The Carsons: Celebrating Crew's #3 Birthday with the Families

Crew is THREE! I can't believe it even though I say it over and over! This is such a fun age (I think I say that at every stage, ha!). But no really, he understands what going on, talks non-stop, has fun with everything, and is just such a joy and blessing in our lives. We love you Crew!

In between all the moving and chaos, he got to enjoy several celebrations. We went to Dallas and celebrated with Grancie and the family for a weekend, then we celebrated with Mimi, Papa, Uncle Jeff, and Uncle John in Katy. We celebrated as a family on his real bday, and had a party with all his friends in Austin (pics to follow). WOW , lots of parties! And in between all that we started potty training. And he made it (finally)- we were able to go to school this year too, ha!

Grancie made this adorable birthday sign.

Happy Birthday to CREW!

Cute and very yummy cake- chocolate- Crew's choice!

Almost got daddy!

And while we were in Dallas, I suprised my friend Courtney and attended her baby shower. She is having her second baby boy, and her and I's due dates are exactly one week apart. It was a beautiful shower, and we so much fun celebrating Hunter Neal! So excited for these babies to make their arrival!

All the pregnant mommies at the shower lined up by due date.

Valerie came in from San Antonio for the weekend.

So wonderful to see her too!=)

And now onto his celebration in Katy. Crew's new "thing" is wanting to know where everyone works and what they do. Uncle John got home from his internship and Crew got ahold of his Chevron hardhat and tshirt. Then papa gave him a Statoil shirt, and Uncle Jeff couldn't be left out, so he got him a Halliburton shirt too. So- Crew wants to wear one of the shirts EVERY SINGLE DAY. Please keep in mind these are adult shirts, so they go down to the floor and look like a dress on him. I've tried the "they are all dirty and in the wash excuse" , but that doesn't work everyday. So yes, we have gotten some funny as looks as he has to wear the shirts to the store, errands, etc.- certain days its just not worth the fight, ha!=) So this particular day, he was stuck on working at Statoil and did not want to take his shirt off! So we celebrated in the Statoil shirt- all bday long!
