Baseball and a black eye

Whew....Summer sure is here!! We've been enjoying the warm weather each night with lots of time outside playing baseball, Colton riding his bike and watering the garden...lots since it is so dry! We are thankful for the warm weather but sure could use a few rainy days!

I am now 18 weeks pregnant- crazy how fast this time around is going! I haven't taken a belly picture yet, mostly because either it will be me taking it of myself or Colton trying to attempt to capture me, yet alone my growing belly since Mike is busy working out in the fields.  I hope to do one soon.

 Colton reminds me often my belly is getting big. He is going to be such a good big brother... he is very excited and loves to practice with the new baby that started at Dian's recently.  I walked in yesterday while Dian was rocking the baby to sleep and found Colton in his own rocker, rocking a doll to sleep while letting it use his blankie. So cute :)


We went to a grill out Memorial Day weekend and Colton ended up with this....
his first black eye!

Above was the morning after and below was a few days after. 

Poor guy was playing with his friend and happened to get too close while his friend was swinging a baseball bat.  Luckily, it was just a black eye and nothing else! My stomach dropped instantly- this was the first thing that has happened to him other than little things.  I am sure it is not last time I will get that feeling having a son!  Especially one that is scared of nothing and always is going.


The scene at our house nightly..... throwing the ball up and hitting it up the hill. I should count some time how many trips he makes up and down that a night. If only I had that much energy :)

Birthday Boy

Saturday was Colton's 3rd birthday. We celebrated at our house with both of our families and had lots of fun!

 He got TONS of fun presents and has been busy playing with them this week!



I think the big boys were excited for new toys too...

After presents came cake and ice cream...and a little boy that HATES when people sing happy birthday- especially to him!  You would think he would have grown out of this by now but he still hates it with a passion. Or maybe it is just our singing? :)
Lastly, we had a baseball pinata to go with our theme. We weren't sure where to hang it around the house without breaking something so it worked to just put it on the floor and let them have a hack at it...



 

Thank you to everyone for coming, bringing gifts and sharing this special night with us! The past 3 years have gone by so fast, we can't wait for many more!

Yum, Yum!

On pinterest I found a recipe for smoothies that Colton and I tried out last night with our new magic bullet.  Which, by the way, is SUPER easy to use!


We just threw in some sliced strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and a sliced banana. Then mixed in vanilla yogurt and some milk.  Whizzzz them up and you have a super treat! It doesn't matter if you use fresh or frozen fruit, so I went with the frozen that would keep longer.

 He LOVED them so much that when we walked in the door from daycare tonight, he went straight to the freezer and wanted to make one for supper :)

Tuckered out

Combining is hard work! I went to take them lunch last weekend and found this...



He did a great job riding with Mike for a few hour before I showed up. That little seat is perfect for him to hang out with dad!
