Granny's Birthday

We enjoyed a birthdy dinner with Granny at Nana and Big Daddy's house. Colton loves helping Granny blow out her birthday candles.

And he also loved eating some of it as well.

Cruisin with Nana and Big Daddy!

Colton loves for Big Daddy to take him on the 4-wheeler and for Nana to drive him around on the lawn mower.

Typical 2 Year Old!

Throwing a fit before we left to go to the Gordo Football Game last Friday night...

Our Trip to Atlanta

Back in September, Chris, Colton and I all headed to Atlanta for the night to visit the Aquarium. It was a quick trip but was so much fun!! We got to Atlanta around dinner time and since neither one of us is familiar with Atlanta, we decided to grab dinner and just eat at the hotel and hang out there. We decided to try The Varsity, one of the oldest drive in's in the United States. We had a variety of things to try: Hot Dog, Grilled Cheese, Onion Rings, Hamburger, French Fries and an Orange Frozen Drink. The food wasn't anything special, but we were glad that we tried it at least once.

Monday morning, we woke up and headed down to the Atlanta Aquarium. Colton was sooo excited!

One of my favorite pictures of him. His smile is great!

We saw so many neat things and Colton loved all the fish!

There was a large area were you could sit in front of the glass tank and just watch the fish. It was huge and was probably one of my favorite things that they had there. The picture didn't turn out that great. :(

Love the look on both of their faces.

Mommy and Colton.. Terrible picture but one of the only ones we got taken together.

Colton LOVED the fish slide! I think daddy did as well.

All in all, it was a great trip and we can't wait to go back again!

Hiding from Mommy

This is Colton's new hiding place when he wants to hide from us.. He usually gets right in the corner of the room in between the nightstand and the wall. He thinks he is a sneaky little boy!

Chicken on a Stick

My son may just be the next new inventor!! Check out his new invention... Chicken on a Stick! He was even impressed... Haha!

School Bite

Colton and another little girl were fighting over a toy at school (the 2nd day he went) and she just deciding she would bite him. Poor thing was so upset and she even left a mark that lasted about a day.

Sunday Church & Ice Cream Fellowship

Last Sunday, our church had a 4pm Sunday Singing with an Ice Cream Fellowship following the singing. Our nursery lady wasn't working that afternoon, so Colton got to come to big church during the singing. I was a little worried on how he would do but he did GREAT! He sat there the entire time and just watched everyone and colored in his Veggie Tale coloring book. Chris sang the last song and he wanted to go and join him on the stage, so instead of creating a meltdown, we went outside until daddy finished singing. After the singing, we all went to the fellowship hall for Ice cream. Colton loved his Vanilla Blue Bell Ice Cream Cone!

1st Alabama Tailgate of 2010

We took Colton to his 1st Tailgate of 2010 to the Alabama vs. San Jose State Game in September. He loved running around, eating snacks and playing with his toys. The weather was sooo nice and it was a perfect day to spend on the Quad.

This is what happens at our tailgate... Colton having LOTS of fun with Heath, Trenton and Daddy!

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!

After playing and snacking on some cheese puffs, Colton was out!!
