This year Colin's birthday landed on the same day as the monthly family party. So the night before we had cake and ice cream and let him open most of his presents.
Like my other boys Colin has been slow to pick up speech and while he did speak short sentences and a handful of words it was sometimes unclear. But it seemed like over night it all came together and now he repeats everything you say and clearly lets you know everything he does, wants, and hears. I love it!
Colin loves cars especially Blaze and the Monster Machines. He got a couple Blaze books and still wants to read all of them multiple times a day. He loves the outdoors and would stay outside all day if I let him. He finally got a new balance bike on his birthday and loves to ride it every morning to take his brothers to school. He is almost always happy but will let you know he is mad by running off to his bedroom and putting him self down for a nap. Which is the funniest and the best, win-win for me. He is still super picky about food and always knows what he wants to eat and will refuse everything else. He still does not like to try anything new and sticks to the textures he is most familiar with. His favorites being Pizza and Eggo waffles. He still will only let mom put him to bed and loves going on car rides to the store. We sure love him!!!

Labor Day Weekend
For the final weekend of summer we took the boat and headed to the cabin for a few days. we spent Saturday and Monday on the lake and Sunday we relaxed around the cabin. Everyone had a great time.
Saturday tubing with cousins.
Sunday Nathan asked grandpa to take him fishing. So in the evening after dinner Dave and grandpa took a group of kids to Pinecrest to fish. Nathan was one happy kid when he actually caught a fish.
Monday morning we headed back to New Melones for another full day on the lake. Everyone had a great time. And Nathan even decided that he wanted to give surfing a try. Cousin Daniel was able to get up with him and he liked it so much he wanted to try by himself. He didn't quite get it this time, but we now have a goal for next summer.
