and then there's my BOYS...

... My loveable, happy, precious boys!

Life just wouldn't be as balanced if it werent for my boys!

Drake who is my tender hearted soul. One of two of his mother's greatest JOYS! always looking for the good and virtuous. The man of our household. Responsible and honest and is always doing his best to make right choices. He is so smart! One who loves to be busy with friends and cousins or is just as content with a good book in his lap. My pride and JOY!

Kai is one of my special blessing from my Heavenly Father. Of course i consider ALL my kids to be my greatest blessings... but somehow, there is a very special bond with Kai. Kai definately holds a special piece of my heart. My buddy boy! Hilerious and busy. happy with either a rock, the garden hose, a dirt clod, or an A B C in his hands... with his own sweet way of talking-pronouncing each letter of every word as if it were so special... he couldn't leave it out! his adorable passion for the alphabet. how his eyes light up with happiness when he sees me, followed by a squeeze around my neck! -oh! melt my heart!

Little Jake who we thought might never come to the Carlson family! So brave & tough! Patient, putting up with three sisters! a little guy that has given his daddy the blessing of going to the 'Fathers & sons' camp-out! (yea 4 Kent!) Inquisitive & always on the move to see what he can find and learn.
