Swimming, Eating and Blowing Things Up!

Friday I took the day off of work to spend some time with Colton. We went swimming in the afternoon with Grandma Margie at Taylorsville Pool and had a blast. Colton really has no fear of the water and could spend his whole day in water. While there Colton said his first sentence. A group next to us was eating popsicles and Colton looked at them then looked at me and no joke said

"momma, I wanna osicle"

I couldn't believe it. The kid who has not been allowed sugar and this is his first sentence. It figures! Colton is saying more and more words and I feel like he is just going to take off talking soon.

That night we went over to Grandpa and Grandma Lewis' house for a bbq and fireworks. Uncle Trevor was there and some of Margie's friends including Chloe, who is seven months older than Colton. Those two had a blast! They sat right on the stone ledge and watched the fireworks intently and giggled every time there was a noisy one. I loved listening to the two of them "talk" to each other. Although none of the adults understood what they were saying they sure did understand each other. It was the perfect start to our holiday weekend.

Uncle Trevor

We always get so excited when Uncle Trevor comes to town. Last Feburary when he came out it took Colton a little while to warm up to him. When we met him in Seattle he did a better job. This time he was excited from the minute he saw him. We have made an effort to show Colton pictures of Trevor and act really excited when we talk about him. My brother amazes me with how cute and good he is with Colton. He really is a great Uncle. They got to hang out, eat popsicles, pick up "babes", play baseball, and play on Colton's new slip n slide that Trevor bought him. We hate when it comes time to say goodbye especially when we know the next time we see him won't be all the way until November. Until then we will keep looking at pictures, reminding Colton how cool his Uncle is and have the occasional phone call.

Trevor's *times* Two!!

This last week has been a busy one at our house! We had Uncle Trevor here from California AND "Uncle" Trevor (my step brother) here from Washington! "Big" Trevor (step brother, big because he is older and well, bigger) also brought along two friends.

Trying to get Colton to cooperate was pretty impossible. This was the best one we could get of all three of them. All together we had nine people staying at our house. Thank goodness for air mattresses and the motor home :) Colton loved (for the most part) having lots of people here to play with and entertain. Although shy and moody at moments I think he was grateful to have some men in the house instead of just girls all the time! Uncle Trevor loves Colton and is so cute with him! As long as I wasn't visible Colton loved playing with him too. They wrestled, played football and watched sports together (you know "manly" stuff). I love this picture!We already miss both Trevor's and can't wait to see them in Seattle in a couple months!
