"Soccer Stud"

I logged on to the photography company's website and took a picture of our group picture.  I was going on there to order one and was going to get like a $4.00 5x7 picture but then saw that shipping for it was $13! There's no way I'm paying $17 for a 5x7 picture! 
Anyway, so I opted to take a picture of it on the computer screen.  

 Kolton is getting so good at coloring! He does so well! 
 He got a new transformers coloring book and was coloring really intricately.  I loved it! 
 Here's so pictures and videos from his last soccer game this season.  I'm sad it is over.  I love watching him play and he loves to play! He has really good foot and ball control.  Its amazing! 
                                      
This picture is so cute! They were looking at something on someone's phone while waiting for their turns to go in.  



 They each got medals after the game! Kolton thinks that this year's medal is the coolest one so far. 


 Andrew, Kolton and Kade with their medals.  
 Jaycee and Landon, and Grandma and Grandpa Brammer and Madison came to watch.  

The save that Kolton makes a few seconds in to this video is amazing! I couldn't believe it! 
This is probably going to be our last season at the Y.  Not that I need it to be super competitive but just more than it is at the Y.  For example...in Kolton's second to last game the ref, who happened to be the sports director (who is really nice), told Sterling he needed to take Kolton out because he was scoring too many goals and it wasn't fair to the other team.  I couldn't believe it.  That isn't fair to Kolton! Just because he is scoring doesn't mean he shouldn't get the chance to play just as much as the other kids.  Anyway, I think we are going to go to Southlakes next year.  

Halloween!

This year for Halloween Kolton was Captain America.  He LOVED it! He wore it several times before Halloween to play around in.  He especially loved it after I made his mask.  Then he wore it almost every day until Halloween! 
On October 26th we went to the Balkman's Halloween party.  We got there a few minutes before it started and parked right next to Jeff and Vanessa.  


 A quick picture with his cousins.  :) 




It was fun! He loved trunk or treating! 
On Halloween (a Wednesday) we went trick or treating with the Foys and the Himes.  We went to Heatherwood (which is where Brittney and I took Kade and Kolton when they were one).  There were some streets that were dead and others that were packed.  It got kind of hard in the big crowds of people to keep track of all the kids.  I just kept counting and when I'd finish counting I'd start over again making sure none of them accidentally followed a random group.  :) 
Renee was a mermaid, Andrew was batman, Kade was spiderman, Kolton was captain america, Emery was supergirl and Lily was Eeyore.  Bailey and Halley were in their carseats and they were a ladybug and a sheep, respectively.  
 I loved how we had a bunch of superheros.  :) The kids were so excited and had a really hard time not running when they'd see a house with its lights on.  I loved it.  

 We had fun! Kolton counted his candy afterwards...like always! Who doesn't?! :) 

 Kolton still has a ton of candy in his bucket.  Brady and I have started snacking on it every so often and there is still a bunch! I'd call that a successful year of trick or treating! 

Bonfire!!

Kolton and his faces.  :) 

 Grandma let Kolton play her harp.  At first she just laid it on his shoulder for him to hold it up himself but he was struggling with that so she helped him.  :) 


Sunday evening we did a campfire for dinner.  We cooked hotdogs! I was excited!!






 Almost every morning Kolton would go out with my mom to play fetch with Sadie.  He liked throwing the frisbee for her.  
 I don't think I took any pictures while we were doing the campfire.  Cam and Tyler took turns taking HUNDREDS of pictures of everything.  haha.
 The frisbee accidentally went below the trampoline so Shawn and Tyler took a spring out and Kolton climbed down under and got it.  

 I don't know why I'm making such weird faces but Korver was cracking up.  





 Example of one of the hundreds of pictures they took...  Haha.  
 Shawn raked up some leaves and Kolton and Korver had fun playing in them together.  



 We also had races around the perimeter of my parent's backyard.  I raced Lizzie and Cam and I totally lost. Kolton raced too and did awesome.  
After dinner and playing we roasted marshmallows and had s'mores. Mmmmm.  So good!   
Cam and I also made cake balls that night.  They didn't turn out so good.  Haha.  
Kolton and I had such a fun time in Utah! It was so great to see everyone and spend time with them! I'm so glad we got to go!
