Some random pics off Colt's phone

Back in June I downloaded pics off of Colt's phone. I've downloaded them again a couple times but haven't ever put any of them on the blog. Some of these are from the end of last year. A lot of them are pics of our yard throughout the year.

November 2012 - What "really" happens in med school. 

Brock when we went out to eat at Grimaldi's December 2012. I think this was the first time that we got to meet their son, Ben. 

From when we went to Hawaii back in December 2012

The airport in Hawaii - much prettier than ours.

What it did a lot of our time in Hawaii...rain

There was a picture of the present he bought David for Christmas on his phone, but I didn't include it! It  wasn't very appropriate.

When we saw the whale from the boat

When Colt went scuba diving, he saw one of these. 

His gun safe that he got from his mom last Christmas

And his boots he got for Christmas

January 2013 - She goes from not being allowed on the bed at all to thinking she's mistreated if she's not

I think this is when he got backed into at the gym. Luckily, they were able to just buff it out. 

Hmm.. I wonder what happened here. 

And who didn't realize there was glass missing from the shower for a couple days!

February 2013 - Colt acts like Lucky is my dog but he loves him!

I assume these are supposed to be impressive from him playing Call of Duty. 

Since then he's actually sold his Xbox... of course he only sold it to replace it a couple months later with the Xbox One.

March 2013 - After he got new leather put in his truck 

The yard back in April

Something he drooled over and repeatdedly looked at online

More yard pics from April 

I think this was a new gun he bought in May.

He decided to take the running boards off his truck

Since then he's put my dad's old silver running boards on it and lifted it.

After walking the dogs one day in June - Alex yanked the leash out of Colt's hand.

Our killer birds and their babies that were living on the front porch

I'm pretty sure Colt was just taking this to make fun of me because of my online shopping sprees that I go on every once in a while!

His kicks and all his accessories. I'm pretty sure Colt and Josh have matching everything including matching jackets that were just ordered this past week!

August 2013 - Suit shopping without me and he did good!

September 2013 - His makeshift clothes rack when he was packing to go to Temple for the month

Little Lucky 

Like I said earlier... he sold everything and upgraded. 

One of his workouts while he was staying in Temple

These marks were from from backsquatting?!

He was getting scraggly looking and played with the trimmers. Luckily, his mom came and fixed it and gave him a haircut.

October 2013 - yard work

He likes to take pictures of his truck and the yard. 

Paintball wounds

I think this was the first paintball gun he bought and then resold

and I think this is the current one

Alex is definitely not supposed to be on the couch...

December 2013 - pre-interview

I posted some of his other pics in different blog posts but here is a pic from the rooftop of his latest interview in New Mexico. 

The last couple weeks

When we got back from South Carolina, I was off work for a few more days at the beginning of the week. We didn't do that much and it was great. Wednesday, I had to take Colt to the airport for his last interview until January. He went to Albuquerque, New Mexico this time. He had to be there for a dinner Wednesday night and his actual interview was on Thursday, the 12th. While he was in New Mexico, his cab driver took him by the hotel that was on Breaking Bad.

After his interview on Thursday while him and some other candidates were killing some time before flights, they drove by Jesse Pinkman's house. 

 I know he was relieved that this was his last interview for a little while. Gerald and Allison were in Forney that Friday night so we ended up going with them to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. On Saturday, Colt went to race go-carts with a group of his friends from high school. My parents also came into town on Saturday for my dad's work Christmas party. They were staying the night in Frisco and we were babysitting their dog, Pistol, so they stopped by on Saturday to drop him off.  Saturday night we had Christmas with Tooter and Linda at Red Lobster. It was just us, Nicci and Davallen this year. Unfortunately I didn't get any pics. Sunday morning, my parents were at our house to pick up Pistol before we were even up and finished showering. They spent a few hours at our house, and my mom and I ended up running to Rockwall for a little bit to run some errands (yes I used my credit card at Target and am at risk to the credit card breach... I've tried calling to cancel my card and it's constantly busy!) After the Cowboy game on Sunday, Colt and I watched the final couple episodes of the current season of Sons of Anarchy. I was crying, and I hadn't even been really watching the show! Colt started watching the series on NetFlix this month without me. While he was watching the last season or 2, I kinda started watching and keeping up as he had them on. The last episode was sad and twisted! It definitely didn't make me want to start watching the show from season 1 since I knew how it would end. Colt said it made him not even want to watch the next season. 

This past week started off with a flat tire on Monday morning.  My low tire pressure had been coming on every once in a while since it got really cold. I thought it was just the weather because it would go back off. Monday morning, it definitely sounded and felt funny but I kept driving on it! I ended up driving all the way almost to work on Monday morning and ended up having to pull over on Hwy. 175. I called Colt and he came to change it for me. He wasn't very happy with me either. Of course he was mad that I kept driving on it but he was even more mad by where I parked the car after pulling over and off on the service road. Since I kept driving on the tire, what would've just been a nail in the tire and a free patch, turned into Colt having to order me a brand new tire. Lesson learned... if something sounds funny... go ahead and pull over immediately... which I knew... I don't know why I didn't! Monday night we went to dinner with Josh and Brianna at Taco Diner to celebrate Josh's birthday. 

A random phone pic of our dogs this week!

We had my work Christmas party on Thursday of this week, and I ended up with this little Nutcracker. 

I ended up leaving work a little early on Thursday to go pick up a Christmas present at the mall thinking it wouldn't be crowded. That was a big mistake. I went strictly in and out. Due to the crowd, we ended up running to Wal-Mart that night and did grocery shopping and some last minute Christmas shopping so that we didn't have to get out in the crowds again this weekend! 

Friday night we did make a trip to eat Salt Grass for dinner and pick up our last Christmas present. Yesterday I wrapped presents so I think we're done! I definitely waited until last minute this year. 

Here are a couple more random recent pics that were on my phone.

 I think he was taking inventory. 

And I just thought this was funny!

This is Colt's last week off for a while. Due to the way Christmas falls this year, I took the whole week off as well, and we are heading to my parents tomorrow to begin Christmas celebrations with the family. 

More SuperFit Pics

I blogged a few weeks ago about the SuperFit Games that Colt competed in. Here are a few more pics that I pulled off Facebook of him from the competition.

Early Christmas with Colt's Fam

The night we flew in from South Carolina, David picked us up from the airport and took us straight to their house for Christmas. Nicci's husband, Kevin, is in the army and didn't get leave for Christmas so the two of them and Davallen will be spending Christmas in El Paso this year. Kevin was in town this past weekend so we had a little early Christmas with them.

Davallen opening presents

The next day, Sunday, Colt and I went to a matinee to see Catching Fire. We both thought it was a great movie! I think they did an awesome job staying with the book. 

Later Sunday afternoon, Colt's mom, David and Davallen came over so David could watch football with Colt. Dede and I ended up doing a little online shopping. Davallen likes for Colt to wrap her up like a burrito. She made the comment that it was easy to get out and wanted level 2. Colt ended up taping her up in the burrito and she definitely couldn't get out!
