Updates

So the summer has gone by so fast, I haven't even updated our blog. We have had a busy but fun summer.

We took Colton up to Mirror Lake for the 4th of July and he had such a blast! He loved being outside and able to play in the dirt. We took a walk around the lake and he even watched daddy and uncle Dallas fish. It was a great day for us to get out and enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful weather.

For the 24th of July(Utah's Pioneer Day) my mom and I took Colton to the zoo for the first time. It was fun to see how curious he was about everything there. He loved the monkey's. He would just point and laugh at them. It was fun to see his face light up with each new animal we would see. We ended our trip to the zoo with a ride on the train or the "choo choo" as Colton would call it. He was a little too tired and almost fell a sleep.

In August we welcomed Zoey to our family. She is Colton's kitten. These two are so fun to watch. They chase each other around the house all day. The dogs were not too happy with the addition at first, but they all get along just fine now.

The annual bowhunt was at the end of August. It is normally a boys only trip that Brandon, his dad and his cousin Dallas go on. This year Colton and I joined them along with Dallas's wife Andrea. We bought a little trailer for the the trip, and all the camping we plan to do next year. Colton had a big time being outside playing in the dirt, riding on the 4-wheeler, and being outside all day. Unfortunately, no one got a deer or an elk, but we all had fun anyway.

Our summer has been busy but very fun. Colton is getting big and finally starting to do more than just point and grunt at everything. He is saying many things and learning new words almost everyday and even chooses to use them every once in a while. His new favorite thing is Thomas the Train(choo choo as he calls it). He also loves to play with his cars and trucks. He loves to show everyone where his eyes, nose and ears are. He even shows me where they are on Zoey. He normally pokes her in the eye when doing this but she doesn't seem to mind.

We are getting ready for Halloween next, then in November Colton and I are going to Tulsa to see the family. We are looking forward to seeing all the family and having a good time. I will try harder to keep the blog updated so everyone can see more of Colton.
