Easter Eggs

We dyed Easter eggs today and Colten had so much fun. He was really excited and had a blast moving the eggs from the different colored dyes.

Lawnmower

We spent last weekend getting the yard ready for spring. Hunter mowed the yard while Colten and I weeded and planted flowers. We were hanging outside the next day when Colten grabs his play lawnmower and pretends to pull the string and makes mowing noises. It cracked me up! He picks up on things so quickly! Now he loves to do it to make us laugh. Love that little man!!

Best Buddies!!

Colten thought he was pretty cool!


Here are some recent pictures. Our computer has been a little bit funny and we haven't really been able to use it all that much. Enjoy! Colten is growing like a weed!!

Big News!!

Colten is going to be big brother!!! This next one is due around Halloween, October 26th! I am nine weeks tomorrow and have been dealing with a little bit of morning sickness. I am having a hard time eating anything that's meat. Pasta seems to be a no go too. We went to the doctor on Wednesday and baby looks good, strong, it's heartbeat was 169. Colten seems to be pretty excited, he loves to lift up my shirt and say baby and then kiss my belly. We couldn't be more excited!!

Colten Funnies

It's been awhile since I have updated... just trying to keep up with Colten and keep the house ready in case we get a showing. Wanted to share some funny Colten stories.

Loves to throw blankets over his head and say, "tanky". Thinks it is super funny!!

Loves to help me unload the dishwasher, has only broken one plate and is a huge help. He takes the plates out one by one and stacks them for me!

If the dryer is open he will grab the filter, take it to the garbage can, scrape it, and then throw away the lint. He will then bring it back to me. Many times I have been surprised by him standing at the garbage cleaning the the dryer vent. He also likes to help me load and unload the washer and dryer.

He loves to take pieces of the vacuam and go around the house going hrrr with them, pretending to vacuam. He also throws a fit if he isn't the one able to mop

Loves to clean the windows, well just really loves to spray the vinegar on everything.

Loves basketball and baseball. Begs for the football so he can get Tank to chase him thru the house.

Can't get enough of puddles and water. If one of us takes a shower while he is awake, he asks for a "bath bath" and points at his pants for us to take them off.

Harry Potter movies will cause him to sit still for a long time... loves them!

Everything is turned into a gun! he turned his pancake into a gun this morning and pretended to shoot it "phss, phss". Must be a hardwired boy thing because he doesn't get to watch shows with guns.

When we have something he wants, he follows us around going "bite, bite".

Hunter and Colten roughhouse on the bed, and now Colten likes to throw himself onto the pillows face first, he thinks it is hilarious!! Mommy on the other hand has to leave the room when the boys play.

I'll update again later.

Delicious Recipe!

My friend Kelli, introduced me to the best dip! I don't know where she got it from, but I can't get enough of it! I decided I wanted to share with you.

1 can of shoepig corn
1 can of black beans drained and rinsed
6 green onions chopped
1 bell pepper chopped
4 oz of Feta cheese

Mix together with 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, and 1/4 cup of sugar. You don't have to chill, but it tastes great after you do.

Enjoy!!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. Ours was good. Colten was spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa and Auntie! We missed them on Christmas morning! Can't wait until next year when we actually get to celebrate together!
