Unfortunately for Colton I wasn't keeping up with my blog very much when he came into the family.  He has noticed this and requested more stories about him.  I think he deserves something dedicated to him!  Since he just turned 8 last week, here are 8 things about him.

1- Colton LOVES his Grandpa Richardson!  He loves going to Kearny to spray weeds, eat root beet floats, take a ride to Aravaipa, watch youtube videos, and all the fun things Grandpa does.  Colton things Grandpa is the bravest person, which really, he is.  He admires him and looks up to him in every way.  

Last year when we having home church, Grandpa gave an object lesson using this gun.  Colton felt so cool when Grandpa let him hold it!

Grandpa eats a root beer float every night.  It's one of Colton's favorite things to do with him when we visit.

Grandpa is really good at making up jobs that make you feel useful and important.  Do you see a single weed that needs to be sprayed?  But, Colton was on top of the world when Grandpa gave him this job.  He also told him how badly he needed a scrap piece of wood painted.  Colton felt so big with a can of spray paint!

When we got home we had to make a trip to Ace so Colton could get the exact same weed killer Grandpa uses.

2- Colton loves a project!  He loves to feel busy and productive.  He needed a stool for his new bathroom so we got on YouTube, found an easy tutorial, found some scrap wood, pulled out the saw and tools, and got to work!  He did such a good job and stuck with it til the end!

3- Colton's best friend is Cannon. When the Hales were still living here the two of the could not spend enough time together.  They loved dressing up in costumes, playing Lego's, going on adventures in the backyard and everything else little boys love doing together.

4- Another one of Colton's best friends is Lucy.  They are two peas in a pod!  They still share a room, even though I've given them the chance to seperate.  They love to play together and have a good time.

6- Last week a friend asked if Colton likes Legos.  Does Colton like Legos?  Is the Pope Catholic?  We own an embarrassing amount of Legos.   

7-  This is silly and random, but this makes me laugh.  Colton doesn't mind taking the trash out, he is generally happy to do it.  My favotire thing about it though is that he is happy to wear any ole shoes to do it, even mine.

8-  Last of all, Colton has really wanted a suit.  He knew exactly what he wanted it to look like and was persistent that he have it before his baptism.  It was worth every cent!  Look at how handsome this boy is!!
