Painting.

After the craziness of Hurricane Irene, we were stuck inside all day.  So... we painted!  It was a mess - but we had fun!

August 26

Watching Daddy.

Colin and Suzi both love to look outside... especially if Daddy is out there.

August 25

Love these two.

I love when I am in one room and these two are in another room, and I hear them laughing and playing!  Colin is just so much fun!

August 24

Handsome.

Colin and I had fun hanging out in the backyard while Suzi ran around with her purple ball.

August 23

Look what I found.

While I was brushing my teeth this morning, Colin went exploring...
He found the toilet paper, and unrolled the entire thing.

And he is 11 months old today.  I can't decide if that makes me happy or sad!  Go here to see his 11 month picture.

Roll.

Suzi just L.O.V.E.S her papertowel rolls!  She won't let them out of her sight!  I love this dog so much!
(Isn't it funny that most of the pictures of Suzi she is sleeping somewhere?!  haha)

August 21

Mountain biking.

Garet and I were able to get away and go to the U.S. Whitewater Center again - we got to do some mountain biking!  I was so nervous that I would have forgotten how to ride a bike, but nope!  It was awesome!  I might have to get one of my own!

Baby shower.

The reason we were in Charlotte was for a baby shower!  We showered Kailey and baby Morgan!  My niece is due on October 1!  I am so excited to meet that sweet little girl!

August 19

Exploring.

Colin is loving his freedom!  He is getting around everywhere - definitely keeping me on my toes!

August 18

Spying.

Colin and I had just got to Charlotte and I was unpacking... it was really quiet so I went to see where everyone was.  Grandmama and Papaw were swinging Colin in his swing =)

Love.

I had a wonderful birthday with my boys! (and Suzi!) 

August 16

Finger paints.

I made some all natural finger paints for Colin.

August 15

Bowling.

We randomly decided to check out the bowling alley near our house.  And we were the only ones bowling =)  Colin was a little scared at first by the noise, but he got use to it and cheered us on!

August 14

Shaking the Sprite.

Colin found a way to keep himself occupied =)  Hope they weren't planning on drinking that can anytime soon!

Good night Daddy.

We took a trip to hang out with my cousin Lindsay for the night!  Anytime we are away from Garet at night, I send him a good night picture.

Sweet dreams.

Once Colin is asleep, Suzi finds a place to finally relax!

August 11

Having fun playing.

After dinner Garet and Colin have a little alone time playing before bath and bed.  I tried to sneak up on them to take a picture... looks like I was spotted!

August 10

Breakfast.

Colin has started dropping his food  on the floor when he is finished eating.  This morning it was Cherrios. 

August 9

Grandparents.

I wish this picture was more clear!  We had fun with my parents, it was really nice having them here! 

August 8

Visiting with cousin Morgan.

We met up with Kailey in Wilmington to take some pictures. 

August 7

Look what I can do.

Yup.  Colin is climbing the stairs.  Time to get another baby gate!

August 6

My little man.

Garet and I went out to dinner for Garet's work, and my parents got to babysit.  I had to soak up every drop before we left.

August 5

Watching daddy.

Garet was spraying off the back deck, and Colin was very interested! 

August 4

Suzi love.

It was time for Suzi to get some love on this blog :)
I love this dog

August 3

Sharing.

Colin really likes to share... his food, toys, random little pieces of dirt he finds on the floor, sticks on the beach...
and yes, that is peas in his hair and blueberry on his face.

August 2

Looking out from the pier.

We left the beach today, but before we did we went out to lunch and then went out on the pier. 

August 1

New toy.

Colin and I went to the beach to hang out with my mom and aunt!  When we got there, there was a new toy waiting for Colin!  He loved it!
