Trying to update this more frequently

But as you know its not always easy to sit in front of a computer with 3 boys needing something from you all the time. Plus the internet is a time hog, if I don't take control of it...So updated some things to make it more aesthetically pleasing....Any and all feedback is always welcome.

Well we had a very eventful last week! My sister came to visit us, great fun....then we left for Campin' Land with our friends. We had a great time...the boys love being outdoors...Steve built them a sandbox on the property under a huge tree, we made a bench on one of the fallen trees it was so perfect our friends suggested it and its so cool. Our property sits at the top of the hill and we have a view that goes on and on it seems, so we make this bench to sit on and watch the sunset...of course I am so exhausted at sunset time that I didn't get to see it...But next time.

On Saturday, Austin was riding Steve's ATV, a powerful, big machine, and went down a much to steep hill and rolled the ATV over him and his passenger (a 10 yr. old boy with NO helmet on) and we ended up going to the ER for 50 stitches. The Doc on duty said you are so lucky the stick didn't penetrate deeper because it was right over his main artery in his leg. He was scared and worried, but it wasn't bleeding a lot so I felt like it was gonna be ok. He is doing well despite scratches and bruises all over his body.

Kaden turned 4 on Monday, July 7th....My baby is growing up...He said if I turned 4 that means I am still little right? So you still have to wipe my butt....and no more sippy cups right? That kid is so funny. We rented a inflatable castle jump/bounce house and it had a water slide attached to it as well...It was a huge hit literally...Then I made a snake cake, the boys thought that was so cool. It was a busy and exhausting day! Everyone had a great time, including daddy and mommy going down the water slide. Oh course Austin had to sit on the side watching because he couldn't get his stitches wet yet...too high of a chance of infection.

Steve's birthday is this Sunday....good ole 37th birthday....Wow we met 8 years ago in September.

We have been doing some fun stuff on our home lately...stamped a patio in the front area to sit on with our chairs and relax...which we don't do enough of....and then we are building a pergola over our existing deck in the back, that should be done next week...we are really looking forward to that since we face West at night and early morning is the only time we can use our deck in the summer because its so hot and sunny. We want to eat dinner out there, so this pergola will allow us some shade finally. I will send pictures when it complete next week. I have been painting all the wood this week so that they can start framing on Monday.

Life is never dull and always full, but we wouldn't have it any other way.

Cowboy Colton and Kaden

Are these not the cutest boys you have seen...Their bedroom now that they share a room is cowboy theme. So my sister made them each a scrapebook page for their wall and so we had them dress up in their cowboy duds and we took these photos from our backyard. It was perfect time and the scenery was fantastic....The gods were watching out for us...since it took them forever to get dressed. Yikes that was a nightmare they hate to be told what to do!

Cut off all my hair!

Everyone has been asking me about my new haircut, which I love by the way....My hubby does too and Austin said you look HOT!

We are enjoying the summer its finally here, spent last week in Arizona at our neighbors house from Heber, it was amazingly gorgeous after the ride there and back it was all worth it! The pool had a lazy river, slide, rope swing, hot tub, fire bowls....It was like a resort out side with the mini golf course, outside kitchen/bbq area and they had a full theater with a big popcorn stand. My kids had a great time so did I. Austin went to spend the week after with his dad, he came to pick him up from there. He looked so different than when I last saw him 8 years ago. Austin had a great time and he really misses his dad in his life.

We are working on our house and yard a lot it seems like lately. There is always something to do. Steve and Austin built the boys a sandbox under our deck and put up a basketball standard when I was in AZ with the little boys. We are trying to finish our basement completely we have 3 bedrooms and a bath to complete. We are in no hurry as its only more space to clean and keep track of but we have no space to house a guest....so when we do, like my sister who is coming over on Monday will have to take route in Austin's room.

Kaden learned how to ride a bike with no training wheels a couple of weeks ago and now he thinks he is superstar on two wheels...trying to ride with no hands, lifting legs off of the wheels, that is just what happens when you have older brothers I suppose. Kade will turn 4 next Monday, he is sooooooooooooo excited he has been telling us all including Austin and Steve for the last couple of months, whenever we get mad at him, he says you can't go to my party then with the most serious face. Its hard to take him seriously when he looks at us like that.

Colton is Colton. Never wears shoes or shirts out anymore...he thinks he is a stud or something I think. He is now riding the same bike Austin uses, that is when Austin is not on it. Colton wants to grow up so fast I don't like it. He really likes to imitate Austin. He will be in Kindergarten OMG...where has this time gone.

Austin is backpacking the high Uinta Forest w/ scouts right now....and has been this week. I hope he did ok he was very nervous and thought he might get lost. They had to bring in all they needed by hiking up 6 miles and camping under stars....Yikes in my opinion. I will report on this next week.

I am couponing as usual...always looking for good deals as usual I have showed a couple of friends how to do it now so it been fun sharing things we find.

Steve is enjoying his job...he moved offices in the bank a month ago so now he says he is so much more productive because he doesn't have the distractions he had before. Now he works a full 20 hours a week! Just kidding those bankers hours are true ya know!

Well got to go and gather some stones for the landscape.

Caribbean Cruise Trip

We had the time of our lives. Steve won this trip too! We went to Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Haiti and Cozumel. Sunshine, food and fun what more could anyone ask for!? The boys missed us lots but they are getting used to it now...we always come back to them but they are still so little they really miss us. We really did nothing but lay in the sun, eat, sleep, dance, relax and have a great time reconnecting since its so hard to do that with 3 needy boys at home.

In Jamaica we were told we had to go to Dunn's Falls. Its waterfall that end up in the sea that we started at the bottom and walked our way up to the top. It started to rain on us but it was so cool, nothing I have ever done before either. We went to Jimmy Buffett's place and danced while the husbands all watched...they aren't much in the way of the dancing machines.

Grand Cayman is absolutely gorgeous, the crystal light blue water and the white sandy beaches made you not want to get back on the boat. It was very clean, and very americanized if you will.

I could live there so could my husband because apparently that is where all the USA banks have their sweep accounts...They said there are over 500 banks on this not so big island.

Haiti was gorgeous...not in a bad section but our friends who did the zip line said that at the top of the zip lines was an armed guard with an machine gun ready to go...Yikes I am so happy we live in a free country.

The boat we went on has been the absolute nicest cruise line we have ever been on. Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas...It had a ice skating rink, a mall, a movie theater, a rock climbing wall, mini golf, surfing/flow rider. You seriously could not even have to get off the ship and be fully entertained 24/7.

We will be back there for sure..We highly recommend that ship to anyone even thinking of another line. Top of the line in our opinion.

Enjoy!

As usual time flies by to fast

Well summer or spring I should say has finally made its way to Heber Valley Utah. I was outside today and got an actual burn I was so excited. The boys played in the sun for hours on end. Colton was so excited to go outside and play that he forgot to put on some clothes, but thank goodness he remembered his helmet though.

Kade told me today to please put on his babushka/handkerchief over his head because he had to go and babysit the neighbor kids. He looked like a little old grandma! It was precious but I had no camera around. Kade loves to ride with big brother, he says he wants to ride with no training wheels now cuz he is a big boy.

Austin just spent a week at EFY which is the church based youth camp. He came home and said it was the most amazing and awesome experience. He danced every song at the dances he said, they had lots of spiritual classes, fireside, etc. He wants to go back again next year.

We are going on vacation to Arizona next week so for sure we are going to experience heat like no other..but I am not complaining its been way cold here for over 6 months.

Enjoy the post..I know they are few and far but at least I am making an effort.

Life in the Hallows' Household

Well we are still enduring the winter snow, ice, wind chill, and beauty.  The snow really is gorgeous but when you tons of it, it begins to get old having to plow and shovel multiple times a day sometimes.  The snow is actually glittery and lovely but I am looking forward to the green grass and spring.  

The boys have been sledding down the piles of snow that are around our home.  Its taller than they are believe it or not.  

Colton is learning how to read now in preschool, the teacher says he is way ahead in his class and he was so excited when he passed off his phonics.  He likes to do his flashcards but more than that he likes to test me on the flashcards.  He thinks he is the teacher and me the student.  Kade actually is really learning too a lot since Colton is, he wants to its working out great for us cuz I teach once and they each learn.  I have been really enjoying being a mom, staying home with them, I got a Kitchen Aide mixer for Christmas and love it...been baking and cooking and even sewed my family room curtains.  I am going to be making curtains for my bedroom in the spring after I decide on a new comforter set.  I have to keep busy in the winter when my work is slow.  The boys have been really enjoying me being a mommy lately.  We have been playing Candy Land all the time. Colton despises loosing, as a matter of fact if he is not winning he tries to cheat so he can win.  The other night Steve went out of town with his friend, so I let Colton sleep with me and he was dreaming and sat up in bed and said, "Kade stop cheating"  guilty conscience I presume.  

