Just cause...

Sometimes, there isn't really a reason for updating the blog...but just a cute picture!

A new love...

Colton has finally decided that he LOVES puzzles!  Nana brought over about 4 new puzzles a few months ago, and he would play with them for a short period of time...but he wasn't so interested.  Within the last two weeks, he has wanted to do all of his puzzles several times a day :)  It makes me happy because it helps his fine motor skills, memory, recall, & vocabulary!  He can never just complete one puzzle...he has to do ALL of them :)

This farm puzzle is probably his favorite right now...I am on the look out for a sports puzzle, Mickey Mouse puzzle, and a colors puzzle.

Each time he completes one, he cheers for himself :)

On this number puzzle, he always picks up the number 2 and yells out "TWOOOOOOOO!"  If you ask him how old he is going to be, he says "Twooooo!'  So funny!

"Chick-fil-a!"

Sometimes, I feel like Josh and I should buy some Chick-fil-a stock since we eat there so much :)  Colton now yells out (like a chant) "chick-fil-a chick-fil-a" when we pull in!!!

He really loves to "play" after he eats!  I wish this pic was in focus...oh well!

Coming down the slide :)

Disney Live!

Josh suprised both Colton and myself with tickets to see the Mickey Mouse Magic Show on Saturday afternnoon!  I think Josh and I were more excited than Colton :) 

It is so fun (and pretty easy these days) taking Colton out to do fun things like seeing Mickey!

Right when we walked in, the kisses for Mickey began ;)

He was READY!!!!

We were soooo happy Nana joined us :)

We got one quick pic of the show...oooops!

He seemed so big...being able to sit in the seat like a big boy!

He made it the first hour to intermission....then, after about 20 more minutes of the next half, he was ready to go eat some pizza!  When we left early, I felt at little bad, but it was funny because we saw lots of other people with kiddos the same age as Colton heading out too :)

Having his first taste of cotton candy with daddy!

The BEST part was seeing just how happy and excited Colton was to see his favorite mouse....laughing and yelling out, "Mitty, Mitty!"  Such a great memory!

Ride that Horsie!

Colton has really enjoyed his Horsie Stick that he got for Christmas.  He "rides" it around in a circle from the family room, to the dinning room, through the kitchen, and back to the family room.  He loves making the "neigh" sound along with the horse :)

The Big Dipper!

Just like his Daddy, Colton LOVES to "dip" everything!  His favorite dip right now is barbecue sauce :)  I know a lot of kiddos like dipping food, but it is just funny to me because Josh (like his dad too) also LOVES dipping :)

Dipping his turkey sandwich...ha!

Yummy!

Spring is in the Air!

We got out the 'ol jogging stroller for a nice walk in the neighborhood this morning.  It felt so refreshing, and Colton seemed to really like it.  He called out about a million "basketball goals" as we passed them in peoples driveways.  He also liked yelling out the colors of the cars/trucks as they passed by..."blue car"..."green truck!"  I look forward to many more walks this Spring!

"Hi Momma!"

Happy Valentine's Day!

He woke up so happy on Valentine's Day...pretty normal though...but just loved his little grin!

This was Colton (9 months old) last year on V-Day!

He had a special V-Day doughnut...he didn't like it as much as I thought though...oh well, I ate it :)

We spent the morning at Bounce House USA with Tonya and Turner!

Turner is one of the sweetest 3 year olds I know, and Colton loves yelling out his name :)

"WEEEEEEEEEEE!"

I think the giant slide was both boys favorite!

Tee Tee mailed Colton a special V-Day card, which he enjoyed carrying around for a while.

Nana gave Colton a special V-Day book, which he loved reading, especially the page with the soccer ball on it :)  Josh and I enjoyed a yummy dinner out together at The Sushi Spot!  We LOVE our family...and Ily too!

V-Day Dinner with The Tutens!

We enjoyed an always entertaining dinner at the Tuten's house on Sunday evening!  Boyce's parents were in town, along with Forrest and Brittany.  Jessica made yummy Petro's and brownies...while Boycie made/decorated heart shaped cookies :)

Our "Charleston Parents"

Just Dally being Dally :)

We always have fun hanging out together!

Dally playing with "Colter"

Colton likes wearing sunglasses :)

So silly!  We had a great time as usual!!!

Sunday at the Park!

The weather was just too nice to pass up an afternoon at the park. 

"WEEEEEEEEEEE!"

He was a little bit more of a daredevil than he has been in the past!

"Hi Dadda!"

I just love these kinds of pics :)

He is getting sooo heavy, but never too big to hold and cuddle with for a pic!

"Peekabooooo!"

Daddy brought his power wheeler, and the park was the perfect place to let him ride all over (as the sun was setting in his face :)  We look forward to many many more park outtings together!

"Outside"

With the warmer weather we have had, Colton keeps going to the door and saying, "OUTSIDE!"  I am really looking forward to Spring, when we can go outside everyday!  He has really enjoyed riding his new "4-wheeler" (pics soon) and playing football.

He always opens his mouth big and wide whenever he catches the ball :)

Getting ready to throw it...

Nice follow through...and spiral...

"Alllllrightttttt!"

We love nice weather where we can be outside!

Fun Weekend at Tee Tee's!

Colton and I enjoyed an extra long weekend with Gran T (he now calls her "Tee Tee").  We went shopping on Friday, hosted a baby shower Saturday for a family friend, enjoyed brunch at the Club with Aunt Betty on Sunday, along with Church & a SUPERbowl party, and lots of yummy food!

It has become a tradition for Tee Tee to get Colton a balloon for the weeked visits!

Bath time is fun wherever we are, but Tee Tee has "new" bath toys :)

Nicole at her shower...she is expecting a sweet baby boy at the end of March!

Colton enjoyed hanging out with the guests at the beginning of the shower and the end...he slept through all the rest!

The ladies who hosted prepared quite the spread :)

Gift time!

Colton and Tee Tee before we left for the Superbowl Party...my favorite pic of the two of them :)

Priceless!

He is sooooo fun these days!!!

He LOVED playing with Mr. Morgan!  We had a GREAT weekend!
