colin's birthday pix

i had some pictures of colin taken for his first birthday about six months ago and finally got them back! they are too cute so i had to share!

sleeping and playing the dirt

here is a little bit of what we have been doing lately...

watching cartoons



taking naps



and playing in the dirt!!!
our back yard won't be done for another couple of weeks so until then colin gets to play in the dirt (lucky me)






so proud of how dirty he is :)

and a dirty hiney too!



this is our beautiful view!! we love it!

new house

we are offically moved in! we have been here about a week now so hopefully I will have some pics up for you sometime soon. besides all the the stuff we had to move everyting went pretty well. (it is amazing how much crap you can accumulate in 3 years!) colin and leo are adjusting great and love the house too! i feel like it is taking me FOREVER to get anything unpacked because i have a toddler who never stops moving, but we are getting there! we live in the back of a quiet little neighborhood with some great views! one of our favorite things about our new house is our new neighborhood is our neighbors..josh's brother zach and his wife holly live right next door!

we're moving today!

if you don't see me for a while it's because i'm unpacking a million boxes!

san diego

last weekend my parent took us all to san diego. we packed a lot into just a few days. it was such a fun trip!
we got in thursday night at about 11pm. colin slept most of the way in the car but he was sooo tired when we got there.



since colin has been obsessed with everything fish, i have been dying to take him to sea world. of course he LOVED it!


watching shamu!

trying on aunt kelly's silly glasses ;)


the shark encounter!


one of the great things about sea world is they have "sesame street bay of play". it is basically a whole sesame street part of the park with rides and play areas just for little kids!
colin got to go on his first ride! i think he liked it but he had a death grip on me the whole time!


colin and mama on elmo's flying fish!


colin's favorite was a big play area where he could just run (of course)! he was jumping, running, falling down on purpose, and climbing on stuff...



colin had a collision with a BIG kid. they were both running and not watching where they were going :( colin's whole cheek was red for the rest of the day and he had a little scratch too. so, for the rest of the trip he has a scratch on his cheek.




penguins!


pacific beach

colin found a broken shovel and of course turned it into a baseball bat.







swimming at the hotel!




my sisters bought colin these sun glasses! they are too cute and too cool!


my favorite restaurant mmmmmmmmmm



our last day we went to balboa park. colin got to go on the carousel and the mini train!


we got to sit next to a lion on the train!


after his bath ;)


there was so much we wanted to do, we can't wait to go back!!
