Colt's 11th Birthday

 We were stuck at the cabin thanks to the car for Colt's birthday but he didn't mind.  We got home that night and then celebrated later in the week.

Colt's second cousin Harry came for the entire week, they are only 3 weeks apart in age and have the best time together. Harry is fun to have around and fit right in with us.

Fishing at the cabin was somewhat successful. Colt was happy to catch a few.

11 year olds are so goofy, but I sure love this kid! 

Ann came with the girls for a night so we went to a Sweets baseball game, the kids got to enjoy all sorts of fun baseball food.

After the game we sang Happy Birthday to Colt and ended the night with a Dairy Queen ice cream cake.

Colt is one special kid. He is loyal, a leader, a hard worker and a fantastic problem solver. He loves to play sports, hunt, fish and be outdoors. He has the biggest heart for animals and has asked many times for a new dog (we lost our hunting dog this past spring), so maybe next summer he will get one of his own.  He holds my hand every time he sits next to me in the car and multiple times a day he comes up and says "I really love you mom". I never want to forget those little moments and how much they mean to me.  I love you Colt! You are one amazing kid and have such a bright future ahead of you.
