Need good legal advice

If you are in Iowa City or the area, and need a good lawyer, I would recommend checking out Mark Thompson, Iowa City Attorney at Law. He is a Luther College grad like my parents, and was a cross country runner too (I think he was faster than my daddy). He handles all sorts of law issues, like criminals and DUI and stuff.

What did I get from Santa?

I bet you are all wondering what Santa brought me? A Bob the Builder Tool Bench! Now I fit in with all the boys! I can build stuff and fix things just like Grandpa, Daddy, and Uncle Jim! Stay tuned for my next big project - "Can we build it?, yes we can!"
While the rest of my team is resting I am still hard at work. I am Colin the Builder!

All of us at the Dillin's...

with one more addition....baby Russell!

Santa Claus!

Santa Claus came and brought me a sled and some toys! He knew my name and told me I had been a good boy...wow I guess he does know?

How did Santa know that I would be in Wisconsin visiting my new baby cousin Russell? He brought Russell some neat toys and of course I helped him open them.

Merry Christmas!!!

Cool Guy

My wish finally came true. On Sunday I got to wear my PJ's ALL day. Everyday I ask and everyday they come off and I have to wear clothes. Sunday it was windy, cold, and rainy, and mommy wasn't feeling good so we stayed in our PJ's, watched movies, and just hung around all day. It was great! Do you like my new sunglasses? I got the from my friend Madison. I went to her birthday party on Saturday and got lots of neat stuff!

Cleaning up the leaves

All of the trees dumped their leaves and I got to help clean them up, but of course I also had fun playing in them!

A visit from Bestefar!

Bestefar is here visiting us on this cold weekend in DC. He came to do some sightseeing and see what I am up to. He watched some of my favorie movies: Cars and The Incredibles for the first time. I also showed him all my cars, trucks, and legos.

I have a new cousin!

I found out today I have a new cousin, and he is a little boy like me! His name is RJ, and he is going to be fun to play with when we get older. The only RJ I know right now is the raccoon from the movie "Over the Hedge" so I can't wait to see this guy in person in a few weeks!

Thanksgiving Weekend

Thanksgiving Day was warm and sunny so we had to go outside to play! The leaves were everywhere so I had to jump and play in them.






I wasn't feeling the best so I decided just to take a nice walk instead of my usual run around the park.

Who's the Boss?

That's right, ME! I had fun telling my cousins what to do..

Dancing

So what is a trip to Aunt Sonja's house without some dancing! Of course I always learn some new moves from Kari the dancer and Kirsti the cheerleader. I even got to see Kirsti compete in a competition - she was good! Kari showed me her new moves from her latest dance she has been practicing - wow!
Did you check out the new Cars PJ's they got me?

Watch out Kirsti I have been practicing! Kirsti and I got up the earliest so got a head start in the morning and played some games. Her favorite is Happy Feet. I have never played, but I liked watching the penguins dance around. We have the same kind of PJ"s on!!

Weekend in Mattoon

This weekend I went to visit Aunt Sonja, Uncle Scott, Kari, and Kirsti. We had so much fun - I can't wait to show you what we did besides play with all their neat toys!

Me and Bob

I also had some time to get Bob and his team to do some work around their shelter. I know how to sing the whole Bob the Builder song now!

Weekend Fun

This weekend was pretty cold in DC so I didn't last too long outside. I went into my toy box and found some toys of my Mommy's. This is called an Etch-E-Sketch. I am getting pretty good at it!



I also watched some TV - my favorite is Little Einstein's Airplane movie and Jungle Book - the monkeys are my favorite part. I watch them over and over.

XBOX

OF COURSE Daddy and I found some time to play some XBOX. I am getting better and better. I think my favorite is baseball and the racing game.

Hilloween

Halloween in my neighborhood is called "Hilloween." Wow is it fun. There were kids like me everywhere dressed up in their costumes. This house was my favorite - it had music, lights, and lots of scary creatures. I wasn't scared though - I waited in line to get my candy!


Then we went to Eastern Market where there were horse driven hay rides. Here mommy and I are getting a ride with all the other kids.

Is this where the candy is?

I went Trick or Treating at my friend Max's House aka "Red Baron" he really liked the sound my candy wrappers made and my frog eyes! This was his first Halloween so I was filling him in on how great this day is because you get to dress up and get candy!
I went to my nieghbor Bonnie's house and she gave me lots of goodies. I was her first trick or treater! I love her kitty cat - MEOW!

Time to Trick or Treat!

So did you figure it out, ribbit! I hopped my way down the street saying Trick or Treat and got lots of candy! Yummy, did you know that my favorite is M&M's?
Here I go down the street....RIBBIT!

Happy Halloween!

Said the Froggy to the M&M's!

Can You Guess My Costume?

Gettin ready for Halloween!

I am getting ready for Halloween! I have picked out my costume, bought candy, and picked out the treats I am going to bring to school. I get to dress up all day in my costume! Can you guess what I am going to be?

Another weekend...

with BOB! Yes, it was a nice weekend in DC so of course I got a lot of work done around the house.
It's got to be done and I am just the boy to do it! "can we fix it, yes we can"

Bestemor

I got to play with my Bestemor over the weekend. I showed her all I was up to. She couldn't believe how much I knew about cars, trucks, and caterpillar's! She is lucky that she has me to show her the ropes!

Me and Danny

This weekend I got to play with Danny. We did lots of cool stuff, but I have never carved a pumpkin before! Here is us with our pumpkins. The big pumpkin is all the leaves we raked (played in) for Aunt Donna!

Danny's park

We of course went to Danny's park - wow was it big and had lots of neat stuff.


Look at all those steps I had to climb to get up there. He also had a cool car to ride!

Reading with my Grandma

Grandma and Grandpa

My grandma and grandpa drove from Georgia this weekend to see me! I had not seen them since we were at the cabin so I was so excited that they were staying at my house and sleeping in my basement.



I had so much to tell them about what I have been learning in school and what has been going on in my neighborhood. I stayed home from school yesterday and we got to spend the whole day together!

I love to do dishes!

Little Handyman

I like to help my daddy by using my Bob The Builder tools and fix up stuff around the house! I am just like my daddy and grandpa!

Another Baseball Game

Last night I saw the baseball game with mommy and daddy. This time, we went with all of the people daddy work with 'cause it was "Peace Corps Night!" It was a fun game, and the Nats won! Maybe they will win more games next year?

The best part is that I got to eat lots of snacks. As you can see, I really liked the popcorn! I am sure glad that daddy works with cool people that like popcorn too and share it with me!
