Cole

I haven't posted in a while. So I thought I would post some random photos I've taken of Cole recently.

The weather has been nice here the past couple of weekends. We took advantage of the nice weather and took Cole to the park. We all have Spring Fever!!! Here Cole is walking up the steps to get to the slide








Ready-Set-Go! Cole loves to go down the slide!!








Some random photos of Cole











Happy St. Patricks Day!! I bought Cole this hat and tried to get pics of him wearing. He had more fun being silly with the hat, rather than sitting and letting me take a picture of him with the hat on.

Elmo Makes Music

We took Cole to see Elmo Live on Valentine's Day. He had so much fun. He was in awe at first and then started dancing, and clapping. Cole's favorite characters are Elmo and Cookie Monster.



"Cookie" as Cole calls him


"Mo Mo" his Cole's name for Elmo, although he can say Elmo he sometimes prefers to say "Mo Mo"


Cole is watching the show with an intense look on his face.


Here he is thinking WOW whats going on now!! "Priceless"


The end of the show!!

Motherhood

I recently read a book by Jane Clayson Johnson titled I Am a Mother. The book reflects on the choice to be a mother and how society views that choice. I love this quote from the book "You matter, because a Mothers work is Gods work." How true that quote is. We have been entrusted with these children by our heavenly father, to guide and teach them. What a special blessing that is. I LOVE being a MOM!! I love watching Cole experience and discover things for the very first time. (i know rob does also). I love seeing his face light up with amazement at the things he discovers. To me there is no greater gift than that of Motherhood.

I also wanted to add a few "Coleisms"

his favorite shape must be a circle, because he loves balls, bubbles and balloons (okay a balloon is not exactly a circle but close enough).

he gives the best hugs and kisses

he loves "mo-mo" (elmo) and "cookie" (cookie monster).

he also loves cars and trucks

he says "moe peas" when he wants more of something.

he says night, night when its bed time.

when he gets a boo-boo he needs you to kiss it right away.

I love my "SILLY" boy!!

Motorcycle Show NYC & Disney on Ice

We have had a busy couple of weekends. First we took Cole in NYC to see the motorcycle show. He went on his first ferry ride. Then the following weekend we took him to see Disney on ice. Here are a few of the pictures from the two events.

"Look Out Daddy" I'm driving this motorcycle!!




I want one of these when I get bigger.


I think this one's a little big for me!


Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Donald Duck


The Haunted Mansion with spooky smoke


YUMMY!! Cotton Candy


Cole clapping when Mickey and Minnie were rescued. He was yelling No No when the villian captured them. His reactions to the show were so CUTE!!


The Pirates of the Caribbean!!

It's A New Year!!

Sorry it has taken so long for me to post these pictures. I guess time just got away from me. The following pictures are some of our favorites from the holiday's. We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!

Our family christmas photo.


Cole playing with his workshop from SANTA and his train table and trains from Mommy and Daddy. The expression on his face was "Priceless"!






Opening christmas presents!! It'a Tickle Me Elmo!!


Baking Holiday cookies. Cole was more interested in eating the frosting off the cookie, than decorating them!


Visiting N.Y.C. Cole and Mommy in Time Square.


Cole and Daddy next to the big T-Rex at Toys R Us in N.Y.C.


Family photo in front of the tree at Rockerfeller Center!


This is one of the famous houses to see at Christmas time. Cole loved seeing all the lights on the house and sitting at the desk to write a letter to Santa.

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.
