1st Day of Preschool

Today was my first day of preschool!  I was a little bit nervous and a little bit excited at the same time!  I hope I'll learn lots and meet new friends!

 Colby wished he could go to school with me...

Halloween 2010

Happy Halloween!  I was a fairy princess this year and Cole was a garden gnome who hated his beard.  Once again, Amma made some great costumes for us!

 Cole put on the beard but he was not happy about it and had to be bribed a little with some pop!

Go Eagles!

Here we are in our matching Eagles football playoff shirts...Daddy's team won their first playoff game EVER the other night.  Go Eagles!  Of course, Colby is his grumpy self in the morning with his big pouty lip...

Soccer

I tried playing soccer this fall, but it just didn't work out.  I was SO nervous and wanted nothing to do with my teammates.  The first practice wasn't so bad, but I thought everyone was yelling at me during the first game, so I cried my eyes out the WHOLE time.  I tried a few more times but realized I just wasn't ready.  Oh well...maybe next year!

Catching Up from Summer

Holy moly, it's been a long time since Mama has put pictures up.  Shame on her!  Here are some fun things we did over the summer: Mackinac Island, my first trip to the dentist (okay, maybe fun doesn't describe this one), releasing butterflies at the park, playing at Grandma, Grandpa, Amma and Papa's!

We got to go UNDER the bridge!

Just Call Me Camden "Golden Bear" Thaler

Amma and Papa got me my very own golf clubs (none of that wimpy plastic stuff either). Real honest to goodness golf clubs. Here are a few pictures of me trying them out with Daddy.

Colby trying a new technique of putting with a 3-iron. We'll see if that takes off. Working on the signature fist-pump.

I REALLY just wanted to ride on the golf carts...maybe Uncle Dean will take me for a ride someday. Watch out US Open 2026!

Hunting for Easter Eggs!

We went to Amma and Papa's house for Easter this year. The easter bunny went a little crazy and hid 101 eggs for us to find but we found every single one! We were running all over the place...

Happy Early Birthday, Cole!

Colby's 2nd birthday is next week but we had his party early since everyone is going away for spring break. We had a Mickey Mouse theme and luckily the weather was nice for us to go outside and play!

I always like to dress up like GG!

Balloons were the hit of the party...I don't think Cole needed any other presents! One of Cole's favorite presents was his new sandals because he loves to put shoes on and take them off. On and off. On and off.

Not only did Cole like his new shoes, he also wanted to try out some new big boy underwear!

Happy Birthday, buddy boy!

An Evening with Daddy

The circus was back in town and Daddy took us to it last night! It was great...I rode an elephant and a pony, got to eat cotton candy and popcorn, but I was SO worried about the tightrope walkers. I kept telling Daddy how dangerous it was. I wanted to go on EVERYTHING but Cole wasn't too into it. He rode the pony, reluctantly, and as you'll see from the picture, it wasn't his favorite thing to do.

Patiently waiting for the elephant ride...

Trying to get Cole to pose for a picture but he was a little scared of the elephant... I'm the second to last one from the back...yippee!

Patiently waiting my turn...

Daddy had to try to turn the camera around to take a picture of Cole on the ponies, but as you can see, he wasn't really in the mood.

Giddy up, pony!

Thanks for a fun night, Daddy!

Lovey Dovey

We always get along pretty well, but we were feeling especially lovey today.

Big Boy!

Colby is getting to be such a big boy...he went potty on the potty chair twice this weekend and he pooped yesterday on the potty chair. Yeah, Colby! He wants to be just like his big sister!

Merry Christmas!!

We hope everyone had a VERY, Merry Christmas...we sure did! It was full of fun, presents and traveling!! Mama didn't do a great job taking very many pictures but here are a few of us and our favorite times...

Me and my new desk

One of my favorite gifts...an electric toothbrush that tickles my teeth! Aunt Lisa made us both soft and fuzzy pillows...Colby tried his out right away!

Me and Papa at Grandma and Jim's house

Me, Calvin and Cole on Christmas Eve

One of the best presents (and Daddy likes it more than us probably) is our new train set. We got part at Amma and Papa's and part at Grandma and Grandpa's so we can make one giant train track. Here we are setting up one part with Nicole (Uncle Kirky's girlfriend).

Colby loves being able to control the train...choo-choo!

Here I am opening my stocking. I really loved opening presents this year but Colby didn't open a single one. He loved handing them out to everyone though...we're thinking he might be a mailman in the future! (Or Michigan State's all-time leading assist leader, perhaps?!?!)

Happy New Year!!!!!!
