First Video Post...finally!

Happy December, everyone! Just a cute picture that I couldn't resist. The video is from our trip home from Jenni's Christmas party. Colton was out a bit later than his bedtime, so he is singing the sleepy song. He "talked" nonstop for about 20 minutes. Here's a little snippet...

Tales from the Car Wash...


So... Colton and I took a little field trip today to the carwash. I had never been to the "Posh Car Wash" (seriously - that's the name of it) so didn't quite know what to expect. I thought it would be a full service wash and that Colton and I could hang out and watch the cars getting washed. Instead it turned out to be a "stay-in-your-car" $5 wash. Thinking it might be exciting for Colton, I pulled in the wash. Colton didn't cry, but he had a very concerned look on his face the whole time. I wish I had had my camera and been in the back seat with him. As I experienced it through his eyes, it was a bit frightening. Can you imagine being little and seeing these huge, blue, and soapy sponges coming at you like you're being swallowed up by a giant blue monster...not to mention your car is shaking. Scary. It might be a while before we go through a car wash again. However; I highly recommend the $5 wash. There were no spots on my car at all and they give you free use of the vacuums. I enjoyed the vacuums because you could use them as long as you wanted without adding quarters.


Colton is so close to sitting up. He used to flop completelyover in the middle or lean sideways as soon as you sat him up, but now he's leaning only about 45 degrees and can stay that way on his own for a few minutes. It will be exciting to watch him sit up and play with his toys. He's such a sweet little boy.


I guess that's all the blogworthy events for today! Have a great evening, everyone!

Who does Colton look like?

I saw the below "Look-a-Like" meter on my friend Jaime's site and decided to give it a try. People are always asking us who we think Colton looks like. I think he's just a perfect blend of both of us. Here are a few of our baby pics so you can decide for yourself.

Jack and his sweet parents - Karen and Frazier
Jenny and Mom - Pennye
Jenny and Dad - Mike - snoozing while waiting on a very important call... Baby Jack

November Memories...

Wow! I can't believe November is already over! We had a great time celebrating Colton's 4 month birthday and Thanksgiving.

We started out the Thanksgiving events on Wednesday. Papaw came over and helped us cross a few things off our handy-man list! Thanks, Papaw, for all your hard work. We enjoyed the Thankgiving BBQ, too! Unfortunately, we didn't get any pictures of our fun day to add to the blog. Next time!

Colton came down with his first cold over Thanksgiving week. It was so hard to hear him coughing and see him feeling bad. Thankfully, he is feeling much better now.

On Thanksgiving day we headed to Bunny's house for a delicious Turkey dinner with all the fixins. We finished the day with a fun game of Wahoo.

Friday took us to Houston where we celebrated another day of thanks with Jack's family. We had another wonderful feast complete with fried turkey and yummy sides! We are so thankful for our FAMILY!

Colton is really developing quite the personality. He likes to giggle and is becoming more and more vocal about what he likes and doesn't like. Lately he's started grunting and whining when a toy is out of reach or he wants to be picked up. Church is becoming interesting too. He is a big wiggle-worm! Enjoy the pics and I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Can I get any cuter!?!
Thanksgiving wore me out...
Gotta love a baby in footed pj's.
Where's Colton? This was my idea for a hat when we went on a walk the other day. At one point I looked down and Colton was chewing on the blanket.
Ready for our walk.
This was the night the Cowboys beat Green Bay!!! We celebrated my mom's **th birthday with lasagne, chocolate sheet cake and a great Cowboys victory. My brother Zach and his sweet girlfriend, April came too. I promised I wouldn't put this picture on the blog - but I couldn't resist. It was too cute!
Watching the big game with Daddy! I can't believe the Cowboys are 11-1! Daddy is so funny to watch the game with. He tends to be a Negative Ned during the game and pronounces utter defeat after every Cowboy mistake. Thank goodness they won!
Yes - this is the back of a nearly 5 month old baby's head. All that thin hair makes it look like the back of a 40 year old man's head. He is captivated by the HDtv.
I can't smile for the camera - I'm watching the game!
Playing with Uncle Zach.

Thanksgiving at Houston -with Cousin Brittany! I love my Brittany so, so much!
Ocho Cinco has got nothing on me! Just chillin in my cute and warm Tigger sweats.

Go Cowboys!
Happy Birthday, Bunny!
