Thankful Thought: Number Four

So very thankful that Kolton got over his shyness and took part in the Easter Egg Hunt this weekend...a bit overwhelming to him at first. Lots and lots of people, loud music, some waiting and then the collecting began. Thankful he went out there "all by himself." Thankful he found his way back to Daddy and Mommy on the sidelines. Thankful for small prizes, coupons and many smiles. Mostly thankful for all the excitement Kalian and I get to experience with our little boy. Thank you Chick-Fil-A!

Wordless Wednesday

Yesterday Kolton and I were treated to a day of fun at Six Flags by our friends Mary and Ryan.
We had so much fun...rides, sugary treats, water play, whale and dolphin shows.
Kolton rode his first roller coaster-The Cobra!
And then he rode another one with his friends.
We discovered he loves cotton candy in red AND blue:)
He came home with a new Batman cape...one of the highlights of his day.
So blessed to have such great friends.

Kolton turned five years old this week...still can't believe it.
