Colton is 5!

Sweet Colton had a bit of a bust for his 5th birthday party yesterday! It was a beautiful day and we headed up to the pool and there was barely a cloud in the sky. After only an hour it started lightening and they shut down the pool! Colton was still happy and felt like he had a fun birthday party, but some of the kids had come late and they hadn't even gotten to swim. We quickly ate some pizza, sang, cut the cookie cake, and then everyone had to head home. Colton spent the rest of the evening happily playing with his toys at home.

We also had a great time on Friday night with an impromptu party with the Jameson's! We had gotten together at Kuby's for dinner and we were all enjoying each other's company so the Jameson's invited us to their house to play for a bit. Reagan and Rebekah had a pinterest cake adventure and so we turned it into mini-birthday for Colton!

A bit about Colton at 5:
- Still not one tiny bit interested in writing, reading, or crafts
- Obsessed with Legos, hot wheels, and Paw Patrol
- Crawls in bed beside me every night. If it is after 5am, he usually stays in bed by me. If it is before 5am, he falls asleep in our bed and then I move him to the couch. He always stays on the couch for the rest of the night. I love his snuggles, but he makes me so hot that I have to move him to the couch in order to be able to sleep.
- His favorite color is green, favorite food is ice cream, favorite thing about school is recess, favorite lovey is Big Dog, his best friend is Benjamin
- He loves taking baths and would take one in the morning and one in the evening if we would let him
- He is very loud and is singing, talking, or yelling most of the day - his singing is incredibly sweet, the yelling, not as sweet
- He has lots of questions lately. A few examples, "How did the salt get in the ocean?"; "How are TVs made?"; "If a bowling ball fell out of a plane, would it crash all the way through a building?"

He completes our family and I am so thankful for his snuggles, quirky habits (LONG time in the bathroom, only sleeps in boxers), laughter and adorable face. So glad God let us be your parents!
