About Me

After 7 years of dating I finally married my high school sweetheart in Oct of 2009. I had always dreamed of marrying him and starting a family. On February 16, 2011 that dream came true when we welcomed our beautiful baby boy, Colin James, into our lives. I look forward to sharing our joy with you!

10 Months Old!


10 months... really??  Wow!!  Colin is getting to the point where he knows when he's doing something wrong, so he will look to see if I'm looking before doing it. He still wants to eat the dog food all the time and play in the water bowl.  He knows its wrong, but as soon as I take my eye off him, he makes a beeline over to the bowls!!  Plus, when I say no to him, he will either pout, or grin... haha

Accomplishments This Month

Learned how to play fetch with himself and Diesel!  (He throws the ball and either he or Diesel will go after it. lol)

A Trip to the North Pole!



Colin met Santa on Monday (12/12)!!  We went to the The Village at Fairview.  They have a virtual check in which allows you to check in online before you even leave your home.  We didn't have to do that because there wasn't a line on Monday at 1pm!  We walked right in and up to Santa! Colin did great!  He didn't actually see Santa until after we got all the pictures. Then when he noticed someone was holding him, he turned around and stared at him for a while.  Then he started to cry.  Santa was very nice and was very sweet with Colin.  We tried to go up there on Sunday so Kevin could be with us, but the virtual check in was down and when we arrived, there was a 3 hour line... 


After we saw Santa, my mom, Colin, and hung out in the coffee shop and had some coffee and a scone.  After that we went by the post office to send out our Christmas cards!!  I hope everyone likes them!!  :-)  Then we headed to my brothers apartment and while I was changing Colins diaper, he got up, crawled away, sat on the carpet, and peed!!  haha  Josh wasn't too happy about that, but I thought it was kinda funny.  He didn't just pee a little, he relieved his entire bladder!!

Josh melting down the outside of his candle... lol



He's got the WHOLE WORLD in his hands!


I cut him up a piece of chicken and then he grabbed this one and started eating it!


Colin and Gamma after seeing Santa.  NOW he smiles!
