Sisters Years apart

The only thing that separates these two girls are the years. Since the older two have watched over the two little ones this summer, Sierra and Carson have become very close. It does kinda bother me how Sierra just watched Carson crawl into the toy box shown below...has this happened the entire summer?
So, we had one turn 1 year in July. Then, we had Sierra turn 17 on August 8th. She started her senior year four days later and she is sooo excited about being on top of the food chain. The water works already started for me and will probably continue till graduation. This happened way to fast!She is working on more time behind the wheel, still has a passion for art, kind, is a great role model for her little siblings and plans on attending a local college next year. And, this girl makes me laugh. Ry and I always tell the kids that they are the greatest people we know...and they really are.
Big things also happened for our littlest one too this summer. She had her first birthday. She made her first road trip to New Mexico. And, she met numerous family members for the first time.
Carson has five teeth now and SHE TOOK OFF walking! She milked the "walking thing" for two weeks..Then, one night we just had to call her out on it. We knew she could walk...but she just wanted to be packed. Well, sure enough...the same night of the talk. BOOM. Girl got to stepp'n.
This little lady is pretty tough. I haven't seen a child take soo many spills; and a lot are because Cormic gives her a love nudge to the ground. She also likes to climb. You name it...and she's tried it. I walked in the bathroom because I heard her crying. She was stuck. One leg on the ground and one leg over the lid of the john.
wow.
