Halloween 2012

Happy Halloween!!!

We met up with our friends and walked the Harber loop again this year.  It seems the group just grows more and more each year and so does the fun!

These are the outfits the kids wore to school.

Thanks for the bat shirt Nona!

Colton's Birthday Card From Class

Colton's classmates (all 3 years old) made him a card for his birthday.  They are all very cute, sweet drawings until you see what my son drew.  Hmmmm...Interesting to say the least!  Kraig and I both laughed a lot at this!  Good memories for when he is older!

Well...lets just say he is all boy!  LOL

Pianalto Hayride 2012

Saturday afternoon the Pianalto's had a potluck and hayride.  This was a first for Colton and Taylor.  We all had a great time!  The kids got to play together while the adults caught up (as much as we could between feeding babies, changing diapers, etc).  Kraig was playing in a golf tournament so all the guys pitched in and helped me wrangle the older kids when needed.  Thanks for having us Casey, Justin, Colby and Ava!  Thanks for taking pictures for me Stacy, Lindsey and Jason!

I didn't get many pictures of Lauren because she didn't want to sit by me...she wanted to sit by Mr Jason on the back.

 

Family shot

Colton wanted to hold my hand (and I wanted to hold his) the whole hayride!  I loved it!

Chewing on her hands (they hayride put her to sleep!)

Colton kept blocking his eyes from the sun so I gave him my sunglasses.  He only wore them for a short time and gave them back but I had to take a picture.  Love this boy!

Happy 3rd Birthday Colton!

My BABY boy is officially 3 now!  I can't believe it.  It seems like yesterday he was born.  Click here for those pics!

Things about you at 3:

• You are just the cutest thing ever right now with a little 'spirit' included (and by spirit I mean ornery/strong willed just like me).
• You love to play with cars/trucks/planes/trains/guns/make towers...anything boy!
• You are now potty trained (still working on #2 but #1 you are good to go) and only wear a pull up at night.
• You call your undies panties because you have an older sister and that's all you have heard until now.
• You love your little sister and always give her a hug WITH a kiss...you can't just give her one or the other.
• You love to play with your big sister and in an all boy fashion love to wreck things she builds and laugh about it.
• You have the sweetest voice when you say "sissy will you play with me?"
• Your personality is just so cute and you are starting to laugh and tell jokes even more than you used to.
• You love to run around (with or without clothes).
• You love to announce when you toot and will laugh afterwards.  :-)
• Your best friends at school are Tate, Abby and Dylan.
• I'm learning that you like to do things in a certain way/order.  For instance one day I was trying to put your undies/pants/socks and shoes on and then have you stand up.  You said "no...that's not how it goes" and I realized you wanted to stand up, pull your pants up and then sit back down to put your shoes on because they of course go on last!  :-)  You are so like me it's scary!  You would think I would know how to deal with this but since we are so alike I have to check myself at times too and am learning in the process.  I remember the first time I left Lauren overnight.  I started crying when I was telling my sister Tammy how to do things because the pack n play was not in the same direction we had it at home!  LOL  So I guess I have passed on my OCD to my son.  :-)

I took cupcakes to your class Friday to share with your friends.

Here's the video of your classmates singing you happy birthday.

Colton's 3 Year Check Up

Kraig took Colton for his 3 year check up yesterday to get his flu mist.  He did great and was happy to spend time with daddy.  They went to Kraig's work before the appointment and after the doctor he was sad to go to school as he wanted to go back to daddy's work.  :-(
You are right along the same lines as Lauren was at 3 (32 lbs and 38 inches).  Click here for those pics.

Stats:

10/18/2012

33 lbs

37.8 inches

50th percentile for both

Reading a book and getting his flu mist like a big boy!

Colton's 3rd Birthday Party - Chuck E Cheese

Sunday afternoon we celebrated Colton's 3rd birthday a little early.  He wanted a Chuck E Cheese party even though he has never been (except when I was pregnant with him.  Click here for that party).  The only thing he knew about it was from TV commercials he has seen.  It's a little crazy in there because there are other parties going on right next to you but the kids had a great time and Colton got to spend time with his friends and play games!

Thanks for celebrating with us!
