For those of you that have had the privilege of meeting Buddy (purple is Colby's) we had a terrible tragedy on Thursday night. As Pat walked into the kitchen he held up Buddy's head and asked where the rest of Buddy was. I went in search of the rest of Buddy only to find Colby cuddling up with him. The good part is Colby didn't realize his head was gone. The next morning I was on a mission to find an alterations place to perform minor surgery. Thank goodness I found a lady that would take care of it in time for me to get it to the Montessori School prior to nap time.
The boys are doing well at Montessori school. Austin still cries in the morning but it doesn't seem to last long after I leave so they say. He is always very HAPPY to see us in the afternoon. Colby is quite the social butterfly. He hardly knows we leave and it always playing when we pick them up. Today when we picked them up they had a map of the world laying on the floor and the teacher was singing a song about the continents and Austin was told to point to North America and he did. Then of course Colby had to show us he knew where North America was too. I am so proud of them.
They are both singing their ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and most of Jesus Love me. We say our prayers every night and here are a few pictures I tried to snap. Colby is still my GREAT sleeper but Austin still tends to wake every night between 1:00 and 1:30. It's like clockwork.
We took the boys to the Children's Museum and the they had a great time exploring and playing in the water. They LOVE the water no matter where it is. They weren't too fond of the play horse but loved the old play cars and truck. The best toy by far was the helE-copter as Austin was say. "I love it". Who knows maybe he'll follow in his Mommy and Daddy's footsteps one day.
Our family had a very nice 4th of July though it was much different than the past years. We missed being at my Dad's in Arkansas with all the rest of the family. We had some friends over and just did some grilling, playing, visiting and fireworks. On July 3rd we watched the North Salt Lake fireworks with some friends and it was quite a show....almost as good as the one David did for us last year at Horseshoe. The boys stayed home with Natalie as it was past bedtime and they aren't very good when they are overtired and out in public.

I am still going with my Army Reserve unit on Aug 2-15th for our annual training. We have changed locations from Utah to Fort Carson,Colorado. It will be a very interesting two weeks with not only a brand new unit but also being away from the boys. I know Pat will do great but he'll have his hands full and he won't have Natalie and Sean to help entertain the boys either. I'm sure we'll all be fine but none of us are looking forward to it.
Colby is due to have surgery to have tube put in his ear on the 18th of August. We won't know what time until the day before because they schedule surgery time according to age of the kids. Hopefully with him only being 2 he'll be one of the first on the schedule. He is really talking a lot more these days and I think it will be even better once he has the tubes.
