buffalo's and baseball

We had our 4th annual trip to antelope island on saturday.  Every year in June we like to go and drive around and see all the cool buffalo and watch the sun set.  We had so much fun and got to see buffalo within about 4 feet of the car. We also went with my family to the bee's game last week.  Last year Colin cried everytime we cheered, but this year he had a blast watching the players...and even more fun riding on the little train.  

A Day out, with Thomas...

For Memorial day, my super cute grandma took us all to see Thomas the tank engine in Heber.  It is such a fun thing for boys to do, and there are 3 boys right at the perfect age for it.  Colin was really overwhelmed but once we got on the train he zoned out and just watched the scenery.  Oh, and yes...that is my husband with no hair.  He got sick of his long locks and decided to buzz it off to the scalp whilst I was sleeping.  A few tears were shed, and then I got over it, now I actually like it.

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!
