Entertaining Kolt

I mixed a couple of drops of blue food coloring with some Cool Whip & put it on Kolt's highchair tray. He had so much fun & was fully entertained for a good 20 minutes, just banging away on his tray & squishing the cool whip between his fingers. Messy, but entertaining!

Justin spent the night with us this past weekend. You would not believe how many pictures were taken to capture just one picture of all 3 boys smiling (even if Kolt still has peaches from breakfast on his nose). Justin is our 7 year old nephew, but he could pass for one of my boys. He has blonde, curly hair just like Kelton. We went out to my parents on Saturday. Ty, my sisters boyfriend, breaks & trains cutting horses for a living. This really impresses Kelton, so he decided he was gonna be a "cowboy" like Ty & ride Sway. I offered to ride with him, but I wanted to ride with Aubin instead. Whatever. Sway is such an old, gentle horse. No saddle or bit required. I cannot figure out why this is blue, much less why it is underlined?!?!?

MAY 2009

Wow, I cannot believe May is already over. I guess with a 3 year old and an 8 month old, every month flies by. Kelton had his end of the year program for Mothers Day Out & it was really cute. He actually sang this year. Last year he was like a deer in headlights. James' dad passed away very unexpectedly from an aneurysm on May 24th in Albuquerque, New Mexico. As you can imagine, we were all in total shock. We spent 5 days in Albuquerque & Roswell with everyone, which was nice, though we wish it had been under different circumstances. Still, it was good to spend time with everyone. James has always and continues to amaze me with his maturity & wisdom when it comes to dealing with difficult situations. He is truly one of the strongest people I know. He gets that from his mama. This May has been very bittersweet for us. Keith's death has made all of us extra grateful for all of our friends and family and the blessings that they are to us.
