Woops!

Somehow this photo didn't get added to my last post even though I wrote about it. This is Trey's preschool graduation- where he let Jackson try on the cap.

Trey turns five and Grandpa and Grandma visit

For Trey's fifth birthday, we took him and Jackson to Seaworld in San Antonio. We had lots of fun and were glad to go when it wasn't so busy or sooooo hot yet.

Grandpa and Grandma got back from India in April and came down to visit us in May. It was wonderful!!! We missed them so much and it was great for them to get reacquainted with the kids. They had never even met Colton, of course, and hadn't seen the other boys in nearly two years. The kids fell in love with them immediately and can't wait until we see them in a few weeks when we drive to Michigan.Trey graduated from preschool and will start kindergarten this fall. Here he let Jackson try on his cap. I love this photo- maybe because they are having one of their loving moments as opposed to the fighting?

Also, Colty giving Grandma one of his looks.

The five of us.

Cute Colty-Colt

Colton really adores Trey and will try to play with him or just hug him much of the time.

Colton sacked out in his bouncy seat.

Jackson having fun on their "jumping castle".

Colton turns 1!

I love the first birthday because of the destroying of the cake. Colton didn't tear into it too horribly, but was still adorable!

Diane (Erik's Mom) was able to come visit from Florida for Colty's birthday.

We went to the Waco zoo with friends (No, Bella is not my adopted daughter- that was a
joke!)

Visitors and Christmas

Jackson in his Christmas hat.

On Christmas morning, Trey ran downstairs and said the typical, "Look at all the presents! Santa came!" Jackson glanced at the presents but then saw Uncle Steven (he didn't realize he had spent the night) and bypassed the presents yelling "Steve! Steve!" and jumped into his arms.

Trey, with one of the many games he received for Christmas and Colton playing in the cabinets.

Halloween to present

The kids had a good halloween. They went trick-or-treating with our good friends, Devin and Lexi.

Video clips

Colton peeking over the edge and chewing on his chair (more teeth coming in.)

Jackson in his "Bam-Bam" shirt. Whenever he wears that shirt he says, "I Bam-Bam!!!"

Trey taking a breather at his game.

Colton watching Trey's game and smiling for the camera!

Trey is playing soccer this fall and although I've been unable to catch a truly glorious moment on video, here is something to watch. He really enjoys it and is getting better each week- scoring 6 goals and 5 goals the last two games.

This is Colton's use for his bouncy seat now- pretty innovative, huh?
