First Day of Kindergarten & Preschool!

Walking all together to school!  It was a blustery day in the morning!

Reading in the tub in his classroom.  

Colin went to his first day of preschool the following day! My boys are growing up!

Home Haircuts

Philip gave Gavin a haircut and I gave Colin his!  

Look at that hair!

The "before."

The "after."

Colin!

Colin RAN home from picking up Gavin, it was just under half a mile.  Look at his RED cheeks!

We went to a friend's birthday party, here is pirate Colin!

Super hero Colin has made his appearance!

His first pinata!

Getting himself dressed...

Oooh, a carrot from our garden in Jessica's backyard.

Colin helping us move!  I only had my camera phone, look at him streak by, literally!

Playing at a friend's house.

Checking out the carrot...

He tried it!!!

Love the messy blue face!  His cheeks look enormous here!

Sometimes I let Colin "help" me in hang man-- this time he happened to spell out a real word!!!!

We were in Lowe's and I heard Colin say, "O, P, I."  I looked around and there was this sign.  He got the first letters right.  

I am sure his physical therapists wouldn't approve, but Colin likes to slide down the stairs on his behind!

Changed his diaper on the grass at the park and he did this on his own!

Nap time.  

Piano time!  Singing and playing at the same time!

Gavin didn't want all of his ice cream, so he gave it to Colin, this boy was in HEAVEN!

Showing me Gavin's jewel, looking so cool in daddy's glasses.

Buried in sand!

Love the messy face!

One Friday Night

My mom, aka Yellow Haired Grandma, took Gavin for a sleepover the for the first time! My baby's growing up!

Colin and I made pizza for dinner after Gavin left.

Watch the video to see what he said he was making at first!

Randomness

We ate fish tacos from a place Philip had eaten at from work.  Here Colin is eating applesauce from the kids' meal.  Thought the spoon was too funny!

I have been having fun with my new phone!  I love a lot of the features it has to keep me organized and productive.  Here is a checklist you can make of things you want to get done.  You can either add it to the "list" (which I do for grocery items or other items to be bought) or by date.  It will also remind you to do them  at a certain time and the best part is you can check them off your list!!!

Here is my locked screen.  It's a picture of a waterfall from when I went to Sarah's house. The screen shot is a fun feature on the phone.  

Philip found an awesome running program for me to use to track my running.  This was the test run I did!  It maps your run through the GPS on your telephone as well as tells you how far you have run and at what pace you are currently running.  (Then give the average speed of your run when you are done.) The GPS seems almost creepy accurate; I was running towards the outside of a 1/4 mile high school track and it told me that I had already run a mile with one curve to go to make four laps.  It also maps out segments of your run and you can compare to other runners who have gone the same segments.  Also if you run the same path it will tell you when you have done a personal record.  You can download the app for free, it's called Strava Run, or you can sign up online at http://www.strava.com/ if you want to sync it to another GPS device like a Garmin.  They also do cycling if that's your thing.

Silly Colin!

I was watching NHK (Japanese television) with the kids.  They were showing clips their other programs when a Japanese woman came on the screen.  Colin said, "Mommy." Then a different program clip came on with a Japanese man.  Colin then said, "Daddy."  Not sure what that is about!

Slip of the tongue!

Gavin, holding up the red and black exercise wheel we have in the house said, "What is this?"  I said, "It's for working out."  He replied, "Is it for X-Men size?" (Say it out loud quickly-- exercise.)

Colin's First Haircut!!!

Here is our curly-q boy!  

He sat in a boat for the cut!

He was extremely good--no crying!

She even used the clippers!

Colin got a certificate and the orange envelope has a few of his curls!

Afterward, we went to the park where they ate their lollipop treats!

Here is Gavin's new look!

Making music!

Climbing high!

Spider baby!

Spider man and spider boy!

Look how high they are!

Going down!

I think they had a good time!!!
