High Speed Heaven!

I'm in absolute love! I just downloaded all of these pictures in 2 minutes! Who knew? Certainly not these Joneses. We entered the 21st century and have ourselves some high speed internet. Who knew that all of the pictures on your blogs weren't really blurry? Heaven. Moving on. What's that behind Evan you say? That's right folks. A beluga whale. Evan and I took a quick trip to San Antone and made it over to Sea World with my fam. My brother's cute girlfriend Valerie works with the animals there and took us all behind the scenes. So here's me (Mrs. Salt water and everything in it scares me) petting the whale. Do you call it petting? Thanks a ton Valerie!



And now for some Colton mania. My mom's only called daily asking for some picture updates. Here's Colt riding the merry-go-round at the zoo with his Poppa.


Below, he's having some Saturday fun with his Dad. Bless our little backyard. The grass is trying so hard to grow. We also snagged a little tryke (no idea how to spell that) at a garage sale and Colton is in love. Madly in love. And I'll admit that I'm vain. There were a few other cute pictures of this but I didn't want the whole world wide web seeing my dirty house. :) On a non-Colton note, is anyone else able to contain their excitement for Harry Potter 7 making its debut on Saturday? My husband thinks I'm nuts. So what if I want a wand and want to be BFF with Harry and company at Hogwarts?

Was that CRAIG I just saw?! Ah, I miss the Carletons... (Do you think it's all right if I call your parents by their first names, now that we're "adults"? I mean, you know we've been secretly refering to them as Pam and Craig since we were twelve, outside of earshot of course, but come on, maybe now? What do you think Pam... um... I mean.. uh, he he.... Sis. Carleton?)

Oh, PS, Yay for High Speed!!!!

Cristy said...

Oh, and I expect more blogs too... but only if you want to, no pressure... I mean, you could do it everyday and then we would all know what you were eating and wearing and what you were doing.... cause seriously, we want to know! :)

Cristy said...

Oh, did you notice how I'm leaving lots of comments, so that the next time you click on your site, you will be like "Wow! That's a lot of comments!" I wish someone would do that for me.... :)

I've run out of things to say... how did the granola turn out? Love you!

Ryan said...

wow cristy is a GOOD friend! I am cracking up about the calling your parents by their first names- since i have been educated on that by you. sorry my kids call you rebecca or becca respectively. im not southern I have no proper manners (or english skills!)

pam carleton said...

your friends are a hoot!! cristy you make me laugh. you always did have a great sense of humor. ok, i am probably the only one here who says more, more, and then more on the colton pics. he is my mr. man. i love him to pieces and so glad you finally got high speed, and caller id. no more screening on the phone calls hoping i get security clearance. chanel, your welcome to the GREAT state of texas anyday. i heard how great the granola was. rebecca you have turned into such a little martha. i am so impressed by your culinary skills.

I am glad you are up to speed! these photos are great! Colton is such a cutie! He is getting so big! I am glad you are having a fun summer

HALLELUJAH! Now that you have high speed 'net, you won't ever go back! I LOVE your posts. They make me crack up just as much as you do in person with your animated faces and stories! I can't wait to see you in October!!!! Colton is soooo big! Sorry to say, but he's not a baby anymore. He's a big boy riding his cute little trike now. So stinkin' cute! PS...I didn't know you had a fear of the ocean and its creatures. Sorry, but I think it's comical! Sharks are an exception, though. :o)

So great to read your comments, as always, you totally make me laugh. Also tickled pink about the high-speed so we get more pix of Colton the Colossally Cute. Can't wait to see him at the wedding but bet he's going to be wigging out over all aunties he doesn't recognize. Yep, another reason I should move to Colorado. Miss you and can't wait to read more. You always make me smile when I read your stuff.
Love ya babe!

What cute pictures. I love them. Colton is darling. I'm glad you were able to go to TX this summer. This is the first time I haven't been there during the summer in three years. Instead, my brother and his family are in Colorado Springs for three months - so close to you. I love keeping up to date with you on your blog.

Julia said...

your baby is so dang cute. don't worry i don't think you're a stalker..i've seen your blog a few times from your comments on cristy's blog. :) glad to see things are going well for you! and i bet you were roommates with andrea if you lived in v3 in summer 2002.

Oh man, if I knew how (and if I had speakers on my computer) I would figure put a little button next to my comment, so when you pushed it, you could hear Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. HIGH SPEED ROCKS. Unfortunately, you know we're just going to exploit you and make you work even harder as secretary in YW? And yeah, can I expect a weekly blog too even though I don't own my own blog? And when are you coming back? I miss you. I feel so out of it, what is this granola everyone is talking about? And when do we get to discuss HARRY?? AND I WANT TO COME TO TEXAS TOO - I'll even listen to a bunch of country music to practice up.

I love evan's farmers tan in the pool picture. It's a toss up really between Colt's scrunched up nose and the farmers tan. MMM...I could eat that little Colton he's so dang cute.
