What's the opposite of skinny dipping?

So, I'm sitting in the living room enjoying a relaxing evening watching Paul Sr. yell at Paul Jr. on American Chopper, when all of the sudden I hear Taylor yell from the bathroom "BRANDON, COME HERE!".

From the sound of her voice and the fact that she never calls me by my first name, I thought for sure she must have found the hot blonde that I had stuffed in the closet or something. So I go in there and this is what I see...



...A little boy, covered in the spaghettios that he had for dinner earlier that night, sitting in a bathtub full of water WITH HIS CLOTHES ON!

Taylor had started his bath water and walked in the other room for a second. That's apparently how long it took him to get the idea of crawling in the tub for a quick dip. He has the right idea, it's just that he forgot an important step in taking a bath. Oh well, at least Taylor didn't find that hot blonde.

I wish I could be like Colton and just go about life without worrying about the little things.

Daddy Time

Colton LOVES his daddy and wants to do everything his dad does. All day long all I hear is "dad dad dad". He will bring me the phone and say "dadada". As soon as Brandon gets home he runs to him and says "hi dad". I love to watch them together they are already so much a like.

Nap Time?

I try to make sure that Colton gets a nap or a least some down time everyday. On Monday he looked tired so i got his bed ready with his blanket and bear that he won't sleep without. It was quiet so I thought that he had gone right to sleep. After about five minutes I herd him laughing, I went to back to his room and could hear him jumping on the bed. I grabbed my camera and this is what I got.

After this he went right down and took a good nap. I guess he wasn't quite ready for his nap.

Sand Moving Day

On Saturday, we had to go over and help our friends, the Chatwin's, move a dump truck load of sand. They are building a playground area in their backyard for their daughter, Alyssa. They had the dump truck unload the sand in their driveway and we, meaning Hogge, Brian and I, had to shovel it into wheel barrows and wheel barrow it to the backyard.

While I was busy doing this, Colton was having a blast playing in the sand, riding a four wheeler and riding in a power wheels jeep that Alyssa was driving. I think he was having a little more fun than I was.

Overall, I guess it
was a pretty fun day.

Hello All

So I thought that i would start a blog. With friends and family all over the world, I thought it would be a good way for everyone to check in with us. I will try and keep up with this and always have new photos of Colton and our family posted.

Our family is doing great. We are very busy with work and Colton. We have finally decided what we are going to do with the backyard so Brandon has started on that. Colton loves the outdoors so we are hoping that it does not take too long, so we can enjoy the summer in the yard together. Colton loves to do whatever his dad is doing, its cute to watch him follow his dad around the house saying "dad dad". So it should be fun to watch my boys working in the yard together.
