Fun in December

We have been busy this month, between birthday parties and holiday parties, holiday shopping and decorating the house. Although we are busy we still need to take time to remember why we celebrate christmas. Because of Jesus Christ our Saviour. I wanted to add some pictures of some of the fun we have had this month. We took cole to see Sant a at the mall this past weekend. He was a little scared this year. I had to sit with him and Santa. At least there weren't any tears!!

While waiting to see Santa we took this picture of Cole starring up at the big tree that was there.What a handsome looking little boy!!!

We decided to be daring and put Cole up on the post to take a picture with the tree.

This month our church playgroup went to see a gingerbread display. There were some amazing looking gingerbread houses. Here are a few pictures of the one's I liked. Cole was much more interested in trying to eat the candy off the houses, than seeing them.

There was a big gingerbread display that you could take pictures by. Here is Cole with his friends, Grace, Dallin, Joseph, Ethan and Gavin.
We went to our friends birthday party at Giggles. Cole loves te Merry-Go-Round!!

The theme was Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Cole loved the cupcakes as you can see.

Cole would make a cute "Mousecateer"!!!

Fall Fun

I just wanted to post a few pictures from our day of playing in the leaves. In the first picture you can tell cole had , had enough. This is at the end of our fun in the leaves. Our fall family photo. I figured we would take advantage of the big pile of leaves in the front yard adn take our annual fall photo!!

This is Cole's inital reaction to the big pile of leaves in the front yard. He loved it at the beginning. Here he is playing with his cousin's JJ and Jasmine.

Look at me playing in the leaves!! Cole's face says it all.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

We hope everyone had a great halloween and lots of fun trick-or-treating. Cole really enjoyed it more this year. He even stayed awake the whole time we were out. He loved walking up to the door for candy. As you can see by the pictures we make it a family event by all dressing up. We had fun being clowns. Tune in to see what we will be next year!!!

October Fun!!!

We have had a busy couple of weekends. So there are lots of pictures in this post. Cole had a special day with Daddy while I was in Philidelphia for Time Out for Women. They went pumpkin picking in Grandmas yard and went to the firestation to see the fire trucks. We also took Cole to Six Flags. We went to the safari and then on the rides. Our church playgroup had a Halloween Party. The kids wore their costumes, played games and ate goodies.



Cole and I made sugar cookie lollipops for the party. Cole was a big helper, he handed me the sticks when I needed them. He was also the taste tester. As you can see the cookies were YUMMY!!!

Here are all the kids in their costumes at the Halloween Party!!

Isn't he a CUTE clown!!!

Cole really enjoyed frosting then eating the cupcake. He wanted to eat the cupcake before we were done frosting it.

Playgroup Pumpkin Picking Trip

We went Pumpkin Picking at the farm with our friends from church this past week. Cole had alot of fun as you can tell from the pictures below. However, he was more interested in the weeds and grass than he was with the pumpkin's. There were also animals (ducks, a horse and cow, goats, bunnies) to feed as well.

Looks like he is going to get the pumpkin but he really wants the tall piece of grass thats there. Sitting in the pumpkin patch with all the pumpkin's.

Cole on the hay wagon that we took to get to the pumpkin patch.

I'm king of the world, well at least I'm king of this pumpkin!! How do I get down from here?

At the farm, they had stacks of hay for the kids to play on. There was a tunnel going through from one side to the other. Cole had fun playing inside the tunnel.

Light the Night Walk

This past saturday we we particiapted in a walk along with some of our family and friends for Leukemia and Lymphoma. the walk takes place at night so the balloons are lit. Red balloons are for supporters, White balloons are for survivors and gold are for someone who has lost the battle with cancer. This walk is very near and dear to me because last year I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Thank you to those who were able to walk with us and for those who also donated money to a wonderful cause.

Apple Crafts

I decided that I would start doing some craft projects Cole. The projects are centered around a theme. The month of September we did apple projects. Cole and Daddy did apple prints using finger paints. Cole and Mommy made an apple tree. More craft projects to come!!!

We have been busy the last couple of weekends. This past weekend we took Cole to a YANKEE game. We wanted him to go to the original yankee stadium before they closed it. Cole had a good time and we got lots of pics of him at the stadium. Unfortunetly the Yankee's lost the game.



Cole and Daddy watching the game.

WOW what a hit!!!

Cole's reaction to what is going on around him. I just love the facial expressions.

Rob's friend Steve got married, and we attended the wedding. Cole was having a good time dancing at the reception.
