New Beginnings

Colby started Kindergarten today. He insisted on riding the bus and was not the least bit scared about it. I promptly got in the car and drove to his school to make sure he was ok and to get some pictures. But lets be honest.....I didn't go there to make sure he was ok. I knew he was, it was for my sake! As I watched him get on the bus my heart and eyes swelled. My heart swelled with a contradiction of emotions. Such joy and such sadness. Such joy because he is SO ready and confident, and this is a milestone of new-found freedom. I am so proud of him! And sadness, becuase it means he is growing up and won't be at home with me anymore. I have to hand him over to others that I hope take good care of him and love him as much as I do.

*Big SIGH*

Nothin' But Love For the C* Family!

This past June we took some family photos. Thanks to Abbi's Sis-in-law, Jessi. She did such a great job! Thank you!!! I sure love these people! Here are some selections of the shoot.

This sweet boy turned 1 this weekend!

I think he likes it!

Oh, I love my Joshie so much!!!!

SWEET is the best way to describe our Joshie. He is the most pleasant little human being on the planet. And he is a TOTAL blondie! Love it! This boy makes my heart smile on a regular basis. Heavenly Father blessed us with his sweet spirit at just a time when we needed it! We are so grateful for him and love him to pieces. Happy Birthday Joshie!

The Boys' New Toy

Nate bought the boys a little 4-wheeler this last weekend. Colby went to check it out for the first time and he came back and said to Nate, "You are the best Dad ever!" It was cute and they are so excited about it! And Colby is a pretty good driver. Check out the video of him in action below.
