Who's got mail?

Collin does!

Thank you Meow! I love my Grrrrrrrrrr Tiger and EVERYONE had fun with the envelope.

A little Cooie moment

As Cooie, Cameron and I waited for Collin to come out of school a Ups truck pulled next to us. The driver helped the other ups worker load up a dolly full of boxes. The guy walked off with the dolly and boxes and the driver drove off to another location because he was in the way of the turnabout. As he's driving off, Cooie says "Those guys make a great team."

That little comment really made my day! So, I thought I would pass it along.

Baby, it's cold outside!!!

Collin LOVES making snow angels.
Cameron's first play in the snow.


Look Ma SNOW!

I'm frozen solid! I took the boys outside today, thinking it would be fun to play in the snow. I quickly realized this is not the kinda snow you happily play in. In minutes I could not feel my toes. The grim side of me turned to horrible thoughts of being stranded in the snow and getting frost bite. Ohhhhh man would that hurt! Or even worse, being stranded in the snow with your babies. I ran in the house with Cameron and got cozy warm, boy was I happy to have that option. I don't know if I can handle this cold winter weather. The boys love it and I do remember loving it as a kid. Heck, before I had kids I would pay lots of money to board down big hills. Now, I shiver and that thought. When the boys come inside they know they will get a hot cup of cocoa and marshmallows on top. I guess this will become our winter tradition. What is your family winter tradition old or new? We really want to know!

Rock-N-Roll

Or at least look the part! Cooie has become my little poser. He likes the rewards he gets for smileing for the camera. I'm liking the Crimson, how about you?

Bet you've never seen a Coo Frog

Until now!

I don't know anyone who does not like Elmo!

Since today is officially Collin's 5th Birthday, we are going to Elmo live. I am excited to experience this with the boys. It will be the first show they have seen. We will be taking Collin and Connor and Grammy will watch Cammy. It should be a fun family night!!!

Happy Birthday Collin! You are so special to mommy, words just don't express it enough!!!!!! One thing we share is our crooked pinkies!!! I will never forget when you were born, I looked you over and said....he has crooked pinkie fingers. Later, I noticed I too had them.

Collin celebrated his 5th Birthday today

As most of you know, Collin is 5 December 9Th! We celebrated today at home with a handful of his preschool friends. He chose Ben 10 as his decor, he can't get enough Ben 10. Collin had a really nice day and was grinning all day long. Collin looks forward to his Birthday all year long. I know, most kids do! But, Collin totes around the party magazine and talks about what kind of party he is going to have. What a sweetie!

Collin may just decide party planning is a career for him. He is very interested in all aspects of planning a party, everything got special mention right down to the forks! He said "this is totally awesome" about 50 times today.

Batman made a special appearance since Ben 1o was out of town. It was laughter from the moment he arrived until he left. This guy is good!
Cameron attempted balloon animals just like Batman! He has the technique down!He made Collin a pink sword!This is Emma! She is Collin's classmate. Emma and Collin are buddies.
Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Collin, Happy birthday to you!!!!!!

Happy Birthday my best buddy! You are the sweetest, kindest, most adorable 5 year old I know!!!!! I will never forget the day you were born.

Isn't it amazing?

How fast they grow and what blessings our children are!

Cooie likes to get all dressed up for the yard. He puts his hat, gloves and boots on, finds a stick and hits the poor helpless apple tree. He loves to explore!

I'm loosing my baby

It's officially started! My baby Cameron has started the switch from mommy to daddy. It happened with Collin and Connor and now Cameron. I know he still loves mommy, but he's discovered the fun of daddy. I guess if mommy wasn't cleaning, cooking or doing laundry all the time I would be fun too! Just kidding, I love all the domestic stuff and I still have time to play

Cameron was playing the Where's your nose game! He is learning so much, so fast!

He knows where his mouth is too! When I ask him "where's your eyes" he blinks.

Bowling brothers! After Turkey day, we headed over to the bowling hot spot...tee hee! Cooie had his first bowling experience and mommy managed 4 strikes. I don't know where that came from. I think I see bowling in my future. The boys had so much fun. Apparently, this was somewhat of a family tradition back in the day. When I met Tony actually the first Turkey day we had together we went bowling with his family. So, maybe we will resurrect this tradition.

My first baby and my new baby...

Collin is turning 5 on December 9th. He is getting so tall and growing out of all his clothes. It makes me sad. I know everyone says they grow fast, so enjoy these years. Even knowing how fast they grow, I still feel like I could do more to savor it! Add it to the list of things to accomplish! My new baby is of the Canon family and I am just so happy and thankful! Happy Turkey day everyone. Gobble Gobble!

It is COLD!

It's too cold to take the boys outside for photos! What's a mommy to do? I shiver just looking at these pics of Collin, his poor little chapped lips.

Sweet dreams little Cameron

Rascals

My little rascals are all getting so big! People will stop me in the stores and say one of two things. #1 ~ WOW, you really have your hands full!

#2 ~ Are they twins!

What????? They all look so different to me!

Fun in the sun!

I can't stop Cammy posting! Someone help me.

Cameron is growing so fast. It's hard because he is still a baby, but he acts like a big boy. This lil guy is so affectionate and always stops to give you a little love. He is starting to put words together. He also has a very big appetite for food. I am so used to Collin and Connor with the picky ways they have developed. Cameron will dive into anything I am eating. He even stole my guacamole burger from red robin. Wish I had pics of that mess!

Happy Birthday Tony!

Saturday was Tony's Birthday and we celebrated it like we always do, pizza and rainbow chip cake. It was a nice birthday!
