Dad's Breakfast

Every year Colin's preschool has a Dad's breakfast. All the dads are invited for a breakfast on Saturday morning so that can get more acquainted with their child's school. They had breakfast, the kids sang a song and then they played....lots and lots of playing! Colin was shy at first, but then warmed up really fast...especially when they started to play! Colin had a wonderful time and he was so excited to have his Daddy at school with him! Brian had a wonderful time as well and he was so glad he was able to go.

Veteran's Day

For Veteran's Day we headed down to Albany to watch Brian in the Veteran's Day parade. I wasn't sure how Colin was going to do since he is not a fan of loud noises, but he did pretty good. The parade started out with hundreds of motorcycle riders, which Colin loved, so that got him interested in watching the rest of the parade. We didn't stay for the entire parade, but we did stay long enough to see Brian which was the most important part! We are all so very proud of him for his service to our country!

No feet on the dinner table!!

Rock Concert!

The other night Brian was watching the Stone Temple Pilots perform a concert on tv. Colin absolutely LOVED it and started performing as well. It was soooo funny to see him "getting down" with the concert. Enjoy the video and pictures!

Halloween Highlights

For Halloween we went down to Andria and Doug's house and did trick-or-treating with them. My parents came over as well. Colin was Bob The Builder and Kendal was a bumblebee. Owen was a skateboarder and his friend Hunter was a bike rider who crashed. Everyone had a great time and we got more than enough candy. I have been eating most of it. Yikes! Probably want to slow down on that.

Cousin Time!

Last weekend I watched Owen, Colin and Kendal while Brian and Doug were hunting and Andria went to the OSU game. The boys played sooo good together and Kendal and I just hung out and relaxed. We all were wearing our Beaver shirts to show our Beaver pride. It was such a wonderful day!

Pumpkin Carving

This was Colin's first year of carving pumpkins. He was probably old enough last year, but since Brian was in Iraq, I just skipped it. But since Brian is home this year, we decided to carve pumpkins! We picked out our pumpkins and started to carve them. Well, I should say Brian started to carve them. It was pretty funny. Kendal would have loved to get her hands on the pumpkin if we would have let her. Colin ran around and kept screaming "it's going to be scary!" He was very excited to have a scary pumpkin. When we asked him if he wanted to dig out the inside of the pumpkin he said "no, I'm just a little bit tired." So basically Brian carved a really cool pumpkin and we all watched. It was really fun and we can't wait for Brian, I mean us do to it again next year!!
