Christmas and Snow

We had a wonderful Christmas in NE with all of my family. Colt of course loved playing with all of his cousins. It was so nice to have everyone together, it had been a really long time. We have since been trying to keep warm and it was finally "warm" enough to get outside this morning to play in the snow. Colt didn't want to touch it but he sure had fun walking in it and trying to drive his tractor in it. He couldn't understand why I wouldn't take him for a ride on the lawnmower though.

The Holidays!

We had a great time at Aunt Kathy's for Thanksgiving. The food was wonderful and the company was great. Colt had all of the attention, or course, and loved every minute of it. He also enjoyed staying at Grandma Rhonda's too. He loved playing with Mike's old tractors and the barn that Ronald built. He made Mike take him on the 4 wheeler and the tractor many times. He couldn't get enough of Uncle Jeff and was sad when we had to leave. He loved decorating gingerbread men with Grandma, and made a HUGE mess! He really liked the sprinkles.

We cut down a tree a couple of nights ago and Colt loved it. Well, he loved riding on the hay ride to get the tree. He was terrified of Santa and wouldn't get within 5 feet of him. It was a really fun time and a beautiful place. We will for sure go back next year.

Colt is fun as always and keeping me busy. Some days he insists on wearing a "cape." That is what he has on in the picture of him at the table. He also loves tape. He makes me tape trailers together and tractors together so he can pull them around.

We are looking forward to seeing my family for Christmas. Colt keeps talking about Karsen! He can't wait.

Happy 2nd Birthday Colt!

Colt had a great birthday party this weekend. The weather was perfect. He spent most of his time outside on his new tractor. He is absolutely in love with it. He has already figured out how to drive it quite well. He really got into opening his presents this year, I can't wait to see what he does at Christmas. His cousin Karsen came to his party and he wouldn't let her out of his sight. He also had so much fun with his Papa, Grandma Pam, Grandpa Kurt, and Uncle Feff (as Colt calls him.) I made his tractor cake for him and I don't know if I will do that again. It turned out pretty good though. I will have more pictures to come.

I also put up a few pictures from Halloween. Colt went trick or treating with his friend James again this year and had a ball. He loved riding in the truck again.

Fall!

We went to another pumpkin patch this morning and boy did we freeze! Colt sure didn't seem to mind it. He loved the animals, especially the baby pigs and chicks! We went with Geema and Grandpa Mo and had a great time. Colt also got an early birthday present from Grandma Rhonda, a Ford pickup and horse trailer. He is so in love with it that he wouldn't eat dinner unless it was at the table with him. We also had to take it with us to the pumpkin patch.

I put a ton of pics up because they are all so cute and I couldn't narrow them down. Colt was so lucky to have Papa and Grandma Pam come and stay for a few days. He had so much fun. The first thing he said every morning was, "Papa!" We went to a pumpkin patch and Colt loved it. He was able to take a hay rack hide to the pumpkin patch (he only cared about the tractor that was pulling us). He also got to see lots of animals and lots of pumpkins. Grandma Pam bought him a tractor while we were there and he hasn't put it down since. It even goes into the bath tub with him each night.

Colt continues to amaze us every day with how much he knows. He can count to five, and is getting better at knowing his colors. He loves to read books and we read the same one over and over every day. He even has his favorite parts memorized and reads with me. We are still somewhat working on potty training. Colt will go at least once a day, but it totally depends on his mood beyond that.
