Oh my typing teacher would be so proud!

Introducing Cooper!

This is our newest nephew - Cooper! He was born on February, 21st to Claire and Cody. This is Colton's first Traeger cousin so he's excited too - he was quite fascinated by his nose and eyes. I'm sure Colton will be even happier when Cooper can help him knock over all of the 2 litre bottles at Oma and Opa's.

Holding Cooper I realized just how BIG Colton is now! Then when I saw the diapers I was shocked! Granted Colton never did fit in that size to begin with, but Colton really is growing up and is in full "toddler" mode now.

Congratulations Claire and Cody! Now that you've entered parenthood you must have a blog!

Thank You Chava!

So many things to blog about and get caught up on... but first things first. I'm laying in bed this morning (awake - but not wanting to be - you know the feeling?) when we get a phone call. It's our neighbor (and fellow "school widow") Chava, wanting to know if I'd like to bring Colton over to her apartment to play for a couple of hours! Seriously? You do know Colton right? He's the one who cries when we leave him anywhere? She assures me that this is ok for her and not too worry. Oh and did I mention that she just had her 2nd baby in Dec?)So, of course I take her up on it and rush him over there before she can change her mind! ha ha

Those 2 hours were the best! I got our bedroom clean - well, clean might be exaggerating, but you can now see our floor though - and I got to go for a good 3 mile run/walk! So, what I thought was going to be a "ho-hum" morning turned into a great one!

THANK YOU SO MUCH CHAVA! I can't wait to be able to return the favor and watch Boston for you!

Got Milk?

Thanks for the laugh Summer! I had to post it on ours too!

Winter in Arizona!

Yes, this is Colton on his first swim of the year - in FEBRUARY - gotta love Arizona winters!

Colton's Trick!

I took this video of Colton a few weeks ago... needless to say I was not a happy camper when I realized what he was able to do. It did however explain some of the bruising... (NOTE: Colton was not hurt during the filming of this video - he preceded to do it 10 more x's after this!)

New Post!

I can't believe it's been over 3 weeks since our last post! Ok, here's the last 3 weeks in a nutshell:

Colton can hear just fine. He passed his hearing test with flying colors.

Colton's speech is in the 9 month range... kinda what we figured, so they are going to have someone come to our house and do in-home speech therapy with him... should be fun. We'll see how it goes.

Seth did not get the google internship - they flew him out to California last week but let him know on Wednesday that he was not selected. Oh well, it just means we have to keep looking.

I finished a 4-week bootcamp! yeah - 5:30 every morning (Mon-Fri) I would go and work out at a park by our house with other women - it was a blast! I wish I could do it again but it costs moola that we don't have :D. I did take 2 min off my mile time! and lost some inches so it was well worth it to me!

Here are some pics from the last 3 weeks:

Every morning (after bootcamp) Colton wanted to put on my workout clothes. He especially loved the "earwarmers" - they almost fit him too!

Colton has mastered walking in Seth's shoes.

Colton and Xander on their way to a "play-date." When we ask Colton if he wants to play with Xander he gets all excited and says "Dando" Dando! We're pretty sure that means Xander
