We have had such a BUSY week!! It has been so much fun though! After playgroup on Tuesday, and a nap, we went to the airport to go pick my mom up who came to visit from Utah. We were so excited! She got to come here and see Kolton trick-or-treat for the first time!
Her flight got delayed a little because they had to de-ice the play in Utah before they could take off (which makes me laugh because it was like 60 here!) so Kolton got to play around a little in the airport. Then, when we found her (we missed her coming out and going down to the baggage claim) he was so excited! It was so cute! Look at them!
And yes, I went completely collage happy with this post because I had SOOO many pictures I wanted/needed (yes needed :)) to post that it would have taken forever and this post would have been ridiculously long!
Kolton got a new toy from Grandma while she was here. It was a perfect fit! Kolton and cars.
These pictures make me laugh because it totally looks like Christmas morning to me!
Then, on Wednesday we went to go find a pumpkin. I was a little disappointed because there wasn't much to pick from. No pumpkin was actually decent, but this one would do. Kolton loved the pumpkin before and after we carved it, but not while we were carving it! He was very grossed out by the insides. It was funny, though, because after we were done and put the pumpkin out on the porch he told us over and over what we did with the pumpkin. His story would include talk of the table, of yucky stuff on our hands, Daddy cutting it, repeated three times! ;)
Wednesday night Brady and I had to drive out to Harrah to get a lady's signature. When we registered Jewel, one of our great danes, we wrote the wrong date on the papers. So, when we went to register the litter, according to AKC, we didn't have here when she would have conceived so they wouldn't let us register the litter. So, we had to find the lady who had her before us and ask her to sign a paper that had the correct date. Anyway, we didn't get ahold of her until 7:30 or so that night so my mom said she would stay and watch Kolton while we went out to Harrah. Kolton had so much fun with her while we were gone! It was great to be able to leave him with her! We ended up getting a little confused/lost and then was at this lady's house for like 40 minutes or some crazy amount like that! Kolton would NOT have had fun!
On Thursday since it was all rainy and cold outside we thought it would be cool to let Kolton use his finger painting set that Jeff and Vanessa got him for Christmas last year. This was the first time I was getting it out just because I never wanted to have to deal with the mess by myself. However, it actually wasn't hardly messy at all. Kolton was sure to be neat with it. He didn't want to finger paint, but he really enjoyed painting with the brushes!
These videos make me laugh! I didn't get it on tape the first time, but when he first started painting, he immediately went to eat the paint off the paint brush. Where he got the idea you eat it, I don't know! :) Then later, when he got it on his fingers, he tried to eat it again! Then, when Brady was painting the paint on his hand, Kolton enjoyed it and even giggled a little, but once he was done putting his hand print on the page, he wanted it off!
We also went to lunch on Thursday with Brady's parents at Chilis. Kolton had a pretty big meltdown, after he bit his tongue (what I think happened). He was sitting there eating chips and queso and all of a sudden just shrieked out in pain and started pulling at his mouth. I thought at first the queso might have been too hot for him, but he had been eating it all along, so I'm guessing he had to have bit his tongue or cheek or something. He does something everytime we go out to eat with anyone. When it is just us, things seem to go very smoothly, but when anyone else is involved, he has some sort of issue! Why is it always that way??
Friday was the ward Halloween party. After dinner they did a costume parade on the stage. I asked Kolton if he wanted to go with the other kids and he said "YEAH!" and jumped off my laugh and went and got in line. I couldn't believe he actually did it! He walked across the stage and everything! He even was stopped and smiled and waved! As his mom, I thought it was darling!
He went trunk-or-treating with Brady, Madison, and my mom while I stayed at our car and passed out candy. He caught on pretty quick that if he said "trick or treat" and held up his bucket he would get candy. Brady said afterward he would yell "thank you" as they walked away.
He was so excited to show me his candy! Its so fun to be a mom to a little boy!!
On Halloween, Brady went to the OU game with Sterling, Brenon, and Austin. Brittney came over with Kade, at dinner with us, and then we went trick or treating. We took pictures of the boys before we left. They were so cute in their costumes and being so silly!! They are seriously being raised as cousins! Its so awesome!
Kolton and Kade give each other knuckles and high fives. We got them to do it during our little photo shoot and snapped a picture of them giving "knuckles." It makes me laugh because it totally looks like they are punching each other!
We went trick-or-treating in a neighborhood down the street. It took us a VERY long time to go down like a street and a half total! ;) We were out there for an hour. It was so funny to take them around. They needed so much guidance from house to house. They were confused why they were leaving one house with candy to go walk down the sidewalk to another house. It was a blast! By the time we were done, both of us were holding our kids and their buckets.
As we were walking, my mom looked around to see where Kolton was and he was a couple feet behind us playing with a fire hydrant. How funny! So, we had to take a picture to capture the moment! A fireman with his fire hydrant! At one house, one little boy said to Kolton, "Are you going to save us?" It was cute!
Isn't this just THE sweetest picture you've seen? I love it! I told him to fold his arm like he was a little punk, but he did this. It was cute! And then proceeded to say "chrrrriiiissst. amen."
Grandma left on Sunday to go back home. We were sad to see her go. Kolton screamed as we left the airport. He had so much fun with her! She watched movies with him, tickled his knee, came with him every time he said "mhere," was there every time he woke up from his nap, even went to bed with him one night. He loved playing with her and we look forward to seeing her again sometime soon!
We had a really fun week and enjoyed all the fun Halloween activities! Kolton loved trick or treating, knocking on peoples doors, saying tick or treat, picking a sucker every chance he had, and yelling thank you and bye as we walked away. Oh, and OU won on Saturday so the boys had fun too! :)
