Pumpkin Patch

Today we took Colton to the pumpkin patch and Uncle Markie took pictures. Colton loved all the pumpkins and was upset when he couldn't lift them because they were too heavy. In other news, Charles got released today so he can finally go back to work tomorrow. He also got his staples out and doesn't have to wear his brace all the time anymore.

Halloween and our little Mickey!

Here is Mickey! We took him to the fire station haunted house on Sat. night. We didn't take him in the haunted house although he probably would have liked it. We just took him there to see all the other kids in costumes. There was a group of Asian kids. They were teenagers and they were taking pictures with Colton. The lady they were with explained that they were exchange students and this was their first halloween. Charles said Colton is already an internet sensation in China. Oh and here is a picture of his big boy fire bed.

Long time, no blog

Well, it's been a very busy week. I have had numerous meeting and a crazy big project at work. Plus Charles had back surgery on Monday so that's been a little rough. Things are slowing down now so that is good. Tonight, the Chargers play Alvin for their New Coming. Kind of like a homecoming except they haven't had anyone graduate yet so no one can come home. I am looking forward to it because the weather is nice like it should be for football season. Colton is talking quite a bit now. Still one word sentences, but talking none the less. He's pretty much the cutest kid ever.

We Won!

Clear Springs beat Clear Creek!!!! We are so excited. It was a big upset for Creek. We actually have a chance at making the playoffs!!! That would be so awesome. Charles is having surgery Monday. I will keep you all posted.

New Kids on the Block Concert Review

Last night, we went to the New Kids on the Block concert and it was so much fun! They played all the oldies and it was just an overall good concert! We were supposed to be sitting all the way up top, but when we got there, an usher stopped us and asked if we wanted to sit closer to the stage. Of course we did! We moved to section 103 which was a lot closer to the stage! We had a great view. I didn't bring my camera so I will have to post pictures when Stephanie and Heather send me theirs, but I have gotten some off of Chron.com. I give this concert ***** (Five Stars!)

NKOTB!!!

Tonight my mom, sister, Tiffany, Heather, Patty and myself are going to the New Kids on the Block concert! Just like we did in 1991! I am so excited!

New Video

Here is one of Colton's newest tricks. He can flip! And he loves to do it. I also posted a picture of his new pajamas with Brobie on them. He loves them!

In other news....

The Chargers beat Galveston Ball Friday night! We are 2 -1 in district!! YEAH!

Busy Week for the little monster

Colton has had a busy week. First, we are totally off the bottle and it was not at all a challenge. We basically cut out the morning and night bottle at the same time and he wasn't fazed at all. It was really easy. Secondly, he slept in a big boy toddler bed for the first time last night. We have been having a horrible time with his sleeping so we decided to make a change and see how he did. He did pretty good. He woke up once, but it wasn't the screaming, can't calm him down waking up. He just went back to sleep. Let's hope this continues. Other than that, he has been the happiest, silliest baby ever the last few weeks. He's awesome.

Galveston

We went down to Galveston on Sunday and it is pretty messed up. On the way there, we saw boats just in the middle of the median on the freeway and trash was everywhere. A lot of places were open though and we went to Rainforest Cafe and had some dessert. Here are some photos of that.

Also, Colton has taken to blogging as well. I have caught him on numerous occasions playing on the computer. He is very serious about it too.

Yucky Bottle

Colton thinks it's hilarious when we tell him his bottle is yucky and he needs to get rid of it. Here is a video of him laughing when I am telling him this.

This past weekend we went to Austin to my cousin Tony's wedding. The wedding was on Sunday so Charles stayed home so he could go to work and football on Monday. The Chargers won their first district game on Friday by the way! Anyway, back to the wedding. My mom, dad, Colton and I left on Saturday. We went to the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner on Saturday night. The dinner was at this really nice winery in Driftwood. Then on Sunday we went to the wedding. The wedding ceremony took place in this little outdoor chapel in Driftwood. It was very nice. The reception was held at Union Park on 6th St. on the roof. The weather was perfect for an outdoor reception. Colton had a blast. The wedding was an asian theme so there were round lanterns everywhere and he thought they were balls so he was in heaven. The food was wonderful and the cake was so chocolaty! Once Colton went to sleep I just laid him on the lounge area and he slept. It was nice. On the way home on Monday, we stopped at the Bluebell Factory in Brenham because Monique had never been there and Colton enjoyed his ice cream! We had a nice weekend but we were glad to be home and see daddy and the fur babies!
