Colton's 3rd Birthday Party!

Finally!!!!!!!!!! For those of you who were patient, thanks! For those of you who weren't, serves you right to have to wait for pictures!! ;)

Anyway, Colton's birthday, or IncrediParty, was a blast! He had so much fun with all of his little friends! We rented a moonwalk...that was a huge hit! Below are some pics! Enjoy!

Colton & Hudson before the party! They were hungry, so Uncle Derek went and picked up some food from Chick-fil-A, or "Chick-the-leg" as Colt calls it!!

Colton & his friend Garret that lives down the street! They always have so much fun playing together. And there, in the background, is Dad playing along with "the boys"!

Dad, Mom & Colt opening presents! It was a family effort!

Not just a family effort, but all of Colton's little friends wanted to help! It was a lot of fun! They really got into it!

Colton & his friend Carter!

Hudson was helping unwrap too!

All the boys helping Colton blow out his candle!

A Few More Pics!

The birthday boy and Daddy eating a cupcake! Yummy!

I love this picture of Hayden! She looks so precious! She was actually quite scared to be in there by herself...so, I jumped in there with her! So cute!

Hudson & Hayden! Are they precious, or what! I just want to squish both of them!

Hudson enjoying his cupcake! What a mess! Glad I didn't have to clean him up! ;)

Hudson & Ty! Are they cute or what!

Hudson was helping Papa mow the patio! He's such a good helper!

And a Couple More Pics!

That's all Folks! I'm pooped!

Today's my first day at my new job!!!

Yes, I know, I am terrible about keeping everyone informed, including my best of friends. But yes, it's true, I am starting a new job today! I am working for a different title company, doing a lot of the same stuff, and I get to work with my friend that left my old job back in June! So, I am pretty excited!

I'm sorry I haven't posted birthday pics yet, but I promise to do that this weekend! I actually have the weekend free, except for one wedding! So, I have extra freetime!

Have a great day! I can't wait to share. Hopefully I won't trip or something or have something in my teeth! But, if I do, that will just break the ice!!!!!

Love ya,

Happy Birthday, Incrediboy!!!

Yes, today is Colton's 3rd Birthday! I have spent the day running down memory lane! And then tonight my family and I took him to eat at Panchos...yes, Panchos...for yummy mexican food. Mainly so they could sing him Happy Birthday and put the sombrero on his head. Well, they didn't have a sombrero, but he did have his Incredibles costume on, so he still looked pretty dang cute! I will post pics this week...I promise!

And yes, I am still alive...just been busy as ever! Caleb is back from Iraq, so we've been visiting him a bit. He gets to come to the party...definitely excited about that one!

Well, I'm off to bed...actually, my Incrediboy is kicking the wall next to his aunt NooNee's room, so I have to go be stern and tell him no more kicking! After that, it's off to bed. Pictures will follow...very soon!

4 Months to the Day!

So, I said I would try to post closer together, maybe 3 months instead of 4 months apart...yeah, that didn't happen! But, if at first you don't succeed, try try again! So, I will try again!

Anyway, not much new. Colton will be 3 next month! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!! Man, time doesn't just fly, it zooms by! My baby is now a kid...probably considered a preschooler! Try and swallow that one! Tough, I know! He's doing good! Learning anything and everything he can! Dianne has run out of things to teach him, so now it's time to learn to read, I guess! Always been a smart kid! And he loves Veggie Tales. He sings along with the songs. I love to hear him sing! He will sing in his room, in the car, everywhere! It's the cutest thing. Someday, I will get it on video and post it on here...but probably not for a couple of years, cause that's the timeline I'm on! lol Anyway, his favorite color is green, and his new favorite things to eat are sandwiches! He likes turkey and cheese, and peanut butter and jelly. Cute kid! He is out of the highchair, and in the booster seat...the same booster seat his Aunt NooNee used about 15-16 years ago! How fun is that! So yeah, he's doing great!

As for me, I'm doing great! I planned on taking several classes this summer, but only ended up taking one. But, I got an A, so that's good! Still working the same job! Just got a promotion...don't have to answer the phones anymore! HUGE!! Pretty happy about that one! Nothing much else going one, just taking every day as it comes! Just enjoying life, and enjoying Colton!

As for Caleb, he is scheduled to come home next month! Yup, it's already been almost a whole year since he left for Iraq! Colton is ready to see him. He's been asking for "my dad" a lot lately. He knows he's coming home soon, so, I guess that's why he's talking about him so much more lately. We will all be glad to have him back home safe and sound! One special thing is that he should be home in time for Colton's birthday. This will be the first birthday for him to spend with Colton. The first, he was in his Army training, and the second he had just left for Iraq. So, he and I are planning this party together. Looking forward to not being the only parent at this party, and getting to share it with Caleb!

So, that's my update for now! Enjoy the next couple of "blobs". I have tons more pics, but not enough time. Hope everybody is doing great! Here's a few pics:

My Nephew!

So, my nephew, Hudson Michael, is almost 1...I can't believe it! He's gotten so big...and he is so dang cute...I can't get over it! I found a couple pics from our Galveston trip a couple weeks ago. He is so sweet! Enjoy!
