How did Carver get to be 6 already?!?!

That's, as we say around here, "CRAZY TALK!" :)  When did my baby....
...get to be such a smart, handsome young man??
The last 6 years have flown by!  I never realized how much my sweet, perfect little baby would change my life and make it fuller and more meaningful everyday. 

We celebrated Carver's birthday at the Quad City Mallards Hockey game last weekend.  He invited some of his friends and they had a great time.  Then we were crazy enough to have a few of them over for a slumber party.  We survived and everyone had a great time! :)

Unfortunately, on Carver's actual birthday he was sick and had to come home from school. :(  He had been looking forward to being the birthday boy at school all year, and he was soooo sad. :(  We felt terrible for him, but we're glad that he's feeling better now and still had a great birthday. :)

At 6 years old, Carver is loving Kindergarten, is learning to read, is great at math, and loves sports, playing the Wii, and watching movies.  He is one special kid, and we feel so blessed everyday to have him in our lives. 

I have a feeling that in the blink of an eye Carver's going to go from being 6, to being 16.  So, I'm enjoying my 6 year old while I've got him, while he still calls me mommy and isn't too big to give me hugs after school and to let me tuck him in and kiss him goodnight. ;)
