Colin....Where are you?

Thursday morning Colin was being very quiet, so I went to look for him and sure enough he was in our bathroom. He has a small infatuation with all sorts of paper!

Just Some Cute Photos

This is what happens when I get the camera out and do not give it to him!

Such a big guy! On his way to Bass Pro with his Dad and his favorite Camo hat!

Not much new happening around the Steele's. I am sorry it has been so long since we have updated the blog. Colin is so busy these days and when I get the camera out he thinks he should hold it, so it is much harder to take a photo of him. This weekend we received a good taste of parenthood. It was my 10 year reunion and we were also supposed to go out of town for a wedding. Friday Colin came down with a 102 temp and pretty much canceled most of our weekend plans. It is much more comforting to be with him then be some where else and worry. He is doing much better now and we believe it was from his first molar coming in. We hope all is well with everyone and you are enjoying the start of fall.

Steele Expo

The second annual Steele Sportsman Expo was again successful. The guys certainly enjoyed the events and the nice weather. The girls enjoyed eating, chatting and staying out of the rain. We had a few new competitors this year, people are starting to hear about this great event. Andy Martin was the champion this year.

Many of the nieces and nephews made it to the party too. Above Abby and Lauren are playing with Nalo the kitty (note the name change, it is now a boy) Below Emma is helping Colin with a toy.

This morning I realized that all of the hallway doors need to be shut. Prior to today I would leave Colin's room open so he could go play in there. Well, he was found today in the trash can and then hiding in his closet. He really likes hiding in closets even if there is no light....for about 30 seconds.

If you can't read his lips he is saying BOO....surprise - surprise!

Girls Weekend

This morning I was cleaning up the kitchen, Colin went in to the pantry to get out the broom to lend a hand.

This weekend I met two of my college roommates in Kansas City for a girls weekend. It had been over a year since we had been together. Stacy came by train from St. Louis and Hadley flew in from Houston. We had a lot of fun but I certainly missed my boys while I was gone. When I got home on Sunday Colin was acting a little fussy, that turned into a cold and then Matt came down with the flu - proving they can't live with out me!

(For those of you coming to the Expo I will disinfect the house, no worries!)

30th Birthday

It has been a long time since we have updated the blog. Matt turned 30 this past weekend and the weekend prior we went to Minnesota to celebrate his 30th birthday with a couple of his college friends who were also celebrating birthdays. On Matt's real birthday he spent most of the day working outside. Colin and I tried to help, but it ended with Colin playing in the hose. Enjoy the new photos!

A New Addition

This past week we adopted a kitty. Matt and I are NOT fans of cats, but a friend was moving and couldn't take the cat. The joys of real estate. The first night we brought the kitty home Savannah was NOT happy but as you can see, things changed quickly. Savannah has a new friend now and Colin really enjoys her too. We decided to call the kitty Nala because Colin repeated it right after we said it. Nala has already killed a mouse! Oh, and she will be an outdoor cat.

Colin hanging out while at his cousin Nathan's birthday party.

We hung a tv above the fireplace. This opened up a corcer for all of Colin's things in the living room. I caught him watching Jeopardy the other day. Our little genius!

Colin's 1 year Photos

This is a link to Colin's first year photos and the first official Steele family photos. We hope you enjoy. Colin had much more fun that Matt during this =)
