Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter weekend. We went to Baldwin City, KS to ride the Easter train on Saturday morning. Colt LOVED it. We rode the train and then got off and had a Easter egg hunt. He wasn't too into the hunt, but he did get a few eggs. He really enjoyed the candy inside the eggs on our train ride back. The Easter Bunny was in the last passenger car and we got to walk back and see him. As you can see from the picture Colt did not like the Easter Bunny. We enjoyed a great Easter Sunday church service at a new church and look forward to going back. Colt was very well behaved, which surprised us. We had a good dinner and then the Easter Bunny left a few eggs in our lawn. Colt saw them and then said, "No I ride my tractor," and off he went to ride his tractor. He had no interest at all. Mike and I sure enjoyed the candy for him!

Sorry!

I know that it has been forever since I have updated so that is why I chose sorry for the title. We have been busy here, not sure with what, but really busy. Colt and I still go to our Gymboree class once a week and have recently moved up to the level 6 class. He really enjoys playing there. We have had a couple of play dates and even have a few more already scheduled. We have been trying to get outside (when it isn't raining) so that Colt can practice his driving on his tractor. Mike taught him how to go in reverse so now he will drive right up to a tree so that he can go backwards. He is really getting good at it. He is really silly these days and is just so much fun. We spend most of our time playing with either the trains or the tractors.

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.
