Spring Fun...

For Mothers Day all I really wanted was to get the grass layed in the back yard.  Chris and his dad worked all day Saturday and got it done for me!!! I am soooo happy!  Colin will love being able to play outside on the grass, he even looks out the back window and says "outsie?"We have a playground right next to our house and when its nice weather we like to get out and play on it.  Unfortunately this day of play was very short due to the fact that colin is practically translucent and started to sunburn after 10 minutes.

Also...Colin had his 18 months checkup...He is definitley a healthy little man.  He is 99% for his height, crazy, I know.  And according to the charts his the perfect weight for his height.  

Easter!!!

We did an egg hunt for Colin on Easter...he had a blast.  He knew exactly what to do.  After he had found all of his eggs he even started taking them out of his basket and hiding them himself.  The Easter Bunny brought Colin a bunch of matchbox cars and some really cool bubbles.  We attempted to involve Colin in the dying of Easter eggs Saturday night but he was un impressed.  I hope next year he will be a little more excited about it!

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".
