Successful Opening Day

Collin helping to trim Ryan's hair. Can't wait for the beard to go!!! Ryan and his nine point opening day. He shot him the first hour he was out in the woods, then called us so that Collin could be part of dragging/gutting. Collin loved it! He was giggling and so proud of daddy's deer.

What a proud face!

What a pair!

Pumpkins and Halloween

Collin and I "slopping" eachother with pumpkin slime!! EWW!

Ryan and Collin scooping out the slop

My lil Pumpkins

Caiden with his happy face pumpkin...

Collin requested a "mean" face. The pumpkins match the boys personalities especially when collin goes without a nap. ;)

Caiden thought he was so big sitting next to his brother with his own sippy cup.

The ultrasound girls, Amanda and Jacquelyne made collin a big treat bag with toys and lots of candy including FUN DIP (the stick you dip in pure sugar). Can't wait till that baby is due in June Amanda! Collin was a bug and this year was such a rush when i got out of work, so Ryan got Collin ready and I got Caiden ready and we ran out the door. I knew his costume didn't look quite right but I didn't think much of it because we had lots of stops to make! Well his costume was on backwards!!!! The zipper goes in the back... oh well he still was cute.

Caiden and great great great Aunt sally

Pumpkin patch

There is a little pumpkin patch about 5 mins from our house, it is a great place to go for an hour to get out of the house and have some cider and fresh donuts. Inside there are lots of Thomas the Trains set up on big train tables that Collin loves to play with and outside are real tractors to climb on and pretend to be a farmer.

Caiden so precious after his bath!
Caiden relaxing before Collin decides to use him as his patient.

The boys love taking baths together. I love it too, it is quality time where both the boys are smiling and having a blast together.


My parents had a celebration dinner for my sister and me passing our boards. I am now a registered diagnostic medical sonographer (RDMS) and Maegan is a Licensed Nurse (LPN). We had a delicous dinner, lots of drinks and our families all together. Both my grandparents were there, our parents, paul's parents and Andrea.

boys trying to dig in!!!

Mardi Gras was this weekend in Mt. Pleasant. They had a big parade, face painting, and live music downtown. Collin really loved getting candy thrown at him and racing to get it before the other kids. Although I think Paul and Ryan had more fun than the boys.
