Is it January already??

I still need to post some Disney pictures, but wanted to put some of the snow we got today first. Yes, it's mid-October and we have well over a foot of snow...and it's still coming down! (The weatherman promises it'll be in the 50s for trick-or-treating though!) I think this is a sign of what's to come this winter...though I can't really complain as we hardly got any snow at all last year.

Colby had a blast in the snow with the neighbors...as did Torreys. Brogan, not so much!

Ahhh, much happier nice and warm inside!

God's Zoo

Going to the zoo is one of our favorite things to do...although nothing beats seeing animals in their natural setting as we did this morning on our playgroup walk. I think Colby could have sat and watched the big horn sheep all day...and so could have I for that matter!

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

Three Months!

Three months already!! Where has the time gone??!

Say Cheese!

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.


Jamie earning her keep...

Me and Brogster...

Bug catchin with cousin Harmon...

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??
