Good times...

So, I have not posted in a while, no real excuses just haven't. We have had some fun times this last month and here are some pictures from our various activities.

We went fishing at the Farmington Pond and at Jordanelle Resevoir. We didn't have any luck at the pond but James did catch a big fish at Jordanelle.

James thinks he's funny! This was at the pond. It didn't smell very good. There were a lot of geese and ducks but Colton thought they were fun to watch.

It was a little cold at Jordanelle but he didn't seem to mind. He really wanted to hold the fishing poll.

Will is trying to get him started early....

On Memorial Day we had the usual barbeque at my Mom's house. Colton got to see his older cousin Jacob. Jacob was born early that is why he is smaller but older. They are cute boys!

His mohawk is getting a little out of control! We don't do it that way much anymore.

He loves graham crackers!!

And this is what happens when you 'motor boat' into your food. It was so funny after he did that he looked at me like 'Why'd you do that, mom?'

He has gotten creative in the places and positions he falls asleep as seen in the following few pictures.

I'll lay him in his bed while I get things ready for him to go to bed and this is what happens. Everything gets quite and I find him sound asleep....

Hugging his teddy bear leg.

Easter and Mother's Day Holidays

Well, my sister Amy took some pictures of Colton for us on Easter since we forgot our camera. Here he is on his first Easter Egg Hunt. He's not sure what he is doing but he grabbed onto the bright colored egg.






Since Easter Sunday was such a nice day and my Mom's lawn was looking so nice and green I decided to see what Colton would think of it..... Well you can judge from the photo and video he was a little concerned about this whole grass thing. It was just to funny to watch him get so worried when we would touch his feet to the grass.




This was my first Mother's Day and it was wonderful. Will made me breakfast in bed, although I was already up with the Colton and didn't eat it in bed. It was delicious pancakes and bacon with eggs on the side. For my Mother's Day gift he got me a new ring. I love it!! It is blue saphires for a boy but it is also our anniversary month stone. Horray for 5 years! I'm so lucky to have a wonderful husband and a great baby boy! After church we went to my Mom's house and had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed time with the family. We also found out that my sister is going to be a mom again!! YEAH! That means I will have at least one new little nephew and two more little ones (not sure yet about them) by the end of the year! Wow, my family is growing so fast!



Today we finally bought a highchair. Colton was so excited, he just stared at the tray for a few minutes. Then we gave him some Cheerios and he pushed them around. He doesn't quite have the grabbing and putting them in his mouth down yet, but he will get there.

SIX Months... Poor Sick Baby... Spring Visit

Colton is now SIX months old. I can hardly believe that six months ago our lives changed completely and our family grew. We love having him with us and he is such a joy! I love his beautiful blue eyes and his happy toothless grin (still no teeth). He hasn't decided that he wants to sit yet, but he is getting very close to sitting by himself!! He also, has decided that he just doesn't want to roll from his back to his stomach. While in his crib he wiggles around enough that I guess he figures that he doesn't need to roll over to get around. He will still roll from his tummy to his back though. He'll do anything to get off his tummy. To celebrate this wonderful occasion of six months we got a cake and had it decorated. Colton couldn't enjoy any of it but you can see that he sure wanted to!!

Poor Colton has been sick since last Sunday. It all started with a cute little cough, that he would dramatize, but soon turned into a running nose, fever, and an even worse cough! Yesterday he actually started acting like himself again but still has a terrible cough. Here is a picture of him on the day I think he felt the worst. He was so stuffed up and would get so upset every time he coughed. It's so hard when they are sick and there is nothing you can do for them but try to make them comfortable.

My sister Amy and her daughter Shelby were visiting this week. It was so good to see them and to see how Shebly has grown since last year! Colton sure loved his cousin Shelby and he very much enjoyed having his Aunt Amy around to snuggle him while he was sick.

Sunglasses and Laughing movie

So Steve, Will's friend, came over on Saturday to help us in clearing out some over grown trees and bushes. When he showed up he had these awesome sunglasses on so I had to try them on Colton.

The last week or two when the dogs would walk by Colton he would giggle. I have been trying to get it on camera and today I finally did. We were eating dinner and of course the dogs were begging and he thought it was so funny and just giggled and giggled. James was taking the video but was on the phone so that's who you hear talking, but you can hear Colton giggle too.

Mya thinks she is so cute!

Mya got a hold of a bread bowl. We all thought it was so funny we decided to share!
She did not want to give it back!

Look what I can do!!

Well it has been a long time since I have blogged. I have started back at work fulltime so I think that might be a good excuse for neglecting this. Forgive me as this will be a long post but I think you will enjoy it. As you can see this post is titled "Look what I can do". Our little boy is sure growing fast and I have enjoyed every single day of his growth and development.

Like I mentioned earlier I have started working fulltime. I have to wake up very early to get ready for work and to get Colton ready to go to Emily's. Sometimes he does not want to wake up. Look at how peaceful he is when he sleeps.

I got him Mommy!!! One day Will had fallen asleep so I put Colton on his back and took a bunch of pictures. He was so happy!

For President's day we went to Strawberry Resevoir to go snowmobiling. We didn't take Colton out but we did want to make sure he stayed warm. This is such a cute little hat!

His mohawk is getting to be quite impressive!

We decided to let him try rice cereal a few days ago. He wasn't so sure about it but he liked blowing bubbles with it.

I chopped my hair off. It is now chin length and I have bangs. I like that it is shorter and not falling into everything but it takes more time to do than a ponytail.

His latest thing he has discovered is his feet. They almost reach his mouth!

One more mohawk photo taken today.

This video is of Colton just gabbing away last night. He has discovered he has a voice and really likes to use it now.

Having way too much fun scrapbooking!
