Caught up

Now I know 2 posts in one day, but after this, we are caught up!

Right after Collin's birthday we had two very special guests, Great Grandma and Uncle Carl.  What fun we had!

Isaiah was teaching Great Grandma all about his Leap Pad

We went to Little America Amusement park 2 times since it was so much fun!

the train ride is the BEST




I think we may have scarred Collin for life! 
 

 
Guess not!

The rollercoaster was another favorite!  It was SO jerky!!!!!



Collin rode the fire trucks like a boss!!!  He rang the bell many times!


And they loved the cars!


We waited in line forever to go down the tiger slide.  It was pretty cool, but it was a long wait!
 

Then of course we had to celebrate Collin's birthday with Great Grandma and Uncle Carl.  My Mom also came since she wasn't able to come the week before.



Playing games with Great Grandma

 
Collin helped me make chocolate chip cookies to send with them as they drove home.
 
We miss them and wish that we could spend every day with them!!!!

Happy Birthday

Wow, exactly one month late to the game.....

Well, one month ago it was Collin's birthday.  Since VBS started on the same day, Collin didn't get the full excitement of his day.  Don't get me wrong, we tried to squeeze it all in but....
After his nap we sang happy birthday and asked him to blow out the candle, but instead he threw up right after this picture. 
He ended up having a fever and cuddling for the rest of the afternoon.

We tried again the next day, and it went much better!!
 




He opened a few presents and was SO happy to FINALLY have a backpack like the big kids!  His face beamed!


 
 
We had a small party for him as well, after VBS ended.
 
The Planes Cake







We flew rubber band airplanes in the back yard



What a Sconnie boy!  He loves his beer. (it is empty)

Trying to get points by flying it through the poles.


Digging through the "clouds" (shaving cream) for coins.

Steve taught him how to clap your hands full of shaving cream.  He thought it was SO funny!


After the activities we headed inside for some in flight supper.
 

and cake!


Goodie bags....packed in real barf bags.
