Great American BBQ-fest
Finally, here are a few new pics of the boys. A few weeks ago, we met up with Bruce, Andrea and the girls and went to the Great American BBQ-fest in Blue Springs, Kansas. (And we were really excited to see them again.) I had seen this on the food network before and was way excited to attend. The smell was so incredible, I just loved the smell. I was a little bummed because there were only a few vendors that actually sold any food. I wanted to try some of the contestants but they don't do that. But we did end up getting some food because you can't go the the Great American BBQ-fest without tasting some food. We got a pulled brisket sandwich that was just okay, nothing great. None the less, it was a fun day. It was a hot day. Bruce's poor family must have been waiting for us forever. Our GPS was not working and we were just going on instinct. We drove the wrong way twice and we went several miles before turning around each time. So, they were stuck in the hot sun. And it gave them plenty of time to buy tickets for the carnival before we even got there. They were generous enough to buy the boys some tickets so they could have some fun. They are sneaky like that. And the boys loved the rides! Here are a few of the pics that we got of them having fun. You will see in the pics that Nate and Josh's faces are very flush and rosy red!

Busy!
Just wanted to let everyone know that I've been a little busy lately. My blog has been getting neglected lately. It's not that I don't want to blog, I just seriously haven't had much time to get to it. And I've been downloading all my pictures to Shutterfly so that I can get them developed. So, my camera has been out of service so to say for the last week. But, we are alive and well just really busy. And really looking forward to all the family coming and visiting us soon. So, hopefully we can get around to the blog soon. Hope everyone else is happy and well!

Colton's Birthday Party
Ok, bare with me here. This is Colton's birthday pictures. There are a lot but I couldn't decide what one's to put on here so I pretty much did them all. I love this kid! He is just so stinkin cute! I think he had a great birthday, not that he even realized it was his birthday. We had carpet laid that day and they were here all day, I didn't plan it that way. They were suppose to come the day before but the carpet wasn't in so poor boy had to put up with the loud installers from 9-4:30. And since they were here all day, he told us that he just wanted to go to Olive Garden so we didn't have to make him dinner. So, we felt like that was a reasonable request to honor. So, we opened up his presents then headed out to dinner. Once we got home, we let the food digest for a little bit then we had cake and ice cream. He loved the cake, I made him his own cake. It's suppose to be a surf board but it didn't come out as well as I would have liked but it still tasted good. And then he got a hat for his big cake. You'll see in the pics that he started getting tired and wanted out of there, he would rub his eyes and then icing would get in his eyes then he'd get madder and do it some more so the poor boy had it all in his eyes but I still managed to take pics. I still can't believe my baby is one! Where did the time go?! Well, here are ALL the pics of this par-TAY! I'll just let the pictures tell the story. There really are too many to put a caption under. Enjoy, this is especially for grandma and grandpa.

Colton is 1
May 22, 2008
I can hardly believe it's been one year since I had my baby Colton! It was such a whirlwind of a day. I didn't expect to have him that day, I was just going in for an ultrasound but he wasn't moving so we went to Labor and Delivery to be watch but I was adamant that I wanted him out now. So, at about 5-5:30pm they began to induce me. I wasn't even able to get a prego pic because the Dr. broke my water before Danny was back with a camera and my suitcase. I expected to be in labor for a while but he came quicker than expected. By 11:30pm he had joined our family. Colton Ryan Fritz came in at a whopping 9lbs 10 oz and 22inches long. He won the family record for biggest baby. That made a proud Daddy even prouder that his son holds the chubby baby record. He surprised his mommy too coming in that big, I was expecting big but not that big at 2 1/2 weeks early. He maintained quite a fast growth rate for the first half of his life, 12lbs @ 1 month; 19lbs 8oz @ 4 months; and 21@ 6 months but finally he has slowed down to about 22-23lbs currently. With him walking, we have nicknamed him "little godzilla" but we love our big guy. He has been an absolute joy to have in our family. I really feel like he helps bring our family together. Every morning Colton ends up in my bed and when both his big brothers get up they head straight to my bed and race to be the first one to lay by Colton. You would think this would have ended long ago but a year later and they are still going strong. He is so sweet and cuddly. I love to just hold him and squeeze him while he sleeps. He has been an awesome baby! I'm honestly sad that he's growing up so fast, sometimes I just want to freeze time and make him stop growing. I have just absolutely loved having him around. I think that since he's my 3rd baby I've really stopped worrying about the small things, the crying, the messes, the little fevers and running noses, just don't bother me as much as they did with the first 2 so I've really enjoyed his first year. But it's probably also because he is so dang sweet, I know I say that alot but that's the best I can think of to describe him. Colton looks up to his big brothers. No one can make him laugh like his big brothers. They try to treat him equally, which sometimes gets hairy because they forget he's still a baby. So, his big size really has been a saving grace since he has 2 bigger brothers. It doesn't take much to keep Colton happy, give him food, if you are eating in front of him you'd better be prepared to share with him. If you go outside, he has to go outside too. If you go downstairs- he has to go with you. If you cook dinner- he has to cook with you. If you do your hair- he has to play in the bathroom with you. Ok, you get the point, he just likes to be with you. And I don't mind having a little tag-along because he's been a great blessing in my life and a wonderful addition to our family. Our family would not be complete without this little chunk. We are so lucky to have him in our life. Here are a couple pics of my "baby" over the last year. I have one for every month for the last 12 months of his life. The last 4 pics are some of him currently that I thought were cute and couldn't decide what "1" to post so I did 4 that I liked.