Wow time flies

We had a very busy last 2 months. We went to Mexico the first week in December on a trip Steve won. It was so much fun..probably the best one we have had yet...well it sure does help to know more people then you can do things with them. We left in a snow storm and came home to a snow storm, but enjoyed 85 degrees most of the week! It was lovely. We just had a fireplace installed in our basement its absolutely the most coziest place to be now. We love it down there and the room is huge so the boys drag out all their toys and play down there like its football staduim. Meaning yup they throw around the football and what nots!

Christmas was great...as usual too much to much stuff! We have some gifts yet to open stilll but are using them for a time when they get bored and want something new! We had two trees this year on upstairs and one down....the boys decorated their tree and we cut down a 12 feet tree for the family room. It actually lasted and wasn't dropping needles with every breathe we took. I watered it 2 a day then gave it soda once as I read and wouldn't you know it worked.

Austin is doing well he got Guitar Hero for Christmas and has turned into a full fledge teenager for sure...Pictures tell a thousand words! He is snowboarding and playing basketball and just got finsihed with 4 plays in drama class, 2 of which he was the lead....He remembered all the lines and when someone forgot their lines, he was whipsering it to them on stage...So cute he has a knack for that acting bit his teacher said. I was so proud of him...plus he is getting more handsome each and every day. He has finally finally passed me in height which of course is NOT saying much cuz on a good day 5'2" and three quarters is my actual height...He is about 5'4 now.

Colton is still a handful..he is in preschool for the 2nd year now and can recognize and say all his letters...If he forgets a letter he hits his head and make a grunting sound..Just like me, he hates not to know something that he knows he knows! He is a handful but is getting easier to handle everyday. It takes so much patience to be a stay at home mom, I never realized it, going to work is WAY easier. I used to think the opposite was true, boy was I wrong.

Kaden can't get anymore precious but he does all the time. He is always saying, "MOM?" I say what Kaden, he says, "I love you" sometimes he even does it to Colton and Austin which is rare cuz they are always picking on the litttle guy. He was saying his prayers last night and said thank you to god for turning on the snow! He blesses everything that comes to his mind and loves going to church. Well at least there is one saint in our family!

Steve and I are well. We had a great 2007 and look forward to the many joys that I am sure 2008 will bring. I am actually don't fall off the chair really enjoying being at home with my children these days....I am more calmer and content with it for some reason. I have been doing a lot of cooking and baking, over the holiday I baked everyday...well now that explains my 5lbs I can't get off... I have been decorating my house well the basement, refinishing furniture all of Austin's bedroom set which is 9 pieces...it came out great I will send pictures, making curtains for my living room because I couldn't find any that were long enough that weren't $250 a panel, I think they turned out gorgeous....well see what Steve's mom says...she is the real test cuz she is the one who taught me how to sew in the right direction..DUH! I was having troubles with my machine and she came over to check it out well I was putting the fabric in the wrong way...I didn't know I could actually do that. Well I better get on with my day. Enjoy!

Gettin better its only been a little over 2 weeks now!

Halloween was so much fun...The boys dressed up like pirates. All Colton wanted to wear was the pants, the headband and the earing, NO shirts nothing that came with the outfit. And as soon as Colton was dressed he ran with the neighbor kids and we had to go looking for him. Kade was so happy just to sit on the doorstep and hand out candy to everyone...We ran out of candy had over 200 pieces. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. Austin of course went out with his friends as a hippie and at his candy the first night. He is worse than the little ones.

The other day I took Colton and Kade to storytime at the library and the narrator dressed up as a grandma with a white wig. Colton was standing over me and he was eye level with my hair and was looking at my grey hairs obviously..I thought he was gonna blurt out..YOU HAVE THE SAME HAIR COLOR AS MY MOM! That was my clue to make my appt. with the hairdresser for a highlight. Wow close call on that!

I have been having to hide all the halloween candy from even myself now...And the last place I hid it was over the microwave so Colton couldn't get at it. Well he found a way, he brought over the bar stool and then set the step stool on top of the bar stool for more height. He didn't even fall that looked so unstable if you asked me. He always shares a piece with Kade when he gets his counterband though....so Kade will get in trouble too!

