Cookie & Boys!

It is so fun having my Mom here visiting! Troy just loves having Cookie here to play with. Colt loves having Cookie give him his bottle :) And I love having an extra set of hands around the house!

Viva Las Vegas!

We had a BLAST on our Vegas weekend! Kevin's parents just bought a condo there and we took advantage of it being empty this weekend. We took Troy and Colt down to the strip on Saturday to show them all of the fun things at the Casinos. These pictures should show how much else there is to do down there besides gamble! In addition to these pictures, we saw the Lion Habitat at the MGM, went to M&M World and Coca-Cola Factory, saw the talking statues at Caesar's & ate at the Cheesecake Factory. Troy was such a good sport being in his stroller allllllll day, but I think he had enough to see to keep him entertained!

Pete Rose signing autographs for $100- Guess that's what he has to do for money these days since his gambling addiction! Yikes!


We took this picture for Papa Rick & Grandpa Paul outside the Calaway Golf Store

Colt's Blessing Day

Kevin blessed Baby Colt at church on Easter Sunday. It was fun to have all of our family there for the holiday. We had a fun dinner and egg hunt after church with everybody.

Easter Fun

We had a great Easter with Colt here! Troy loved the Easter Egg Hunt at the city ball park. He loaded up on candy and didn't notice when I stole all the chocolate pieces in the car! As you can see, both Troy and Colt loved their baskets of goodies. Troy kept asking where the Easter Bunny lived and wasn't satisfied with my answer of "in the ground." He corrected me with, "No, under our road."

Twinners!

When I was getting Troy dressed last week, he asked me if he could be "twinners" with Colt for the day. After he had on his jeans and white polo shirt like Colt, he informed me that he needed a bib like Colt too. He wore it around all morning, till Colt had his off and then it was OK for Troy to take his off too!

My Chunk!

Here is my sweet boy today as he sat next to me while I was on the computer. I had to post a pic of his chunky little legs, though they are nothing in comparison of his older brothers legs at this age! Kev and I are going to pull out the video camera tonight and watch some video of Troy at this age! So fun!

Matching Boys!

Yep, I'm going to be one of those mean, mean mom's that dresses their kids in matching clothes! But aren't they so cute!

So Cute!

Here are just some more pictures of my boys! Colt has been struggling with some things lately but we are hoping that he is coming out of it! He's a very good boy for the discomfort I know that he is in. Troy told me this morning he loves having a baby brother. He's so sweet with him, gets right in his face and smiles & shakes his head around and says, "Hi Colty Boy, Hi Colty Boy". I couldn't ask for sweeter boys!

My boys!

Just taken a few pictures of Colt and of course Troy had to get in on the action!

Our Little Angel

Just had to post these sweet pictures I just took of Colt. I know every Mom thinks this but doesn't he just look like an angel!!! I love him to pieces!

Troy + Vasaline = A MESS!

Today, while I was feeding Colt, I thought that Troy was in my bedroom watching "Beauty and the Beast" (his favorite movie this week) I heard him yell, "Mom, I can't get down!" so I went to check on him. He had crawled into Colt's Pack & Play crib and got into a huge tub of Vasaline and it was EVERYWHERE! Of course, I grabbed the camera before I got mad at him! It was SO thick in his hair that we had to shave his hair off and it ruined the clippers in the process! I had to wash his clothes and everything he got it on 3 times in the washer to get it all out. What a little trouble maker!

Can't Forget Troy!

With all these pictures of Colt, I can't forget Troy! This is what he has been up to lately: being silly, playing dead and rolling off the couch, playing with Colt's toys & cuddling with Cookie during her 3 week visit. (We miss you Cookie! Come back!)

Baby Colt!

We are so glad to have our little Colty-Boy in our home! He is an angel and a blessing!!!

Colt in the Hospital

As most of you guys know, Baby Colt caught RSV when he was 14 days old and had to be admitted into the hospital for a week. Basically, RSV is a cold to older kids and adults but since Colt was so little, he couldn't clear out the mucus out of his throat on his own like we can. So every 3 hours in the hospital, they had to stick a tiny tube down his nose to the bottom of his throat and suction out the mucus. We had to stay until the mucus had cleared out on it's own, which ended up being a week. We were lucky enough to get Colt off of the oxygen the night before we left so we didn't have to deal with an oxygen tank at home. It was a hard week on Colt, being poked so badley all week and even harder on me having to watch it happen! It was a VERY long week of sleeping in a recliner chair and I am SO glad to be home and have my little guy doing so much better! My mom and dad saved the day by taking care of Troy all week. It was such a blessing to have their visit here overlap with our hospital visit. I don't know what we would have done without them!
