Colton's Birthday

Colton is 11! He was excited this year because he has graduated from cub scouts into boy scouts, is getting ready for 6th grade - and just seems older! This year was his "family" party. We do a friend party every other year and then a family party. He chose "breakfast for dinner" and had a few gifts to open, and then we spent the evening playing them.

This year Colton has loved sports - Basketball, Baseball, rip sticks, soccer, skiing, ice skating and whatever else he can turn into a competition. He received his Arrow of light and religious knot, finished all 4 years of scouts and received the honors for each. Colton is a great kid and always willing to help - he rarely complains and is a great older brother (most of the time)! He does like to tease Alex and gets a jab in when he can. At home Colton loves to play Wii and Playstation and any card game he can get his hands on...like his dad, Colton will play Texas Hold'em whenever he can get a group together. He is very competitive and I have to tell him to let others win - otherwise no one will want to play with him!:) Happy Birthday Colt - 11 is going to be a great year!

Happy Birthday Colton! I remember going to the hospital the day Colton was born- he was such a cutie! I cannot believe that was 11 years ago!!!! Colton has always been such a nice sweet boy. Tell him that Uncle Eric, the kids, and I love him.
