HOT HOT HOT!!

So cole took his first plane ride in August.
we went to Phoenix Arizona to go visit my sister that i havent seen in over a year.



Cole did REALLY well on the plane! he really liked opening and closing the blinds and putting up and down the trey! lol




I really missed my sister so it was REALLY good to see her!!

Here is one of my Niece Serenity and my nephew Brendan.
they had fun meeting cole for the first time!!
It was SUPPPPER hott there. about 120 degrees. so we didnt go outside much! cuz when we went outside it was so hot that it almost made you feel sick!!
thank goodness for AC!! :)

now i just wish i could go to Alaska to visit my other sister!!
someday....

Monte

Monte is seriously the best dad and husband i could have ever asked for.
He works so hard to provide for Cole and Me.. hes the most patient loving handsome man ive ever met!

I love how he always helps me out around the house.. he always is cleaning the house or making sure cole is fed. Cole loves his dad so much.. we went to meet monte after one of his classes and when the class was getting out everyone but about 5 people we out and cole looked inside the class room and saw monte talking to his teacher and he started running ( or more like walking fast.. lol) with his arms open and just giggling and squealing to monte!! it was SO cute! so monte picked cole up and gave him a huge hug! you could tell they both really missed each other!! for the WHOLE HOUR the were apart! haha.

anyways.. i just wanted to say how lucky i am. and i know everyone says it but its so true that monte fits EVERY single one of the qualities that i wanted growing up!

I LOVE YOU MONTE!!!

Dessert!!

so the other week i was making a dessert for a dinner we were going to!!
and i decided i'd give cole the cool whip container after i got most of it out..
he LOVED it!!
lets just say he was VERY sticky but made for some cute pictures and a entertained baby!!

Cole's One Year Photos!

Family Reunion

so a few weeks ago Cole and i went up with my parents to my mom's side's family reunion. we went up to Swan Falls.. up there we stopped on our way to get the famous "square ice cream cones.." which arent really that special its just regular icecream but scooped up with a square scoop.
while we were there we hung out and played games and cole met all of his family! :) they also have an auction where everyone brings up an auction item and the money from it is put towards the cost of the camp ground and food. we earned enough that everyone only had to pay 1$ per person.

we also stopped by the twin falls temple.. it was BEAUTIFUL!!


cole met his great grandma for the second time



my favorite part was when we floated the snake river. Cole LOOOOVED it. i was surprised he did okay in his life jacket. because when we go boating he always seems to HATE it. but i guess he must have just gotten used to it.



thanks mom and papa for the great time! :)
