Birthday Boy!!

For Colton's 1st birthday we got him a little walking toy. At first he wasn't so sure about it and we didn't think that he really liked it, but then after he figured it out he decided it was really cool and wanted to play with it all day, the only problem was that when he would run into the wall he would yell because he was stuck, but if we tried to help him he would yell at us because he wanted to do it all by himself, so after a while the toy got put in his room with the door closed, mean I know to take a way his birthday present for a while, but he was getting pretty frusterated with it, the next day he learned how to kind of turn it, so it was a bit better. It is funny to watch him walk with it and watch those little legs moving as fast as they can to keep up with his body.

For his birthday I was going to make chocolate cupcakes because they make for good messy face pictures, but Weldon doesn't really like chocolate so I decided to make cheesecake because Colton wouldn't know the difference and because he can make a mess out of anything. Colton got to help me make the cheese cake and afterwards we gave him the spatula to lick, but he didn't like it for some reason, it made me worry he wouldn't like his cheesecake, but he did just fine. At first he just sat there and poked it but then he got the hang of it and I think even got some in his mouth. He touched the back of his neck and left a blueberry handprint that I thought was pretty cute. Any way it was a good day and we had lots of fun!

Fun Pictures

Here are some pictures we have taken recently of Colton and us. He is so fun. There are some pictures of him where he has pulled up on Weldon and I, then the last two are of him in the tub and helping Weldon get his bath ready.

More Messy Face!

Here are some more messy face pictures of Colton, when he got his birthday cupcake I think he had more fun mashing it with his little fingers then he did eating it! But he still managed to eat quite a bit! The messy faces with darker crumbs are when we gave him an oreo and he had lots of fun with that too! What a little face maker, so much fun!

New Years / B-day party

At New Years we went back home again and hung out with Weldon's family. We also had a little birthday party for Colton even though it was a little early. Lorraine decorated some cupcakes for Colton and they were super cute. I got a lot of messy face pictures and I will put up more after this post. There also some cute cousin pictures and finally a fun picture of Colton and Weldon getting ready for bed, well supposed to be winding down for bed any way, but mostly playing!

Roping

Over Christmas we hung out with my family and got to go riding and rope a little bit. It had been so long since I had ridden a horse and I was really out of practice, but it felt good to go riding again. Colton got to practice for later too!

Oh and the first picture is of Colton in his santa suite and Wyatt in his, what cute little cousins!

Christmas!

For Christmas Colton got a rocking horse and he was excited when he saw it on Christmas morning. We had him dressed in his little santa outfit and he was so cute! There is a picture of him and Grandpa getting ready to go outside and look at the horses. The last picture is of Weldon with his new Christmas guitar, and Colton helping him out. I love to hear him play and Colton loves to help him! I love my two boys and we all had a great Christmas.
