Colton's October Trip to TN








Colton came to TN to stay for a few days in October. As usual, we had so much fun with him! Timothy and I got to carve our first pumpkin with him. Unfortunately for me, Timothy and Colton don't like the insides of the pumpkin so it was up to me to clean it out (like father, like son). Colton wanted his pumpkin to have diamond and square eyes, a triangle nose, and five teeth...so that is just what he got. Uncle Tony had given us a rocking horse for Colton and he loved it. He called him Trigger and wanted to ride him all the time. Timothy also gave Colton a haircut and he was so great for it. He smiled the whole time!
We also went to Mt. Pleasant for all the family to visit with him there. He got to see him favorite animals, Jack and Bella, Steve and Judy's donkeys. He was such a good boy playing with Emerson, he would hold him so carefully and give him a kiss on the head. He was all into Steve (Buddy)  this trip and kept calling himself Buddy's guy. It was precious he always had to know where Steve was and each morning he made muffins with Steve for breakfast and they would call themselves the muffin men.
 Colton also got to hang out with Sophie and they had a blast jumping and playing in the leaves at mom and dads. Colton liked to run and tackle Sophie into the leaves, Sophie wasn't to sure about it but she was a good sport.
On the last day of his trip we took him to Steve's work and let him see all the big trucks and ride around in one. He absolutely loved this!!! He laughed and smiled the whole time. He also enjoyed blowing the big horn and probably waking up most people in town.
It is so much fun to have him here with us and get a little taste of what an amazing little boy he is. Each time we just fall in love with him even more! This year we get to have him for Thanksgiving and we can't wait to see what he has up his sleeve then. He will definitely be something we are very thankful for this Thanksgiving!