The other night the babies and I were taking a tub together...and I noticed my legs were getting to look less desirable as I am gracefully aging....NOT and I said to myself, "I am getting OLD", Colton then said and gonna die Mom and live with Heavenly Father? I said no honey I am justing getting older, like Grandma Barbara. OH well when you die, I want to go with you to live with Heavenly Father.....Kade goes not me, Dad and I will stay home.

Kade of course is still the same cute adorable little guy.

The picture download was not working before!

Maybe not once a week

I thought I would wait until Halloween but I said I would try to do this at least once a week, that might be a stretch though. Anyway....nothing really exciting to report lately...except Kade's choice words for few new things he has discovered. I bought a step stool so I can reach the shelves in my closet that are 10 feet high...why would any builder make shelves that high..its so frustrating trying to put stuff up there then need it again the next day of course being the 5'3" that I am...Well Kade got onto the stool and noticed my jewelry box and jewels...he was in his glory. Donning everything that he saw that sparkled or not! He was yelling for me to show me all the "jerley" he found. So now we ask him to say jerley all the time..its really precious.


Austin will soon get his cast of but not soon enough if you ask him. He is anxious to play basketball again but we are not sure if that is gonna happen. We are going to sign him up for guitar lesson I think soon so he has some extra curricular activity to entertain him.

Colton loves preschool...this week they have their halloween party he is gonna be a pirate..but has changed his mind several times already...too bad so sad the costume is bought..they are both going to be pirates..they are fighting over who is going to wear the earring though. I might have to break down and buy 2!
Kade crys when we won't paint his nails...a bit worried there!

Well we just got our itinerary for our 3rd cruise of the year....Mexican Riveria on December 1st for a week. We are excited about it and hope that the weather is better there than it will be here...With over 8 inches of snow we are going to be in for a long winter I believe.

Well enough for now...I think I might hire Julie to do this for me...just kidding

It has been 10 months since last Blog!

Well all is well now life sure has been hectic lately. I have not really anything exciting or earth shattering to report...just a few updates... We moved in May, we love our new home, but it takes so much time to get things the way you want and need. We have been busy traveling this summer with and without the boys...enjoying the funny and not so funny things they say to us each and every day!

Last night I was making dinner and Kade was sitting at the island on the barstool and he asked me, "what we havin tonight mom?" So grown up! Kade is an absolute angel, he says I love you all the time, wants you to hold and kiss him....well the other one, read on to see how he is

I told Colton we had to go to church the other morning so he needed to get dressed, he said, "church sucks" so matter of factly.
Colton had pictures today at school, he so did NOT want to wear his church clothes obviously, but he did.......however he wanted to wear his hair in a mohawk no negotiating there he won! Colton is truly me in every way except appearance. He is very sensitive to smells, noises, doesn't stop talking, wants to do it his way ONLY, he is never wrong, doesn't mind, yells and uses any word that is inappropriate that he has heard from anyone...especially Austin whom he truly adores and looks up too!

Austin is for sure a 13 1/2 year old teenager....he is very sweet too when he wants to something, I mean when he wants to be.....He was playing football till he fractured his growth plate in his right ankle, now he is mastering the Playstation. He likes not having any chores although the dr. said in a week he can start to walk on it so he will be helping out again around here...Grandma Barbara's visit sure did spoil him. He has no one to do stuff for him now...cuz I have plenty to keep me busy.

I really like the idea of this blog thing, but I think I like better reading what other people write rather than write my own stuff. Needless to say that is why you haven't seen anything in 10 months. Its really like a journal entry so I better keep up with it either in my journals or here...Cuz you don't remember what these kids say from day to day..cuz the new things are so frequent!

Doing well

Austin started taking Spanish classes and each day he comes home trying to talk to me...he tells me that I have to communicate with him in Spanish from now on....Well he only know like 10 words so there won't be no communicating there huh? He got his report card and got all straight A's expect for a B in Science I asked him why and he said that on a test someone asked him something so was talking and the teacher ripped up the test for a score of ZERO....Well that is what happens when you are in the real world I told him. He was at the Orthodontist yesterday and you have to sign in for your appt. and the nurse told Austin that this girl signed in after him and she saw his name on the log and said, "Austin Hallows, he's HOT!" He was like doing some funky dance saying I'm HOT, I'm HOT....he is his father for sure!

