My little man

Today was a big day for Colt. He has a lower GI and a Barium Enema X-Ray. He was a trooper and did great through all of it. It was much harder for Mom to watch him cry!!

Now it's just a matter of waiting for the results!!

I took this picture in the car after our stint at the hospital. We took in his "ACU Hug" and he was patting it's back as he sat in his car seat. I love my phone!! It takes great pictures!!!

I love those eyes!!

And then a moment later, I took this picture. What a profile! For some reason I love this picture. There's just something about it. I think I'll just stare at it longer till I can figure it out! Thought I would share pictures of my little man on his rough day.
Thanks for looking!!

Happy Birthday to my little man!

Brodie took this one of us!

He's getting so big!!
BIRTHDAY CAKE!!!

...this is what a birthday is all about!

Colt vs Fudge

Fudge? What fudge? I didn't see any fudge?

If only my arms were a little bit longer...

go go gadget arms!

darn!

Maybe if I look at Daddy with my sad eyes...
If I could only get the camera I could ransom it for more fudge!
How sad... no more fudge!

hehehehe... just wait till tomorrow when it ALL comes out!!!!

Colt, again...

I've been slacking on my pictures of Colt growing up. I take them, but I've been slow in getting them posted. Here is Colt quite content after chowing down on something "forbidden" I'm sure. I think Jason gave him a taste of chocolate... as you can tell, he loved it!

We went to an award ceremony for Randy and Riley, and Colt is very content to sleep in my dad's arms. He very rarely falls asleep like this, and even managed to stay asleep through clapping and little voices cheering!
What's wrong with this picture??
MY MOUTH IS EMPTY!!!
MMMMMM... FOOD!!!
AHHHH All is good again!

Catching up

Lately it seems like I'm always catching up in pictures. So here it goes again...

Brodie doing what she loves the most.. swinging!!

Ok, on second thought.. THIS is what she loves doing the most! Swimming! She loves it when she is thrown up in the air to splash down in the water! She has NO fear and will walk up to the side of the pool and jump in... even if no one is there to catch her. She's actually learning VERY QUICKLY to swim on her own and now swims to the shallow end no matter where she jumps in! Here, her cousin Allison is giving her a boost!
I'm in denial that my little Colt will be 8 months in 2 days! Here he is showing off his sitting skills. He got the hang of it in about 2 days. He thinks he's so smart.. and he is!!
My little man and his darling dimple!!!

I absolutly LOVE this picutres of Brodie and Colt. She was so patient with him that morning. She sat and sang to him, talked to him and obviously, loved him! He didn't have a good night the night before and was tired and very content to sit in Brodie's arms.

I know there are no pictures of the boys in this one.. can you tell they are at school during the day again? I'll do my best to get some up of the boys... now that Riley's lip is not swollen anymore!!

5 months old!!!

Our baby is now 5 months old! Where has the time gone???

We tried oatmeal with him on the 18th. He wasn't sure about it at first, but I think he liked Brodie helping him more than he liked eating!

I'm not too sure about this stuff...
...hmmmmm...
...hey, this stuff isn't half bad!
and a little clean up help from Brodie, he's as good as new!
He's not ready for steak and potatoes yet, but he sure has been watching all of us eat!

I think he'll wait another month or so for more because I'm just not ready for my BABY to grow up yet! He's my last and I'm trying to make it last!!

Picture Time!!!!

We've had a very busy week/weekend! Riley had his Class Picnic where the kids got their work portfolio they have worked on all year. He was very excited to show me. He doesn't seem too upset about repeating Kindergarten next year. His only concern was that he wanted a new teacher. (Easy to do since we're moving to Texas!) Randy participated in the schools Field Day and LOVED it! He is so excited to be a 3rd grader now!!! Colt discovered he actually like baths when I got him his own personal tub! Brodie is Brodie. She's headstrong as ever! As for Jason and I, we will be driving home on Monday in a new van! I'll be sure to take pictures when we finally get it home!

We have a fun filled summer, so be sure to come back to check out the picutres!!!

Colt is 3 months!

Colt Jesse is 3 months today.

Despite having a 104.3 fever this afternoon and making a trip to the ER you can see he still was able to smile a bit.

I'm still cute even when I'm hot... literally!!! :-)
These were taken a few weeks ago, but I forgot about them until I went to download his pictures of today. I thought they were too cute and I wanted to share them!

His bouncy seat has a little frog that pops up from the toy rack and a monkey that swings in the tree. When he is first put in it, he always gets this shocked expression when he first sees them. We call it the "did you see what that frog just did?" look.
And this is the "that monkey is SO funny" look.
I'm trying to take some serious 3 month pictures, but today was not the day to try. Fevers and cameras apparently do not go hand in hand. I'll keep trying, though.

Colt has lots to say

I finally got the camera going WHILE Colt was talking!

The picture isn't the best, but at least you can hear him. It takes a while for him to "warm up" to the camera, but he does start talking, I promise!

(and the screaming in the background at first, is Spongebob... that's why Brodie is so mesmerized!)

Pictures...LOTS of pictures

Ok.. bear with me. I am trying to get caught up on my pictures and decided to put them all in one post. If you don't want to see pictures of the kids, then skip this post! :-)

Riley doing the thing he loves most! LEGOS!!!

Colt at 2 months. Quite a charmer!

The following pictures of Colt are his typical look.. always smiling.

You just look at him and he smiles.

But he doesn't just smile... his WHOLE face and body gets involved!

Here he is actually laughing. He thinks he's so funny!

And as always, when the camera comes out, Brodie wants to be involved!

Nothing like a "cheesey pose" picture!
Sisterly Love! At least she's not "honk honking" his nose!
Randy, doing HIS favorite thing, too!Brodie, doing HER favorite thing...

whatever the boys are doing! Usually, it's just annoying them!

Brodie got these Princess gloves at McDonald's...yes, gloves.
But you can see, she had OTHER ideas for them!Ok.. I spoke too soon. Here she is "honk honking" Colt's nose!

Thank you for walking down my photo journey with me! I am trying to take more picutres, but it takes me a while to get them posted sometimes!!!
