Colgan Boys (Mid-March 2012)

A chin tuck expression like his big sis, Parie...
Just turned 4 Tommy...
The curls of the boy, Noah, at 19 months and proud big bro, so very fond of his babiest brother, Fletcher, who just shows such compassion and tenderness to Noah it melts me...
Because a Momma loves an opportunity for a booty shot...

Middle of March 2012

Sarah and I love to watch "Say Yes to the Dress" together. We're such girls! As much as we enjoy seeing the different style wedding dresses, we love the family dynamics even more!
Silly Noah face to go with his silly Noah-the-clown hair (he just got out of the bath in this pic!)
The kids are still SO sweet with Noah. They LOVE him! I'm so thankful his older siblings give him so much loving attention.
Looks like a couple of trouble makers in this pic!
We are all loving that Tommy asks for "smashed potatoes" for "din-wher". Of course, all the kids love mashed potatoes, but I doubt we'll call them that ever again. Tommy's name for them is just way cuter!

Sarah, Fletcher March 2012

Cutie pic of Sarah and her best friend, Monika, taken at church on March 4th.
Sarah got her wish on Thursday, March 1st when she was finally allowed to get bangs after months of asking for them. She was quite pleased with the results of her haircut...bangs, super thinned-out hair and many inches cut off at her request.

Fletchie scored the only goal for his team on Saturday (March 3). That was his second goal of the season; his first goal was scored the game before. Ten minutes post-game his face still looks like this...
Fletcher LOVES this in-action photo of him during a game.

Outside the Penny Arcade in Manitou Springs

Was so hoping for a cute shot on this green bench, but no such luck!
A very common Noah expression...

Tommy was excited by this ride with his favorite superhero...
Tommy still says his favorite color is green. He and Mommy share a favorite color, but certainly not favorite foods! Tommy still says hot dogs or pizza when asked what some of his favorite foods are...ugh! :(

Manitou Springs, March 3, 2012





Had fun just sitting on these...





Manitou Springs, March 3, 2012

The Penny Arcade has "quaint" machines :) to play for a dime or even a penny!
Mommy loved the 1950's looking games...
Tommy, in action, "versing" Fletcher. "Fletchie, I 'voyz' you?" Translation: Tommy asking if he can "verse" (play against) Fletcher.
Noah found plenty to do, too.
Fletcher, wearing what he calls his "Dallas Stars" jersey. Really just an old Upwards basketball team shirt from a few seasons ago.
Fletchie's "fray-vor-ite" (he still says favorite with the 'r' sound before the 'a'....which I love) game was probably the pin ball machine he played with Charlie.

Oldie Wed Game, Valentine's Day 2012



Brothers, off to church, March 4, 2012

Dog-dog is in tatters. Check out the strings!



LOVE Noah's "checking out my big brother" expression here...
Typical Noah "DON'T Touch me!" expression and accompanying screech...

Noah, eighteen months

Dunno why, but Noah reminds me of Herbie, the elf on Rudolph clay figures, that wants to be the dentist.
Love his little side curl, hair flip...
Chubby cheeks, pointy chin...
Yummy boy...

Parie's Mini-Me...

At eighteen months, Noah still has drool spots on his shirts!
Noah is definitely Parie's mini-me in terms of looks, but he is following in Sarah's footsteps with the "egg" on his forehead JUST LIKE his oldest sister had constantly at this age! Charlie even forebade me to let Sarah walk on the paved paths around our apartment complex in Dallas because she was forever tipping over and hitting forehead-first on the concrete. Poor girl never NOT had an egg on one side of her forehead or the other. If she was out of the stroller, Sarah had to stay in the grass which was a-okay with her!
Noah still doesn't talk. But, hey, if he is truly like his siblings, why would he? They didn't talk much before two either!
