Springtime Fun!

Just trying to catch up on some recent happenings from March and April...

Family Time!

Nana and Pops came to visit during Nana's spring break in March. David and I were able to get away for a night and they kept Colton - so nice to take a mini-vacation...especially one that started with a prenatal massage (just for me, not David)! We look forward to more get away trips in the future!

On our getaway night we went to Ikea for the first time and brought home a table, chairs, and drawing paper for Colton. I totally pictured finding him quietly coloring away at his table during our time at home, but that hasn't happened yet. Still holding out hope...

Our rule is "the crayons stay at the table" ...and somehow we've managed to have crayon markings on the wall and floor next to the table. :)

Colton loves supervising projects...Pops is putting together a set of cubbies for Sadie's closet.

Nana and Pops got Colton an awesome slide/sports plaything. Again, here he is supervising the project!

Trying it out for the first time

Colton's first dunk! Now the slide resides in his bedroom and its so cute to hear him climb up the rock wall and swoosh down the slide!

Isn't the box always more fun than the toy that came in it?!

Playgroup and Friends!

We hang out with other babies Colton's age each Thursday (and as often as we can, other days of the week!)...

At the zoo with Janey and Kennedy (Ford not pictured)

This was our 2nd trip to the zoo and he loved it, but you can't tell by his face in this picture...very difficult to get a smile out of him for pictures. :(

Fun with Aubrey at her house

Colton and Mia playing with the doors


Fun at the lakehouse and first trip to the Ranch!

Daddy thinks its funny to make Colton look dorky with his pajama shirt tucked in and socks pulled up to his knees.

Colton's very first trip to the ranch

Plotting how to get up behind the wheel to drive the mule

Going fishing for the first time


The big catch!

This boy did NOT want to take off his life jacket, so we put him to work in the yard mowing the grass...with the life jacket still on.

He's feeling very relaxed...still in his life jacket.

Getting sleepy...

OUT! After fishing and mowing the lawn, it was time for a snooze on the wagon ride.

With BoPa after waking up from his wagon ride nap, love those blue eyes!

Hanging with his cousins, Cooper and Layla, the birthday girl

Fun at Home!

Love his smile!


I think this was our 3rd significant snow in Dallas - and it happened March 21st! Colton was SO over snow at this point...he was fascinated the first couple of times, but didn't enjoy the snow at all this time!

Daddy builds great snowmen, but Colton wasn't too impressed. He just wanted to be inside the house!

Colton loves playing in his tunnel and tent, especially when friends are over.
