For those who are not familar with Thomas the tank engine toys they seem pretty durable, i just didnt expect this durable. With the yard being worked on constantly, certain toys end up outside that are strictly inside toys. James is an inside toy, he is one of the thomas engines, but this one is special! When rolled he mades a chugging noice, has a light that works, and a button for his horn. Coleton one day, snuck james out and through him in our little kiddie pool. James is not ment to go in water, it will ruin his horn but i was to late to save james he was already soaked by the time i fished him out. After that james kind of vanished? Thinking that he was hiding it a toy box somewhere i didnt think much of it. After the yard was done, we were walking around back and coleton found this....
James had been left outside and the bobcat that was used to move rock had run over him over and over again! He was not doing well but Coleton loves those trains so off i went to get it fixed. Its head fell off, smoke stack broke off, three wheel broke, two wheels bent, light busted off, and the metal frame was pretty scratched up. I figured it was a lost cause but here is how it is looking after some super glue!!
Can you believe it still works!! everything still works great! After all the repairs, it still looks like it got hit by a truck but Coleton still plays with it like nothing is wrong with james. If you ask me that is one durable toy!!
With Brandons sister, Candice, in town we headed up to pine valley
for a fun adventure with five kids. 
The weather was warm but wonderful! We camped by a little stream and the kids 
had a ton of fun playing together! We were a little worried to be camping in a tent with Hayden (who is five months)
but he did great! He slept in the tent in his playpen and slept through the night! 
Coleton did great too. He had so much fun being out! 
We were so glad that everything went well. No one was hurt, everyone had fun, and we cant wait to go camping again!!
painted, ate meals, pretty much everything, and it worked great he got the hang of it and loves that he is able to pick out a treat from his treasure chest! The first week has gone great he is doing better than i ever expected but we will be heading on vacations in july so we will see how that goes! Wish us luck!
Coleton was so excited to give them to Brandon. Its been so fun to see how Brandon is with the boys! He absolutely loves them and spending time with them. He is a great husband and dad and our boys are lucky to have him! Happy Fathers Day!
At least he knows how to keep my carpets from getting wet but i am definately getting rid of that tupperware! After reading up on how to potty train a little boy (which i have no idea) i decided to get the supplies needed to get started.
We bought a potty chair online which he thinks he got so that he could sit and watch TV like Hayden does. He absolutely loves it!
So the plan now is to see if i can figure out how to do it. I know it will be a learning curve for both of us but i am not in much of a hurry so we can take our time! Wish us luck!
He has BIG blue eyes, that is normally the first thing everyone notices!
He is starting to show his cute little personality which is he is really smilie and happy!
From the day he was born we have tried to get him to take a pacifier instead of sucking on his hands but he definately loves his hands!
He will almost always have both hads at one time shoved in his mouth which means his hands are always slimy which is really gross for us! 
We just love this little guy. He is happy, healthy, and just so adorable!
