Colton's Pictures

Colton got a digital camera for Christmas and has been taking ALOT of pictures--I downloaded 63 the other day! ha ha But he is getting really good! Here are 2 that he took last week.

Merry Christmas!

Our Christmas morning started about 3:30 am with Colton in his room with the door wide open playing video games! We told him more than once to turn it down---around 4:15 Garrett woke up--and then it was over and we were pretty much up for the day! Colton got the IPOD he has been wanting and Garrett was of course more interested in the paper.

Colton's Baptism

Colton and Uncle Seth

Colton was baptized and confirmed by his Uncle Seth. Seth did such a great job!! Colton was so excited to be baptized! Grandma Kathy, Grandpa Scott, Grandma Vicki, and Grandpa Bill all participated in this very special day for Colton! Colton's friend Kaylee Sandberg played the piano and did such a fabulous job! Afterwards everyone came back to our house for lunch. Everything turned out really nice!

Dress up!

The kids didn't have school today so we decided to go down to The Gateway! We went to the Children's Museum for a few hours, then went and ate some pizza. We walked around for a little bit til we saw Ben and Jerry's--so we stopped in for some ice-cream.

Happy Halloween!

Here are the boys all dressed up for Halloween. Colton is a scary dead monster and Garrett is a skunk. That morning I helped with Colton's class party, we made spiders out of ding dongs and licorice--the kids had a great time! Later we did lots of trick or treating! Garrett loved the suckers!

Happy Birthday Colton!

Garrett wasn't taking his eye off Aunt Leslie's cake and ice-cream!

Colton turned 8 years old today! We had a party with about 12 kids. The kids started out with pizza and Cheetos---we then played some fun games, had cake and ice-cream and then opened presents. Colton got an XBOX 360 that he has wanted for a long time. I think the kids all had a fun time!

Garrett turns 6 months!!!

Today Garrett turned 6 months old! We decided to have a little party for him. We made chocolate cupcakes--and let Garrett eat his own. And as you can tell from the pictures....he liked it! He made a bit of a mess but had so much fun feeding himself. We will be having cake again in a few weeks when Colton turns 8!!!
