T.H.R.E.E.

Happy 3rd Colby! You are such an amazing kid...so easy to love and so full of personality. You are quick with a smile and have such love in your heart. God definitely knew what He was doing when He decided you were the kid for us.

Here's just a few things that make you...you:







You love spending time with daddy...whether it's playing outside, mowing the grass or building something together...

I think we could take away all your toys except your match box cars and you'd be happy. You can sit and park them all day long...with short breaks to jump on the couch (hence the ace bandage)!


You love your little brother with all your heart and always want to help me take care of him.


You try to help him learn new things....



and even try to be a big kid and help burp him!

(Okay, just thought this is a hysterical picture...Colby was pretending and Brogan moved his head just as I was taking the pic, so it just looks really bad!)



You're a wiz on the computer already.



Although your attention span is pretty short right now, you are clearly athletic! (So, if the computer thing doesn't work out hopefully you can make your millions in sports.) ;)



You love to help me clean and cook...


...and love to eat even more! (Seriously, I'm going to need a second job to pay the grocery bill when you're a teenager!)

You love to sing...
...even when you don't know the words!



Best of all, you're just plain goofy!


I love you for all of these things...and sooooo much more!
Love,
Mommy

Camping '09

We went on our annual family camping trip to Dillon Lake and had a great time and thankfully great weather the whole time.

Watch out for this crew...




The tent trying to blow away...for the 2nd time! (It was a little windy!)

Fourth Fun...

Nothing beats a hometown parade on the Fourth....especially when they throw candy!



BBQ at the Bothwells, which of course includes a huge inflatable water slide, snow cone machine, mohitos...

...and a photo booth! (See www.booth66.com for all your CO and TX parties, weddings and corporate events.)


And, our all time favorite thing about our house...watching the city fireworks from our back deck...and smores, if the boys can get the firepit started. ;)
What? Who's scared of sparklers??

June fun...

Just some random June happenings...

Grandma red car with Brogan. (Yes, the car fascination has continued on with how Colby refers to his grandparents!) She spent many afternoons at the park with Colby, which he...and I...loved!


Taking Torreys for a walk.


Cheyenne Mountain Zoo with grandma Florida. (She's currently in between cars...)




Colby's new favorite chore...seriously, he insists on washing the dishes after every meal now.

Awww....brothers...
Alpine slide with daddy on Father's Day. Going up on the ski lift...
...and up, and up and up! (I'll admit I was a little nervous!)

Finally down! Not sure who had more fun, Colby or daddy...

Colby's new hobby

...digging for worms in the garden. Lovely. The joys of being the mom of boys I guess! (In all honesty, I'd rather dig for worms than play with dolls myself though!)


Here's a few other recent pics so Brogan doesn't feel left out. ;)



Naptime


What they say is sooo true...this box has provided WEEKS of play!
