Best Buds

It's absolutely crazy how much these two love each other. Colt and Blayke are the bestest friends. Every where we go Colt always says Blayke is coming too, every day we go outside to play and Colt always says Blayke is coming over to play too. There is not a day that goes by that Colt doesn't ask about Blayke. We are so blessed that they get along so well and they love each other so much. I think they will be friends for life...either way they will always be together, being cousins and all! LOL!

Conversations...

These are just a few of the conversations with Colt and Jace lately...

We are outside and Jace spits...
Colt: "Dad don't spit by me, that's gross!"
Jace: "Gross? Do you know what is gross?!?! Wiping your butt everyday!!"
Colt: "Ahhh, BABE be quiet, haha!"

Colt now calls us "babe!" He catches on to things so quickly!! LOL

2nd Conversation driving home:
Colt: "I farted"
Jace: "Gross Colt, what do you say?"
Colt: "I don't want to say it, oops I just farted again!"
Jace: "Colt!!"
Colt: "What?? I think I need to poop really bad"

Things that come out of both boys mouths these days just crack me up. Colt is all boy!!

Evening Ride

We met up with Jestin and Taryn, who were out visiting family, and took an evening ride. The boys jumped on the 4-wheelers and Taryn and I rode in her in-laws Rhino with the little guys. We went up over the mesa and found the virgin river. Colt and Blayke had a blast! It is the only good thing about the summer, evening rides!!

such a good picture!

such handsome boys

Jace and Blayke :)

Jump House

The beginning of May I was able to take a much needed vacation. We didnt have any plans and pretty much just relaxed the whole time, which sometimes I think is so much better than actually leaving town. We did go into Vegas one day and met up with Taryn and Blayke. We went all the way across town to "Pump It Up," a wharehouse of slides and big bounce houses. this place was awesome! It only cost $7 for Colt to jump and it was free for adults. We all got to jump for several hours. Now every time we go into Vegas all Colt wants to do is go to the jump house and is talking about going there for his birthday. I guess we will see!!

Easter 2011

Easter was so much fun this year. Colt was very excited fot the Easter Bunny to come, he kept waiting for him to hop down our driveway. We colored eggs with Grammy the day before Easter and on Easter Sunday went to Caitlin's in-laws for dinner and an egg hunt. Taryn and Blayke came with us, the boys had a blast.

the Easter Bunny brought a basket full of goodies...which didn't last long!

The egg hunt is on!!!

the best pic I could get of both boys right next to each other. Now a days it is such hard work to get that!

showing off their baskets of eggs

showing Larry the baskets of candy

wasting no time at all, getting Jace to open all their eggs for them.

Easter Bunny

On Saturday Taryn, Vicki, Caitlin and I took the boys to see the Easter Bunny! They were both really excited while waiting in line, but were a little hesitant to sit on his lap. Once they were up there they were both fine and cheesin' it.

We bribed Blayke with a fake cupcake to get him to hold still, it was funny!

Blayke trying to get away and Colt throwing out a huge cheesy smile, LOL!

their prize for being so good!

They definitely like the Easter Bunny this year, which made it very fun for us moms!

Clark County Fair

It was fair time again this year. The weather was so crappy this year it made it miserable, but we toughed it out and still managed to have lots of fun. We ate lots of fair food and got to visit with tons of friends and family. Hopefully next year the weather will cooperate and make it a lot easier on us!

Dally and Colt

All the pictures are off of my phone because I am a slacker mom and forgot my camera! I dont know if I really would have had time to take pictures anyways, plus it was so rainy, windy and freezing cold!! Until next year!!

"No Pictures Please"

Trying to get Colt to smile these days for a picture is impossible!

Purposely looks away...and I sit there and say his name over and over and over....

"stop it Mom!!", thats all I ever hear....

Finally he just gives in :)

Grounded...

I wanted to write this post so I will always remember and be able to tell Colt the first time he got GROUNDED!!! I love my wonderful and wild son, but there are some days I wonder how I am going to be able to do it for another 18+ years. Tuesday evening Colt was playing outside when I noticed that all of a sudden it was really quiet. I looked out and he was gone. Now I know exactly where he went, that's the good thing about living out in the sticks, there are only so many places he can go. I found him at the neighbors jumping on their trampoline, which was covered in cheese balls, along with all of the kids. We haven't met these neighbors yet, we just know that they also have kids. Of course Colt has no problem playing in their yard, there "his friends". As I am standing at the neighbors gate (who I dont know) yelling for Colt to get off the trampoline and come home with me, their pit bull is trying to rip my neck off through the fence. I was getting so upset, finally an older kid grabbed him and threw him over the fence to me. When we got home we had to have a long talk with Colt and I grounded him for a week from playing with his friends outside. Nothing works with this kid! I am trying to get creative and am hoping that he starts to understand that he has to listen and if he doesnt that there are consequences. I am probably the only mother that has to ground their 3 year old!!! Ohhh, I just can't wait for the many adventures he is going to bring :)

Sleepover

A few weekends ago Colt had his first sleepover with Vicki. This was the first time that I had ever been away from him all night. I survived, LOL! Colt did really good and only asked for us right before bed. I think it helped having his best buddy Blayke there. The next morning we all had to be at the Heart Walk by 7:45 so needless to say Grammy was tired!
