A few new pictures!

Colten is so intrigued by water!

Love this funny face!

When we were up north the other weekend we saw pig wrestling.  It was so fun to watch!  They even had kids (around 5 yrs old) in the pen with the pigs trying to get them in a big bucket.  Colten had a blast watching.  Maybe he'll sign up next year!!!

Looking at the pigs.

There was a fire truck at the pig wrestling event.  A nice fireman let Colten and my dad sit in the truck while the sirens and lights were on.  Colten absolutely loved it.  It was difficult tearing him away from the truck!

 

Colten's first hair cut was last weekend.  Here's a before picture.

During the cut....

After the cut!

Later that night showing off his new hair cut again.

At a graduation party for my cousin Aubrey.  Colten is checking out the ladies :)

Just being silly.

 

 

Colten playing with Blake.

 

Sweatshirt in July...something's wrong here!

Colten enjoyed wheelbarrow rides while Paul reinstalled our fence that fell during a storm earlier this year.

Colten and Nolan during Hartland Kid's Day.

For my birthday Paul, Colten and I went to the Jefferson County Fair.  Colten was so interested in looking at all the animals, tractors, and lights from the fair rides.  Great way to spend my birthday!

Colten sitting on my gift...a Bullet!

I made Colten a smoothing today with spinach, carrot, blueberry, banana, and yogurt. 

He couldn't get enough of it!  Great way to incorporate veggies to the diet.

At the fair with the tractor pull in the background.

Just after eating lunch.

A nice man let Colten sit on his tractor. 

He's signing "motorcycle" in the picture.  Now we need to teach him the sign for "tractor"!

Playing at the Imagination Station later in the day.

 

Pointing out the helicopter.

Playing with the sprinkler this weekend.  He's so interested in how everything works!

We had a fantastic time up north over July 4th!  Boat rides on two lakes, Townsend parade, the beach, park, Harry & Laurie's, Northern D'Lites, and exploring the cabin.  Colten loved every minute of it.  We can't wait to go back!

At home in the "recycling closet". 

Colten made a chair out of the paper to be recycled.

Colten is ready to take the keys and drive the Mustang!

Up North Wednesday afternoon. 

Colten and I drove up early with my dad.  They had a lot of fun together!

I love this with the boat in the background.

At the Townsend parade, getting ready to see all the trucks!

Right after taking his fist lick of a Popsicle.  It was a hit!

Northern D'Lites...trying to poach my ice cream!

Cuddling with Auntie Hailey.

He looks like such a tough guy here!  My little Redneck!

Too cool for Mama.  He's looking at all the boats in the lake.

On Little Pickerel Lake.

Loving his very own Adirondack chair.  It matches Nana's!

 

I love kisses from my little boy!

Driving the boat with the help of Uncle Jason.

Having fun running around naked and looking out the window with Paul.

A few new pictures of Colten.  We are having a great summer with our little guy!

Taken on May 29th.  Paul and I didn't see much of each other on our anniversary,

but we both got to spend time with Colten!

The morning of Colten's first dental appointment.  He did very well! 

He is a trooper with brushing his teeth and flossing each day.

 

Colten made Paul a card and got him a balloon for passing his CSW exam!

Being silly with Paul at Chili's.

Fun in the park.  He loves the car!

Playing with a pool of bubbles before the ski show at Fowler Park.

Hanging out at Hailey and Jason's house.

Posing with Auntie Hailey and Uncle Jason by their new patio door.

Chasing after Paul while he was mowing the lawn...yes, just in a diaper and t-shirt!

Getting into his drawer of shoes.

We had a great Memorial Day weekend up North, as you can tell from our pictures!

One of the first pictures of the weekend.  Colten's face is hilarious!!!

Having fun with Papa.

Colten with Aunt Hailey.

Having his first (virgin) Bloody Mary.  Yum!

Enjoying the morning on the deck.

We were out having fun while my dad was working at the cabin.

Colten's first taste of soft serve from Northern D'Lights.  He had just two small bites and then all he wanted to do was watch the ATVs (there is a trail right behind the building).

He LOVED the candy store.  We didn't let him have any to eat, but he enjoyed all the bright colors and different noises.

Transferring candy from one bin to another.  Then, I had to go back and replace everything!

Colten and Paul.

At the Lioness Fair in Lakewood.

 

Colten had a lot of space to walk around at the Fair!

Having fun with Blake and Jaylee.

A favorite hobby...finding rocks.
