happy birthday widdle collin!
sorry this is sideways and grayscale- me + technology = you get what you get sometimes :)


i took this on nov. 2nd- his real birthday. y'all, i could eat that baby up!

happy birthday to collin!

we had collin's 2nd birthday party on Oct. 29th. he's still talking about it so i think he had a good time!

poor buddy didn't want to come inside to eat cake or blow out his candles (of course!) but we made him because we're mean like that. he kinda warmed up after we started singing.

just a few of our friends and family who came

he really got into opening his gifts this year once he figured out there was cool stuff inside. he got lots of trucks, motorcycles and cars, a new backpack, a spiffy coat, a "cars 2" potty, and his favorite- an electric blue low-ridin' pimped out tricycle.


the we all headed out to the pumpkin patch

you KNOW there was no way the birthday boy was riding in the hayride (see the post where i took him to the pumpkin patch if you're confused :)


i love this face. he makes it all the time when he's excited.

happy birthday my little 2 year old! we love you!

meredith's fourth birthday

these are a little out of order- oh well. meredith is exactly a year and seven days younger than cdawg, so her birthday always falls the week after caleb's. much to his delight she decided to have her party at pump-it-up, so we were there two weekends in a row. c thinks EVERY party should be at "the jumpy place" as he calls it.

sweet mallory was giving collin some sugar. hmmm... arranged marriage?

poor collin got an unfortunate hair cut. his daddy says he looks like lloyd off of "dumb and dumber". y'all don't laugh! he and uncle chunk kept calling him that over easter when they thought i couldn't hear. y'all just wait, little buff will get his revenge i'm sure.

i wasn't super crazy about cdawg's haircut either, but he wears a hat all the time so i guess it doesn't matter. we love our hairdresser, guess she was just having an off day.

anyway, enough about hair. the boys had a super time at mere mere's party. we even went with her family to cock of the walk later, and i didn't take any pictures. i was too scared of the very real and not me over-reacting fear of one of them falling into the water. love that place's food-but i wish they had some guardrails! just sayin'.

"holy bat-party cdawg is FIVE!"

this cake was fabulous, and kind of sentimental too. keith's mom bought this cake pan for his fifth birthday- way back in 1980. it even says 1977 on the pan! i took it to my friend betsy and she did an awesome job. i love the vintage batman face and breastplate- so cool!

happy big number FIVE cman!


his last present of the day was from us: a red rider bb gun!
