Colton's 3rd Birthday!

Colton Leon Cotner

I can't believe that our little boy is 3!!! This year I decided to make him a dinosaur cake. I think it turned out pretty good and he loved it! We invited some cousins and friends over for cake and ice cream and I think Colton had them all well entertained. He is such a happy little guy and I love that about him! When you are around him you can't help but smile from what he does or says that just makes you laugh! I also think he has enough energy to power a small city and it can be exhausting but I really wouldn't like him any other way! We are so proud of him and he is very proud of himself for his accomplishments too no matter how small he'll say very excitedly "I did it!"

The cake!



We had to light the candles twice because he blew them out before we could even sing Happy Birthday! He was just so excited!


"I did it!"

Clothes!

Colton is so funny with wrapping paper, you would think he would just rip into it but he doesn't so I was helping him with it.

Buzz Lightyear!

Mickey Mouse coloring book!

Opening his golf set from Mark and Kim.

Thanks Mark and Kim!

And a set of practice golf balls! Very exciting!

Opening his dinosaur toy.

Cool! To bad he was a fraid of it once we showed him that it Roars and moves!

What's in this box?

A basketball! And what goes with a basketball?

A basketball hoop! He was so excited!
I'm ohhhing in the background because the last shot he just missed hit Evan right on the head! Poor baby but I'm sure it won't be the last time!

Golf clubs and a basketball what more could a little boy ask for?


Once he discovered the dinosaur had guns he could shoot it wasn't so scary!

Happy Birthday little man! We love you!

Evan's 8 week check up

Time is flying and I go back to work next week but I can say that I have loved being able to stay home with these two wonderful boys of mine! Evan had his check up on Monday the 17th. He sure is a big boy! He weighed in at 15 lbs 3 oz and that put him in the 99 percentile for weight. He is tall too luckily at 24.5 in and the 93 percentile. His head is 15.7 in and only the 48 percentile but it does not look that small compared to the rest of him.

Our cute round little Evan!

Evan's Baby Blessing

We blessed Evan on Sunday October 9th in our new ward the Bennion 6th Ward. We were so grateful for the family that could make it and missed those that couldn't. We were especially happy to see my Grandma and Grandpa make the trip from California to be with us! We had lunch after the blessing at our house and were able to enjoy this new member of our family and each other. Thanks to everyone for your help with the lunch!

Catching Evan's First Smile

Evan loves this bouncer and he loves the Lion and Zebra. He talks to them and laughs at them and then he smiled at them, before he smiled at mom but that's ok at least I got to see the smiles!

So Cute!

Putting up Tigger

Every Halloween the decorating begins with putting up Tigger (or Tiger as Colton calls him). Colton is very helpful! He helped daddy with the extension cord then he used the hammer to drive in the stakes to hold Tigger up and then ran around like the crazy kid he is.

Let the Halloween decorating begin!
