{Puppies}

That is what our life has consisted of lately...puppies. ;) Weighing, changing collars, cleaning bedding, feeding, emailing people, updating websites and adds...constantly! They are such sweet puppies, though! And for 13 they are doing marvelously!! We can't believe it! They are 10 days old and are starting to do a wobbly walk! Its adorable! We've never had a litter this big, so its been different but surprisingly very positive! Kolton loves to go out and play with the puppies as often as he can!
Some things he's known to say right now are:
"What time is it?" He asks that AT LEAST 15 times a day! I'm not even kidding! Its so cute, though, because he has no concept of time but for some reason has become very interested in knowing what time it is. Then you'll ask him what time it is and he'll say "fourteen thirty ollcllock" (he draws out the "l"s) or something silly like that.
"Oh my freaking heavens dang it." He says this when he crashes his cars or drops a ball...
We have conversations like this all the time:
K: "Why you take your shoes off?"
Me: "My feet hurt."
K: "Why?"
Me: "Because I was standing on them for a long time."
K: "Why?"
Me: "Because I was watching you play at the park."
K: "Why?"
Me: "Because you wanted to play."
K: "Whhhyyyy?"
Me: "Just because Kolton. Just because..."
He is very much in the stage of asking "why" to everything. His little brain is just learning so much right now it's crazy!


Brady brought some balloons home from his work a few weeks ago for Kolton to play with. He had fun with them! He thought they were so big!

Kolton has started to make a habit out of this. He falls asleep after we eat dinner after church. I was cleaning up after dinner and came out and he had fallen asleep just sitting there. We usually have to wake him up because a 5:00 nap is no good for sleeping that night.

This is after Kolton helped me mow the lawn. :) He jumps on the trampoline while I mow the back yard and our trampoline gets everyone FILTHY when you jump on it. Then after jumping he helped push the mower with me and so by the time it was all said and done he looked a little something like this. :)

Here's a little picture of some of our puppies. Like I said before, there are 13! We put them up for sale on Thursday and sold one that night to a couple in North Carolina. They are so excited to have her! We look forward to seeing them grow!

We went to the park a few days ago. Kolton's favorite parts where the swing and the tire swing! Him and Pierson had A BLAST on the tire swing!! (Until Pierson starting feeling too dizzy... :)) I had them going really fast on that thing spinning and going round and round! It was awesome!



Kolton also got to ride the go-kart this week. He's so funny...he puts his hands up the whole time he is riding. It cracks me up. He'll have this serious look on his face the whole time with his hands up in the air.

Kolton also had his first day of "mommy preschool" this week. We are taking turns with Vanessa and Pierson every Tuesday learning a letter.

When I put his backpack on him he just lit up! All that was in there was his diapers and wipes but he was SO excited to go to school with his backpack on! Its from 9-1 and the boys have a little lesson on a letter and then get to play and eat lunch with each other and then are picked up in time to take a little nap! ;)

Here he is walking to their apartment.



Later he was excited to eat his after school snack of oreos and milk. :)
We are excited for him to do more! Its Saturday and he still remembers what an "A" is so that's progress! ;) This week it will be at our house and we'll learn about "B." Vanessa came up with the idea to make a photo book at the end of the alphabet so they can go back and look at it and remember all the letters and what they learned. Plus, they'll think its cool to have a book with them in it! ;)

Brady starts a new job this next week at Office Max in their corporate offices down in south Norman. He's going to be a Business Development Manager, which is pretty much what the people on The Office do, except he'll be selling more than papers and printers. We are excited for him to start this job! Its a normal 8-5 job with no nights and no weekends so that will be a nice change! He'll also get vacation time and holidays off so it will be great! We are already looking forward to his first holiday off--Labor Day! ;)
