Family Vacation to San Antonio

Jason and I celebrated our 5th anniversary on March 27th. For the past 2 or 3 years we had discussed taking a cruise. We thought it wouldn't be very romantic or fun to cruise with an infant; therefore, we decided since we had to take Kinzie we would take Colton, too. So we went to San Antonio and visited SeaWorld, The Alamo, The Tower of the Americas, The River Walk and the Ft. Worth Zoo (on our way home). We had a lot of fun and would love to go again - Colton had so much fun doing everything....Kinzie slept! Here are a few photos highlighting our vacation. (A note on the picture of Colton making a wish - after he threw in the coin we asked what his wish was and he said "God to forgive me". We both had tears in our eyes as we realized he is listening as we say our prayers. What a sweet heart he has.)

A lot of "Firsts"

I'm behind on updates so here are some "1sts" for the month of March.

1st Trip to the Dentist

Colton had his first dental check-up in March. He did great! He opened wide and let them count, brush, floss and fluoride his teeth. He thought it was neat how they turned his tongue and teeth pink to see how well we're brushing. No cavities - Yeah! But they said we might prepare for braces in the future. Sorry, Colton, Mommy and Daddy had them, too! (No I did not clean his teeth this time. I wasn't certain what he would think and I wanted to be the one holding his hand not holding him down if needed!)

1st Bowling Trip

Jason's Grandma and Aunt Kay came into town for a visit and we all went bowling together. It was Colton's first attempt at bowling. He had a lot of fun rolling the ball even though it went in the gutter a lot of the time. There were several times I didn't think the ball would get to the pins it was rolling so slowly but somehow it always did! Kinzie did not bowl this trip - she enjoyed being held and slept the rest of the time.

Let's Go Fly a Kite

Colton received this really cool "Lightning McQueen" kite for his birthday. We finally had a day where the Oklahoma winds weren't too strong and we could take it out. He had fun running with it and only got it stuck in a tree once. He also had fun taking pictures of me flying the kite a few of which actually turned out!
