Mailey Jane’s 1st Bday!

Colt’s best friend / girlfriend Mailey Jane Hudson had her 1st birthday on Monday, June 9. The party was the previous Saturday (Colt’s 11 month bday) and we had so much fun celebrating her.

Trent & Paige hosted a fabulous party in the park beside their apartment and the afternoon was filled to the brim with great food and drinks, fun games, awesome friends and perfect weather.

Sharon, Ollie & Wink in SP!

For the last week of May, we were thrilled to have Sharon & Ollie visiting with us! It was a quick visit that flew by, but we packed in tons of fun, laughter and of course, snuggle time with Colt.

MONDAY: They arrived on May 26 and came over to the apartment to see Colt as soon as possible. He was so excited to see them but just to be sure they would win his favor, they brought a special toy, “Wink.”

Colt and Wink immediately became best friends.
