The Carlson Family: Carter is 7!

We celebrated Carter's 7th Birthday on Saturday. I can't believe that I am the mother of a 7 year old, I feel so old! Here is a little bit about Carter:
1. Carter loves science, G.I. Joes, dinosaurs, and art. He has an amazing imagination, and I love to sneak up on him and watch him play.
2. Favorite Color: Green
3. Still loves to cuddle and gives the best hugs.
4. Favorite Food: most anything with cheese
We discovered that Carter has a sensitivity to milk, soy and red and yellow dyes this year. His milk is limited so anytime he can get his hands on something with cheese, he is one happy boy!
5. Least Favorite Food: Lasagne
6. Favorite Candy: Kit Kat
7. Favorite Subject in School: Art

Carter has such a fun loving personality and we are so greatful to have him in our family. Happy Birthday Carter man!

We started off the his special day with breakfast and opened a few presents.

Aunt Nancy and Uncle Todd gave Carter this remote control spider. Hailey was terrified of it at first! I feel like such an awful mother taking pictures of my child as she is scared to death, but I couldn't help but laugh! By the end of the day, she would say that the spider was cute, but if it got too close, she was still a little nervous! The cat didn't approve of it either!

Carter found his "Hidden Cupcake" with legos and bubble gum inside.

We had a little party at Color Me Mine this year. Carter loves anything artsy, crafty, so I thought he would enjoy this. Here are his cousins Ty, Daxton, and Nic painting their projects.
All of the kids stayed busy for quite awhile painting quietly. I think it is the first time I have seen them all sitting still for so long!
