Something new

• Sitting on his potty... 'I need to get the cookies out'.
• Trying to fix his DVD player... 'We have a problem'.
• 'You happy?'
• 'Umm, Mommy/Daddy?'
• 'Daddy needs to get his butt home.' (Learned that one from mommy waiting for him to come home from work.)
• 'Hi everybody!'
• Loves to eat/make a peanut butter 'sammich'.
• Waves and says 'hi' to everyone in the store.
• Tells me his going to be a nice boy in the store before we actually get in the store. (A question he's been asked plenty of times before by mommy.)
• Can buckle his carseat by himself.
• Tells me everyday after I pick him up that he's not getting a haircut and the car doesn't need a shower.
• Fills the dog bowls with food by himself and knows each one gets 3 scoops.

Summer Time

Playing outside, birthdays, 4th of July... keeping busy this summer!

Colton's 3 year pictures

Check out Colton's 3 year old pictures... we love them. The only question is, isn't the child suppose to have the double chin and not the mommy? When did that happen? He had them taken on May 31 in downtown Fargo. He was quite the busy boy and we did as he asked that morning. My little boss... I love you!!

**Someone got a haircut last night and daddy was able to see first had how much his little boy HATES his hair cut. Thought we'd bring daddy with to see if he would do better with him instead of mommy. No such luck.... hopefully we'll outgrow this dislike. Haircuts and carwashes are big 'NO's in Colton's world.

Wonderful day

On Colton's birthday we went to the park in the morning and played for about an hour and after daycare Mommy and Colton went for an ice cream treat. It was delicious! When we got home we played outside in his new playhouse for his birthday from Mommy and Daddy and hit a couple golf balls around the yeard. Later, when Daddy got home we lit some candles and sang Happy Birthday to the birthday boy! (3x)

Celebration

Celebration at Happy Joe's and a few candles and cupcakes at home.... a great time!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COLTON!

Happy birthday to my little buddy, Colton who turns 3 today! We played at the park this morning and we'll go for our annual ice cream treat when I pick him up at 4:00pm. He had a great party on Sunday with lots of family sharing his day and played lots of games. It was a great time. He was a busy boy as usual! I love you pal! You are the most spirited, determined, playful, energentic boy I know and I wouldn't have it any other way! LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU!! Pictures to come...

Not keeping up...

on my blogging. Not much to write or say.... Need to post some pictures of Colton playing outside. We've been pretty low key lately... except for me who needs to learn how to take a chill pill and relax about EVERYTHING. Can definatly tell Colton is getting close to 3... from what I hear it's worse than the 'terrible two's' and he's following along with what everyone has been saying. He's a busy, busy, spirited boy that I love so very much. I think I've lost all control and he has offically run his Mommy over. Daddy on the other hand....

Looking forward to a wonderful summer and getting Colton's 3rd birthday party plans completed. He's having a cowboy theme this year. Hopefully we'll actually get some summer weather soon. Putting the house on the market again (and hopefully this time get it SOLD) after we get a few more things done to the house (new front deck, kitchen window, cleaning the basement, planting grass and a few more outside chores).

Long time...

no post. Few pictures of our busy nothings... Making forts, playing with the dogs, doing puzzels, clearing out cupboards to play in and vacuming...

Happy Easter

Spring/Summer Ready

Holy crap... I was going through the clothes that I had stuffed in a tote for all of Colton's spring/summer clothes and holy crap does he have a lot of stuff to wear. I didn't realize how much he had because I buy through the course of the year and just throw it in a tote. He is definitely ready to go for spring/summer... as I am! About the only thing we don't really have is summer pj's. Darn it... have to do some more shopping! Think I'll be selling some of the 3T shirts from last summer that he didn't really wear to make room for all the new stuff! And I just ordered some stuff from The Children's Place yesterday... if I would have known what he had I probably would have thought twice about it... oh well... but... Yikes!
