Fourteen years as a Mom

Happy Birthday to my big boy Colton--fourteen today! He got the opportunity to break us in as parents. This picture was just after Chris graduated from Cal Poly and we moved to beautiful Monterey CA and Colton is around 9 months old. I look at this and wonder where the rest of the family is--it's odd to have so few members! But this is how it all began and it was fun.

The other pictures are from Colton's "Superheroes phase" He loved them all--especially Power Rangers. Now he's a super great kid and a super big brother and we're excited for his next adventure into high school.

Yeah, I sewed these costumes--Colton is Hercules--I don't know how I had the time. I still try to get the kids to wear these to feel justified in sewing them. Caleb was this same clown last Halloween because he didn't get to choose--that's just the way it is!
