HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLTON

Today is Colton's 14th Birthday...
I cannot believe that he is 14!

Colton is an amazing son, I love him so much. He is so kind, talented, thoughtful, creative and smart. He brings so much joy and happiness into our home. It has been so much fun to watch him grow and mature into a handsome young man. I am so proud of him and the choices that he makes in his life. He is a good example to his younger brothers, and he is always respectful of his Dad and I.

These are some of my favorite photos of Colton...

It is hard to believe that he was ever that little.


Colton LOVES football. He made the Jr High team this year.


Happy Birthday Colton!!! I love you so much.

Back to School

It has been a very long time since my last post. Summer is a very busy time and I have a hard time updating the blog. Well school has started again, and I have had a really difficult time this year watching my boys go off to school. Time just goes by way too fast. I wish that I could slow things down and even push a pause button sometimes.
Colton started the eighth grade this year at Rocky Mountain Jr. High. He loves school and has been counting down the days for school to start. He tried out for the football team this year and he made it!!! I am so excited to be able to go and watch the games.

Cord is in the 2nd grade at Hooper Elementary. He is so excited because he is in the same class with all of his buddies. He loves spending time with his friends and that is why he is so excited to be back in school. Cord is playing soccer this fall and is looking forward to football next year.

Cooper is a big sixth grader at Hooper Elementary. He loves his teacher and talks about her all of the time. He too is excited to have a lot of his friends in his class. Cooper is playing football and he loves it. He had mixed emotions about school starting again. He spends most of the summer working side by side with his Grandpa Dave and I think that he is really going to miss being with him. I think that Grandpa is going to miss him too.

First Day of School

Cael started kindergarten today. WOW... I didn't think that it would be this hard to see my baby go off to school. He has been my shadow for the past five years. He would follow me from room to room, carrying a bag of toys with him. I have loved every minute of it.

He has a great teacher, Mrs. Cragun. He was so excited to go today and he kept reassuring me that the time would go by fast, and that he would be home real quick. He asked me if I was going to cry and I told him no that I would hold it together until after I left the school. I made it to the car before the tears started to flow. If only I had that pause button.
