Happy Halloween!

Colt had a great time last night trick-or-treating! We had our 3rd annual pizza and trick-or-treating with our friends Sara, Jerod, and James. He really got into it this year, and didn't want any help going up to the doors. We also went to a few pumpkin patches this fall. Colt liked the hay rides best I think, mainly because he could watch the tractor pulling us. He isn't much for carving pumpkins. He did not want to touch the "guts" but did enjoy eating the seeds later! He had the camera (turned the wrong way) while Mike and I were carving them. He would take a picture of us (which really was of his face) and say, "Good job Momma!" I think I had 50 pictures I later had to delete. We are trying to enjoy the nice fall weather before it turns cold. Colt is getting ready to move up to a new room at daycare. He tells me he doesn't want to, but I know he will love it. The 3's get to use the Exploratorium which is really cool so I know he will enjoy it. We are also working on recognizing letters and he mostly can recognize all of them. Although he had found that it is much more fun to haul the alphabet flash cards in this tractor rather than work on them with me. Next on our list is Colt's Birthday so stay tuned!

We have been having lots fun enjoy the last of summer. We had lots of fun in Fullerton at Grandma Rhonda's house. We also got to ride on a train and eat hot dogs (a perfect day in Colt's world). We are enjoying Rony Pony and will have even more fun when we get the saddle. Colt loves leading her around. Colt has learned the phrase "Maybe for my Birthday?" when we are shopping. He has now asked for nearly everything for his birthday. He has also learned how to lock doors. He wants to go to the bathroom all by himself and if I am not quick he is in there with the doors locked. I am not sure what I am going to do about that one.

We had a great trip to NE (minus the plane ride home)! Colt couldn't get enough of all of his cousins. We had a blast at the pool party that Papa and Grandma Pam threw for the grandkids. Colt had his first taste of homemade ice cream thanks to Papa, and he loved it of course. He got to ride with Grandpa Mo in the tractor and scoop rocks! He didn't want to stop. He loved checking the cows and riding the four wheeler too. It has been so hot here that we aren't able to play outside like we would like to. We have been keeping busy lining up the trains and tractor though.

Summer is off to a great start for the Richardson's. We have been to a couple of rodeos and to see Thomas the Tank Engine. Colt LOVED both. We had a great time traveling to OK with Uncle Jeff. Colt really like staying in the trailer. He also had a good time seeing and riding Thomas. He was a little confused why Thomas didn't talk though. I have more Thomas pics but I need to find them.
