Smart little guy

Colby loves to draw on his whiteboard. So I pulled it out and asked him to draw Colby. I meant a little stick figure of himself, but apparently he didn't catch that. Needless to say I was pretty shocked! And apparently we need to work on Y's (and B's) a little bit. LOL

Snow!

Mommy hates the snow, but Colby might actually like it! He loved building snowmen, and mom got pelted a LOT while trying to take pictures. Now lets just hope it melts quickly!

Getting Ready for Parker

Colby's about to be a big brother soon! Parker should be arriving sometime in the next four weeks. We spent the past weekend getting Parker's nursery set up. Colby was... helpful. You can guess how much Dad appreciated his 'help'. However, we can't help but love how excited Colby is for "Baby Parker"! He knows that Baby Parker is in Mommy's belly right now, and that we get to see him a lot on "Baby Parker TV" (ultrasounds). His enthusiasm is so cute, I can't wait until he gets to hold his brother for the first time!

Trick or treat!

Colby wanted to go dressed as his favorite person this year, so here is our little Buzz Lightyear. He was grumpy at first, but then really got into it and scored a lot of loot! We love Halloween at our house!

Getting Ready for Halloween!

We've only done a little bit to get ready for Halloween, but its been fun.

Colby was so super proud of his pumpkin he made at pre-school. We had to hang it on our wall!

And he loved his new pumpkin trick-or-treat basket. Simple joys, but I loved his happy smile. :)

We got these funky looking pumpkins from Uncle Chicken-Butt, and spent the morning carving them. They were grotesque looking! This was Colby's first attempt at actual carving, last year we cheated with push-in Mr Potato Head pieces.

And due to Colby disliking the feeling of anything yucky, he washed his hands approximately 20 times during this process!

Our very basic pumpkin. Daddy came home and carved a better one, but oh well. We like ours!

Three years old!

Today is Colby's 3rd Birthday! We are so lucky to have him in our lives we love and adore him so much! He's (relatively) well-behaved and such a smart little guy. Here's a "3" update on him!

Swimming

This time of year I always get super nostalgic about all the fun summer activities we did! Colby has loved swimming, even getting brave and just using a noodle or floatie ring to stay above the water.
