Happy 1st Birthday Colton

This was one long and miserable day for Joe, Colton, and I... The Friday Night before Colton's Party we all got 2 hours of sleep! Colton was screaming non stop all night. Nothing would make him happy. Joe took him on 2 car rides at 3a.m, we tried to have him watch cartoons, sleep with us, and even go outside and play. Nothing worked and we had no idea what was wrong with him. He had NO symptoms. We were getting ready to take him to the ER but I called my grandma (she's a nurse) to tell her and she told me she would be right over just to wait a minute. So her and my 2 aunts came over about 5:00a.m. and by the time they got here Colton was asleep. He slept for a couple hours until we had to get up and start getting ready for the party. When he woke up he had a fever so I just gave him some tylenol. Party went on and at the beginning he was ok but you could still tell he didn't feel good. By the time we got to the cake he didn't want to have anything to do with it. Took him to an after hours clinic right after the party and found out he had a really bad ear infection. What a fun way to spend your birthday!

Cooling Colton off in the car. It was over 100 degrees outside.
Joe grilling the hotdogs.
Me on 2 hours of sleep the night before

Wasn't feeling well
These were taken at home on Colton's actual birthday when he was feeling better.
Going to lick the cake.
