I Do Such Good Work

So me and mommy decided to meet in the middle when it came to Christmas decorating. I wanted the tree up this year and she didn't want to put up her special "non-Colin safe" ornaments. We decided that we would put up the tree and only decorate with "Colin-safe" ornaments. This was my first time decorating the tree and I am very proud of myself! From my height it looks SO good. Maybe in a few years we can put on ALL the decorations :)

Happy Birthday!

It's official...I'm 2 years old. Boy how time sure flies. I had such a fun birthday. My mom and dad threw a party for me and all my friends came. They sure did spoil me. I got a bunch of toys (a lot of them make noise), a Garfield rug for my room and a bike that will teach me how to balance on a real one some day. I also had my crib transformed into a little boys bed. It is SO much fun being able to climb in and out of it on my own. Mom was really sad when she changed it, but she understands that the time comes for these milestones in my life. Thank you again mom and dad for the fun party. I'm looking forward to the next one :)

Who Lives In A Pineapple Under the Sea....

I was Spongebob Squarepants for Halloween this year. I like him a lot and laugh every time he comes on. I had such a fun Halloween this year. I went to daddy's work for lunch and some early trick-or-treating. Then I went over to grandpa's to trick-or-trick some more, and then I finished out the night trick-or-treating in my neighborhood. I did such a good job and I even carried my bag of candy the whole way. Every time mom would help I wouldn't let her. I'm a big boy mom...I'm almost 2!

Pumpkin Patch Time

Yesterday me and mommy and grandpa went on the Heber Valley Railroad to pick pumpkins and of course ride the train. It was so much fun. I got a train whistle, a toy train, cookies and of course a pumpkin. I'm glad grandpa was able to come with us! Thank you grandpa for a fun day!
And p.s. mom....thank you for all the hard work you have been doing putting together my birthday party. You're the best! xoxo

Such The Ladies Man!

The last time I was at The Little Gym I made a little friend. I gave her a tour of the establishment and even stopped long enough for our moms to take a picture. Maybe next time I will see if mommy will let me take her out for a sippy cup date!

Yeah Vacation!!

This weekend I went with mommy, daddy and grandpa to Mesquite. We went to a BBQ competition and my daddy became certified to be a judge next time. I got to go down a HUGE bouncy slide with mommy and my cousin Jeremy. But my favorite part of the trip was going down the slide at the pool. I went down so many times with daddy it wore me out! Let's go again soon!

Ta Da!!

I can't believe how much of a slacker my mom has been! She has no excuse other than she is SO sick of summer and has been hibernating inside where it's cold. I'm with ya mom...I can't wait either until it gets cold and snows, but really...keep everyone updated from time to time.
So here are just a few random pics of me doing silly stuff this summer. I found a pen...need I say more? I also found a bottle of baby powder, that was pretty awesome. And then mom let me have a bunch of stickers. What better place to display them then on my face!

Thank you Grandpa!!!

When we got home from Vegas, grandpa surprised me with my first swing set! It is SO cool. It has a rock wall that I can climb on, a super fun slide that I love going down, it even has a little bar that I can sit at and have a cool beverage when its hot. Mommy and daddy did such a good job of putting it together. It took a couple of days, but it was worth it. I sure do have the best grandpa EVER!!

What Happens in Vegas....

Should stay in Vegas, but thanks to mom and her camera...they didn't. I had a blast with grandma and daddy. I tore the place up, even took my first big boy shower. Things got kinda crazy toward the end of our trip. Thanks mom for documenting everything!!

Strut Your Mutt!

How time goes by fast! I can't believe it's already been another year and another Strut Your Mutt. Daddy got home the night before so he was able to go with me and mommy, grandpa and Nyssa. We had a great time and Nyssa was the prettiest dog there!! I can't wait for next year. This is a great tradition.

Here Fishy Fishy!

Today me and mommy went to Thanksgiving Point with Aunt Wendy and her kids to look at the tulips and the fishy's. I had fun looking at all the flowers and watching mommy put on a show for all the people! If you take a look at the last picture you will notice a red arrow. Not 2 seconds after mommy took this picture, I took my shoe off and dropped it in the lake. So...mommy ran to pull a reed out of the lake (it wasn't very stiff) and preceded to slowly drag my shoe from the end of the dock to the edge of the pond where she could then run into the water and get it. It took about 10 minutes for mommy to crawl on the dock to finally get the shoe where she could grab it. Luckily...Tiny Tom shoes float!! I sure wish we had this on camera, but mom has the wet shoes and pants to remember the event for quite a while :)
Love you mommy!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's day mom. I asked daddy if he would do something special for you, and this is what he came up with! I'm also proud of dad because he got an award last week. He is such a good airforce dad! I'm really proud.

Just for you dad!

Hi dad. Here are some pictures of the yard that mom promised you. She finally got around to posting them, so I hope you like them. If you want different pictures of the flowers, let mom know the next time you talk to her. She's working on a way to send you the videos, so keep an eye out for those.
Love you!

Happy Easter Daddy

Hi Daddy! I had such a good Easter! I got a bounce house!!! The first couple of pictures are at aunt Kristin's house. I found a bunch of Easter eggs and won that big basket. It was so much fun and mommy didn't even help out that much. Then at grandpa's the Easter Bunny brought me a big Mickey Mouse...and a bounce house! It is SO much fun. I can't wait to go back. It has a slide and basketball hoops and even came with some balls and an inflatable hockey stick. It's AWESOME. We hope you had a good Easter. Mommy made sure the Easter Bunny knew where you were living. See you really soon!

Yea Fish!

Over the weekend I went to the aquarium with Aunt Kristin, Jackson, Peyton and Traiton. It was a lot of fun because we got there early and had the whole place to ourselves. I'm getting so big and I can run around all by myself and look at all the fish and penguins. Hopefully the next time I go daddy will be home to take me!
