Shopping With Colton

Colton, Colton, Colton,

where to begin.......

This is a tidbit of what it is like shopping with our little Colton......
P.S.
I didn't know he filmed any of these until I checked my camera a few days later.....
Such a sweet surprise......

So cute Colt,

Thanks for including my butt in the "BIG BUTT" category.

Video #2......

I love how Colton is apparently in a mighty jousting dual with Aaron who has no clue.....

Did you notice how completely checked out we are, 

that's a survival technique we use to be able to mentally stay sane while shopping with our little man.

Some other highlights.......

This picture he kept telling Ava she was in jail and couldn't come out......so she just stood there......

even when I kept calling her to come out.  She wouldn't come out until Colton told her she could come out of jail.  Ugh.  I've lost all control.

This final video is the best.....

So, this is proof of how completely entertaining and exhausting Colton is,

how spoiled and undisciplined Ava is,

and how completely checked out Aaron and I are.

"Ava, don't make such a fuss"

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Bubble Baths :)

 What do you do in the summertime, when it's even to hot to go out and swim???

Play inside, in a cold bath of bubbles, and make bubble beards, of course!

Swimming Lessons :)

Ava just finished up her "wimming" lessons with Julianne and Miss Rhegan.

She did SO GREAT!  Julianne was the best teacher ever and now Ava knows to turn and swim to the edge if she ever falls in.  She is becoming quite a little fish :)  

Here's some pics from the week........

 Thanks Julianne, for your patience!

Mormon Lake

 Mormon Lake was a blast this year!

The kids were all old enough to compete in the gymkana and run around and play with minimal supervision ;)

And short of one incident involving the "billy goats" they did great!

Aaron and Brayden having some manly bonding time :)

 Gracie and her hero all dressed up for INDIAN DAY!

 Aunt Ta Ta and Parker boy hoopin and hollering at the awards banquet!

Woo Hoo!

 Gracie trying to steal Daddy's 1st place ribbon.

(He's smiling, but he was clinging tight to his award;)

 Ava right after she gave daddy her puppy dog eyes while saying, "Please horsey, Daddy...."

Guess who has her daddy wrapped around her little finger???

 Guess who has her big brother wrapped around her little finger, too???

 This is when Aaron and the boys won the team penning event together!

They were a little excited ;)

All in all it waas a supa dupa week and I can't wait until next year!

Yee Haw!!!

Sleeping Beauty

Gracie:  Daddy can I do your hair and makeup?

Aaron:  Sure sweetie, I'm just going to lay here with my eyes closed while you do it.

(I didn't even think his hair was long enough to put anything in it......my bad;) 

And yes........that is lip gloss shimmering in the light :)

Yet another reason why he's the best daddy ever!
