February 2012

Colin helped make alphabet crackers. He did a great job!
We went to visit Rodney's family in Las Vegas. Colin had so many late nights that he was so tired and fell asleep on Rodney's lap! Something that hasn't happened for a long time!
Cousins! Colin, Bella (6) and Addison (2)
We went to a great playground in Las Vegas. Colin loved this huge archway to climb on!
Colin is still obsessed with letters. He reads everything and even likes to line up his letter magnets. He's starting to say "M says mmmm" and things like that too.
Colin's first watercolors! We kept one and sent the other two to the Grandparents. The other page is very faint crayon circles.
He was very good at watercolors! He would go down the row of colors in the tray over and over again, remembering where he had left off when he stopped to get more water on his brush.

This is "helping" mommy put away the towels.
He likes to line up the letters by color too. Red just so happens to be all the vowels.
His tricycle from Grandma and Grandpa Crowder! He's getting the hang of it...when he's not looking at his reflection in the chrome over the back wheels!
He definately needs help steering. It's good to practice going to get the mail. It only took about 15 minutes to go there and back yesterday.
One of Colin's faces that he likes to draw too.
We've been up to the same stuff recently...work, housework, Colin's activities. But, we have done some fun new things. Take a look!

January 2012

Me, Colin, Rodney, Aunt Peggy, Uncle Ken, Dad, Jason, Katie, Brendan and Sarah
It snowed just over an inch one day so we got to play in the snow- for 10 minutes! It had "warmed up" to 25 degrees!
Colin and Rodney knew exactly what to do with the snow!
Gotcha, Daddy!
Colin finally warmed up to Grandma and found a great game to play- zip and unzip Grandma's robe!
My cousin, Ann, and her kids, Michael, Matthew and Elizabeth. We had a great visit to her beautiful home in the country!
Cousins playing
Colin, where's the penguin? "There it is!"
Colin and Brendan brushing a goat at the zoo. Colin had to brush every goat in the pen.
Their measurements are a little off I think. Colin's at least 41" tall- much bigger than a river otter!
Grandpa pileup!
This was at a rest stop in Texas in 2011.
The same rest stop this year.
Colin driving through the Painted Desert.
Sorry for not keeping up on our posts! Things have been busy here in 2012. We started the year on the road. Our big road trip to Missouri with Mom and Dad went great. Colin did well in the car and it was a really good drive. We had a great time in Missouri. We went to the Zoo with Sarah and Brendan, to the Butterfly house with Jason and family and some friends and even went to eat Indian food! Colin loves Naan! We got to see all our friends and a lot of family. We had great times everywhere!
