SNOW!!

Hi Everyone,

It's official - I'm a snow bunny! Although Mommy tells me that there was snow on the ground when I was born, I don't remember it. This is the first snow I've ever seen! And when you ask, I'll tell you it's white. Yep, "white" and "cold". Mommy, Daddy, and I got to play in the snow this morning. We even made our footprints. My footprints were made with my very cool red rain boots.

Gotta run - it's nap time!
Love,

Collin

We're BACK! Get Ready for a Franks Family Hoedown!

Hi Ya'll!

Some of you may remember my dancing debut last Christmas, but wait til you see this. Mommy's been keeping us up late every night for rehearsals, and Daddy's been practicing with both of his left feet (mommy said he couldn't use his own self-choreographed moves). We've been working hard, but I think it's totally worth it. We Franks really have talent on the dancefloor, don't we?! Scroll down to take a look at our fancy footwork.

Merry Christmas!!
Love,
Collin

Monkey Business

Better late than never, right? At least that's what Mommy says...and she seems to be saying that a whole lot lately. So I got to go trick-or-treating on Halloween dressed as a monkey. Boy, was I cute! I was so cute, people just kept giving me candy. Who knew? You can just walk right up to someone's front door and ask for candy. I've tried it a couple of times since Halloween, but it just wasn't the same.

I really love fall - not only did I get to dress up and ask for candy, but I also got a lot of "leaf time"! Daddy raked up a big pile of leaves and we all dove right in! It was really fun - I just needed more leaves!

And here' s a picture just to show how cute I am - don't you think so?

I'm a REAL Cowboy!

Howdy Partners,



If you keep up with my adventures, you know I really like horses. Well, today I got to ride 'round and 'round all by myself (ok, Daddy helped a little) on a pony!

Enjoy!

The Pumpkin Patch

Today I had fun at the pumpkin patch! I was really tired and ready for a nap, but boy did I love the tractor ("TRACT-TOR") ride!

We rode the TRACT-TOR all the way out in the middle of a real pumpkin patch and I got to pick out my very own pumpkin. There were SO many choices!

Me and my friend Cole looked and looked until we found the best pumpkins!

Here's me driving another tractor!

Now it's time for a nap!
Love,

Collin

Nothing says "cool" like a new pair of rain boots, don't you think?

All in a Day's Work

Hi Everybody!

Well, now that I'm 18 months old, I stay really busy! I decided to show you some of the things I like to do to keep busy during the day. Here we go...

I LOVE playing with my cousins - here's a picture of me with my cousins Ally & Ashlyn. Poor Sheryl - she's carrying quite a load! Thanks for the ride!

I got to go to the Museum of Discovery a few weeks ago. Check out all the cool stuff:

Here's me crawling through a tunnel:

One word: TRUCKS!! Don't you love 'em?

I've really got good piano form. I composed this piece myself.

I also got to visit some horses. Daddy says I'm a real little cowboy. Here's a picture of me riding Jack:

Thanks to Aunt Amber, I also get to ride my 4-wheeler all the time. Watch me go!

Daddy says I'm old enough to start learning some chores. Here's me taking out the trash:

Finally, after all this, I have to get ready for bed. I love to brush my teeth!

Here I am reading my book. I read several every night before going to bed.

And here I am giving my goodnight kisses. I love Mommy!

And now it's time for bed! See you tomorrow!
