Collin is 2!!

Well I cant believe that it is February 19th again my lil dude is 2! Time seems to be passing all to quickly.... I sure do love my lil man he keeps me on my toes and that is an understatement! :) For as difficult as my lil man is he along with his sister are the light of my life, the best parts of me and chris are in tangled into them! I look at Collin and sometimes think holly crap you are a stink pot but then he smiles and melts my heart and I know that all of his attitude makes him him! I might have to continuously tell myself this and I will have re read this at times but right now I am feeling so lucky to be his mother! He is a very bright little boy with so much energy and such a kind heart ( when he gets his way) just playing for the most part my son has a wonderful kind sensitive spirit, it just takes one hug and kiss and I forget all the hell he just put me through just seconds ago!!! So here is to my lil hell raiser..... I love you and I wish you a very Happy Birthday!!! We are having the party tomorrow so stay tuned for the pictures!!
