Colton has become obsessed with fixing things! Here he is working on the stroller (trying to figure out how the break works - yeah he figured it out pretty quick!) One time I came in and he was on his back looking up at it, just like a mechanic would do... he is definitely smarter than we realize!
Isn't being a kid during the summer the best?!
This week we also learned that Colton really likes baseball - at least the bat and ball anyways! Thanks to my friend Brianne (who blogged about this idea awhile ago), I knew the best way to make a homemade tee was from a milk jug. Here is Colton perfecting his swing.
Here's a video that Seth took of Colton setting up the "tee" - in it you can see why we have to keep the bat up sometimes.
Yesterday, I was trying to keep Colton up a little later than usual so that when he went down for his nap it would be during the Suns game so that both Seth and I could watch it together (see this post regarding our TV situation).
I gave him a cookie after lunch so that he would stay up a little longer... this is what I found 5 minutes later:
I was laughing so hard! I put him right down to bed and I'm happy to report that he slept until halfway through the 4th quarter of the game! Woo-Hoo! At which point we all went over to the club house to finish watching the game... Wasn't it a heartbreaker though? AGH! At one point I screamed and hit the couch (I was so into the game) and Colton looked right at me and did the same thing! It was pretty funny - they are always watching us!

I love that he fell asleep with the cookie in his mouth:> What a cutie!
we just love your family & your adventures. i'm so glad we'll get to spend the next year together neighbor! :)
so many funny pictures. I LOVE the cookie in mouth picture and the cannonball. I was waiting to see Colton hit the ball in the video. I guess you'll have to post a new video with him hitting the ball.
this cookie picture is hilarious! I love it. I have never seen anything like it. Usually when a kid gets a cookie it's gone whether they are sleepy or not.
Colton must not be a real "Traeger" because we would stay awake to finish our cookies! What a cute guy...and so smart with the t-ball!
looks like he had tons of fun! Love those boys!
THAT IS FRIGGIN HILARIOUS!!!! Nice try though...trying to change his schedule...ahahah.
I have heard about this post and picture, but hadn't seen it myself until today. LOVE the cookie out of his mouth. Who knew that a kid could be too tired to eat a cookie!
