Just Playing :>)

We have really been enjoying our time off for Christmas break. Colin and mommy have spent some quality time together, which was my #1 on my list of things to do :) Sean got sick the first part of the break, so my Mama Dee watched Colin while I went to get my hair cut. This was what I found when I came to pick C up . . . Colin and Mama Dee working/playing in the yard!

Colin and Mommy playing in the leaves, Colin loves to tickle and tackle . . . exhibit A- the above pic!

Colin throwing leaves in Mommy's hair :)

He enjoyed just running through the pile, more than playing in them. Mama Dee would rake the pile up and then C would laugh as he ran through the pile. Don't get me wrong he did jump in it and play, but I think that the act of messing up what Mama Dee had done was the fun part! ;>)

Mama Dee put that boy to work!

He thinks he is SO BIG!

Alright, I am done raking, now time for a rest ;>)

We love Chicfila!

What a cute little cow!
(actually the realness of the hats were kind of creepy ;)

So my son loves to organize/ stack things up and horses are not off limits. These were some pics that Jo Jo took of Colin during Wednesday night bible class.

Nicely done! ;>)

20 months and Sean's Birthday

Colin is 20 months! Wow how fast these months have gone by, Sean and I can't believe that our baby is a toddler now. Colin is all boy. He loves to play wrestle, tickle, run, jump, climb on anything, slide, swing, throw and hit a baseball, kick a ball, He is making 3 word sentences and adds to his vocabulary everyday. Sometimes Sean and I will ask he each, "Did you teach him that word?" and the answer is usually, "No!" He just soaks up all knowledge!! He is amazing, we are so blessed by Colin Matthew!

Colin loves his mama! I am soaking up this stage while I can ;>)

Colin loves to eat and will try anything you give, he has discovered recently that he loves jello!

These pics were taken on a Wednesday night during bible class, this is a true look into Colin's personality . . . ENJOY!

Colin helping his buddy, Jackson, celebrate his birthday. Colin and Jackson are exactly 4 months apart. They both were really enjoying that cake!

Happy Birthday, Jackson!

Colin had been playing hard and was getting tired :)

Read Colin's shirt . . . we had to get this, especially for Mickey

Colin gave Jackson this Donald and Goofy, but then he decided that he wanted to play with them. We had to hide them so we could leave without Colin throwing a fit and Jackson actually getting to keep his birthday present.

Happy Birthday, Sean!!!

We celebrated Sean's 28th birthday at Mellow Mushroom, with pizza and some carrot cake cupcakes from Oh Snap! Cupcakes . . . so good!

Colin was saying, "NO!" to the camera ;>)

Sean, Colin, and I went to Foley to do some birthday shopping. Colin and I rode the carousal, he really enjoyed it. Colin was calling the horse Bullseye and telling him, "Ride like the wind, Bullseye!" (he is really into Woody from Toy Story)

Thanksgiving and Santa 2010

Happy Thanksgiving! Colin stuffing his face says it all . . .

We had 2 Thanksgiving dinners this year. Sean, Colin, and I had lunch at Aunt Donna and Uncle Jeff's with all my mom's side of the family. We had good food, some fun, and fellowship! Then we went home and took a nap. After our nap we headed to the White's to eat dinner with Paw Paw and Granny. Over all we ate too much, but had a nice Thanksgiving. We were reminded how blessed we are by our families!

Mama Dee enjoying Aunt Donna and Uncle Jeff's famous pumpkin pie ;>)

Colin had to go play outside, he really wanted to get in the pool but we had to draw a line somewhere. So he played with the pool noodles. He sword fought Jo Jo and beat up Cousin Jeffrey with the noodles!

Colin really likes the kitties at Aunt Donna and Uncle Jeff's house but they don't like him. The cats hide! Uncle Jeff caught Carmen the kitty so Colin could love on her. He really wanted to hold her!

Colin loves to play! He was trying to get this guy in the truck to drive, but he wouldn't fit which made Colin very upset. He still kept trying!

This guy is made to drive the truck, Colin wasn't getting so mad at him ;>)

Colin, Mama Dee, Jo Jo, and I went shopping on Black Friday which is our tradition. Colin did great, we shopped from 8 am-2 pm! I was proud if him, but we did have to ride some trucks and trains and go see Santa :>)

Santa Claus is coming to town!
We have been to see Santa twice. The first time was 2 weeks ago, we went to Bass Pro. They have a great Santa. Colin wanted to see him and talk to him, but when it came time to sit in his lap . . . that wasn't happening, so we had a family picture with Santa!

Colin and mommy waiting to see Santa!

Checking Santa out, not sure about this bearded guy!

Family picture :>)

The second time we saw Santa was Black Friday, while we were shopping. Colin and mommy waiting to see Santa :>)

Santa gave Colin a little gift, a penguin toy.

Colin talked to him and gave him a five, but he wouldn't sit in his lap.

So mommy was in the picture, too!
