Karsten is really into jets this year. No surprise since 4 of his 5 birthday themes have been around things with large engines. So far we've done trains, cars, garbage trucks, and now jets. We did have a small reprieve from big engine objects last year when he had a Superman birthday.

I seem to remember (and document) the big events in our lives - birthdays, holidays, job changes... But what I want to remember is the little things - the way David and I hold hands, the way Karsten looks with his hands behind his head without a care in the world, Skyla's giggle, and Sierra's ability to block the world when she's reading. So here's to what I want to remember the most... the little moments of our lives that equal a much bigger picture.

Skipping 5
Karsten is 5. What a milestone birthday! Yet he wanted to skip it. About a month ago I told him his best friend Owen was coming to visit after his birthday. Karsten couldn't
wait so he decided to just skip his birthday. He would NOT let me have a party for him. I finally convinced him that we could do a party with just the family and that way he could still get cake and presents. And we had to throw in Chuck E. Cheese. He reluctantly agreed to let us celebrate his 5th year of life.

His day started with breakfast in bed (5 crepes) and ended with all this loot. Not bad for skipping 5!
