Colby Is 18 Months Old!

 Our little Colby is 18 months old today.  He is such a character.  He loves to do things to make us laugh.  His favorite thing is to walk around the house with a wet washcloth on his head.
Here Colby is all dressed up for church.  One minute after taking this picture, he took the tie off and broke it.  The tie never made it to church.



We bought a new dog carrier for Cuddles.  But someone else thought it made a good playhouse.  We had a hard time getting him out of it!  Every time we would open the door, he would pull it shut again.

For the First Time


 Every year that we have been married, Clay goes fishing with his dad the week of his birthday.  This year he didn't go fishing so for the first time in 11 years we were with him on his birthday!  We celebrated by having a little party for him.  The first party was cancelled because Savannah, Clay and Colby were sick.  We rescheduled and invited some of Clay's little friends. (And their parents!)






Here's a picture of my little Tigger, Dorothy, and Wicked Witch.  They got so much candy at the ward trunk or treat that they didn't even miss going real trick or treating!


And here's a picture of my latest sewing project.  I love it when I make something for the girls that they love so much they wear it as soon as it is clean!

What Time Is It??

See this watch?

Clay gave it to me for Christmas last year.  It looks much nicer than my old one.  It has diamonds around the face, a purple face (my favorite color!) and it also says the date.  I love this watch!

Too bad it is missing.

Last Wednesday (a whole week now) when I was helping the girls with homework, Colby pulled on it so I took it off me, and put it on his arm and he walked into the kitchen (we were at the kitchen table).  Later I went to get it off the floor but it wasn't there.  Not to worry!  I'll find it in the morning!

That was a week ago.  Every day since I have been pleading with Colby to find my watch.  We have looked up and down, inside and out, over and under and seriously all around.  We moved the fridge and stove.  Clay took off the air return vents in case Colby put it through there.  We looked under, in, and around the couches.  Clay even took apart my piano.  We have looked in every room in the house, in every drawer and cupboard.  I even looked inside the oven and dishwasher.  Clay thinks it was thrown away with the trash, but I ALWAYS shut the pantry door where the trash is because Colby loves to get into things.  When I open the door, I immediately shut it 'cuz that kid is fast!  I am very sure (but not entirely, of course) that it didn't go in the trash.

For the past few days I have been wearing my old watch, but this morning the wristband broke.  Woe is me!  I hate not knowing what time it is!!

So if you have any ideas of remote places that it could be, let me know even though I've probably already checked there.

(And I'm harboring a tiny hope that Clay will get me a new watch for Christmas that looks amazingly identical to the one I lost.  And this watch ain't going on no baby's arm!!!)
