Wedding...what more can I say?

This last week or so has been so busy! Brady's sister, Jaycee, got married on Saturday to Adam Stevens. So, along with that came some pretty packed days! :) Thursday she went through the temple to receive her endowment and Dylen had a track meet. Friday was set up at the church for the reception and taking pictures of Jaycee and Adam. Saturday was the wedding, luncheon, finding the projector for the video I made of Jaycee and Adam to show at the reception, taking pictures of the family and such before the reception, the reception, and finally, take down and clean up of the reception. Sunday was church, saying good-bye to out of town visitors, family dinner and sleep. Then Monday came and I had to catch up on everything I hadn't done around the house for the past week...laundry, dishes, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning the whole house (which I'm still not done with...). Brady has been really busy on his final project for one of his classes. He had to perform a research project and then collect and analyze his data and write a report. Then he has finals next week he has to study for so he'll be busy all week and weekend!

Here are some pictures from our week.

Kolton loves to play the piano. Anytime I'm in the office he'll go over to the piano, pat the bench and say "map" which means "lap" but can also mean "get me up on that piece of furniture so I can sit on it"

He woke up from a nap on Monday with his hair looking like this:


Kolton fell on the Monday before the wedding and scraped up his forehead. The poor guy was walking up to the house and tripped and fell on the driveway and this was the result. We felt so bad for him! ;)

Since everyone was in town for Jaycee's wedding, we all went to watch Dylen run in a track meet. Dylen did really well! Unfortunately, on the last race his groin cramped up, but he is doing better now. Here is a picture of him running in the 4x8.
Kolton learned how to knock on things while there. You have to do everything to keep him from wanting to climb all over the bleachers! He's a good boy, though, I can't complain!

He was so tuckered out near the end of the day. Everyday last week was so packed and his schedule was so thrown off that he actually fell asleep on me! This is a very rare occurance!


Jaycee and Adam had some pictures taken of them on Friday, the day before their wedding. I tagged along because I wanted to put pictures of them in their wedding attire in the movie I made for their reception. This one is just taken in Brady's parent's entry way. Don't they look like they're in love? And they both look so pretty!


Kolton all dressed up at the temple for Jaycee and Adam's wedding. All three boys wore the same outfit. They looked so cute!
Kolton and I at the temple.

The bride and groom with the three boys. Very difficult to get a picture of all three of them! I had another one where Kolton is smiling, but one of his cousins is missing, so I chose this one where they are all there and everyone is looking this direction! ;)

Kolton got ANOTHER bump on his head today. I'm not sure, but I'm thinking he fell into the hinge on the door...

Practice Makes Perfect

Saturday night we went with the Foys to the batting cages. Brady was pretty impressed with how many balls I actually hit! :) Sterling started a softball team in our ward to play at a church league. At first Brady wasn't on the team, but last week he decided to join. So, we went on Thursday to his first game and they played one inning! What a bummer! They got rained out...Anyway, Brady had a lot of fun!


See my horrible form?! :)
Brady getting ready to bat.

Awesome hit!

They had a little bat there that Kolton just walked around with the whole time pushing it around. Check out that tuft of hair flying in the wind! Yes, he's finally growing some hair! ;)

Kolton and I at the batting cages. Can you tell it was windy? Gotta love Oklahoma!

15 month old driver

Here are some things we've done the past few days...just to keep you up to date! Ha! :)
We brought Brady and Robby some lunch while they were working on Tuesday. While they ate Kolton and I just hung out and talked to them. Kolton LOVES to sit in the driver's seat and pretend to drive.

Here Kolton is talking to Brady and Robby. He thought that was pretty fun! :]
Then, the next day I was cleaning out the car from the trash of the lunch before and had left the keys on the console. Kolton was playing in the car and grabbed the keys and started trying to put them in the slot. He did it a couple of times! Pretty crazy!

Brady made his return to basketball Wednesday night. He hasn't played in about 3 or 4 months since he tore his hamstring the last time he played. Anyway, it doesn't start until 9:00 which is way past Kolton's normal bed time but I really wanted to go and watch him so we kept him up and took him with us. He only got hit in the face once with the ball, so that is good!

Kolton lounging on the way to the park Saturday afternoon. It was really nice Saturday!

