HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Collin enjoyed trick or treating. On Wednesday, he got to go and visit a few houses and show off his cute costume. Then on Friday, we made the rounds in Essex and Shenandoah. The only thing he didn't like about the costume was the ears. He would not leave those things on. Oh well, he still looked cute without them.

Trick or Treating is definitely hard work!!

Trip to Essex

This past weekend we took a trip to see Grandma June and Grandpa Larry. Bert did some hunting, I did some shopping, and Collin got to hang out with all of his cousins. He had a great time and even started to cry when they had to leave. The weekend couldn't have been more beautiful so we took advantage of getting outside as much as possible.

Race for the Cure

I'm a little slow getting the blog updated but on October 25th Collin and I walked in the Race for the Cure in Des Moines. Collin did very well during our 5K walk. He fell asleep at the start of the race and woke up at the end. I was very thankful since he doesn't have a sit in his butt. We stayed with Josh, Melissa and Olivia all weekend. Collin and Olivia had a good time playing.

MMMM Cookies

Bert came home from work yesterday with a present from Collin's surrogate grandma Mary. I think he definitely has my sweet tooth for cookies. Thank you grandma Mary for the yummy cookie.

Fun with the Cass'

This past weekend we drove to Byron, IL to see our friends Molly, Jesse and Morgan. The weekend couldn't have been more beautiful. We took the kids to a pumpkin patch/apple orchard/ petting zoo. The kids had a good time running around and we all enjoyed the warm homemade donuts. We also got to enjoy celebrating Morgan's first birthday.

Fun with our new toys

Collin received a lot of fun toys from family and friends for his first birthday. It is so much fun to watch him play with everything. He is doing new things daily and I have captured a few funny and cute moments on video and pictures.

Prior to Collin's birthday, he started dive bombing Vegas' bed. So for his birthday, he got a bean bag. He loves to dive face first into it.

Collin is multi talented. He can ride um cowboy while hanging on to the remote. Heaven forbid he drop the remote.

First Iowa State Football Game

Collin attended his first Iowa State football game on Saturday. It was a beautiful day for tailgating and football. He did very well until the end of the third quarter and then we had to leave for a little nap. He enjoyed the people watching and all the loud music. Unfortunately, the Clones couldn't pull off the victory.

Tailgating made me thirsty
