeping score or anything but my team KILLED the other team ;)

What a fun day that I will never forget! I can't believe my baby is 3 and can't wait to spend every single birthday with him for the rest of his long and fruitful life. I love you Caleb Ray Carthel and without you my life would not be as happy and blessed as it is now!!!xoxoxoxoxo
