Trick or Treat!

Halloween just might be Colter's favorite holiday! In his 3 short years of Halloween he has perfected trick or treating, being scary, and loves in his own words anything "spooky!"

This year our friend's Christy, Chad, and Olivia went trick or treating with us...what fun! My "Chad" had to miss this Halloween due to work and we sure missed him. This year Colter was a gorilla and Olivia was a witch! They had the best time trick or treating and we got a kick out of watching them. Chad had the duty of pulling the wagon (thanks again) and Christy and I supervised the trick or treating. The kids were so funny, they ran to the doors like pros, one ringing the doorbell and the other knocking, and most of the time they peeked through the windows! One house they even decided to open the door and walk in on their own, needless to say we don't have shy kids. After over an hour of trick or treating and buckets full of candy we called it a night. Colter's first words this morning were "mom is it still Halloween?"

The GORILLA

Every year since Colter was born I have taken pictures of him on this bench with this witch and vampire. Here is his first Halloween just a month old....wow does time fly!

He LOVES his pumpkins that he picked out at the Pumpkin Patch


Hanging out waiting for the Hewitt's to come over...

Olivia the Witch and Colter the Gorilla

Cuties!

Pure Sweetness!

I love the look on Olivia's face! Ugh...come on already....

Papa Schoch stopped by to see his little Gorilla!

She's just to pretty to be a witch!

Loaded up and ready to go!

What's the hold up??

The first house

Chad Hewitt "The Designated Wagon Driver" ...next year I think we will have to upgrade to our atv and trailer!

Ding Dong!

Colter loved this blow up cat at one of the houses....

The phrase of the night "JUST TAKE ONE!!!!"

I guess Chad wasn't moving fast enough Olivia had to take over the wagon pulling!

Anyone home?

Peeking in the window!

Cool Halloween decorations...almost as good as getting candy...almost.

I didn't think I would ever get Colter to leave this yard with all of their very "spooky" decor. Colter kept saying "mom can we go to another spooky house?"

Happy Halloween!

Ships Ahoy!

Baby Coy's room is officially finished....for now! Chad did all the painting and putting the furniture together and I just came in and did all the final touches. I had a hard time deciding what theme to go with for this baby, but we finally agreed on nautical. Now the baby's room is ready, but are we??

3 Year Old Check Up!




Colter got to wear his gorilla costume to Mother's Day Out today...he was very excited!


Yesterday, Colter had his 3 year old check up...yes a month late! We had a great visit with the doctor. To Colter going to the doctor is just as good as going to the park....he loves it! He always runs and gives his doctor a hug and sits in her lap. She has a lot of fun with him....she pulled out a magazine and they looked at it together and he told her about everything he saw in the magazine, including colors, shapes, and numbers. AND then he came across an ad for Zyrtec and he yelled "that is momma's medicine!" She thought that was funny that he knew that. Another funny moment was when the doctor was trying to get Colter to look at her nose she said "Colter is there a bee on my nose?" Colter started crying and said "No no no a bee will sting me!" She had forgotten that he is a little traumatized by bees, since he has already been stung 3 times in his short life!


Here are a few of Colter's stats and some things he has been doing as a three year old!


Height - 40 in (93%)

Weight - 35 lbs (79%)


- Colter LOVES counting....he now can count to 30

- Colter is really into pretend play....he is always a superhero, construction worker, or monster!


- His favorite stuffed animal right now is his Sock Monkey that my Aunt Nancy and Uncle David gave him....he wants to take him everywhere.

- His favorite books are of course superhero, but he also really likes the Little Critter books.

- He tells me often that his favorite color is green...probably because his favorite superhero is the Hulk!

- Colter's new favorite toys are his train table and his Gator.

- Colter loves going to Mother's Day Out...he doesn't even look back when I drop him off.

- Colter does NOT like to sit down to color or do crafts....he is all boy....go go go!

- His favorite cartoon right now is Scooby Doo.

- He is so outgoing and loves everyone he comes across...what a great trait to have!

Baby Shower!

Today, my sweet sister and niece threw me a baby shower for Baby Coy. It was so nice of them to want to do something special for this baby, plus very helpful, because a lot of our large items were destroyed in the storage during Hurricane Ike. The shower was held at Chocolate Passion and just included family. What a great excuse to just eat, relax, and of course open up baby gifts...fun fun fun! Thank you again Laura and Olivia for creating such a special day, and thank you to the rest of my family for joining me in making a new wonderful memory for Baby Coy!
