Note to self....

Just a quick note for remembrance....

I love it when Kolton gets up and yells "MOMMY!" down the steps.

Yes, I still walk up and carry him and his silky down. Everyday.

I love you sweet Kolton!

The butterflies are still here!

The butterflies are still going strong...and we are loving them!

Kolton's 1st day of Preschool!

Dear Kolton,

Monday was your first day of Preschool! You go to Care-A-Lot Learning Center, which is the same preschool that your big brother and sisters went! Miss Brandy is your teacher. You couldn't WAIT to go!! When I said it was time for school you went and got your shoes and backpack immediately! Mommy made a mental note to wait a little longer to tell you next time because we had at least a half hour yet before we had to leave. I think the most dramatic part of your morning was when I had to wet and comb your hair. We both know that I don't slick you down very often...sorry.

When it was time to go, you wanted to sit in Lola's car seat. I let you because you are such a big boy (and you DO weigh over 30 lbs). It was very special for you!

Here we are outside of Preschool.

"CHEESE!"

Hanging up your Toy Story backpack in your locker.


Finding your name tag (with Mommy's help)

...and humoring me taking your picture so much.

This one cracked me up! You wanted to look around SO BAD at all the toys but I kept telling you to smile at the camera. This was your attempt at doing both! =)


I came back a little early because I wanted to peek in and see how you were doing. Of course you were doing great! You were sitting at your table drinking an apple juice box. You also had a cheese stick which you pointed at and said YUCK! You listened when the teacher said to throw things away and even asked to be excused, though Miss Brandy didn't understand what you were asking! HA!

You stood and followed in line for the very first time today.

You rode the bikes outside on the playground that went around and around. I think this was your favorite because you spoke about it often and it was the first thing you told Daddy.

I think you had a very good first day! You were very tired and ready to go home, but today is your second day of school and your excited to go back again.

You are such a big boy!

I am very proud of you!!

Love,

Mommy

Play-doh fun!

So what has Mr. Kolton been up to since the kids started school?

Keeping me busy that's what!! HA!

With no one to play with but Momma...we are looking for new things to spend our time on.

We've had Play-doh out before...but really this is the first time this summer. He loved it! I think he really loved playing with it however he wanted. He really relaxed and enjoyed it! I think maybe because he wasn't always in "defend" or "that's mine" mode. Being the fourth in line...sometimes I think he feels like it is survival of the fittest!

Kolton you are almost 3 1/2 yrs old and a bundle of joy!

Your always making me smile!

Your very energetic and as Grandma Shopp would say...have no sit in your butt!

He was on cloud nine with his squishy doh!

He loved making "worms"!

And orange really seems to be his color of preference.

It was nice to just sit, him and I!

I love that special time with each one of our children.

They are growing up so fast and that is one of the reasons I have decided to start documenting here on the blog again. After being so blessed by the few past posts that I did type...I want to use this blog as our family journal. To make sweet notes about our Journey, our Love and our Blessings!

Loved and Blessed!
