the 4th and 5th of JULY

We had a really fun 4th (and 5th) of July! Things are getting more and more fun as Kolton gets older! It is so much fun to watch him as he grows and experiences things!

We went to WhiteWater Bay on the 4th of July and surprisingly, it wasn't horribly busy. We got there when it opened (to get good seats) and stayed until about 3:30. Kolton had a lot of fun. We have been going swimming a lot with Brittney and Kade and last week we went swimming with Brooklyn and Kashton Gulbransen and so he has been getting better and better at swimming. He now can use his floaties and keep his head out of the water pretty much the whole time (as long as no minnie waves hit him).
Here's Kolton and Brady eating lunch. We just brought sandwiches, pretzels and granola bars.
Here's our family while eating lunch. Look at that blue eyed, blond haired kid!

Kolton was just old enough to be able to enjoy the kid area they had. He was tall enough to walk around and not fall down. He really enjoyed going down the slides they had and splashing the water. He also really liked the lazy river and the wading pool. He looks like a little frog when he swims. Its so funny! He doesn't move anywhere, but he kicks his legs and flaps his arms pretty hard.

Taking a little break to eat some pretzels after he puked all over me. It was so gross! I was taking him around in the lazy river right after we ate lunch and he took a huge gulp of water and puked his entire lunch all over my shoulder and chest. Luckily, Brady was getting in, so he took Kolton and I went to the bathroom to wash off. These two little girls were in the bathroom and asked what happened. I told them and they backed away (as if the puke could jump off and get them :)) and just stared. Then as they were leaving, one of the girls took a handful of water and poured it on my shoulder--I'm guessing to help me out a little. It was kind of funny.

Look at those pruny feet! After spending 5 hours in a pool, its bound to happen! :)



And this is what he looked like literally 30 seconds after we put him in the car! :)

This is actually from Friday (3rd). He woke up after a really short nap and just wanted to lay on Brady for about another 20 or so minutes. It was too sweet.


Our family on the 4th of July after coming back from a firework show that was cancelled...

Kolton on his first day of Nursery! Yay! :) He lasted 30 minutes and then they brought him to us, but that's ok..baby steps! I figured he wouldn't stay too long because he doesn't know the nursery leader at all or any of the children, so I just told her to keep him as long as she could handle it and then bring him to me.


The fireworks were rescheduled for Sunday night so we got there at about 9:00 and waited for the fireworks to start at 9:30.

Kolton was so cute when the fireworks started. He had been watching people set their own off before the show started and would get a little startled by them and run and sit on my lap and then would watch them very intently, but when the show started he ran to the blanket and laid down and put his hands behind his head. It was so cute! So I decided to lay down next to him. He's turning into a little boy!





And a little video of swimming.
