December 2010

Colin celebrated his 3 1/2 birthday at school on Monday. He was very excited about that day. He got to wear his crown for the day, be the line leader, and also hold the flag.

Santa came to Hughes Christmas on Sunday. He brought Colin a fire fighter walkie-talkie. Colin told him that he would like a Toy Santa for Christmas. I said, "that is different than what you have asked for in the past." he said, "well, I already told him the other stuff." Very clever I thought.

3 cousins at Christmas program. Colin, Lauren, and Logan all were in this years preschool Christmas program. Colin now knows how to spell CHRISTMAS and knows some other great songs. We don't have any good pictures of him singing because the other parents were so crazy. We entered a completely different world when we went to the program. It was inside the Body of the Church, before it started everyone was sitting nicely...once the kids came in the chaos began. Parents practically in front of the teacher trying to get pictures and videos of their kids. We decided next year we should turn the camera on the parents!!!

Colin met Santa in Glenwood this year. This picture was also in our local paper. Very exciting!!!

Thanksgiving in Mexico

Colin's first walk into the ocean
Colin running from the waves. He loved the taste of the salt water and would say, "mmmm I love the salty"

Colin and I relaxing on the beach of Isla Mujeres.

Colin and Matt at Margaritaville with some yummy nachos. Colin had a blast there watching the "creatures" dance on stage and all the fun music, balloons and entertainment.

Colin and I at Market 28. Here we got Colin a Mexico soccer jersey that is going to be hard to peel off of him. By the end of our visit to Market 28, Colin was saying, "No Thanks" to all the crazy vendors.

While Matt took a nap on the plane, Colin and I designed faces on his back with Bendaroos. Great invention!!!

Halloween 2010

Colin and Savannah

Haylee, Logan, Baby Bradley, Lauren, Abby, Emma, Colin and a neighbor girl. At least I don't think she is a cousin!

Matt was in charge of Halloween this year, I was home sick. Colin came home with plenty of candy to share with mom and dad. He is already talking about next year.

Fall 2010

Homecoming 2010

Colin got his first Glenwood Rams shirt and we have had a hard time getting him to take it off. I am sure there will be more pictures in the future with the Glenwood shirts.

Preschool Trip

Matt took Logan and Colin to the Sunday afternoon preschool trip. They had a great time hiking and climbing.

FIRST DAY of PRESCHOOL!

Colin started preschool this morning - I can hardly believe it. He is just 3 and will go to preschool for 3 years. He had fun and is excited to return!

Weekend at the Lake

Fun weekend at the lake with friends!

Matt showing off his water skills!

Summer Days

I got this ball for Colin last summer and we used it once this summer because I left it out and the wind came by and took it! I know that is a big surprise for those of you who have been to our house. He had a wonderful summer. He passed his swim class and is a total fish now, he does not want to wear a life jacket or floaties now.

4th of July

Colin showing off for the camera!

Colin enjoying his first sparkler.

The kids lined up to watch the display.

Fireworks were too loud, so a few migrated inside.

Colin turned 3 - June 13

Swim Lessons

Colin's cousins Logan and Haylee were in his swim lesson class this year. They had a lot of fun. Logan and Colin usually got split up because they didn't pay attention while next to eachother. They did great and Colin's confidence in the water has greatly improved.
