Colton 6 month pictures

Yes- I have been a blogging slacker lately. Just been busy, busy, busy. I got Colton's pictures taken a couple of months ago. So cute!! I can't believe how fast he's growing up. It makes me so sad. I also found out that I will probably be needing surgery on my knee..... AGAIN!!

Same knee, same problem. WHAT BAD LUCK! I fell on my knee about 5 weeks after my last surgery and re-tore my meniscus. No fun. Hopefully I won't be so clumsy next time although I know with myself that there is no guarantee.

So fun!!!

Random pictures

This is us in our car on our way to Disneyland. I can't believe we all fit. It only worked because we had a cargo box on top of the Pilot with our suitcases.

A big smile

Makenzie loves this boy. She likes to carry him around everywhere.

Colton's blessing day

Yes.... I am finally getting around to blogging about Colton's blessing day back in the middle of October. I found him this cute and simple outfit that fit him perfectly. I love all the faces he was making that day, including one smile.

Peach Days and Birthdays

Colton is really starting to put on the chub.

The double chin has arrived

Yes-- that is spit up on my shirt. This boy spits up more than any other baby I've had.

Tyler turned 9 this year. Can not belive that next year he will have been alive for an entire decade. I"m not sure I'm ready for that.

Makenzie turned 7 in August and had a water birthday party with 15 of her friends. So much fun!!

A weekend get-away

My sister-in-law, Maline, called me last week to tell me that she and her 3 kids were going to be in St. George for a few days. I decided to meet her down there for a quick weekend get away-- leaving Austin behind to take care of Daddy. We had so much fun, even though it was short. We played in the pool, explored a cave, jumped in the sand dunes, danced in a splash pad at night and swam in a lake. All within 36 hours and with a one month old in tow. So much fun!!!

One month

I can't believe that one month has already passed. I feel like Colton has only been here for a week or two. It's amazing how fast time flies by. It's a reminder to me to take it all in and enjoy this little sweet one while he's still so small. For the most part, he's a good baby. He'll sleep for 4 hours at a time in between feedings at night and he's eating like a champ. All of the other kids adore him.... even Austin who is constantly kissing the top of his head. I need to get pictures of them with Colton--- a project for this week perhaps.
