No cavities!

Colton picked rootbeer flavored toothpaste at the dentist with Miss Kelly.  No cavities!  First visit with dental insurance thanks to Shaun's job!


King of the mountain!

Colton on top of the dirt pile from the driveway project!  Shaun used part of the pile as a base for his woodshed... Yet another project for busy busy daddy!


Driveway project phase one

The boys watching the Bobcat dig out for the new driveway.  Check out Mr. No Pants in photo two!  Blacktop coming soon!!





Playground visit

Bates Road playground is awesome!  Too bad Colton won't be going to school there!  Gymnastics on the Olympics led to the first picture. 





Forts!!!

Colton loves building forts & Maddox "the hurricane" loves playing AND smashing them down.  :)


Springdale Farms

We visited Springdale Farms, fed the goats, had a picnic with Mimi & Papa and played on the playground!

I asked why not?

Back in the saddle...

Nonna helping Colton get over his fear of tubing/waterskiing after his fall in.  "if you're going slow, i'll tell you to go slower."  He is not really a fan again yet.  Still some tears, but getting better!!


Selling some property

We are selling 1 acre from across the road!  Shaun cleared part of it out & discovered a lot of blackberries!




Blackberries

We picked around 8 quarts of blackberries.  Most made their way into jam!  The freezer is full!

Cooler baby

"I paid $100 and $50 for a cooler baby than Maddox who wears green all the time and he lives in my tummy with 100 more babies."  - Colton
