Happy 4th of July

Hope everyone had a good 4th.  We hung out all day and went swimming and then Colton and I went to the Hastings Country Club to watch fireworks.  This was his first time seeing fireworks and he loved it.  He told me his favorite ones were the finale.  

Just chillin'.

Jumping off the diving board to Casey.

Casey flipping Colton in the air.

This firework went off behind us from someone's house.  I love his face.

Too busy watching to be bothered to turn around.

Colton's 1st Tball game.

Colton had his first tball game a couple of weeks ago.  He was so excited.  We were so proud of him.  He loved to hit and run the bases.  

So excited to go to the game.

Nana and Chase waiting for the game to start.  It was a little chilly.

Lining up to bat.

Ready for the ball.

Happy 4th Birthday, Colton.

Colton's actual birthday fell on Father's Day this year.  We were fortunate enough to have my dad and Casey's dad here to celebrate both events.  Casey's parents bought Colton a all you can ride wristband for Nickelodeon Universe at Mall of America for one of his presents.  He loves this place, but never gets to stay more than a couple of hours, because someone in the family usually gets tired, grumpy, or both (usually Casey or Chase).  So, this time we took 2 cars and the boys went back home to watch golf while me, Nana, and Gram stayed with Colton to ride as much as he wanted.  He still didn't want to leave when we left at 6 pm!!  We also ate at Bubba Gump's Shrimp Company at MOA.  

Riding the baby rollercoaster as Colton calls it.  If you look behind him, you can see Chase and me.  Chase was not a big fan.

Happy Father's Day to our favorite daddies.

The waiters sang to him and brought him his own ice cream.  He was so surprised.

The girl told Colton to do his best birthday dance with the Backyardigans.

Riding the swings by himself.  He was finally tall enough that I didn't have to ride with him.

Riding the big rollercoaster.

I love my little guy!!!

Present from Miss Brandy, Mr. Brad, and Parker.  He loved all of it.  Thanks guys.  We love you.