Kolton at the park in his now favorite swing. The baby swings are so hard to swing in since they have to hold their head the whole time, so Kolton liked this once because he could just sit back and relax. It is kind of scary for mom and dad, though, because there is nothing to keep your kid in...So Brady stood to the side in case he needed to catch a falling child while I pushed him.

Kolton got 2 popsicles this week! He really liked them, although he doesn't really eat them. All he does is just put it in and out of his mouth and if he's lucky he'll get a taste.



Brady is going to play softball this spring and so we went to buy him a glove and then decided to buy Kolton one too even though he is pretty young to use one. If you strap it on real tight, it will stay on there and you can throw the ball in to the mit. Anyway, he was having a ton of fun and then just randomly broke out in this...so we figured it was time for a nap! :)

A week of fun new things!

It has been such a long time since I've updated. I really shouldn't do that since I take so many pictures!

We went to one of Dylen's track meets last week down at OU. Kolton really enjoyed our Jamba Juice and looking through the railing.
Kolton playing on the bleachers with Dad. It is so hard to keep him entertained!

Dylen running at the track meet at OU. It was fun to be able to go. Dylen is the one in second place in the blue top and red shorts.

Just a picture of Kolton I thought was sweet.
Kolton rinsing dishes for me. I was making dinner and he was getting impatient, so I pulled up a chair, turned on the water and let him have at it. He really enjoyed it! It was fun!

Brady bought this little toy at the party store a while ago. We just found it and he taught Kolton how to use it. It makes farting sounds (yes, I know, my husband is so mature! :)).

Playing in his room with a teddy bear that Grandma and Grandpa Moffett gave him.

Kolton has been dying to try and feed himself. Here is his first real attempt. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeding him something that is that easy to scoop up. He did alright, though. Yesterday I gave him bigger pasta shells and he did awesome with those!

Kolton helped me make cookies last week. I am trying to find a recipe that both Brady and I like...I've had no such luck. Anyway, I let Kolton eat the cookie dough on the beater. He L-O-V-E-D it!



Coming out of the bedroom to see his basket. It was put right in the middle of the floor so that is all he would see when he came out.



Kolton checking out what the Easter bunny brought him in his basket. He was way more in to it than I thought he would at this age.

Kolton loves to push things around! The Easter Bunny gave him a golf set for Easter (big mistake!) and he loves to push the caddy around. Unfortunately, he isn't really allowed to play with the golf clubs...He hits everything but the balls.


After church we let Kolton get in to his peeps. He thought that was pretty cool!

We went and visited Lilly's grave on Sunday as well. It was raining, so just I got out and left her some flowers, but she was in our thoughts all day. It is because of Easter that we can be with her again!

Kolton sharing some of his peeps with Dad.

Best friends! :) Kolton and Kade and Brady's parent's house. Finally Kolton isn't the only one beating people up! :)

We placed 12 eggs around the house and had Kolton go around and "find" them. He thought it was fun for the first 5 or so, but after that we kind of had to make him get the rest. Here he is trying to share with Kade.

Buy one Get one free

Our friend told us this week at Toys R Us they had some toys buy one get one free. We went with the Foys to go see what we could find. Unfortunately, we couldn't find two toys from the buy one get one section to buy, so instead, we left with 2 buy one buy another one toys. :)
Kolton loves to play with my vacuum, so we got him his own hoping that would curb his love for mine. And, yes, it has helped a lot! He can vacuum with his own vacuum!

The other toy we got him was the blow-up ball pit. He loves to play with it. He especially loves playing peek-a-boo with it and crawling in and out of it.

Kolton throwing a ball to me.






This week I bought Kolton some flip-flops. I love them! I dont' know how much Kolton likes to wear them, but I think they are so cute!


OK, so I know the little tag thing is still on the sunglasses, but I had just come home with them from the mall. :) Kolton and I were making faces at the camera. He's so funny!



And, we've started a new diet this last week, so naturally, we ate Oreos! :) We let Kolton help himself to a couple and he LOVED them! He would try and stuff as much in his mouth as he could.





Today we had a lot of fun family time. Kolton was in a great mood (which is always wonderful) and we just had fun! You have to love days like today.
