Colin 12 mos photos by Stacy

We did Colin's 12 mos pictures the end of May. We had to try 2 different days to get what we wanted. But all in all the pictures turned out great. Stacy did an awesome job, like always!!! Enjoy :>)

Trunk or Treat and Pumpkin Carving

Happy Halloween!
Colin was "Albert" and of course the cutest gator I've ever seen. :) We had Trunk or Treat at church yesterday, it was such fun. Colin did great with his costume, he didn't really understand the whole getting candy thing . . . but he enjoyed handing candy to the other kids that came to our car. He stayed at Mama Dee and Pop's car to help pass out candy for probably 30 minutes. It was so very cute!

Mommy and her little gator ;>)

Trying to get a family picture at the hay, but Colin wasn't looking at the camera. Oh well, we tried!

So cute, hugging his friend Alyssa.

Colin even enjoyed some games!

Aimee and I matched!

Even the adults got in on the fun during the cake walk, we were all trying to win a cake made by Terri (everything she makes is amazing)!!!!

Jill, Matt, Emma, and Jackson came to Trunk or Treat and then we went to dinner. We had a great time, the kids were tired but it all worked out ;>)

Pumpkin carving!

Colin loved carving the pumpkin, he though it was the coolest thing. He put his hands in the seeds and pumpkin goo, he would say "OOOHHHH!" He liked scrapping the seeds out and then scrapping even after daddy had cleaned it all out. We video the whole experience, we'll post it later.

What a big helper!

The finished project :>)

Colin kept taking the pumpkin or "punky"'s hat off. This was a great memory to make!

Fall time fun!

The weather is cooling off a little here, so we are trying to enjoy the outdoors or "OUSIDE!!!" as my son says. Colin loves the park by our house, we have been going a few times a week. I love him in this little hoodie :)

Colin's favorite thing at the park is the slide. He is super independent and wants no help from anyone. Sean and I tried to help him out on this particular day, but he wanted to do it himself. He is becoming so big! (tear)

Colin sliding all by himself!

Colin playing at the park with PawPaw and Daddy, one Saturday morning.

Random pic! Jo Jo and I matched one Wednesday night at church, definite photo opp ;>)

Colin snacking on some yogurt bites at church, we were waiting for the other kids to come to class.

Cheese it for Mommy after a diaper change this Sunday.
"CHEESE!!!!"

What a happy boy! I love him so much and feel so blessed to have a son that is definitely a mama's boy (for now anyway)!!

We got to spend the day with the Mankins, in Destin, this past week. It was so nice hanging out with some of our favorite people :>) Colin really took to Courtney ("Ourtney" as he said) and I got some snuggle time with baby Noland. For sure an even trade, very fun day!

Colin got a surprise from Jo Jo recently . . . .

a singing and dancing Mickey Mouse!!!!!

If you know Colin Matthew, you know that he LOVES certain things . . . his paci, his Bubbas, outside, Percy, and of course Mickey Mouse! We watch Mickey in the mornings and in the car, we watch Mickey OnDemand when Colin is cranky or tired, we read Mickey books and wear Mickey shirts. If it is about Mickey, then Colin is about it!!! Good call, Jo Jo ;>)

Thanks Jo Jo!!!!!!
