Snow in April and Scarlett's 4 month check up!!

We woke up this morning to find about 2 inches of snow on the ground and the mountains covered in snow with a beautiful sunrise :) The snow was unexpected, melted quickly but made a hard commute into work for Andy.

Scarlett's check up was in the afternoon, by then all the snow had melted from the lawn and roads, so it wasn't a dreadful drive to the Dr.'s office. Dr. Mumford said that she was doing great physically and developmentally.

Weight 12.45 lbs - 13th percential
Height 26 inches - 60th percential

So she's getting bigger but still lower than average in weight, which makes for a tall but tiny 4 month old girl. She liked the doctor until he pulled on her arms and then she was a little nervous. Then she got her shots and it just breaks your heart to have them cry like that. Poor thing had a rough night after that. Her left leg hurt pretty bad and she would start crying even with the smallest touch.

Easter Day 2009

Easter Egg hunt - new toys and CANDY!!!

Real Salt Lake Soccer Game!!

Real Soccer game with people from work - we had a off site with a few people from work and decided to go to the Real soccer game.. it was really fun actually and interesting to watch how talented the players were kicking a ball around. I only wish that Andy could've come with me :(

Easter Real-Night with the Colton's

Easter 2009 - Colton Family Real Night

We had a lot of fun looking for easter eggs outside (even though it was raining) and hung out with family. Boston really loves his cousins and never gets tired of hanging out with Creed, Tate, Max, and Mason. We had a hot dog roast outside in a fire pit and made some smo'res. It was really fun and relaxing! The best part of the night was that my mom got up with Scarlett and Boston so that Andy and I could get some much need catch-up sleep :)

Scarlett is 4 months old today!!

Happy 4 month birthday little girl! I can't believe that you're already 4 months old.. It seems like yesterday that we were hanging out in the hospital, just you and I, waiting for dadda and Big brother Boston to come visit us :)

She is rolling onto her sides, but not to belly's yet and has grown quite the personality. She has found her voice and will scream and giggle and scream when she's mad too.. she is really a fun baby, needy but fun and she has been sleeping almost all the way through the night. She will go to bed at 9 and not wake up until 6:30 in the morning. She loves tubbies and her changing table and has recently found her little toy radio rather interesting. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Going to the dentist for the first time!

Boston went to the dentist for the first time today.. he was a little nervous to go but once he was there he thought it was pretty cool! They counted his teeth, ten on top and ten on bottom and then they cleaned his teeth and he got to hold the sucker and called it his tiny vaccuum. He thought that it was pretty silly when they would spray water in his mouth and then laughed when the sucker made his lips jiggle and make funny noises. He was super brave and the dentist (Dr. Miller) was extremely gentle and sweet with him. He's a great guy (I've had him as my dentist since I was little). His teeth are great and look 'perfect', according to Dr. Miller. All in all it was a big day for our big boy :)

Talking Scarlett - pretty cute

Scarlett has become the little coo'er - she is talking more and more everyday and she has her own little sounds, which are different from Boston's when he was a baby, but there are some similarities there too.

St Patricks Day Fun :)

We had a really fun St Paddy's day - Boston and Scarlett set up traps for the leprechaun's. My mom sent us some green fruitloops to set out as baid as well as some green strawberry baskets to use as the traps. I asked Boston if he wanted the traps set up in his bedroom and he said 'No, because they will wake me up'. So we set the traps (3 total) up out in the loft area of our house. We made a trail with the fruitloops to lure the leprechans in and then inside the trap Boston put a green car or truck in there, because he thought that they would like to take a drive in one of them.

- Andy put Boston to bed and I heard him ask him if the leprechauns were the size of boogars hahah and a bunch of other questions and comments about trapping them and getting gold. So after he went to sleep - I cut up a bunch of green foot prints out of paper and picked up the fruitloops and put the green foot prints in their place - then drove the green car and truck over by Boston's door so that he would see them first thing in the morning when he got up. In the traps I left big piles of pennies.

He woke up and thought it was the coolest thing.. he was still finding green leprechaun foot prints by the afternoon and he kept commenting on how they drove his cars around and how funny he thought that was. Then he put all the pennies into a pile on the coffee table like it was the coolest thing ever.

It was really fun!! Scarlett thought that it was pretty silly to see her little brother run around picking up green foot prints and pennies all the while laughing and giggling like a crazy man haha :)

It was a really great st paddy's day - I had to work that day and I did in fact remember to wear green :)

Happy Birthday Grandma Billi!! I hope that you have a great birthday even though you're sick and not feeling that great :) - you're the best Great Grandma & Grandma!!

Happy 3 Month birthday Scarlett!!

Scarlett turned 3 months old on March 3rd!! She is such a big girl now! haha - she is so cute, talking, laughing, and sleeping better and better at night :)

Her favorite thing right now is sleeping in her swing and on dadda, watching Boston be crazy, and to do some inch worms on the floor. She is so precious and cute and is feeling so much better now that we have her food situation all figured out. She seems to like the babysitter and the babysitter really loves her and says that she is such an easy baby - so that's a good thing :)

HAPPY 3 MONTH BIRTHDAY SCARLETT!!!