Colton's vocabulary is amazing....some frequent words he is now trying to incorporate into his speech. Impossible, Awesome, and FREAKing. He says them somewhat in the correct speech pattern but you understand what he means most of the time. Kade and Colton are in the is jungle gym play class together and Colton took to it immediately...running the class, the most vocal, tells stories about everything the teacher mentions...etc...Kade, he stood on the side lines with his hands in his jean pockets watching ever move that was made...he wasn't too interested in participating...but when he did Colton made sure that he told the teacher to NOT hurt his brother, Kade.

Steve renched his back the other day...He said, "I sure do miss your mom's backrubs now". He couldn't even get out of bed. I had to call the Dr. and have them call in meds so he could move. He is up and moving but not at full capacity yet. He had a chiro appt. today and a massage scheduled for tommorrow so we will see how the weekend ends up so we can go have some fun in the snow.

I am doing fine not as busy right now thankfully since I am taking January and February off from work for a break. I am enjoying my boys more and more each day...They are always making me smile or laugh at the funny or not so funny things they do. Colton wants to snowboard everyday although I don't let him since its been only 10 degrees for the past 10 days. It feels like the winters in CT that is why I left there in the first place. I hate it! I prefer it when it snows at least its pretty and cold.

2006 Christmas was Wonderful and White!

It was a great day even down to the 6 or so inches of snow we had. Colton said awesome to everything he got but surely his favorite item was his last minute request for a red snowboard. Well he got it and has taken it everywhere with him even to bed one night. The day after christmas we took him to the park and he proceeded to snowboard down the sledding hill that everyone else was sledding down. He has NO fear whatsoever and told me to watch out he was gonna go over the jump. His tongue was half hanging out of his mouth, he was full on ready to snowboard away. He is so much like me its too funny...after he opened each gift he took it to the place it needed to go..he got some computers games..he said, mom should I put these in the office? Ok sure son go ahead. Then he got some new underwear and he went right upstairs and put them in his underwear drawer. Carbon Copy Colton. I had rough night of sleep the other night and was sleeping on the couch in the morning and Colton comes down full of energy and yells MOM...I had my face under the covers and I looked up and said with a scowl apparently, WHAT? He gave me the meanest look and said, "Grouchy!!!!" and walked away.

Kade was just happy to open the gift not really that excited as to what he got or not. Opening the gifts were truly enough. Yesterday he bit Colton for taking his candy cane and I put him in timeout strapped in his booster seat, but forgot to make sure the booster was strapped to the chair, he got off the dining chair and was walking around with the booster seat strapped to him...I had to put my face in a towel to not laugh at him it was hysterical.

Austin got everything he wanted on his list except a watch he said..not bad since his b-day is in only 2 more months..at least there is something left for me to buy. He has been snowboarding and absolutely loves it. Of course he is so athletic and great, but he needs a haircut so bad I hate looking at him...as you will see from the pics I post. He is surely getting to be a teenager, we are gonna go at it one day he is sooooooooooooo sassy.

Santa Clause bought our family 2 snowmobiles for christmas. We went out the other day and I almost tipped it over on us....don't panic mom I am still learning its just like driving an ATV or motorcycle, its just getting used to it.

Getting ready for Christmas

I can't believe I have a second or two to write something. We got 14 inches of snow the other day and it looks really promising for a white very white christmas. I am excited for that. I love that I can write to everyone all at once so productive for those that are so busy like me. Its hasn't slowed down for me in the work arena and it usually does around the holidays....I guess the world is changing unfortunately in that area. Well an update on the boys...yesterday I was cleaning up the kitchen and the boys got out some blue cheese dressing and some carrots and sat under the stools at the kitchen island and I said what are you two doing?, Colton replies with, "we are having a carrot party mom" oh....ok

Then it was a rare occassion but I had a bad morning our pipes froze and I had no water, real estate deals going crazy and I wanted to crawl under a rock and hide but knowing that my house my fall or burn down if I did that I just took a quick cat nap on the couch. Colton apparently only took a quick short nap too because no sooner did I start to drift off, did I hear dishes being put away in the kitchen...I opened one eye to peek at the clock it wasn't Austin yet so I just drifted back to sleep thinking this was my imagination.....NOPE I woke up and Colton said, "mom look what I did? He unloaded the entire dishwasher and showed me where he put everything...only one thing was in the wrong place I couldn't believe. He is so amazing its scary to me. Next he will be saying I just drove Austin to school for you mom....

Well stay tuned for the next adventure...will return shortly I promise.

