Colby got all shy as we sang "Happy Birthday" to him!! The Herticas and Kai Kai and Kristin all came over to help celebrate tonight :)

Watching him open his presents was the highlight of the day!! He would squeal with each present he opened, and then want to play with it right away!! So cute :)

The adorable Astronaut suit Aunt Marty got for him...He told everyone all about how astronauts go where it is "dark." :)

He hit the motherlode with Mickey Mouse stuff!! Blanket, sheets, laundry hamper, shirt, jammies, DVD, coloring book, cars, Vtech computer, lunchpail...fun fun!!

Washington, D.C. Family Trip
We just got home from our trip to Washington, D.C. to visit Aunt Marty!! We had a wonderful trip...one of my favorite trips yet!! Aunt Marty was an amazing hostess!! I am always happy to be around my Aunt....she is a connection to my mom and truly one of my favorite people on this earth!! Thank you for the generous gift of this trip & time together as a family :) We love you!!!
She made us all goodie bags with things that we enjoy...She had these M&Ms made that say "Kenzie Kaleb" and "Jackson Colby." So adorable!!!

We took a "Duck Tour" of DC. The first half was on land, and the second in the water! This was a great morning!!

Madisyn's 6th Birthday Party
Jack got invited to Madisyn's 6th birthday party. It was a fun day filled with Chick-fil-a lunch, Paint a Memory, and then Coldstone ice cream! It was Jack & 4 other little girls :) He's the man!!
The girls all chose hearts & cupcakes to paint..Jack chose a golf ball! I have no idea why he chose that...They had a monster truck & every other sport option to choose from!!

Happy 9 Years to Us!!!!
Kaleb & I celebrated our 9 Year anniversary on August 5th!! Well actually, we weren't together on our anniversary since Kaleb took the boys camping & I went to my dad's house to sleep off mono...But we did celebrate before he left, with dinner at the OC Mining Company. It was very fun!!
