Summer Randoms

We have been busy having random summer fun, trying to stay cool, and getting ready for baby.  Here are some of the fun stuff we have been doing.
Jeff and I went to a casual wedding reception which was a fun night out!
We have had fun playing in the back yard in our homemade water slide :)
We have had a few swim play dates with our friend Emma. These two could swim for hours together!:)
We started a new behavior chart for Colton and he finally got to his first prize...a team umizoomi toy which he is obsessed with! He was so proud!
Going to Academy with Daddy is always fun...especially when we try on hats! :)
We have been practicing writing our name.  We are pretty impressed with how well Colton can write it! He has been able to spell his name out loud for a little while now. 
So smart!
On a cool evening we headed to the pond to feed the ducks. Colton loves this and so do the ducks! 
Swim fun at the pool with Daddy!!
followed by some playtime at the park.
And of course some trips to the donut store for donut holes (one of Colton's favorite things) has made for some good summer mornings!
Jeff had to start back work the end of July. :( But we have been up there to see Daddy at his "new office" and bring him lunch. Colton loved this!
We have been painting and trying to get the nursery done...pics to come when it is all finished! :)

6 Year Anniversary

On Sunday Jeff and I had our 6 year anniversary! My how time has flown and life has changed! So blessed to have married such a wonderful man! We celebrated over the weekend by staying at the Gaylord for a couple nights and having just us time with out Mr.C.  It was relaxing, recharging and fun!
We started the weekend on Friday afternoon.  Jeff left work early, we dropped Colton off with Pappaw and we headed to the President George Bush Museum.  Man are we getting old...museum as an activity of choice on anniversary weekend. :) We love the Bush's and really wanted to see the museum since his presidency was impactful on us...and we were kid free! :) It was an amazing museum and we highly recommend it!
 These are beams from the World Trade Center. The section dedicated to 9/11 was very neat!
Future President and First Lady in the Oval Office...Just Kidding! :)
We grabbed dinner at yummy Freebirds and headed to the Gaylord!
Saturday we slept in, had room service breakfast in bed (awesome!) and then headed to their new pool area.  We hung out at the pool all day and it was great!
Then we went to dinner at Hibiscus in Dallas. It was sooooo good and we ate way to much!
We had a great little get away!
Thank you to Mammaw and Pappaw for watching Colton over the weekend! He had so much fun!!
He got to build a little car with Pappaw and his new little hammer!
He also baked 2 cakes with Mammaw...well he did one and Mammaw did one.  He got to choose his cake color, shape and icing color.  He made a purple heart shaped cake with pink icing and lots of sprinkles.  Silly...but yummy!!
He even got to play with his cousins and had a good time!
Colton and Emory enjoyed having a juice break together. :)
Thanks again to Mammaw and Pappaw for watching and playing with Colton all weekend!!
