Finally, I have some time to post some (ok, there are lots) pictures...and I found my USB cable so that helps too! :)

Carson and Cole had their birthday on Sunday, but we celebrated on Monday night with a cook out and had family over who lives here, and then my Mom and Dad were also still in town to share in the celebration. Carson loves cookies and is always saying "Coooookie", so I made them a big cookie cake this year. I have to admit we didn't know what to expect out of the boys. Last year they both cried as soon as everyone started singing happy birthday to them, and then also got upset and fearful when we lit the candles...this year was TOTALLY different. Carson and Cole had big smiles on their faces the whole time, it was SO much fun to see them enjoy their party so much! It's amazing how much they have grown and learned in the past year. They are so much fun and a joy to our whole family.
