Happy Birthday Colton!!

One year ago this past Saturday, we met Colton for the first time! I'm probably about to use every cliche' known to man, but I can't find the words to describe how amazing this past year has been. Watching this tiny baby grow into a walking toddler has been unbelievable. We are so thankful to God for this gift!

One Year Ago - July 12, 2007


Now - July 12, 2008
Here's the sweetest ONE YEAR OLD I know! Granddad did a great job getting a picture with his hat on. It was short-lived.
Happy Birthday Boy!
Sonic Ice for the birthday boy! We put it in his new sand & water table and he had a blast!
Yummy!
Are these for me?

Opening presents with Mommy.

Thanks Pawpaw, Karen and Brooke for my cool fire truck.
My only pic of Daddy and the Birthday Boy. He was manning the video camera most of the time.
His first experience with cake. We had to "experience" it twice because he was getting pretty tired at his first attempt.



Bunny and Colton! Thanks Bunny for all your help. She was the crepe paper queen! Such a fun memory!
We will have to have another photo shoot for the FINAL block picture. He was just too excited about his party. Once I get his 1 Year photo, I'll post all the block pictures from the past year.
Birthday boy dinner - peas, cheese & turkey. Sorry, Buddy, the rest of us enjoyed yummy hamburgers and hot dogs that Daddy grilled!



Can we get this show on the road? This birthday boy is exhausted!
And what exactly do you want me to do with this?
Uncle Zach
Thanks Paige, Doug, Brittany, Wilkin and Henry for my cool car! I love it!
Baby Jackson and Grandma!

Mommy and the Birthday Boy!

Grandma and the Birthday Boy!


One of my favorite pics from the day!
Can you guess the theme?

Thanks for celebrating our special boy! Toddler-hood, here we come!
