Entering the terrible two's

I guess it's true what they  say about the Terrible Two's.  They apparentely really do start at 18 months.  Colin officially turned 18 months yesterday...and had his first full out Temper Tantrum today.   Luckily it didn't last too long, but chris and I really had no idea what to do so we just kinda sat their and watched it unravel.  After about 5 minutes he chilled out and forgot what he was upset about.  I dont' know how I am going to do with this discipling stuff, I am really good at loving him and caring for him, but not so good at ...well any of the hard stuff.  

Look at that face though!  Could he be any cuter?   

DisneyLand

For Valentines Day I suprised Chris with a trip to DisneyLand...

Just for the two of us.  I knew we needed to get away

and it seemed like a good vacation that we could go on for just a few days.  

Leaving Colin was a little hard, and we seemed to talk about him around 75%  of the time.

We also spent a record number of hours cruising the gift shops looking for things

we could bring home for him.  All in all it was really fun to just have some time away.

Thanks for Aunt JackiLynn and Grandmoo and PoP Pop for 

watching the little bugger while we were gone!

Friday Nights with the Hales

On Friday night, chris decided to put my pajama pants on Colin.

Since they are obviously way too huge for him, chris fashioned them into overalls!

One of Colin's favorite things is to put on headphones and jam out to music.

Such a stud!

Painting

                                                                           Before...

                                                                            After!

Now that I have a new cute comforter, we finally got around to doing our first paint job in the new house.  Chris was a little weary about the colors...especially having an accent wall. But in the end he loves it.  We couldn't have done it without Chris' dad, since we had no idea how to paint efficiantly, or my parents who watched Colin so we could just focus on painting.  Painting is hard work tho, I was sore the next day!

Phone Update

So we finally heard back from at&t...they agreed to drop the charges! Yipee! It's a good thing too cuz I was about to bust a cap if they didn't! haha i am such a hard ass!

Other than that whole fiasco, we are doing really well. Colin is growing like a maniac, I think he has grown about an inch in the last month. Somehow he is going to be tall, which is beyond me since Chris and I are practically "little people".

My $7,250 phone bill!

For Christmas Chris got me an Iphone...so cute...so fun. Well in order for us to get the lower price of the phone we had to open up another line for $10 more a month. We don't have a house phone so we decided we could use that as an emergancy line in case we need it.
Well for those of you who have a phone with unlimited internet access you know you have to pay like a $30 a month charge. Well we got our phone and put my sim card in it and were having a great time using it all month.
So we look at our bill and low and behold it is over $7,000!!! I guess since we put my card in the phone the unlimited internet fee of $30 isn't on my line, only the new one. So here we are with an ginormous phone bill that we are obviously in the process of disputing, but only time will tell if they decided to drop the charges. If not I guess we will have to get a lawyer...or claim phone bill bankruptcy.
But a word to the wise...be careful, make sure you don't end up in this situation!

All About The Holidays!

Our computer has been having some technical difficulties...which is why I have not posted anything for so long. But we had a really fun december, here are some pics of Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Years
