A Whole New World- Budlove Style: Family Fun

We had a really nice 4-day weekend together. Friday we took Colton to Water Country for a little bit in the morning then relaxed at home the rest of the day. While Colton looked adorable in his bathing suit and rash gard he was extremely unimpressed with the water! I think it was a little too cold for his liking. We are going to keep on trying though and hopefully he will love the water as much as we do. Saturday was spend doing things around the house and running some errands. We ended the night at Buffalo Wild Wings where 10% of the proceeds went to a family to help with their child's medical bills. I went to college with this girl. Her son was born at 26 weeks with 2 brain bleeds. He is 20 months old and has already been through 7 surgeries and when he was 1 year old, he was diagnoised with Cerebal Palsy. This was just a reminder to us of how blessed we are to have a perfectly healthy baby! Colton was admired greatly on Sunday at church then we headed down to Virginia Beach to their annual Strawberry Festival. While it was hot, we had fun walking around and of course eating some yummy food! Colton slept most of the time and was a trooper with the heat. Monday was relaxing as Brian and I went on our first date night since Colton was born. We had a great time at dinner, ran some errands and then went for a nice walk. It was weird not having to get a baby in and out of the car or of course taking turns eating because inevitably, he likes to wake up to eat just as the food is being delivered.

Colton has really been developing his personality these past few weeks. He loves to smile and talk, but of course won't flash one for the camera very often! I decided not to go back to work for the last 2 weeks of the school year, so I will get to stay home until the end of August! Who knows, maybe we will win the lottery and I can stay home permanetly.... a girl can dream, can't she?

Here are some pictures taken these past 2 months:
