Birthday Extravaganza

Spring is the time for birthdays at our house!!
Carson turned 4 on March 1st

This is the bike he got from mom & dad & the helmet/gear from G&G olsen

He helped make his cake! He had to have "the number of the day" (phrase is from seseme street) on it so we did!!

Playdoo, cars, & pixystixs from Uncle Scott & Aunt Brittany

Book & tools from G&G Stanger

We also had a fun little Cowboy-Woody birthday party for Carson & his friends. It was somewhat crazy with about 13 3-5yr olds. But I think he had a lot of fun!!

Climber

This girl is always so busy. She loves to climb. She climbs over your lets, under your legs like a bridge and anything else that is climbable. I was taking her changing table out of her room, because it isn't very useful to us anymore, since again she just wants to climb and squirm while she is on it. And she decided that she could climb in it and got stuck in there. She also likes to stand on her head so these pictures were perfect.

Stocking Stuffers

My christmas rock stars!!

Christmas and Santa

Santa came to Arctic Circle this year. Christmas was fun with these two. Briley did just fine with Santa- she was just curious.

Christmas Letter

So, here it is again the Christmas season of sharing. So much has happened this year. And we have so much to be grateful for.
Carson turned 3 on March 1st. He is getting so big. It is amazing what those little brains absorb. He is still going to daycare 2 days a week and loves it. He really wants to be big enough to go to school. Christmas will be fun this year with him.
Briley Jo was born on March 18th. Delivery went well. I had to had an emergency c-section with Carson, but I was able to have Briley naturally. And when I say naturally that is what I mean. I labored a lot at home and had her within an hour after arriving at the hospital. It has been so fun to have a little girl, bows, dresses and the works. She is little miss independent and in such a hurry to grow up.
Bryce has been busy working at Gem State Paper. He is such a great dad. He played on a city league flag football team this fall and had a lot of fun. He survived the whole season with no injuries, then on Thanksgiving day family and friends got together to play a game and he ended up with a broken wrist. So he is now sporting a beautiful black cast!
As for me, just trying to stay afloat! Still working, 2 days a week. I am in our ward primary presidency. It has been a good experience. Other than that it is just go, go, go everyday; laundary, housework, shopping, playing with the kids, etc.
We wish you all a wonderful holiday season. Merry Christmas!
Love, Bryce-Shelly-Carson-Briley
