**Turn up the volume so you can hear the song. Dave's mom Julie gave me this song when Colt was born and I still can't listen to it without crying but I believe in the message behind it!

Feeding Byson

I had to laugh when I saw the pictures on the camera this evening. One of Colt's FAVORITE things to do is to help Dave feed the dogs. If Dave leaves without him he stands at the window and cries:( Dave must have taken these pictures last weekend after feeding the dogs.
Colt loves Byson and Byson really loves Colt too. These two do everything together around the house.
Colt has the biggest grin on his face in this picture. It is amazing to me how much he loves dogs, when I go and get him in the morning he has 3 requests: Milk, Banana, and Byson (and not always in that order).

Happy Halloween!

Colt is a clown this year, my mom made the costume for him. He is one of the cutest clowns I have ever met!
They had a trunk-or-treat at the high school where I teach at last night so we took him to that. He was so cute walking around, we taught him to say trick-or-treat (I have been working on it with him for awhile now) he says tick-teat. He would hold out his halloween basket and then they would put candy inside. He loved the sucker, we gave him one of them about half way through and that's all he cared about the rest of the night. It was so funny to watch him suck on it like a big boy.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch

We drove over to Kennewick this morning and met all of Dave's family at a pumpkin patch in Pasco. It was a lot of fun and the kids had so much fun, we did our family pictures, rode on a tractor and looked around at all the pumpkins.
Colt found one that was just his size.
He kept trying to pick up all the pumpkins and most of them were too heavy for him.
He had the worst cold but was still in a pretty good mood for feeling so crummy.

Petting Zoo

After we got back from the hay ride and pictures we went to a petting zoo, Colt loved all the animals.
Checking out the cow.
Uncle Andy showing Colt how to pet the cow.
Pointing at the huge pig, he was in awe of it!
He also liked the sheep. He spent most of his time running from animal to animal over and over again.

Bouncy House

They had two huge bouncy houses at the pumpkin patch and so we got tickets for Colt and Camryn to go through. We must have taken both of them through the houses like 6 times. They both loved it and were smiling and laughing the entire time. It was so fun to go through with him and watch his face.
Going down the slide all by himself.
Both Camryn and Colt took really long naps after the fun morning of playing.

Spaghetti for Dinner!!

I made spaghetti sauce from scratch for dinner tonight. I got the recipe from a friend online and it was pretty good, it had sausage and hamburger in it. Dave tasted it and was like "Wow this is actually pretty good!!" Obviously he does not enjoy my cooking much:) Anyway, Colt has been battling a bad cold and cough for the last few days and has not eaten much but he was loving the spaghetti tonight!
Its such a messy food and a big pain to clean up but at least he enjoyed his dinner and got his appetite back for a meal.

Candy Thief

We were having company come this weekend so I put out all of my fall decorations along with the Halloween candy dish. Colt had been playing with his toys most of the afternoon and I was in the kitchen working on some more decorating when I noticed it had gotten very quiet. I walked around the corner and saw Colt reaching into the candy dish and unwrapping the candy and eating it. I did not realize he was tall enough to reach it but I have now had to move the candy dish, otherwise we would have had no candy left over.
Notice the wrappers on the ground:) He is getting so big that nothing is out of his reach anymore. We are really going to have to work on him not touching the Christmas ornaments this year!!
