my buddy Collin

Recently Collin says to me, "Mom, you used to be a Lady, but now you are my big Mama"  Oh really I say back to him.  and he says "you know you were a lady because you come from the place that Harry Potter was filmed where they talk funny (England)" 

And another one from this morning - He says "Is it my birthday yyyyeeeetttt?", I reply no you have at least a month left, in which he responds "but that's like fffooorrreeevvveerrrr......." I say I know buddy, I know...

Collin

My baby turned 5 today!! We are celebrating his birthday until his daddy comes home from training but I am so excited for him. Everyday for the past 2 weeks, he would wake, put both of his chubby fingers on my face and say "my birthday is today?", so when I woke him up this morning and told him today was his birthday, he was beyond himself with joy, he screamed and squeeled for a good 5 minutes!!

The cutest thing he did today was as we were sitting in church, he says with news bent down, I look like a 4 year and then he would pop his legs back to normal and say, now I"m a 5 year old... a friend suggested I should put him on a chair and say now your a 13 year old... but I don't think he would get the humor..

Snow Trails

Josh decided to take a few days off of work for the Holidays, and we decided to take the boys somewhere fun. At first we thought of going to the indoor water park, but at the last minute we found Snow Trails. This place is AWESOME, they have skiing and snow tubing. We took the boys tubing with Tanya (Josh's sister) and her family.

The hill is 1100 feet, you take a ramp up to the top of the hill, with you tube, and slid all the way, either by yourself or holding onto each others tube (which makes your trip down even faster). It was SO, so, so much fun, and only about an hour away, so we will go back soon!
