Primary Talk

Connor gave a talk today in Primary. Ian was his assistant (holding up the pictures). Connor has a great talent for speaking in public. He loves the attention (can't imagine where he gets that from). Ian gets a little shy in front of a crowd (we REALLY don't know where that comes from). Connor's talk was on the prophet, Abinadi. Everyone was so impressed he could read his own talk. He did such a good job!

A Fun Night at the Movies

The boys have been counting down the days for the movie, "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" to come out. So of course we had to see it opening night. It was our first full-length movie in 3D. It was a lot of fun! The movie celebrates smartness -- a message I really liked. And it also offers insight into the importance of father/son relationships. It was a fun family night out and a great start to a very busy weekend.

Game On!

Connor starts his first season of soccer tonight. He is so excited to play. It's a beautiful evening and should be a great start to kindergarten soccer. Here he is in his new uniform -- we think he looks pretty official.

Heading for Brazil


Our cousin, Daniel, gave his missionary talk today in West Jordan. He is going to Manhaus, Brazil. He hasn't received his VISA yet, so he may be heading this week to the MTC in Provo intead of the MTC in San Paulo. We took this picture so we can see how much the boys have grown by the time he gets home. We are very proud of Daniel and excited he has made the choice to serve a mission.

Soccer Season

Connor started soccer today. (It takes their minds off of Charles). Connor is on a kindergarten team. Sam, who is in his class at school, is also on his team. He's very excited about his royal blue uniform and the fact that's he No. 10. Their first game is Wednesday. Ian told us he didn't want to play soccer until he was 6. He asked today if he could take an art class. This is such a fun time in our lives!

Meet Charles, the Goldfish

After we got home from Midway, we went to get the boys their first pet -- a goldfish they have named Charles. It is their reward for being such good sleepers the past few weeks. Here's a picture of the newest member of the Colton household. Let the fun (and drama) begin.
