Painter .. *

Before I started dating Colby, my family had a meeting. Subject: How can Colby Carter be an asset around here? How can he add to this family? Kidding. However, he has been a huge addition. He started painting with his Dad's painting business many years ago. He's had a lot of practice and it shows. He does an incredible job and he loves it.
  When we started making concrete plans for our trip to LA my sister mentioned that her bedroom needed a new do. Colby was in. We decided to leave a day early so he'd have time for work and play. We packed up and hit the road.
  Once we arrived Colb immediately got started. He had more help than he expected. He soaked in every minute he had with his future employees and loved every second. The blue Kady went with turned out amazing. I LOVE the finished product. Hopefully the Peterson's do as well.
  After he finished the job he was offered another one. We've been home a week and he has already figured out how to paint the stucco on the outside of their house! We can't wait to head back to Cali and visit ... I mean work.

I'm pretty sure these two held these brushes for a full hour waiting for their turn to help.

We're still talking about how much fun we had with the kids. 
Colby hasn't had too many opportunities to spend with young kids so he was a little nervous but you wouldn't know it, He enjoyed all of it and the kids loved him to pieces. 

Although I don't think he was referred to anything except 'The Guy' until the very last day.

  1. Maybe we'll call him when we start painting or house :-)

    Colby is the type of guy kids will love... the more he is around them the more he will adore them and they will adore him! If he needs practice, I'm sure there are more than a few mothers out there who would be willing to let him try :-) Ha ha
