American Idol at the Hohlens

Carter's first audition.  

What do the judges think?

Happy 4th Birthday, Turner!

Turner's 4th birthday was spent waking up to a new movie, Cars2, which he and Carter watched immediately with a quick break in the middle for homemade cinnamon rolls!  Later in the day, Nana and Papa arrived and took us all out to dinner at Las Margaritas (Turner's pick!), he enjoyed his food but was OVER THE MOON excited about his free birthday dessert the manager (Luis) brought him!  Of course, he was still ready for cake and ice cream once we got home!  I not sure anyone could appreciate having two desserts more than this kid!

Excited about his new movie, Cars2!

Happy 4th Birthday, Turner!!

Turner, you bring so much joy to our lives, we are so excited for you to be FOUR and pray this would be a year full of new adventures and an even greater understanding of God's grace on your life.

I love you past the moon buddy.
