Twice as Spoiled!!

Colton and I spent the weekend at the lake with Grandma Lori and Grandpa Steve and we also brought Grandma Yvonne with us!! Colton was one spoiled little boy all weekend. If mom said no he went to his Grandma's and if by chance they said no he could always count on Grandpa! We had so much fun and the weather was absolutely beautiful. We spent time playing in the water, going for golf cart rides, skipping rocks, taking the paddle boat out to the sandbar and going for a kayak ride around the lake!! We also enjoyed some great campfire food including shrimp, fresh fish, steak, chicken, corn on the cob, watermelon and smores!! It was a very relaxing weekend and we can't wait to go back. We hope everyone had a great Memorial Weekend and remember those who are fighting for our country and could not spend the weekend with their families!

Back at the Lake!

We spent our first weekend of the summer at the lake this last weekend! Colton absolutely loves being at the lake. He loves going for golf cart rides, playing on the playground, collecting rocks and throwing them in the water and of course helping PopPop collect and unload wood!! It was very cold and windy on Saturday but we still made the best of it... including me taking a nap while Colton kept Grandma very busy putting together his awesome dollar store toys! We are heading back to the lake again for Memorial weekend and this time we are bringing Grandma Yvonne along as well! Colton isn't gonna need me when he has both of his Grandma's waiting on him!! It should be a good time and hopefully the weather will be better next weekend! Check out that big rock, he was having a really hard time holding it for the picture in case you can't tell!

Wonderful Weekend!

Saturday we went to my cousin Kayla's Wedding and we had a great time! It was so much fun to hang out with so many of my cousins. And Colton proved to everyone that he is quite the little dancer... break dancer that is!! He was all over the dance floor busting his moves. And after Grandma and Grandpa took Colton home with them I was able to do some dancing too! It was so much fun to let loose and enjoy some laughs with everyone!

Then on Sunday I spent Mother's Day relaxing while Frankie worked all day in the backyard. He set up our Garden in the morning, Big Thanks to Yvonne for helping set it up and to Marissa for helping plant the veggies. And then Sunday afternoon Colton and I headed over to Uncle Freddie's house with Grandma Yvonne for homemade pizza's and Sundaes while Frankie stayed home and put together our new storage shed.... big Thanks to my dad for helping with this project. I had a very relaxing Mother's Day... Frankie on the other hand did not! I will be sure to make Father's Day a good one for him. Oh yeah, Colton got me a dozen roses and a GIANT helium balloon for Mother's Day, what an amazing son!! I know I have said this before but being a mom is the most rewarding thing ever. I couldn't imagine my life without Colton, he is just an amazing little guy. And if I am having a bad day he knows exactly what to do to melt away all of life's problems. I love you Colton and thank you for making Mother's Day (and everyday) one to remember!

Lazy Thursday!

Colton and I spent our Thursday off playing outside. We went for a long bike ride to the park, we washed Sampson's kennel and we of course played in the sandbox! Later that night when daddy got home we got down Colton's Big Boy Bike that PopPop bought him last summer at a garage sale. I didn't think he would be able to ride it yet but Colton proved me wrong once again. He is growing up way too fast!!
