Halloween Happenings

Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I love the fall colors, pumpkin picking, and deciding what our family theme will be for Halloween. This year we let Cole pick what he wanted to be and made the theme around his choice. So we were pirates ARRGH!!

AHOY MATEE! A Trick-or-Treating we will go!!

Summer Vacation

For summer vacation we went to Myrtle Beach SC. Cole had a GREAT time this year. He LOVED swimming in the pool and playing in the waves at the beach. In the ocean Cole would say I go myself. We let him go by himself in the pool only because he had his vest on but no in the ocean.He was so cute!! Everytime it was time to go anywhere else he would cry. He LOVES the water. He tried boogie boarding like his cousins. We went to Ripley's Aquarium and to Ride Makerz (like build-a-bear but for boys, you design your own car). We had a wonderful, fun time on vacation!!

Cole helping to put his truck together. He made a monster truck fire truck. It was pretty cool!! (Sorry the pic is a little blurry)


The finished product!!


Cole loved standing on the edge of the pool and jumping in. I guess his swimming lessons are paying off. He isn't afraid of the water.


Playing football in the pool.


Wearing Daddy's hat. LOL


Boogie boarding in the ocean





Busy day at the beach!


Last year we had family pics professionally taken on the beach. This year we decided to take them ourselves. I think they came out good. Friends of ours took the ones of us as a family. Cole with Mommy


Cole and Daddy (not sure what they were looking at, the pic is cute though)





This is the face Cole makes when you tell him to say "Cheese" so cute!!

4th of July Festivities

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!! I love going to the parade, seeing the fireworks and spending time with family and friends on the 4th of July!! This year Cole was able to enjoy the parade more and actually go on a few rides at the carnival.


Where are the fire trucks? That was Cole's favorite part of the parade.. Although he wasn't too crazy about the loud noise. He is watching and waiting for them to come.


The fire truck with the BIG ladder was his favorite!!


Just "Clowning" around. Rob's friend dresses up as a clown in the parade every year.


123.. BLAST OFF!! Cole was able to go on the little roller coaster. And he went by himself.


We asked Cole which car he wanted to ride on. Of course he picked the motorcycle. He takes after his Daddy!!


Our friends the Teeples had a BBQ at their house for the fourth of July. Here is a picture of Cole with his friends. (Ethan, Dallin, Addy and Alivia)


Rob's family also had a BBQ for the 4th of July. Cole had fun playing in the moon bounce with his cousins (Jasmine, Emily, JJ, Jacob and Sean).


We ended the day by watching the fireworks at the college with some friends. Cole was mesmerized by the fireworks.
