April 24, 2011. A more casual Easter attire than usual, but one of my favorites. All from Children's place and I had them before Christmas time. That's always a nice thing to check off the to do list. April 23, 2011. Coloring easter eggs with the Wersland's. April 22, 2011. We were at my parents house for Dave's birthday because he was taking a dental implant course in Park City. So we got to take advantage of grandma's babysitting and head out for a date night, after he opened presents of course. When D...

the coltons: February 2013

Wednesday, February 27. Kate told me one day she wanted to cut her hair off. just out of the blue. i made her sit on it for the whole day and then that night, took her into the bathroom to get the scissors and ponytails and at that moment, she changed her mind. no harm, no foul. i was glad she was making her own choices about it. A few months later, she did the same thing. she spent all morning talking about how she wanted to cut her hair. we went through the same routine - "are you sure? Such a beauty :).

the coltons: March 2013

Saturday, March 30. The girls really look forward to coloring eggs all spring, this time miles is checking it out :). We tried a few different things, starting with an online recipe i used last year for food color dye. it works well, gives really pretty colors and hues. the whole white crayon thing, however, does not work out so well. we'll try something else next year! Scribbled by the coltons. Tuesday, March 26. This kid is an eater! So i figured we'd try solids, even though it feels a little early.

Tuesday, August 7. Weston left his g10 lying around and one afternoon, kate apparently picked it up and took some shots. The best part of this one is that weston was traveling the day she took these, i always figure she missed her daddy ;). Paying homage to sleeping beauty and all things disney princess. Scribbled by the coltons. Monday, August 6. Our first stop was, of course, in vegas for some shopping. How is she so cute? Of course we spent a lot of days on the beach, but managed to do some other thin...

Monday, July 9. The girls got invited to a birthday party and there was this awesome bouncy water slide. they had never done anything like this, so i was excited to see how brave they might each be. Kate wasn't so sure at first. And down she goes! Scribbled by the coltons. Friday, July 6. Loading up her bag! In early m...

Monday, January 21. What is so magical about sunday afternoons that lend themselves so perfectly for naps? I don't know, but we take full advantage over here. Kate decided it was a good time to wake up miles and daddy. Scribbled by the coltons. Friday, January 11. With christmas over and the snow sticking around like it does, i was in a big mood for organization and projects. i opened up my pinboards. And took a look-see at what i had been wanting to do. Enter: board and batten. More of a during.

Saturday, April 27. Kitchen reno: day 12. Between days 10 &12, i primed, sanded, and painted 2 coats onto the bottom cabinet framework. i'm still tired. But day 12 was exciting! Kent attached all but one of our countertop pieces! I had another little burst of enthusiasm just seeing this. And here's where we can all say it together "dun, dun, dunnnnn." here comes the really long, tedious, "part where we cry and have a little breakdown" part. painting the doors. Better quit whining and get busy! This girl ...

Monday, May 13. Kitchen reno: days 13 until forever. And ever and ever and ever. I painted those doors for days! Then i had to fill all four edges with putty, sand cured putty, and paint finished edges. shoot me. I had designated 2 doors next to the sink to be framed over ribbed glass. when kent sent me with the doors to get the glass cut, he had sent me with the wrong doors. doors that were only wrong by about 1/4". we didn't find this out until they were ready to be picked up. big boo. I wanted to cry.

Wednesday, September 12. Late one afternoon when the girls were quiet, i walked into the living room to see kate holding scissors and a chunk of her sisters' hair. i think had i walked in seconds before, beth would still have her hair intact. Kate played barber on baby sister. She knows she's in for it. Poor beth. good thing hair grows, and fast when you have a little head! Scribbled by the coltons. Wednesday, September 5. Kate's first day of preschool. How did this happen already? Her very own locker.
