Where's Cole?

Cole has a new obsession.....sleeping with things! He insists on sleeping with EVERY ball and stuffed animal in our house! Also, new additions are all of Lucy's toys, his baseball bats/gloves, his fishing pole, and his GUNS! It is a dart gun and an UNLOADED bb gun, but it looks so bad;)!!! I can't believe my child is a hoarder;(!!! For those of you that know me, you know I am the FARTHEST thing from a hoarder! This new obsession is driving me crazy;)!

Duck Hunting

Patrick took Coach DeBriyn duck hunting Saturday afternoon. They were only gone for a couple of hours and came home with a goose, a green head, and 3 gadwals!

Tonsillectomy

Cole had a tonsillectomy last week. He was SUCH a big boy!!! I dreaded the surgery for months beforehand:(! It was definitely harder on Patrick and me than it was on Cole! He bounced back like none other, and was literally RUNNING the hospital halls the night of his surgery. We had to spend the night, since he is under 3 years old, they like to watch their airways for 24 hours. The most challenging part was taking him to the bathroom, what seemed like every 30 minutes! Try taking a 2 year old to the bathroom while he is hooked up to an IV on one side, and a pulse/ox machine and BP cuff on the other;)!!!

Pre-op with mommy.....

Being rolled back:(....

Riding in the elevator.....

Obviously, clueless! Poor baby:(.....

Getting settled in our room, post-op.....

We had a view of a pond with tons of geese! I thought this would be a good thing for him to look at, but it ended up just frustrating him because he couldn't get closer to them! He kept saying, "Cole's too high!".....

Running the halls! Patrick could hardly keep up;)....

Playing with the cool wall in the waiting room. It lights up in all different colors when you touch it.....

Daddy got us Krispy Kreme donuts for breakfast the next morning:).....

Off of the IV and waiting to get discharged.....

AND WE'RE OUT OF HERE:).....

New Year's Eve

We spent New Year's Eve with Nana and Papa at the Razorback basketball game. It was nice to have something to do, but even nicer to be home and off of the streets before all of the crazies came out;)! Happy New Year to all of our family and friends!

Feeding the Ducks

The weather on Friday was awesome, so we decided to take advantage of it before the frigid temps returned. We pass this lake on our way to Wal-Mart and EVERY time Cole asks if we can go see the ducks. These 3 white ducks live there full time. They are the funniest things! I wish I had a close up picture of them. They have little afros on top of their heads! They will come right up to you, but aren't aggressive at all! Some other kiddos had the same idea we had, so by the time we got there their bellies were already full and they weren't too interested in us;)! As an added bonus, we also got to see an airplane take off!
