Hammer Time

I am getting good using a hammer and I am safe too!

I also did some other stuff outside like help my mommy plant flowers (play in the dirt and find worms!). I like to dig deep holes so I can find lots of worms to play with.

Easter Sunday

Off to to church in my Sunday suit!














Daddy and I sure look handsome in our Sunday suits!

Easter Egg Hunt

Happy Easter!

I went on my neighborhood's Easter Egg Hunt again this year. I got lots of eggs with lots of candy. I played games and got to pet real bunnies!

That was a fun party mommy and daddy!

The Force is strong in this one...

I got a lot of neat presents for my birthday this year, but my daddy saved the best for last. I have my own Star Wars lightsaber! I am becoming a Star Wars fan just like him and now with my saber I pretend I am Master Yoda!

My Friends!

Here are some pics of my friends who came to my party. From school - Dennis, Padraig, Liam, and Fahari and some of my neighbors - Ethan and Max to come to celebrate.

Yummy!

After everyone sang to me and I blew out the candles I went right for my piece - the first piece of course! I don't have time for a fork and I love the way the frosting feels all over my hands, faces, and clothes! Do you like my new shirt? I got it from my Bestemor for my Birthday!

After cake....

• Some cake and several juice boxes later my friends and I headed outside. I thought we did enough damage to my house and thought I would show them my block.

Birthday Cake - Play my video!

Opening Presents...

I got a Thomas the train book and a Thomas the train that moves forwards, backwards when I blow the whistle. It is so cool - thank you Aunt Sonja, Uncle Scott, Kari, and Kirsti.
Oh and they gave me a turtle outfit, but I think my mommy was more excited about it:)

I found out I still have so more presents to open, but it was getting late and had to get my sleep - I had a big day... I can't wait!

Thanks Auntie Cindy and Uncle Bob!

I opened some gifts after my birthday party at school. I brought cupcakes and all my friends sang to me. I took lots of pictures too! This is the bag which my Auntie Cindy and Uncle Bob got me. I watched the DVD and read the book lots of times already!

Guess who is 3 Years Old Today!!

I ate not 1, not 2, but 3 bananas to celebrate that I am 3 years old today... I also was practicing because I have been saying I am 2 for so long I need to say "I'm Colin and I am 3 years old today" My new favorite phrase is "Yes sir, right on schedule"!

Hard at Work Again!

Did you know I still wash the dishes after supper every night for my mommy and daddy? I think I am the hardest working toddler on the block!

I am also very careful not to spill the water all over myself and the kitchen floor:)

It's that time again!

It got nice out so I found my rake and I am back working on the yard again! I did have to wear my penguin hat becuase my ears were a little cold, but I look so "cool" in it anyways. There is lots of work to be done and I am just the guy to do it!

It's been a couple months, how does this thing work again? I am so glad Spring is coming, aren't you?

Flying

After the racing I tried air travel. First I got in my space ship and set off to the moon!











Then I took a quick helicopter ride around the city to see if I could find any "bad guys" and save the day!
Just another day in the life of Colin Griffin!

This weekend I got to go to the mall. I love to go to the mall because there is lots of stuff to do. My mommy doesn't seem to mind either:) One of my favorite things to do is go on the rides. Here is me riding Roley with Bob the Builder.







Now I am a race car driver. When I turn the wheel to make turns the car moves and I really have to hang on tight!

My favorite comic book hero

I spent Sat. reading about my favorite comic book hero, Hellboy. He is a good guy even though he looks like a scary guy. He is big and red! Even though he looks funny, he is really nice and saves people from the bad guys.


I also watched one of my favorite movies, a cartoon with Hellboy. Mommy thinks it is scary but I like it! Maybe for my birthday I will get another one. I watch the one I have so much now, it might be nice to mix it up with something new.

Hmm?

Do you ever have a day where you feel like this? And when I have a bad day I just have to let it out. I let my mommy and daddy know exactly how I am feeling!

20,000 Visitors and counting!!

I celebrated 20,000 hits on my blog today by taking a nap in the 'big boy bed". Can you believe it's been almost 3 years and people have looked at me 20,000 times? Wow - I better keep coming up with bigger stuff every week.

I dd have an exciting weekend. I got to play with my friend Fahari and we went to a magic show called http://www.thegreatzucchini.com/. Wow was he funny!

Super Bowl Sunday

I practiced cheering at a basketball game a couple weeks ago for today's big game! We also went shopping for our snicky snacks to eat while we watch - I can't wait.. We also all got our haircuts at Cartoon Cuts this weekend - I watched Thomas the Train and then when mommy got hers we watched Sccoby Doo! - the Griffin family is looking good!

Movie Time

I am not sure if I told you, but I really like watching movies. My favorite movie is Star Wars. Kari made me popcorn and we all watched it together. My cousins are so good to me! Although after the 6th Star Wars movie they were ready for Sponge Bob, Shrek, Toy Story, or anything but!

Cheerleaders!!!

I wasn't so sure about all those cheerleaders at first..what was I thinking? Look at my cousin Kari - she is a Mattoon Wildcat cheerleader! I got to see my first basketball game ever and see Kari cheer them on - it was so exciting.

Fun with Cathy

Cathy came to visit me last weekend too! She got me a bob cat and also some dinosaurs! I have been studying them at school, but have some trouble remembering all their names.

We played with toys, watched movies, and danced!

Rough Weekend

I went away for MLK weekend to Mattoon and I sure did get tossed around alot. My mommy said we were getting away to relax? First by my cousins Kari and Kirsti which I expected, but then..
by Uncle Scott? It just takes him by himself to get me up in the air.. What do they think I am a sack of potatoes?

Padraig's Birthday Party

Lots of my friends are turning 3 so I have been going to lots of birthday partys. Everyone is having their parties at Gymboree and it sure it is fun! We get to play games and sing songs and run around and play with all my friends.

Here are my best friends Padraig and Dennis!
We had a Thomas the Train Cake, yummy!
When Dennis and I are together we have lots of fun. Sometimes at school we have a little too much fun an our teacher has to separate us.

Russell's Baptism

Christmas Eve Baptism

Look at baby Russell in the manger on Chirstmas Eve!

My Grandma and Grandpa

Now I have to share them with my cousin Russell. But it's ok because he is pretty cool and I know next summer we are going to have so much fun together at their cabin.










Me and my Gamma and Boppa had so much fun playing with my new toys (especially Boppa!) and reading my new books.

Snow!

So what was the best part of going to Wisconsin for Christmas? All the snow! I made a snowman for the very first time and I went sledding down a big hill at Aunt Cora and Uncle Jim's house! I got to wear boots and snow pants for the first time and that felt funny!

Matching PJ's!

Grandma got me and my cousin matching PJ's! We are going to make a great team once Russell can hold his head up!

Happy New Year

Happy 2008! Do you like the hat I made? I wanted to ring in the new year, but I couldn't hang on that long. But of course I did manage to wake up bright and early this morning to enjoy the new year:)
