First Movie!

Josh and I had THE BEST time taking Colton to see his first movie...The Lion King in 3D!  We hadn't thought to take Colton to the movies because we thought he was too young and wouldn't stay still (or quiet)!  He did AWESOME, except he was a little loud singing the songs ;)

We were ready to go inside and find our seats ;)

He was super excited when he saw The Lion King poster in the lobby!

The hardest part for Colton was keeping his 3D glasses on...ha!

Josh packed a few of his Lion King toys.

It was an awesome family outting....we can't wait to go back to "Da Mowies" again!

Tailgate and UT game!

For the Cincinnatti game, some of our Bible Fellowship Class got together to tailgate before the game!  Colton seemed to enjoy all the fun too...bofore I took him home so Josh and I could go to the game :)

Buzz is a UT fan...who knew?!

A BEAUTFUL day for a big orange win! 

Ben, Daniel, Brittany, Tiffany, Whit, & Josh

Bed Head!

These days, when Colton wakes up from his nap, his hair is kinda crazy...and cute :)

St. Simons Getaway!

My mom and I had a much needed "mother/daughter" getaway this past weekend to St. Simon's Island for a wedding.  We went with Mrs. Rooney & her daughter Allison and Mr. & Mrs. Bittel; they are all long time family friends.  I left Wednesday night and returned home Sunday night. Let's just say I was a little nervous for Josh to keep Colton because he had work obligations, along with Linervision Friday, and his radio show Saturday morning.  With the help of family, neighbors, and sweet friends, it all worked out for Josh and Colton :)  I was even a little suprised when I got home to a clean house and all of Colton's laundry done!  All in all, it was a great weekend for Mom and me in beautiful St. Simons!  Enjoy the pics (picture heavy)!

The awesome view from our room at the Bed & Breakfast we stayed at!

Mom and I right before dinner our first night there.

The rest of the gang...Mrs. Bittel, Mr. Bittel, Mrs. Rooney, & Mom at The Saltwater Cowboy...yummy!

Allison and I spent the next day at the pool...nice view of the lighthouse and the beach was to the right :)

We went to a "toast to the couple" dessert party at The Lighthouse on Friday evening.

Mom and I at the party!

Lots of laughs with these guys!

Allison and I ready for the wedding!

The sweet couple...Lauren and Keeva!

They had 5 stations...my favorite was the Shrimp and Grits Station ;)

It was a beautiful setting for the wedding!

Lauren and Mr. Moore...father/daughter dance!

As you can tell, we had a blast!!!

Swingin'

The three of us went to the park recently.  Colton couldn't enough time on the swings!  We love hearing his giggles and seeing his funny expressions when he is "swingin'!"

Silly Boy!

Sometimes you never know what you may see when you have a two year old playing by himself in the family room while you're cooking in the kitchen...well, the other day, Colton emptied out all of the balls from this net bag and used it as a "hiding place!"  I love their innocence at this age...he thinks I can't see him when he is hiding inside of it :)

Here I am Mommy! 

Colton's First Day of Preschool!

Today was the day that I was dreading and was excited for at the same time.  On one hand, other people, besides myself would be influencing my Colton.  Also, for the first time, I would not get to see his every move, laugh, cry, diaper, smile, cuddle, etc.  These things made me sad and a little anxious.  On the other hand, going to preschool is part of growing up and developing his own personality.  I know it will be a great experience for him to have to listen, respect, & follow directions from other "teachers" besides me all the time.  It is just hard to realize that he really is growing up!  Time is flying with our sweet boy, and we are loving every minute of it...let this new journey begin!

He was READY for preschool!

Such a big boy!

Colton is pushing Ily away because she is trying to give him sweet kisses :)

Sporting his new backpack!  He LOVES to carry his backpack and lunchbag around!

We are so glad that we started talking about "preschool" with Colton for the last month.  We really think that it helped him to have such a great first day!

One last hug from my sweet boy before we left!

"BYE BYE!"  Let's get this show on the road!

Colton with his sweet teachers Mrs. Delaine and Mrs. Tiffany...you can tell that he was a little nervous...so cute :)

We found his little cubby for his backpack and lunchbag.

Here are the little treats I made his teachers...being a teacher, I know some good tricks ;)

This is what he was doing when I left...meeting new friends and playing with play doh!  When I picked him up, he was asleep on his napmat...it was a GREAT first day!!!
