I was taking pictures of Parker, and Colby was just begging to be in them with him. He loves holding his little brother. Which is pretty awesome, because Parker loves to be with Colby!

Baseball Star

We signed Colby up for t-ball, he is so excited to play! When we were at family dinner, Uncle Seth took Colby and Brooks out to practice t-ball. Seth is going to be such a great coach, I can't wait until the season starts!

After a few practice swings, he hits it on his own. (Yes he's a lefty. Imagine trying to find a lefty glove in t-ball size. Not easy and not cheap!)
Look at that grin!

Brooks after a big swing.

Its going to be a great season!

Brothers

Could they be any cooler?

Video Games with Mattix

Colby's friend Mattix came over a week ago and played video games with Colbs. I used to be strongly against video games for my kids, but I like how the wii is active and social. They took turns playing, it was so cute! My little boy is growing up!

Prayers

Before prayer time last night, we reminded Colby to bless Baby Parker. During the prayer he did, and mom, and dad, and the kitties, and Grandma Mitchell's house, and Grandma and Papa Smith, and... Ho Ho Santa. Dad and I were trying not to giggle. I am guessing he's just trying to get a headstart on Christmas presents this year.

Bedtime Stories

This is Dad reading bedtime stories. Colby doesn't want to go to sleep, can ya tell? He has way too much energy right now!

Adore

Colby, five things I just ADORE about you

1. Your sweet, kind, and helpful nature. You are never mean. You are always willing to help your parents. You share toys. And you are so generous with your hugs.

2. When I tell you "I love you" you ALWAYS say "I love you more!" And that this always leads to a discussion on cuteness. "You're cute!" "No, you're cute!" "Well, you're so cute!" "You're TOO cute!"

3. You are turning into such a rough and tumble boy lately. You're always flying just like Buzz Lightyear.

4. You are so determined to learn. Today you asked me how to spell Skeleton, and then kept reciting it all day after I wrote it down for you.

5. You are the best big brother. I couldn't get an alone picture of you, because you insisted that Baby Parker be in the picture too. You are so adorable with him, you work all the time to calm him down. He loves you, and so do I.
