Chris on TBN

Check out these clips of Chris with Mike and Kelly Bowling on TBN.

Cute as a Button!!

Is he not just the cutest little boy ever??

Sunday Afternoon Fun.... Fountains!

Mom and I took Colton Sunday to the fountains around Northport and Tuscaloosa Sunday afternoon. We thought that he would just love them since he loves the swimming pool, however he wasn't too sure of them. He didn't want to get in the middle of them, BUT he did want to run all over the park!! He loves to play chase now so he wanted mommy to chase him that afternoon. We did get a few cute pictures of him in the fountains though.


Running through the fountains! Wide Open!


Checking the water out.

He found a cute little friend while we were playing

Cutest little boy ever!!!!!

Cartoons and Aunt Val

Last Friday, Aunt Valerie came into town to spend the day with Colton and I. While we were waiting on her to get in town, Colton and I watched his favorite cartoons. (Check out the pictures below) For lunch, we all got to meet Nana at Walton's for lunch. After lunch, we headed to Sam's and then we went for an afternoon swim at Big Daddy and Nana's house. Aunt Val couldn't believe how good Colton can swim. It really is amazing!! I've never seen a baby swim like he does.



Watching Cartoons... He loves Mickey Mouse, Handy Mandy, My Friends Tigger and Pooh, and pretty much anything else on the Disney Channel.

Corn on the Cob!

Colton loves corn on the cob. The other night for dinner, I fixed him some corn and he loved it. It literally was gone within about 2 minutes. He has finally gotten the hang of rotating it around to get every piece of corn.

1st Kids Meal

Colton has his first kids meal yesterday at Jason's Deli for lunch. He had a grilled cheese sandwich and fruit! I can't believe that he is old enough to order his own meal. He is growing up way too fast!

Isn't he just the cutest little boy!

Afternoon Walk and Pasta!

Colton and I went last night walking around the neighborhood with Sarah and precious little Brynn. Colton loves to ride in the car, so he was happy the entire ride and honked his horn a few times throughout the ride. This was our first trip around the neighborhood with Brynn and we are looking forward to many more walks and rides after dinner with her and Sarah.

For dinner last night I fixed Hambuger Helper for Colton and I since Chris was out of town in Nashville. Colton loved it!! He is doing great using his fork and spoon and he doesn't want mommy to help him at all. (We have noticed that he uses his left hand most of the time)

Chris went to Nashville to record a singing for TBN. It's going to be on Friday night if anybody wants to watch it.

Prayer Request

Please say a special prayer for my cousin, Jessica who is currently in Hungary. She has been sick for a few days and she needs prayer. Please visit her website here.

Backyard Fun on the 4th of July!

Chris, Colton and I had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. Chris was home Friday, so we all headed to town to do some shopping and to eat lunch at McAlisters Deli. Colton was wonderful the entire afternoon! We got a new umbrella stroller at Target and Colton loves to ride in it. He hates to ride in the other stroller, so now I'm actually looking forward to shopping trips with him more often. We decided on a pizza for dinner and Colton loved it as well! He is starting to be such a good eater! He will now try pretty much anything that we are eating.

Saturday, Chris had to sing in Phenix City at a 4th of July Singing, so Colton and I just stayed at the house and played outside all morning long. We finally decided to head over to Nana and Big Daddy's house Saturday afternoon to go swimming. Colton loved that idea! He loves to go swimming and he actually thinks that he is swimming by himself. He kicks his legs and arms the whole time he is in the water and he just smiles the entire time. We let him go under water a few times this weekend and he looks like a little fish swimming under water. He holds his breath when he goes under and just smiles so big when he comes up out of the water. I've never seen a baby swim like he can, it's amazing!! Mom cooked dinner
Saturday night and it was sooooo yummy!! BBQ Ribs, Squash, Potatoes, Corn and Cole Slaw!

Sunday morning, we headed to church for Sunday School. Poor Colton hates his Sunday School Class and starts screaming as soon as I walk in the door to the classroom. I didn't think I was going to be able to leave him in there because he was so upset, but Mrs. Cally came to the rescue and calmed Colton down so that I could go to my Sunday School Class. Hopefully this will get better. He is going through a phase where he wants mommy and daddy all the time! I love it at times, but it can be frustrating. I'm looking at putting him in a Mom's Morning Out Program this fall, so hopefully that will help. Cross your fingers for us!

Here are a few pictures from this past weekend. We all had so much fun!!
So much fun!
Playing outside on the 4th. Yes, I know he doesn't match but I didn't want him to get sunburned.


Just a swinging...

Checking out the sprinkler...Thinking if he should go play in it...


He decided to play in it after a while.

Playing with his water table.


He loves this dump truck!
