I wouldn't call it tattling, more like observing and reporting. It actually helps me out a lot! An extra pair of eyes on Coleson never hurts! -Weston is so loving and sweet, and we just love that little guys so much!

Coleson at 4 years old -He is still very curious and strong willed, but he's starting to understand that his actions has consequences, and definitely has started to think twice. -He is very unpredictable: he will be scared to death of something one minute, but go try something even more crazy or dangerous the next. Still haven't figured this guy out. -He LOVES garbage trucks. Obsessed would be an understatement. He stalks our garbage man. -His favorite color is STILL orange. :) -His vocabulary is very impressive and he blows me away with some of the things he comes up with. That little brain is always working! -He weighs 52 pounds, wears a size 13 shoe, wears a 6/7 shirt and size 6 pants. -He loves to swim and is a little fishy! -He is the best snuggler and crawls in bed with me every morning. LOVE our cuddle time! -This boy can not keep shoes on. Drives me nuts! -His favorite TV show is Doc McStuffins. -He asks questions all.day.long. -He loves to pester all of his sibblings. He is suck a stinker! -He started riding his bike without training wheels a few weeks before he turned 4. -He randomly calls me or his siblings "hot lips". Not sure where he got it, but it's really cute. -He loves sleepovers at grandma's house. -He still overwhelms me every single day. -Coleson has a really big heart, and he just melts mine. He is such a handfull, but I wouldn't trade him for anything!

Happy Birthday to our twinkies!

Our babies turned four a few days ago! They were so excited to celebrate with a camping party, and it was a lot of fun!

Raspberry Festival

Carter did so well playing in his first Raspberry Festival, and he had a great time doing it! We started out the day with a game in the pouring down rain, but the rain slowed down quickly, and we got to enjoy the rest of our day. They don't keep score in Carter's age group, but he make 8 baskets during his 4 games, which he was very happy with! We had a blast ha

Camping in Eastern Washington

        The boys were so excited about their beach find...a dead, half eaten, rotten fish. Thanks boys!

                             The kids and dads had so much fun on the raft that we got in Chelan.

                                 The 3 little ones were so tired after a long day on the boat.

                                                                    Our buddies

                                                    Jace, Megan, Ryan, Brenyn and Kyler

                                                                             Us

                                          The girls were so proud of their matching shirts

                                                 Catching crawdads with dad at Pearrygin

                                                 Coleson LOVED swimming in the lake

They started with a crawdad pot, but Nick decided that diving down in 25 feet of water might be better. His ears were seriously bleeding, but he caught a lot of crawdads!

                                                           We had so much fun tubing!
                                           

             These girls have been friends their whole lives and always have so much fun together.

Me and my big dude...this was right before the tube was sucked under the water and we got dunked.

Swimming Lessons

The kids loved swimming lessons again this year! This was Coleson and Weston's first year with teacher Linda, and they listened and swam like little champs! Coleson always has me a little worried, but he proved me wrong and excelled!

Our Soccer Man

Carter had so much fun doing spring soccer. He had his best buddy and his cousin on his team, which made it pretty fun! He loved being forward and averaged about 4 goals a game. (I know this because he quizzes me on how many he scored at the end of the game, and I get in big trouble if I don't know!) It was so fun watching him improve and fine tune his skills. Good Job Buddy!

I need to be better!

Most of you who know me would laugh if you heard me say that I need to be better about taking pictures. Don't get me wrong, I take a ton, but I sometimes miss out on the little things. I also realized that Nick and I don't take many pictures with just one kid at a time. I came across this picture of me and my sweet boy, and I just love it so much. I need to be better about capturing some of the small things and not just the big stuff. In this picture we were on a wagon that was being pulled by draft horses during Carter's rodeo at school back in March. I don't even care that he's a little blurry...I just love that we were together and having a good time. Stay tuned for more pictures of the "little things".

Our crazy, sweet, funny, goofy, smart, kind, athletic, busy little boy is now a big seven year old and is also a big 1st grader! It makes me so sad that it has gone so fast, but I'm also excited for all of the fun times ahead! He was the perfect little poser and I did a great job cooperating for his pictures. I love you bud! Happy Birthday!
