My Little Man

(Funny story about this tv...check out the end of the blog to see...blogger won't let me move the pic...grrr!)

Oh my goodness! My little man is really starting to grow up right in front of my very eyes. His little personality is just blooming and he just amazes me.

James climbed on top of the monkey bars in the backyard last night and Colton got up on his lap. They were looking for our little bunny family and the sunset was just on the other side of them. This is one of my new favorite pictures.

James' parents sent the kids new cowboy boots and Colton wants to wear them every. waking. moment! It's just precious! Whether he's in just boxer briefs or plaid shorts or swim trunks...he's stylin'! I remember seeing little boys when I was younger, wearing their boots with shorts...I'm just so glad that I have my very own little man doing the same!
And I was looking through all of the Water Gardens pictures and there were just so many that I had to put them in a collage.

Some recent Colton funnies...

*He's become a backseat driver. He asks why I'm stopping at a red light, why I'm not going yet, or why I'm turning left instead of right.

*He LOVES Toy Story! And if you know about Toy Story, you know that Andy writes his name on the bottom of his favorite toy's feet. Colton wants to know why the bottom of his boots don't say ANDY. Isn't that just the sweetest??

*And finally, the Fisher Price tv. My mom has so many toys, including this one, in her playroom at her house. Colton was playing with it the other day and I told him he needed to take a break from it for a minute and run to the potty. He asked Granny, "Can you pause it?" Oh.my.word. We've created a monster!!!

Our Summer...so far

Whew! This summer is just flying right by! We've been on the go so much...and spend a lot of time at the water park! I'll have to bring the camera out there one day to get some shots of my cuties.

We are lovin' having these cute little bunnies in our backyard. They're really used to us being out there. I thought I'd see how close they'd let me get...and if they'd come take a carrot from me. (When I noticed they were out there, I'd already put on my capri jammie pants...so that's why I'm stylin, lol!)

We went downtown and passed by the Water Gardens. I told James that I had never been there before, so we got out and let the kids check it out.
Kennedie was seriously giving me a HEART ATTACK hopping from stone to stone! She was having a blast!

Look at Colton's face! He was so happy!

See what I mean?!?!?!

Oh, my sweet, sweet boy!

He does his very best cooking in boxer briefs and cowboy boots, lol!

We've kind of gotten lazy with K's hair since it's summer...I really think it's been weeks since she's worn a bow (GASP!).

She was diggin' the new blue spring Oreos.

I've had some picture ideas in my head for a while now, and I really wanted to take them before K's front 2 teeth grew in. Well, they're starting to break through, so we jumped at the chance of a little shade in the backyard tonight. I really think these are some of my favorite pictures...

(He really loves his cowboy boots...even with the plaid shorts, lol!)

MY FAV!!!

Who is this big girl?!?! She's growing way too fast.

I need to post a picture of me at age 6. I swear she really does look just like me =)

Fun!

And, K planted a little garden with her Daddy. Here's one of her watermelons! It's so tiny!

And her sunflowers! They're days away from blooming. She planted them as seeds, and now they're as tall as her!

I Have a Few Questions

I Have a Few Questions
Feel free to answer some, or all, or none (if you want to be a party pooper!) In no particular order, the random questions of the night are:

1. Are you watching The Bachelorette? Is it totally awkward for you too?
Yes!! There have only been a few seasons that I haven't watched, but I just fell in love with Ally last season. My faves are Frank, Roberto & Chris.

2. How often do you sweep/mop your floors?
I sweep every few days, and mop about every 2 weeks...and I run the vacuum over the tile when I do the carpets. Sometimes the kitchen needs a "spot sweep" under the table though.

3. Do you hate it when you can't walk barefoot on said floors because you obviously haven't swept often enough?
Ok, that's just a pet peeve of mine! I like to be barefoot in my house and if the floor is that bad...take care of it! I hate walking on nasty floors.

4. Do you have a cleaning schedule? If so, what is it? If not, how do you keep from your house being trashed 24/7, or do you care?
No set schedule. I usually try to do the laundry every 3-4 days...or once the hamper is full. I just clean things when they need done. And we always pick up the toys before bed so we can wake up to a clean house. And I just cannot sleep if there are dishes in the sink! Nothing is worse than waking up and having to see/smell dirty dishes.

5. How many loads of laundry do you do in a week?
I'd say about 4. But I'm loving summer. Summer=smaller clothes=smaller loads!

6. What is your all time favorite meal to cook?
Nothing fancy. We all really like Dorito salad...doesn't really require "cooking!"

7. Are you reading any books right now? If so, what are they?
Sadly, no. I need to get serious about scrapbooking. Poor Colton still doesn't have a scrapbook.

8. How do you and your husband share the chores? Are there specific things that you each do, or is it more of a team effort?
James is wonderful with this! He does the yard, the trash, catbox, and usually the toilets. I do the rest, but he's constantly asking what he can do to help me!

9. What are you most excited about this summer?
Going to Mexico...just not sure when that's going to be...for Aubri & Kyle's wedding!

10. What's your favorite Sonic drink?
Cherry limeade or large Coke.

11. Why do you/don't you blog?
I'd really love to print it through one of those companies to keep as sort of a scrapbook. It's just a nice way to document our lives and share these memories with family and friends.

12. Do you grow your own herbs?
Seriously?? Nope. K's growing watermelons, but that's as good as it gets around here, lol!

13. What's your best money saving tip?
Oh, saving money just gives me a crazy high! I love price matching at the grocery stores and using coupons. No credit cards either.

14. What is the most treasured toy in your house right now?
That can pretty much change day to day. They love their DS's. I got them some neat new watercolor paints...those were cool. Play-doh is always a hit, too.

15. If you had to rent a movie tonight (newish release), what would it be?
Well, we actually did rent one tonight...we usually rent MAYBE 3 a year, lol! I watched the Tooth Fairy with the kids...they loved it! I never saw Sex & the City...1 or 2...

So, now it's your turn!
