Hot Wheels Mania

Colin has been busy building different Hot Wheels tracks using his three motors to push the cars all the way around the creations. Tunnels, turns, and jumps make up many of the ideas. Everyday he and Dad have a Championship race to see which cars make it through the tough track.

Happy Easter

Lexi and Lucas' Nana and Papa hosted everyone for Easter brunch and an Easter egg hunt. Colin had found his basket earlier that morning. It was full of goodies from Nana Mary and Papa Beard, who, we shared, are good friends with the Easter Bunny.

The kids helped Nana Sheila and Aunt Anita make a lamb cake. Lexi and Colin were grossed out and excited to eat its face. Then the three cousins ran in circles around the house hopped up on a sugar overload.

Colin's PreSchool Christmas program

Our first kid concert and Colin had a solo. While being a little goofy and showing off his tics, he did pull it together to pop right up to the mic and finish out Frosty the Snowman. It was all very sweet. For two weeks he was so excited about his part and concerned that everyone be on time.

Syd crawling and cruising

Syd started crawling between 8 and 9 months and is cruising now in her 10th month. She may be like her brother and start walking on her birthday. Between the cold weather and the teething, her cheeks are constantly chapped. She babbles up a storm and enjoys rough housing with Colin.

Colin's 5th Birthday

Colin invited his class, neighbor kids, and cousin Lexi to his superhero themed birthday party at the community center. He chose to wear the Batman costume made by Nana Mary. The party was absolute mayhem. And, he received a ton of gifts.

Skyzone

Colin totally found his zone at Skyzone a giant trampoline play place. He even joined the bigger kids in a game of dodge ball.

Christmas 2012

Colin is into building pillow forts, and Syd is into eating tags.
