Colton turns 3!

To celebrate Colton we had a little get together at a hotel swimming pool. The grandparents were all able to be there, as well as Nate & Amanda, Nick & Courtney, Sarah & Charlee and Jamie, Jeff & Keller! The kids were very excited to get to go swimming. They were singing a "Let's go swimming" song all the way to the hotel pool. This was a made up song, that basically consisted of the words "Let's go swimming" repeated over and over and over and over . . .

At the request of the birthday boy, I made a construction site cake. He wanted a backhoe and this was about as close as I could get. He thought it was great that he could drive the dump truck right off the side of the cake! It tasted delicious as well!

Here is a picture of Colton and Charlee. They are relaxing in the hot tub! I didn't get in the water, but apparently it was freezing. Brian spent most of his time in the pool throwing the boys up in the air and letting them jump to him in the deep end.

Keller, Colton and Charlee blowing out the candles on the cake! We sang 'Happy Birthday' four different times so each kid could have a chance to blow out the candles, although I think ever time, they all helped eachother!

Colton is giving Charlee a hug and thanking her for his new Team Umi Zoomi bath toys!

On the day of Colton's birthday, he woke up to a bedroom full of balloons and he got to take cupcakes to Mindy's to share with all of his friends. Austin also got to go to Mindy's for the day, which was a special birthday treat for Colton! Mindy had a gift for Colton and also had a little birthday party for him in the morning. Each kid at her house, got a teenage mutant ninja turtle party favor and a cupcake too! At the end of the day Brian and I picked up the boys and the five of us went to Pizza Ranch. After dinner, we went home to open gifts and call one of Colton's birthday buddies . . . Uncle Jon (who was turning 30 the same day!) So, we talked to Jon for a minute and then had to get right back to opening up gifts.
