Happy Birthday Collin!


I cannot believe that we have had Collin for 2 years now! We are so blessed to have such a funny, sweet, energetic, and handsome two-year old. Collin has blessed and enriched our lives more than we could ever imagine.


On the morning of his birthday our little family all went swimming. It is always a great time at the neighborhood pool. Later that afternoon, we let him unwrap the gifts we had picked out for him. His gifts were: a BIG Tonka Truck w/ matching construction hat and tools, two foam swords, (so that he can fight with these instead of the vacuum extension tubes, which he almost once killed me with- lets just say he is a LITTLE agressive) fingerpaints, and smaller tonka trucks and tractors. Collin is OBSESSED with all types of redneck vehicles :)


That evening we went to Chuck E. Cheese with 2 of Collin's best friends; Tyson and Joshua (and their families). We had a blast with them. When it came time to pick out a prize with his tickets, Collin wanted the "Big Bee" in the window. The big bee was a bright orange grasshopper that is about the size of your hand. We didn't have enough tickets to get it, so we tried to talk him into other stuff. But, he wasn't having that and continued to point to the "big bee!!!" So Dave and I went to work at actually trying to win some tickets with the rest of our tokens. Luckily, we came through :) and Collin left happy with his big orange grasshopper.

Happy Birthday to you, You're a big boy now -taller leaner - not a little baby. Wow, It sure looks like you had a lot of fun at Chucky Cheese. It was your mom's favorite place when she was your age and little older.

We love you so much. It's great your mom works on a family blog sharing your family actitivties with us. It's so great to see. We also really enjoy talking with you on the phone - hearing your sweet voice.

WHAT?!?! You have a 2-year-old? I had no idea he was that big! Wow, that went fast- I can't believe it's been that long since the 146th ward!

Well, I hope you are enjoying Alabama. I am actually loving Texas, much to my surprise. It's kind of fun being out on your own!

Well, he is a darling boy. Congrats on the big B-Day!
