Walking Videos

Sorry to bore y'all, but these videos come at the request of my parents. They don't believe Cole is a "full time" walker these days, so I had to post lots of video to show them!

The 1st video is of him chasing his shadow! He actually picks a ball up and throws it at his shadow, and it bounces back and hits him in the face! Hilarious!!!

The 2nd and 3rd videos are him showing off his soccer moves;)! Watch out David Beckham!!!

Who has the funniest daddy in the world?

Cole thinks he does:)!!!!!

Patrick would throw the baseball up in the air and hit himself on the head. For some reason Cole thought this was HILARIOUS!!! He literally threw himself down on the floor and did some sort of a belly laugh!

These boys keep me laughing.....

Fiddler on the Roof

They are building a house next door to us, and Cole loves to sit outside and watch the construction. Particularly the roofers. He thinks it is hilarious that they are up on the roof! I hope he doesn't get any ideas;)!!! Saturday morning he climbed up on the top of his picnic table and sat and watched them forever! He would yell at them and wave real big and they would wave back! Such a fun game:)!!!

Spoon & Fork

Cole insists on feeding himself with a spoon and fork. I wasn't going to encourage it this early because it is SO messy, but they use them at school and he loves it! He gets so excited and claps for himself when he manages to actaully get something in his mouth:)!

4 Wheelin'

Cole has really gotten the hang of riding his 4 wheeler that Liza and Cy got him for his birthday. He's always liked to sit on it and push the button, but he didn't understand that you have to hold the button down to make it go for a long time. He has been riding it all over the house, but as you can imagine, he runs into things all the time. It doesn't bother me, but it frustrates him, so tonight after his bath we decided to take it outside. He shows off his walking skills again too, but I had to stop recording and catch him before he got too far into the tall grass on the empty lot next door......

My Little Gardener

Pops and Mimi have a huge garden in their backyard.....

Cole found a bucket of squash.....

And wanted someone to feed it to him:)!

Pop's Birthday

Pop's birthday is on the 4th of July, so we celebrated with him when we got back in town Sunday.

The Woodruff boys...

and Mimi.....

We gave Pops some seersucker shorts.....

I think he liked them:)! What do you think??? Ha, ha!!!

Uncle Kyle and Cole.....

4th of July

We spent the 4th of July at my parents lakehouse in Hot Springs. It's always a crazy, busy, fun weekend.

Check out this car/boat.

Cole and Ryan...

Patrick practicing for hunting season...

Kissing Grammy goodbye. We were on the McNeil's deck, but it looks like we are at a bar with that beer sign in the background! Ha, ha!!!

Brady shooting fireworks.....

This boy would tube all day if Bud would let him.....

Quinton and Ryan.....

Ryan FINALLY decided he was ready to give it a shot!!!

He was holding on SOOOO tight to that tube:).....

Now all 3 boys! Bud is going to have to buy a 4 baller when Cole gets big enough to tube;).....

So fun!!!

Now it's Patrick's turn!

My dad did everything he could to try and throw him off;)!!!

My parents lakehouse. Lots of good family memories here.....

Love this view.....

This video is from the night we got there. Patrick had to work on Friday, so we didn't get to town until about 10:00pm. Cole slept the whole way there, but was ready to play with is cousins when we finally arrived! Brady would jump every time Cole hit his bat to the ground. He thought it was the funniest thing ever!!!

Rodeo Of The Ozarks

Call me redneck, but I think we've found a family tradition! We took Cole to the Rodeo of the Ozarks last week and he absolutely LOVED it!!! I told Patrick Wednesday afternoon that my friend Sarah and her husband were taking Grady to the rodeo and I thought we should take Cole. He acted like it was a horrible idea and then surprised us on Thursday with tickets to the "Buckle Club"!!! Ha, ha!!! For those of you that aren't into rodeo lingo, this is the way to go! We had spaghetti dinner before and our seats were right above the chutes, and most importantly they were covered and had seat backs......

Cole and his daddy.....

Slurpin' good spaghetti dinner:).....

Sitting like a big boy.....

CRACKING UP!!!!!

The Grand Entrance....I seriously thought this might be the only part of the rodeo we would see. I thought Cole would get cranky and tired and we would have to leave early. I was certainly mistaken. I think we have a cowboy on our hands:)!

Love these baby ponies:).....

MEAN BULL!!!! I was trying to talk sweet to this sucker and he was scratching his hoofs in the dirt, like they do before they charge!!!

Cole was serious about watching the bull riding. He would clap as soon as the gate was open.....

and anxiously wait until the next bull rider came out!!!!!

We ran into Mr. Lloyd Phillips, Patrick's High School principal and the winner of the Outland Trophy while playing football at Arkansas. He and Cole were fast friends:).....

A good rodeo will wear a boy out!!!

I can't wait until Cole is old enough to Mutton Bust:)!!!! Ha, ha!!!!!
