A New Update - Finally!


Sorry we've been MIA with updates and with reading everyone's blogs; I promise to catch up soon. Since school has started, I have been trying to find a new routine again and have been super busy and tired. I'm going to keep this as short as possible and will just touch on the highlights of the past two months or so.
We took Colten to his first football game this past Friday night. Since he usually goes to bed around 6:30 pm during the school year, this was a big night out for him. But he loved it, except for the first time Fitch scored. They had a packed house so the noise level was so intense. Colten didn't understand why everyone was yelling and he started to cry. But once he realized everything was okay and that everyone was happy, he was ready for more action : > The highlight of the game was meeting one of the mascots, Fredia Falcon. I have both of the mascots in class and told them to be on the lookout for us. I was a little worried that Colten might be afraid of them, but he wasn't! He couldn't get enough : > We left at the half to get Colten in bed at a decent hour, but the Falcons went on to win the game 24-21 and remain undefeated - Go Falcons!!!

On Saturday, we headed to White House Farm for fruit, cheeses, yummy treats, hayrides and more. Here are a few pics from the day.

In other news, Colten turned eighteen months old this past week (I can't believe it!), and he went for his well visit. He weighs 28 and 3/4 pounds (75%) and is 36 inches (I love saying 3ft or a whole yard stick : >) and is off the chart!
Even though I have skipped over so much since my last post, I'll just leave you with a few more pics. Enjoy!

Colten is obsessed with tractors so he loves when Daddy takes him for rides!


Colten learning to play t-ball - I never captured a photo of him swinging.

I hope everyone has a great week ahead!
