Things around here

Colten had rodeo week a few weeks ago at school and loved every minute of it. The kids could dress up each day if they wanted, so of course the overalls, boots, hat and button down shirts came out (by Colten's request). He loved it. I got to help out on the final day and "worked" the roping center. It really was a blast.

Cambry is now 8 months and is such a ham, she's just itching to keep up with her brother.

Crazy hair day, a normal occurrence

Colten also has been big into dressing up like anything and everything he can. One day he will be an Aggie football player, ALL day. He even fell asleep with the pads on, but I drew the line with the helmet. He gets into my clothes and boots and decides some days to be Hannah Montana (thanks to his cousin, Kalyn)!!! That one's pretty funny.

Some sort of "bad guy" with my salad bowl as a helmet He also got to go to the rodeo last week with just Mommy and Daddy. It was pretty special to just focus on him and he ate it up. It was really fun for us all.

Making an attemptLife sure is fun right now!!!

Playground talk

Last week we were informed that Colten has been doing some serious "talking" on the playground at school. The story goes that his teacher and the preschool director overheard him deep in conversation with a girl in his class. He was desperately trying to convince her and kept getting louder and louder. I assume, causing some kind of ruckus on the playground. The little girl made a statement that she had some kind of tools or toolbox, something like that at home. Colten, then went on to inform the girl that "girls do not have tools, only boys can have tools." Well, this little girl (from what I can tell) is just about as hard headed and determined as Colten and pushed the fact that she does have tools at home. Well, Colten had enough of that and loudly let her know that if she said that again, his daddy would have to come to school and spank her for saying that. Oh brother, can you just imagine. By then, the teachers were laughing hysterically. It didn't seem to bother the little girl a bit, so they continued back and forth for awhile, I understand. Funny thing is the preschool director, who we know quite well, was really laughing more because Colten's reaction and facial expressions reminded her more of Caleb than anything else. Oh...my boys are so much alike!!!
