The Summer is over!

So...We are back! It was a long summer! For the month of August, Colby and I were in Bakersfield with the Whitezell's, while Troy did extended sales in Boston. We missed him a ton! While he was gone, Colby got two teeth, decided he absolutely LOVES baby food, and figured out how to roll over onto his tummy!! As you can see...Colby didn't mind hangin' out with the guys while he was there. He really got attatched to Papa! Finally one of the grandkids prefers him over Grandma! Colby was sooo excited to have his Daddy back!

They played...

They swam...
and explored together!
Uncle Tyler came home from Russia!
We came back to Utah and Colby got re-introduced to the Pyne's...

We went Camping...
and cuddled in our sleeping bag...

We enjoyed the outdoors!

We looked at the pretty trees and fire!

We are glad to be back to the normal life...until next summer!

Colby's new Toy!!

We got Colby a new toy! It took him a little bit to figure it out, but he's decided that he LOVES it now!!

When I take pictures, I say "Boo!" to get the Colbster to smile...Well I need to think of something else to say now, cuz this is what I get!! :) (cute, but not quite the smile I was looking for)

He's even managed to make a friend to play with while in his toy!...His reflection!!

He plays so hard, bless his little heart. He fell asleep in his toy the other day!

How cute is that?!?

How does Colby sleep??

Like this!!!

I always have to go check on him a little after he falls asleep because he lays his puppy out across his face (I think to block out the light), after I move it off, this is what I find (pretty much every time)! :)

As Promised :)

Here is Colby doing his tummy time, obviously not wanting his picture taken :)

Here we are at my mom and dad's house, if you look closely at Colby he is smiling behind his binki!

We have been practicing sitting up lately, he's getting better :)

Drool anyone??

And he can hold his own bottle now. He thinks he is so big!

Too many pictures!!

So I've decided that since I have so many pictures ( they are all pretty much of Colby, cause let's just face it, that's all anyone really wants to see anyway!!), I will just post a few every couple of days! That way you folks get a little extra treat when you blog surf across ours!! :)

I love this picture of him doing his tummy time.

Just out one morning watching dad play some beach volleyball.

Here he is with his cousins Beckham and Owen. And, oh cute, he is holding Owen's hand! Wait...no, actually he's trying to put it in his mouth! Mmmm! Tasty!

Here he is talking to Uncle Nick. He loves playing with Nick when we go to Grandma and Grandpa Whitezell's house.

Just doin a little tummy time, you see him leaning to the one side...well that's because he has learned to do this...

So much for tummy time now!! I can't keep him on his tummy for the life of me!!

And for all of you Talledaga Nights fans, here Colby is doing his best impression of Ricky Bobby doing the interview after winning his first race!!

"I don't know what to do with my hands"

...Oh NO she Caught me!!!

(the conversation we would have had if Colby could talk)

Me: Colby are you taking your nap like a good boy?

Colby: Uh...Sure mom!

This is what I found when I went to check on him during one of his naps yesterday.

Updates!!

Our week with the Pyne's

Troy's parents came out t0 visit us a couple weeks ago. We had a lot of fun, until everyone got the flu :( I felt bad, Colby wasn't his normal cheerful self for Grandma and Grandpa (he was still happy, just not as much as normal, but then would you be if you had to change your clothes everytime you had your diaper changed and your bum was all rashy and red?...poor little guy) That's where it all started...with the Colbster, then I got it, then Roger, and on the last day Chris was feeling pretty sick and so was Troy. Sorry guys!
We were still able to do a few things though, I took them up to Santa Barbara on Friday, they got to eat some fresh fish and see some of the sites there. Saturday they had to show themselves around cause that's the day I was sick with Colby.
Sunday we went down to the Long Beach Aquarium. It was a lot of fun :) I love aquariums. (I didn't want to actually touch anything since I was always retrieving Colby's binki and toys...germs!)
Colby loved the fish. You wouldn't think a little guy would even be interested, but he was :) That is, between the times he was finding what else he could reach to put in his mouth. It's his new "trick"

check out his video!

We ate lunch at Bubba Gump's Shrimp Co. . It was way good! I couldn't finish mine, maybe shrimp was a little too aggressive on my first day feeling better.

That's ok, Troy was nice enough to finish it for me!

Finally, a new picture of the three of us :)

MAGIC MOUNTAIN

Troy and I got to go to Magic Mountain this last Sunday with some of our friends that are out here with us. I drove out to Bakersfield Saturday so that my parents could watch Colby. He was finally getting over his flu bug, so they agreed to watch him. ( he had it for a total of ten days!!) We had a lot of fun! We went on as many rides as we could, until we were too tired to walk another minute!

Troy won this awesome bear at some shooting contest thing they had there. It was our souvenir for Colby :) What a lucky boy!!

...So you probably noticed I didn't have any pictures of the 4th. Well that's because I don't. I was too busy changing blow outs to get any pictures. We had fun though. I went to a breakfast with my friends Trudi and Kelli at Trudi's Aunt's ward. Then we had a bbq that evening with the office. Unfortunately we didn't get to watch any fireworks...Colby was on his 4th outfit of the day and we decided it would be better if we just stayed home and hung out. There's always next year!!
