My brother and me

Here we are!

Pinned you, Dominic!
Get off me, Jude!
BATHketball anyone?

Friends in low places

...and by low places I mean southeast Kansas.

Jared came over to play.
It took us a little while to adjust to eachother.
Then we wrestled. I let him win, since he was our guest!
Then I showed him all of the neat things in our backyard. Soon we will get to play out there again!
"Excuse us, we are trying to have a conversation here!"

Home Sweet Home

We are so spoiled!

Not that I am complaining!
We made out pretty good!
Everyone is glad we are no longer living out of a suitcase! Escpecially Dominic, it was getting a little tight in there!
The little drummer boy?
There was some assembly required on a few of our gifts. Dominic took care of that though.

I'd say he did a pretty good job. Now we have a place to put some of our toys.

This is how my brother shows off his new shoes. Charming!

From the desk of Jude Kolbe...

My brother has been sick, so I decided to take over the blog for him. I know some people were getting antsy to see pictures from Christmas.

Plus, I think it is time that we see a few more pictures of ME on this blog!
See, it's not always all about Dominic!
Don't get me wrong, I do love my big brother! He has lots of things to tell me.

He is my best friend!

We had a great Christmas. It was my best Christmas ever!

Look at this cool crane I got. Now I can play trucks with Dominic in the sandbox.

And of course we were spoiled by EVERYone!

Here is one proud aunt. I told Mom that we needed to get Photo Shop. Then I wouldn't have had to post this picture twice. I could have just cut and pasted my happy face into the second pic.

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas

So, one morning I woke up and there was this lighted, decorated tree in my play area.

But I kinda like it! (PS-Daddy dressed me that day!)
Mr. and Mrs. Frosty are here for a visit.
Naughty or Nice? Jude and I got to go sit on this jolly old man's lap and tell him everything we wanted for Christmas. But all I could think about were those candy canes sitting over there calling my name.

Goin' On a Deer Hunt...

...Gonna Catch a Big One!

But I'm not afraid!
Here is the buck my Dad got for me.
What an ornery deer. He is sticking his tongue out at me!
Pretty deer.
I like this hunting stuff. They do all the work while I play!

I am Thankful for...
