Bye Bye Pacifier

It was a sad, yet joyous day at our house on November 28th.

Our little Collin waved goodbye to his much-loved pacifier (aka~pluggy).

Off to the moon they go!

He seems to be adjusting well to the big boy changes.

He occasionally says he can see his pluggy at the moon.
I can honsestly say there are days where I wish that plug would reappear :-)

Halloween 2010

My Little Gobblins all dressed up!

"Trick or Treating" the neighborhood.

Their little legs got tired of all the walking. They found this great little cement spot and took a break...which also turned out to be a great time for a picture.

~Happy Halloween 2010~

Carving Out Pumpkins

We decided to add a little Halloween decor to our front porch this year.

Carson helped with the ooey-gooey mess while Collin watched in pure disgust. Evidently, messiness is not his thing...yet!

We proudly lit our pumpkin and watched it glow in the darkness that night.

Dozer was quite disappointed that he did not get included in the pumpkin viewing with rest of the family.
However, his face looks like that all the time so I'm unsure of whether he was truly disappointed!

My Little Pumpkins

The sun barely made its appearance today, but that didn't stop us from heading to a nearby pumpkin patch for some fun with the Rutt family.

Collin liked the corn, but not enough to get down and play in it!

The One Hare Saloon

(The bunny is hiding inside!)

We ran through the corn maze as quick as we could!

And spead down the zip line several times!

It was a great day to spend several hours at the pumpkin patch playing, visiting with friends, laughing, and enjoying snacks (fried oreos!).

Arriving May 2011

Potty Training Success!

Collin Wyatt has decided it's time for him to become a big boy! Even if I don't approve of him growing up, I do approve of NO MORE DIAPERS! He's had a very successful week (with lots of help from daycare) and I think it's safe to say he's on the road to being a big boy!

Kindergarten

Five years ago I never imagined that the time would go so fast. I never imagined that his cute little grin would bring me so much joy. I never imagined that his endless chatter would drive me crazy in a good & bad way. And, I never imagined that I'd be one of those mom's who cried as they sent their baby to Kindergarten.
The day came and I told myself that he'd be fine (and he was!). But, as I saw the 3 most important boys in my life walking towards those Kindergarten doors...I couldn't help but shed a tear. And a few more tears came later as Brett grabbed my hand in comfort when we walked away from our little Kindergartner.
