Birthday Boy!

We celebrated Carson's sixth birthday at the end of January. Man, the years are really flying by, I can't believe my first baby is already six, what gets me is he'll be baptized in two years! AH! I really want time to slowww down, but we sure are enjoying watching him grow, learn and love these years when they're still small.

Carson requested that we go bowling for his birthday. So we invited a few of his best buddies and went bowling, Carson took second place. Afterwards we headed back to our place for a pizza party, present opening and cake/ice cream. He enjoyed all of his presents and was probably the most excited about all the pokemon cards he got from one of his friends.  Happy Birthday little bud!!

Also at the end of January Keith had to go to Evanston (5 hours away) for winter survival training for Verizon. He was gone Sunday-Wednesday. I was so nervous and scared for him to leave, I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to take care of all three by myself, especially since the twins aren't sleeping through the night regularly yet. So I said a prayer that I would be ok, that the babies would do well....and what do you know? Those two slept better for those three nights than they ever have! Cole slept 7-9 hour stretches and Ayla slept 6 hour stretches and after she ate she would go right back down! I was so sure I'd have to call a friend for help, but no, this momma did it all on her own! And now they are back to their regular five hour stretches.  I was so proud (lol), course I was still so happy when Keith walked through the door late Wednesday afternoon.

This was a snapchat at dinner while Keith was gone.

These two monkeys turned four months on February 3rd.
