Life with Toddler and Baby Y!!: July 2012

As many of you know, we have LOT to update...but one thing at a time, and time to play catch up on a few fun family updates! (This blog layout has changed and is SUPER annoying to update with pictures so I have been too frustrated to finish this for months now!)

Back in early 2012, we had some issues with Colton getting out of bed in the middle of the night and wanting to get up or into bed with us. We explained that he had to stay in his bed until the sun came up. He then decided that when he was ready to get up, HE made the sun come up so he could get up. It is adorable logic. He still makes us smile when he tells me when I go into his room or he comes into our's, "Look! I made it sunny!" Sometimes he adds, "God and I made it sunny," as we may have tried to explain that Colton isn't entirely that powerful.

My First Rodeo

Could he be having more fun on this pony ride?!

We took Colton to his first Bull Riding event at the end of April. He had a great time on the free bouncy slide and such. We stood him up on a barrel to watch the event and he kept saying, "They might come back," after the riders fell off the bull over and over. He danced along to the fun music playing, cracking up those around us. When we were putting him in his car seat to go home he said, "I had fun with you Mummy." Heart melting cute!! The next night Colton told Justin, "You are the best Poppa!"

Watching the bull riders. This was also his dancing platform.

Everyone loves a bouncy house.

Very serious watching!

Mother's Day Sweetness

On Mother's Day morning he came into our bedroom, climbed in the bed, hugged me and said, "You are the best Mummy in all of the land!"Without prompting, *gush gush* The "in all of the land" is the best part, much fancier than the best ever or the best in the world. :-)

Summer

Summer has been super humid and hot. We are not fans but try to find fun inside or outside when we can.
