just some cute pictures of our little boy!!

Daddy and Cole building a fire in my parents backyard!!
my niece gave him the spoon to lick after she made brownies!! :)


No, cole doesnt wear glasses. he was just playing with grandmas and we thought it was cute!!

Polar Express or the North Pole

So this happened a while ago.. but this last month or so has been so busy for us. all this family coming into town. monte getting done with one more semester of school. and babysitting. and then just the day to day life. but a few weeks ago we took a trip up to HorseShoe bend for montes Summer job's work party. we got on the train and cole seemed to be pretty excited about it. he didnt really know what was going on. when santa started walking around he looked at him like "WHO THE HECK IS THAT??" but he didnt seem scared. untill.. we made him sit on his lap. that didnt work out well. thats why we just decided to take a family picture.
we went on a long ride.. it didnt seem like long cuz we has a blast... but then we stopped at the "North Pole" and we were given cookies and milk ( chocolate or strawberry or just plain) there was a fire and carolers and little houses you could go in.. cole had a lot of fun just playing in the houses pulling the huge candy canes outta the ground and chasing our friends little boy Luke around..

It was a very fun day! and we'd recommend it to everyone.. :)
hope everyone is having a good holiday season and enjoying the snow i know we sure are!! :)

Cole's Blanket

so this was taken a few weeks ago when we were packing.. i just thought it was SO cute.
I dont know why the pictures uploaded backwards.. but this is the blanket i recently made for cole. now of course it's tied. i had so much fun making this. i love sewing. i need a lot more practice though to be as good as my mother in law and my mom.
How was everyone's thanksgivings???

Twilight

so i went with my friend Lena last night to go see Twilight.
it was AWEEEESOME!! i LOVED it. i would highly recommend it.
ive heard so many things about it.. how Edward isnt as cute as he is in the book and how it skips a lot.
well i though edward was pretty good looking! and yes they do skip a lot a little details. but I love it..
it def lived up to my expectations!

tell me how you guys liked it!! :)

November so far..

Introducing SUPER MAN!! okay.. so i was thinking last night how its gonna be fun when cole always wants to put a cape on and "fly around" so i decided to tie a blanket and see how he liked it!! he loved it. i tired taking it off and hes cry. so we has superman in our house all last night..
he even put his hands out behind him and ran ( which he does a lot.. but it looked cool with the cape)
i brought coles trike inside last night cuz i was babysitting for my friend and it was also pretty cold outside.. Aiden started using the trike as a walker..(he cant walk yet) and cole was on top.. so cole got a free ride!! and i didnt even have to bend over and push him. id just turn the trike around and send them off to the other side of the room. back and forth! they both enjoyed doing that! :)
last sunday we decided to make some cinnamon rolls. cole was such a big helper. i gave him his own little bowl and spoon.. and when id add stuff to mine id add some to him. when i added eggs i didnt add any to his though.. instead i added SPRINKLES!! he loved it. it was all colorful!! so needless to say we had a few sprinkles in the cinnamon rolls cuz cole would decide to help me stir mine. we had so much fun.
i grew up doing stuff like this with my mom all the time and i want to give my kids the memories of baking with their mom.. after we make the treat we're making im trying to keep cole the importance of service. soo we eat one ourselves and give the rest away ( which is good or i'd weigh 500 lbs from all the treats we make! haha)
i know that service is such an awesome blessing from not only the people who recieve it but for those who give it. thanks mom for teaching me the importance of service!! i love you!

Family Pictures!!

So we went at got our pictures taken... im not sure if id ever go back to Sears.. but for the price we paid i was happy with them.
As you can tell cole is holding a ball in almost all of them.. its because he saw the balls they had and WOULD NOT sit still until he was holding one. so the only was to keep him on our lap or a place to take a picture was to have him holding a ball!! but i dont mind.. it shows his character.. he really LOVES balls! lol
and this one captures his "oo" face.. classic.
i have such cute boys in my life!!

(Sorry theyre so small!! )
