Colton being his usual silly self! He is making faces at Papa and I as we are sitting on the deck. He enjoyed going in and out of the house and we had to continually remind him "in or out Colton" so that he wouldn't just sit in the doorway. Love his energy!!
The boys building towers with Annie and Papa's building blocks. Colton loves building up the towers. Austin would prefer someone else build the towers, but both boys love knocking them over!!
We spent the entire day outside playing. We had breakfast on the deck, we played with blocks and then we put swim trunks on. We were already outside playing in the sprinkler at 9am. They sure enjoyed the sprinkler.
Colton had to get up real close to figure out how that sprinkler was working. Both boys chased eachother around the back yard and also played in the swimming pool. They rode around on the jeep and when Nick and Courtney arrived, Austin also got a ride on the lawn mower!
As you can see in the picture EVERYONE enjoyed the swimming pool on Saturday afternoon. It was hot!
Love Colton's smile!
We had lunch on the deck. Sweet corn!!! Colton was working hard to hold that sweet corn up to his face. He really seems to enjoy the challenge of doing it himself and the fact that Austin can eat sweet corn means to Colton that he can eat sweet corn too!
Carol and Alan arrived with a surprise!! Carol had a little cooler full of water balloons and an entire bag of them to also fill up with water. This was the boys first water balloon fight and boy was it a fun one! Everyone was wet by the time the last balloon was thrown. Austin and Colton ran back and forth from the deck to the pool which Carol filled all the water balloons. Of course, the grown ups got in on the fun too and therefore everyone ended up wet by the time it was over. The boys loved it! Austin loved squeezing them over his daddy, Papa and Nick's heads. These are pictures of the boys with their ammunition.
This is a picture of Carol trying to teach Colton how to squeeze his ballon so it would pop. He was trying so hard to squeeze it . . . he was grunting and getting red faced but he just couldn't quite get it . . . he loved just tossing them in the yard and watching them pop too! After a truce was called and the water balloons were put away we ate dinner.
After dinner Colton was exhausted, he looked more tired than I have ever seen him look. He was so worn out from all of the fun he had during the day. Brian gave him a quick bath and Colton was sleeping soundly by 7pm on the dot. Austin was able to stay up this year to enjoy the homemade ice cream and fireworks in the front yard. He loved it! Austin clapped, jumped up & down, and would make sure to point out what colors all of them were. Nick let off the fireworks and Austin kept telling him "Nice one Nick. That one was AWESOME Nick! Wow, that was the biggest firework I ever saw! I love the red one!" It was so cute to see his expression and hear him describe what he was seeing. It was a wonderful day!
