Colt's 2nd Birthday

This has a lot of pictures, so bear with me. We are finally home after being gone for 2 weeks. We celebrated Colton's birthday in Kansas again this year, but this time my parents were able to come. It was so nice to have everyone there, but we really did miss Uncle Chris and Aunt Dee Dee. Colt's birthday was on Friday, the 19th, but we celebrated a little early so that Uncle Brett and Aunt Ashley could be there with us. He is really going to be disappointed when he gets older and realizes he is really only supposed to get one birthday. Colt and I met my parents in Chattanooga and then they rode with us to Kansas and back. We are so glad we have wonderful parents that and brothers and sister-in-laws that love Colt so much. He got to do so much. We stopped by Tennessee Tech to visit my alma mater, he got 2 birthday celebrations, we went to the Precious Moments headquarters, he got to swim everyday, he got to go to the zoo and get licked by a giraffe, got to meet his great-grandfather, visited the Bass Pro Shops headquarters, got lots of loving, helped Uncle Brett catch a fish, got to go to the Creative Discovery Museum in Chattanooga to see Curious George. Wow, what an action packed couple of weeks. We were also lucky that we got to spend a bit of time with all 3 fathers on Father's Day. What a rare occasion. Colt has the best grandpas and daddy in the world!!!! What 3 great men for him and his little brother to look up to. How could he get any luckier? And though they are not fathers, he has the 2 best uncles to look up too. We love all of you and all you do for us.

Happy to birthday to Colt.

Meeting Great-Grandpa Bough for the first time. 4 generation picture. He looks pretty good for 94, doesn't he?


Meeting a giraffe for the first time. Notice the big guys tongue coming through the fence.

Feeding a tiger some mulch.

Having a birthday pancake on his real birthday.

Faye, Sam Butcher , and me at the Precious Moments headquarters. This is the creator of the Precious Moments figurines and he is only in town once or twice a year. He lives in the Phillipines, now. He comes back to paint very rarely.
