Arbor Day

A few weeks ago we took Cole to the Arbor Day Festival in our neighborhood. Cole had a lot of fun. We went to this last year but it seemed like Cole enjoyed it a lot more this year.

Playing in the bounce house.


Last year he was not a fan of the Clowns that make the balloon animals. This year he didn't blink an eye.
His baloon figure of choice - a sword (I think Dad had something to do with that)

Playing at the park.

These next 2 pictures really threw me for a loop. He looks so grown up.

Hope everyone has a great week.

Catch Up

I have been really bad about blogging recently so let me start by saying "I apologize". We have been really busy!

Last week I was in New York for work, Cole and Jeff hung out Sunday - Thursday morning then Cole went to visit Cici/Pops for a few days so Jeff could have a little break.

Here are a few pics of what Cole did while I was gone. Playing with teething rings..

Snacking..

Playing with Mimi.

Mom and Dad have a friend that owns a Shetland Pony; they took Cole over to his house and let him ride it. Here are a few pictures of Cole, the pony and his friend.

Amanda my neighbor sent me this picture of Cole and Blake. Looks like they were having fun! We are so lucky to have good neighbors with sweet kids around Cole's age.

I will try to post again this week, hopefully things will settle down a little. Before I end it I have to say thanks to my wonderful husband for running the house while I was working and to my wonderful parents for always being there to help us out anytime we call! Hope everyone has a great week!!

Nice Weekend

This weekend Jeff went to the deer lease (for the last weekend of deer season -- YEAH) so Cole and I had a fun filled weekend together. We spent Friday night playing outside, went for pancakes Saturday morning, to the park, and to the neighbors to watch the Texan's Game Saturday night, church on Sunday.

This was Saturday night at the neighbors house. While the adults watched the game the kids watched Polar Express (Cole's favorite movie)


And some pictures from the park.

Hope everyone has a great day and if you are in the Greater Houston Area you stay dry. The weather is horrible out there!

Holidays!

Happy New Year/Merry Christmas to all! Fair warning , I tried to keep most of these posts pretty short because there are 4 of them that I am trying to get in today. I am behind on my posting since I was off work and busy with Christmas/New Year/sick kiddo/sick husband/etc.

I will start with the last post first and go back through time!

On Christmas Day my family came in to spend the evening with us. We had a great evening with great food and fun. I told Mom and Michelle we must have been really good this year b/c there were lots of presents!

I have to be very honest, I didn't take many pictures this year. We did video him but I am not that tech savy and I am still trying to figure out how to get those on the computer. (In March when I get my I-Phone this will be corrected)

Opening presents!


Checking out his new train from GG.

A Picture with Mimi

Checking out his new back pack from Robert and Ellen

Hanging around with Cici (and snowman the Elf)

Also wanted to throw this in from school. (this was after his Christmas Party)

Christmas Eve (I am on a roll here)

This is the second of my 4 posts! I am pretty impressed with myself if you can't tell.

Christmas Eve we went to Dad and Sara's.

Cole with his cousins.


With Papa Johnny

Very serious about the Lincoln Logs (I love this pic)

Playing with Caleb and Lola (Sara's dog)

2 minutes after getting in the car.

Preparing for Santa

The Friday before Christmas Cole and I made cookies for Santa. He did a pretty good job eating most of the dough and pouring the entire jar of decorations on the cookies and the floor. Then had a 2 hour sugar high from all of the cookie dough) I am not too sure we will be doing this next year... (we may make a trip to HEB to pick out some festive cookies instead)

I told him if he smiled for the camera he could have one. This was my smile.

Patiently waiting for his cookie.

Dewese Family Christmas

The weekend before Christmas we went to visit Jeff's side of the family and celebrate Christmas. Seems like forever ago now! Sorry I have been busy and haven't had a chance to post recently.

We went to ride the train like we did the year before. Cole loved it.

This was his face when he saw the train.

Family Pics!

Unwrapping gifts.

Playing with his new leap pad

It was a great trip and a nice way to kick off the Christmas festivities!
