18 months and counting

I can't believe he is 18 months old, he is getting so big and is starting to look like a little boy. Colton is trying to talk, loves to blow kisses and say bye-bye to everyone. He is obsessed with the horses behind us, every morning he wakes up points at the back door and wants to go out side and see them. He stands and waves at them and tries to get them to come over to the fence. He enjoys being outside, we spend a lot of our days in the backyard and the driveway playing and exploring in our new yard.

all moved in

All of the boxes are unpacked and after 2 weeks of being here, it is starting to feel like home. I hung a bunch of stuff on the walls and our rug came in on friday so that helped a ton. Colton is starting to like it more too. The 1st few days he kept getting lost and if he couldn't find me he would start to panic. We put his room back together, as much to look like his old room and I think it was comforting to him.

Christmas 2011

We recently went to Park City, Utah for a family Ski Trip with my Dad, we had a great time celebrating my Dad and Brothers birthday while ewe were there. Chaz and I love to ski and were thankful that we were able to go this year. We weren't sure how his knee was going to hold up and we needed someone to watch Colton. His knee held up and my step mom kept Colton, so the trip was a success. It has been a record low for snow fall this season so we were thankful that there was enough for us to ski on and for the snow machines that were making snow around the clock for us to ski on.

We didn't get any snow while we were there, that is until the day we left. So I snapped come pictures of Colton in the snow in his cute little jacket. He kept slipping on the ice so he wasn't very thrilled.

I hope everyone has a great new year's eve and a very happy new year!!! 

See ya in 2012~

Exciting News!

Exciting news! We closed on our new house yesterday. The most exciting part of all of it is that our house sold in 7 days, 7 days, did I mention that is sold in 7 days!!!! I owe it all to the smell good candles I had lit and the lovely Christmas tunes playing through out the house. Construction started today on the new house and hopefully we will start moving stuff in at the end of the year and officially be all moved in by the beginning of January. 

We had our end of the year play date with my Mom's group this past Wednesday.  I feel so fortunate that I found such a great group of women, they are all so special to me. We finished up the play date with a carousel ride that started off really well and ended with Colton crying and me feeling dizzy and trying to balance while holding my huge child and a horses tail. Long story short no more carousel rides for us for a while.

Colton's 15 month pictures!

I love this one of us, he is my little mini me! 

We love him so much and I can't believe how big he is getting!!! He is such a joy to Chaz and I and we look at each other in amazement every time he does something new, what a blessing he is!

christmas pictures

My good friend Casey came in town and was nice enough to try and capture a family photo for this years christmas cards, trying to get Colton to smile and stop doing itsy bitsy spider or saying OH was quite a task. I thought you might enjoy some of the bloopers! 

Colton had his 15 month check up this past week and he is growing like a weed. He is obsessed with "The itsy bitsy spider" and loves to blow kisses to everyone! Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. The count down to Christmas has officially begun T-mines 24 days.
