Cankles!

This weekend our friends had their annual "skeet and eat" where we all get together and have a skeet shoot and just hang out all evening.  I was dreading going for like a week just because I knew it was going to be SO hot and I was going to be around a lot of annoying drunk people!  But it really wasn't bad, it was hot don't get me wrong, but I really had a good time.  I was standing around quite a bit, but not too much, and about 7-8 o'clock I could feel my ankles start to get stiff and swell!  This is the first time that they have done that (that I've really noticed) and I couldn't stop looking at them because they looked so funny and I was kind of embarressed, but I guess that's part of the package :)  I started thinking about it and I couldn't figure out why they got that bad that evening because I even went walking that morning, but then I realized I was off the day before and I cleaned ALL day and didn't stop to sit down until about 4, so I guess that could have had something to do with it.  So when we got home that night I just had to take a picture of my first set of cankles!

 Luckily Jenn had asked me the day before if I wanted to watch Cutter after the skeet shoot.  It was perfect because when I was completely pooped I had the good excuse of having him and needing to go home to put him to bed, and it also gave Colton a good reason to come home at a decent hour because he had to usher at church the next morning.  I told her to go ahead and let him spend the night and we would take him to church with us and that way her and Taylor could have a fun, yet peaceful night to themselves :)  So about 10 o' clock we headed home and we all figured Cutter would pass out in his carseat about 5 seconds down the road...nope!  It was so funny because he was kind of just talking to himself all the way home and Colton kept looking back at him and was like "how is he not sleeping!?"  So when we got home I told him to watch him for a little bit while I got in the shower and hopefully he'll wind down a little bit.  When I got out he was even more wound up and ready to play!  We had a good time with him, he kept getting behind the curtain of our front door and just stand there and look at us, even though we could see him and his face clear as day, and we would be like "where's Cutter?" and then he would pull the curtain back and laugh so hard lol!  Then he kept wanting to pet Rocky, his pet is a little rougher than we pet him so Colton was always standing right there when he was next to him and made sure that nothing happened.  We don't think that Rocky would do anything but honestly we really don't know because he's never been around such a little person like that and we definitely weren't going to risk it with someone else's child.  But Rocky did really good!  When I finally took Cutter to bed Colton said that Rocky whined as soon as he left the room :(  Well of course the next morning Colton had a touch of a stomach bug and as soon as I got Cutter ready for church he started acting sleepy, so I figured if Colton was staying home anyway I might as well put Cutter down for a nap and just have him watch him.  I think Colton was pretty nervous when I left, even though he didn't say it.  He told me when I got home that he went back and checked on him like 3 times to make sure he was breathing!!!  I was very proud of him though for watching him all by himself!
