Catch Up

Dearest Colton and Jax,

Just as it does every year, summer is wrapping up without my permission.  I guess my I-can't-believe-it's-almost-fall-hangover is my reason for not getting out the camera at all in the last week.  Trusty i-Phone to the rescue!  Here's a glimpse into us recently:

Colt, you found the markers.  Again.


We've taken advantage of having the pool within walking distance.


I've spent hours on this decompression table.


Jax, you played dress up to show Grandma the costume she bought for you.


A quick picture - before Sea World, I think.?.?.


Colt, you slept through almost our entire lunch on the riverwalk!


We visited the pediatrician this week for your 2 year check up.  You top the charts across the board with a height of 36.5 inches, a weight of 32lbs 9oz, and a head circumference of 51 cm!  


We hit fun milestones this week as we had to buy a lunch box for you, Jackson, and a potty seat for you, Colt!  I'll be packing your lunch a few times this year - at your big boy school - so we took you to the store to pick out your own lunch box!  You didn't even hesitate as you walked straight to this Lightning McQueen metal lunch box!  Colton, you've been very excited about sitting on the potty lately, so we got you your own seat.  You've peed in the potty once so far and we totally celebrated that accomplishment!  


Daddy got a new job -- and that meant that he had to give the van back to his old company.  To replace it, we bought a truck and you couldn't be happier, Jax.  You love the truck - you say so yourself - and you'll talk about it with anyone who will listen.  We went out to dinner with Deanna & Kristy recently and you were both ecstatic to share your truckthusiasm with the ladies.


We took Daddy shopping for new clothes for his new job and you happened upon THE "it" item of the season!  This necklace (pictured here in orange) is all the rage amongst girls who accessorize and we about gave the salesperson a heart attack as you played with this nearly $100 "toy"!  


Your brother decided that now that you're 2, he could teach you to climb in and out of your crib, Colton.  Bummer!  You boys think it's a blast to play in there together and I think our crib days are quickly coming to an end.  An unrelated note:  we got your back-to-school haircut today, Jackson - look how handsome you are!!!


Jax, you asked if you could snap a picture of us and I think it turned out darling!  Colt, I love your big smile in this one!!


I so love summertime with you boys!
