Happy 35th Birthday, Todd!!!

We love you!

Happy Easter!

I pray that you have a good Easter. I know that many families will have a hard one this year because of Friday's storms.

This was Collin's 1st Easter to decorate eggs. He did great!

Check him out...

new pics

I have been neglecting my blog for "Facebook". Yes, I am becoming one of them!

Collin had his Spring pics done at school the other week, and I thought I would share!

Mommies "special soap"

This evening when I was giving Collin his bath, I stepped around the corner to put a load of laundry to wash. When I got back in the bathroom, Collin said proudly, "I filled it up, Mommie". He had dumped out my very nice Arbonne Citrus Ginger Sugar Body scrub into the bath water and filled the empty botle up with water and screwed the lid on. He was so proud that he got it open, filled it up, and screwed the top back on. I didn't know what to say! On one hand I wanted to fuss because that stuff is expensive, but Collin was so proud, I couldn't burst his bubble. Needless to say, he smelled very nice after his bath, and he should! He is the only kid I know to have had a bath with $40 bath soap!

My Big Boy

Collin had a big night last night! We had a run-in with the "Paci Mouse" (you will have to read the previous post) and he pee-peed in the potty!!! He was starting to poop in his diaper and we ran to the potty and he pee-peed!!! He was so proud. Then he ran around the house naked and pee-peed on the kitchen floor and then pee-peed in the potty again. So, it is definitely a work in progress.

GOOD JOB COLLIN!!!! We are so proud of you!

The "Paci Mouse"

We have had a visit from a "mouse" that likes to eat pacis. Collin seemed to be open with the idea, until bedtime last night. It took him 1 hour after I put him to bed to settle down, and he didn't settle down until I gave him a non-nibbled paci. Maybe we will try in another week or so. I am hoping that we can work on in while we are on Spring break in a few weeks. I will update you on our progress (or lack of)!

I love...

Collin and I were on our way home tonight and in the back seat I hear him saying, "I love bear", "I love God", "I love Santa". It was cool hearing my 2 year old say, "I love God". It's good to know Collin's priorities (bear, God & Santa) are in line! ;)

Happy New Year!

I thought I would share our Christmas photos. Better late than never, I guess. Collin had the stomach bug on Christmas, but we were still able to celebrate. We thought that it might be something he ate, but after a day or so, Todd & I, my family, and my sister's boyfriend got sick as well.

Todd and I are so excited to be starting this year with a new job. It had been such a hard year with his job loss, my grandmother dying, and other stresses along the way. Thank you for all your prayers through this past year. It has been great having such good friends and support along the way. I pray that your families are blessed this year.

Collin got a bicycle (thanks Shea!)

Todd got video games. I got a Cricut Expression!!!!
