Hi Loralei

<p>Obviously colton has been having lots of fun with the Gailie girls lately... we went to genesee country village trick or treating and of course miss susies on Monday.   Monday evening we were playing cars and trains and Colton yells out "come on Loralei lets play trucks!"

I love spaghetti!!!

Gooey's first taste of spaghetti!  He is a fan!!!

Good Ole Coats

Not sure if "Coats" has been introduced to the blog, but Coats is Colton's best good imaginary buddy!  Momma asked Colton to pick up his books this morning and Colton responded with, "I dont think thats a good idea because Coats said he was coming over to help you instead of me.  Do you want me to call him momma?  Yea let me call him...  55112983 Hello Coats how are you doing?  Are you coming over to help pick up these books today?  YOU ARE!  great ok Coats see you in a while.  Momma coats said he's coming over and it will be about 10 minutes because he lives in Rochester, but its a different Rochester than Sisi."

WOW COATS!  HA HA HA

Sisi's new adventure

We helpes move sisi into her new home in charlotte! Just down the road (one mile) from work.  We had fun playing with the big exercise ball, keys, and exploring the new home.  Uncle Bruce Aunt debbie papa Mimi liz sara evan helped move stuff.  Daddy drove a uhaul mover truck.  Colton gave sisi a "house warmer" present.  House warmer ha ha

Spider car

At grampa and nonnas there is a matchbox car that looks like a spider. Colton gets there and everytime finds that spider car to chase nonna around making here scream. 

Do you know what this is?

Colton asked mimi this question while holding up a portable time Warner home phone. What asked mimi?  Colton replied An OLD FASHION PHONE!

Ha ha

Day one adventure

Today is my first day off work and Colton had fun.  Me too.  We went to doctor beaneys and found out Colton had a lovely ear infection.   But atleast there was this cool car in the doctors room!  Then we went to home depot to check out blown in insulation cost and Colton boy tried out a zero turn mower.   And then we went to rite aid to get medicine.  Colton sees the adult diapers and was really checking them out. So i asked whatcha looking at? He says i was looking at these pink marshmallows in the package. Ha ha ha.

Good times with Grampa

Grampa took Colton to the fishing derby at the Archers club down on the Oak Orchard!   Apparently he yelled out to the guys," how'd you catch that big fish? "

Colton told Grampa as they left, "wow Grampa that was a great adventure! !"

Sleeping in

I figured something out this morning.  Only took three and a half years of being a parent.  When you are a parent understand the definition of sleeping in changes.  Sleeping in no longer involved the afternoon, rolling around for hours, watching tv, thinking about getting up, etc.  I slept in this morning because I woke up on my own accord.  Dogs did not wake me up, kids did not wake me up, an alarm did not wake me up, I was ready to get up.  This morning I woke up at 7:05am ready to go, I slept in!

Idea

Colton was eating a bagel and licking his lips to clean up the pb and j, and here is the convo:
Dad: where'd you get that idea from?
Colton:  ummm...  from my father, that's you.

Hunting

Dad: today is the first day of hunring season
Colton: I want to go too!  I have been a very good listener!
Dad:  weeellll...  You have to be really quiet and wait for bucky.
Colton:  I can do that!

Haha!!!  Maybe there is a deaf 14 pt buck out back just waiting for "quiet" colton.  :)

Helicopter and Maddox walking

Colton went with Grampa yesterday to see a Helicopter!  Mr. Heard let him check it all out, sit in it and everything (I think, according to Colton).   How cool.

Maddox is just about walking.  He can stand up stable for a good 20 seconds and takes about 2 steps and sits down.  Holy moly we need to Maddox proof the house!

Yeaaaah for Sisi!

Sisi found out today that she passed her big test!!!  Mama called her to say CONGRATS and left a voicemail.  Colton said I was too loud and should be quiet excited next time.  Then he asked if Sisi did a good enough job to get a sticker!!!  :)  I said she did so well she could have TWO!!!  :)

Baby

Colton said tonight that he has a baby in his tummy and it's going to be ready to come out soon.  :)  ha!

Carrot Party

"I'm havin' a carrot party for Uncle Bunky.  I'm makin' a cake!"  Dad says, be careful with that fork, it's sharp.  Colton:  i'm always careful, dad!

GUN range

Maddox took bus first trip to the gun range in the backyard when John came over.  He had to try out his new remington shotgun for deer.season 2011.  Maddox got scared after three shots but he was ok with daddy.  Good shooting John!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN NIGHT LIGHT!

Shhhhh

Secrets make for good surprises! Santa hopes Mr. Colton continues to be a good boy!  Yes there is an emergency pull cord for beginners.  Who knew this could be so much fun.  Santa called Mrs Claus to go downstairs to keep the workshop creations secret!

Laundry

New helper in town!!!  Great at folding washclothes and towels!!!

Roadside stop

Stopped for a quick "break" @ the wildlife sanctuary on the way home from a busy day at the zoo with the Gailie family and to see Alex, Amber and Joe in Buffalo.

Newman

This post is over due and I was avoiding it a little bit I'm sure.  Saturday October 1st, 2011 Uncle Brian Bunky Newman Buckner passed away.  A very sad time with some GREAT memories of a truly kind hearted man.  It was amazing to hear that Unka Bunky went out of his way to avoid going to heaven until it was after birthdays and after when people came to visit he wanted to say goodbye to. This gesture and his comments like, "it wont be long now," "sorry its taking so long," and "you better get going and get back to your life," made me realize how caring he is for everyone else except himself.

May the Lord bless him and keep him.

May the Lord make his face to shine upon him, 

and be gracious to him.

May the Lord lift up his countenance upon him, 

and give him peace.

Unka Bunky

'Went to Buckville last night for a memorial bonfire for Uncle Bunky.  On the way to packing up and getting in our truck Colton says, "there's unka bunky's truck.  Did he walk to where he is now in Heaven?"  We told him that God and Jesus helped carry him.  :')
