Adventureland is a lot of fun. Shannon went on some rides that we pretty scary for me to watch but she loved it. Colin got to go on his first amusement park rides. He thought any ride that he got to steer was the greatest. Shannon was an awesome big sister and went on all the rides with him.

We went to Omaha on our vacation this year. We tried some hiking but the mosquitos were terrible. We also saw some trains and went to a museum.

Colin doesn't really smile much for photos anymore. Here he is spending some time at the park while Shannon is at piano.

Really, really tired.

Colin at the zoo as a busy bee. Not that he needs a bee suit for that to be true.

My piggie is my best friend!

Really I'm not supposed to do this? Are you sure?

Colin's first picture:

Just playing around.

Someone really needed a haircut. I didn't want to cut his curls off but it was getting really out of hand. Here are before and after pictures. He wasn't nearly as upset about it as he looks in the picture - he really didn't seem to mind too much.

And here is what it really looks like when we don't give him a combover. Pretty cute!

Easter time!

Look at my amazing truck!

The Easter bunny was pretty tricky this year. Look closely in that container of beads.

What do you mean, I am not supposed to stand on this? By the way, I am not so sure about my sister sometimes. She always says she will catch me...

Wait, what I am supposed to do out here?

I just know if I poke at this long enough something cool will happen. And he did actually manage to start a game on my computer. And reset the internet settings. Guess I won't just watch and think it is cute next time he tries to play with my computer.

I never can get his huge smile on camera. Usually it is just his mouth hanging open, with or without a long string of drool. I almost got it here. And the awesome onesie was decorated by his favorite sister.

Best (and by best I actually mean only) family photo.

Best present ever!!!

And a chair to sit in while my big sister reads me one of my favorite books.

Look who turned one!

I love my bulldozer! I can even push my toys around with it.

Who, me?

Bath time is fun!

Another comparison post. Shannon at 13 months and Colin at 9 months.

Present patrol is on the prowl.