Thanksgiving

Was uneventful...we went out to eat cuz I hate to cook and it seemed like a project I didn't want to endure and it was a holiday, don't I get those days off in my job? It was a buffet but the boys each wanted us to hold them so how do you hold a kid and get two plates full of food? Well we never figured it out either but, we did manage ok. I am still full from the days events but at 6pm last night we all were like, are you hungry? me too now what? Cereal?

Steve and I decided to try getting up at 5am to be at the stores but 6am....we made it by 7am and it was so crowded and apparently everyone was so excited to get up and spend their money that they forgot to put on deodorant. There was that many people and it stunk!!!!! Yuck, I said honey its not worth it to save $5.00 here and there...I save us so much money all year long lets go out to eat. We made it home with some good deals but I am done with that ordeal for the rest of my life!

The boys are wonderful, messy, cute, a pain, hard, sweet, and expensive...Austin costs us a fortune this year. He wants expensive stuff these days. We he deserves it. He got all A's on his report card 3.8 GPA and his team won their Football Championship for league. He is one heck of a kid I say! Plus not to mention he is so good looking, of course he doesn't want his haircut lately its the style or so he says...I think he is much cuter with short hair.

Colton is a pill, wait I mean Colton needs to be on pills. He wears me out. He is so cute yet such a devil at the same time...I dont' understand it. I know mom he is me...Steve always says don't get mad at him Leah, he is you in my body!

Kaden is our angel he is sweeter than any of my boys. Now his new thing is he knows how to take the childproof lock off the doorknobs and comes in our room in the middle of the night saying I want to stay in your bed for just a wittle bit! I promise!

Cooking skills

Well it seems as though Colton has gotten some cooking skills that I didn't have nor want. Maybe from the other side of the family. What 3 1/2 year old do you know who can cook? He has made when I was up in the shower, waffles with butter and syrup for himself and Kade, oatmeal for himself and kade, a milkshake with the blender and most recently he made popcorn and didn't even burn it. He always wants to bake something....I have to constantly watch everything he does, he is so destructive sometimes.

Halloween is around the corner and Colton can't decide what he wants to be but I have decided for him...He wears all the costumes we have around the house sometimes changing them 3 times a day. He will be Buzz Lightyear and Kaden will be Woody from Toy Story. Colton put on his Buzz costume, got on the kitchen table and proceeded to fly literally tried to fly...He soon discovered he couldn't but that didn't stop him.

Number 36 Fullback Wasatch Wasps

Austin loves sports more than anything else I think...and so does his brother. He had a great game with a touchdown and a interception... He is doing well in school too with all A's and one B+ which he is trying hard to bring up but his forgetfulness gets him in trouble. He is so darn handsome as you can see from the pic well maybe not. Everyday he comes up to me and measures how tall he is getting anxiously waiting to bypass my height. Sooner than later its gonna happen...he has only an inch to go, its not saying much that he is gonna be taller than me but I don't let him in on that secret! He has size 10 in men's shoes now....Huge freakin boats. Its funny to watch the little boys put on his shoes and try to walk around they look like they could ski in them. Well off to do something while they are all asleep.

Kaden says the funniest things now

Where is Colton? He just couldn't get enough books in the bed that night.
















Kaden got stung by a bee today and he told me that he doesn't want the bee to eat him!

That band aid picture is one from another boo boo he received when he bumped his lip...insists on a band aid for all ouches!

I asked him how much he loved me and he told me "Too much"

Kaden told me that he was sick the other night while I was doing our rock a bye ritual and I said what is sick? my cheek I just laughed and laughed he is such a joy of child.

When you ask him to do something he says, OK in the most tender voice its precious.

Life in the fast lane

Colton loves his preschool. Kade always wants to go with him. The other day at the table eating lunch Colton said, "Cambrey showed me her underwear at preschool today!", oh really what did you say?", I asked. He replied, thank you!" He is a trip I swear I just can't explain him. Austin is doing much better with his injuries. He had his first football game, he didn't get to play a lot but his first play was an interception and he ran it back for 10 yards breaking a few tackles along the way. He is such a handsome loving boy. He loves school they girls are starting to surface on little notes I find in his pockets. "who do you like? Call me Jordan 654-1234 oh my!

Well today was the first day of school for Colton. He was all prepared ready to go with his backpack and 4 popsicles in there which I had to promptly remove or the teachers might not like me too much the first day. I think he was worried they would not have snacks there or something. Clearly 2 hours was not enough time for me, but he enjoyed it.
