Colton Goes Camping

C: I wish we could live at camping.

Me: Well, if we lived here, it would be home and then we'd have to camp back at the house.

C: I am going to create an indoor campsite.

Me: What's the point of that?

C: So we could camp any time, even if it rains.

C: We're having a good camping trip!  We went hiking, saw a caboose..

As all good camping trips should include.

C: I think Beckler River is the best camp spot.

Me: Why's that?

C: Because it's where I learned to snap! 

C: If I had my circle powers, I would just fly up and blast all the rain out of the sky.

Me: Did you bring your circle powers?

C: No, I forgot them.  Sorry.

Colton Is a Great Big Brother

RIP Great Grandpa John, 5/25/12.  He was the last of the
kids' great grandparents. 

C: Dad, you can just do anything you want to do.  That's okay with me!

C: Mom, I really wish you could come to Bridger's sleepover.
Me: I know, buddy.  But you had a fun time!

C: What are you doing next?
Dad: I'm going to take a nap.
C: As long as you don't disturb me when I'm building Legos!

C: I need to tell you something.
Me: Yeah?
C: Maybe we could just get Mario Brothers.
Me: We have an Xbox, so we'd have to get a Wii first.
C: We can just get that later, after Mario Brothers.

C: Did you know that there is a store that only sells desserts?  Maybe we could go there next time I be good.

C: Look what I put up (the mobile) for that baby!  He was crying, so I
put it up and he went back to sleep. 

Do Nothing Day

2am, Colton wakes up coughing ~
Me: Do you need a drink of water?
C: But not too much!

Me: Let's put Thomas (stuffed) behind your pillow.
C: But I'm not strong enough to lift heavy things!
I got this for ya!

Dad: He says his tummy is very full.
...

Me: Does your tummy have room to go to lunch, or are you too full?
C: It has plenty of room for chicken and fries!
Of course it does.  LOL

C: Can I give the babies my too-small-shoes?  Then they will have shoes to wear!

Colton Builds Rockets

C: And then you take the messy paper off... And then you put the cereals on... Then you check the directions.
