Tandem Wakeboarding!

Devin and I tried tandem wakeboarding for the first time. We've tandem surfed a few times so we thought we'd give this a try. We got up on our second attempt and it was alot of fun. It worked out nicely since Devin rides goofy and I ride regular so we could stand comfortably on the same board. My job was to basically just wrap around Devin as tight as I could while he pulled us up out of the water. Then I just climbed down and rode on the wakeboard with him.

Orange County Fair!

We went to the Orange County Fair and had a ton of fun. I ate the best snow cone ever and had a corn dog and carmeled apple...delicious! Devin had a gigantic turkey leg. Colton got to take his first ferris wheel ride. Devin did that game where you hit the hammer as hard as you can and won me a stuffed animal. (We won't mention how big it was to protect his pride.)

All Smiles!

I love Colton so much. He has been smiling so much lately and it's the most adorable thing in the world. I love being a mommy. He makes me so happy.

More Hawaii Friends In Town!

We were so fortunate to have met up with Anna, Zane, and baby Delmer, our friends from Hawaii! It's been so great to see so many friends coming into town lately! We got to meet Delmer for the first time and he is absolutely adorable! It's so funny how Colton is totally pointing to Delmer in the top picture! I miss Hawaii and all our friends there...I want to move back. Boo hoo.

Colton's First Kiss!

Katie & Brent and their baby Eliza (our friends from Hawaii) came to town and we met up with them for dinner. Colton had his first kiss from Eliza, she couldn't keep her hands off him! It was love at first sight. It was so good to see them!

Colton's First Photoshoot

Thank you Amy for once again providing us with pictures that we will cherish forever! Colton turned one MONTH old two days ago on August 2nd! I took him to the doctor's yesterday because he has a herniated belly button. He is in the 82nd percentile for his weight so I think we will have quite the chunkers on our hands! (I'm so excited for the growing rolls to plump up!) In 2 weeks we are flying to North Carolina for a lake trip! My sister-in-law Whitney's family has a couple lake houses and we'll be staying there. I'm a little nervous to fly with a 6 week old baby, I hope he doesn't get fussy. If anyone has traveling tips I'd love to hear them! On Thursday we met up with Katie and Brent and their baby girl Eliza. It was so fun to see them, we officially wanna move back to Hawaii. I miss my Hawaii friends! They are the most awesome girls and a couple have moved back to the mainland but there are some still there. We should all move back and have things the way they were! (I wish I could have gone to that surf video date night with you guys!) This past weekend we had Devin's cousin Brittany's wedding and on Sunday we had Kyla's baby blessing.

Colton Update

This weekend Colton got to meet his Auntie Jackie and Uncle Chris from Hawaii and their twins, Dexter and Darla! We were so excited to catch up with them! We met up at Justin and Natalie's (Devin's brother's house) and Colton also got to meet some of his cousins for the first time! Colton has been smiling alot more lately, it's absolutely adorable! He's so hilarious with all of his grunting and growling and the funny faces he makes! I'm loving being a mommy to this cute little guy, I never want him to grow up. It makes me sad to think he won't be this small forever. He never cries when I give him baths, which is a good sign for our future little surfer dude...he loves water! On Saturday my cousin Amy took some "newborn baby" pics for a birth announcement and they turned out super cute! She is so creative and so talented! I will post some in the near future. Colton still wants to meet all his other "Hawaii" friends and his Uncle Cameron whose on a mission!

2 Weeks Old!

First bath!

Great Grandma Beth

His cord finally fell off! Gotta love that belly!

Yesterday Colton turned 2 weeks old! His umbilical cord fell off yesterday as well, so today I gave him another bath and didn't have to stress about getting that thing wet. Colton seems to have put on some weight in the last couple weeks. I'm learning how to prioritize my time with a baby that has his own schedule. I eat and do everything when he lets me, it's definitely something new! I wonder how people survive when they already have kids and add a baby to the mix! He is so funny and every once in a while he smiles (yes, I know, it's apparently just gas) and it's the most adorable thing in the world. I've gotten to sleep pretty well because I make sure to sleep when he sleeps. He is so fun to cuddle and kiss all day long. He is a well behaved baby that cries for the basics. We love Colton so much and we are really enjoying being parents! I've recovered fairly well thus far. I'm still tender but I've been able to go on walks with the baby. Life is good!
