Swim Ranch

Look at our little water bug! Cole is an official graduate of Swim Ranch 2009! We had so much fun with Liza, Jason, Cy, and Amber. Cole learned all kinds of new tricks, but the most important thing they teach babies at this age is how to get in and out of the pool. I think he mastered it:)!

There are lots of pictures, so enjoy.....

We can always find time to sneak in a kiss:)!

Ms. Virginia.....

Ms. Virginia taught Patrick swim lessons when he was Cole's age...

AND John Spencer...

Our diploma:).....

Julie and Charlie's Wedding Shower

Last weekend we had a couples wedding shower for Julie and Charlie. It was alot of fun! After the shower, we headed to Dickson Street. You can tell from the pictures that we had a pretty good time:).....

Happy Birthday Matthew!

Matthew Weber's birthday was last Thursday, so last weekend we had a "surprise/impromptu" birthday party for him:)! The Spencer's and Weber's came over and we cooked out. Steaks, hashbrown casserole, baked asparagus, and COOKIE CAKE!!! Makes my mouth water just thinking about it!

Here are the boys, enjoying Cole's fort....

Had to get a picture of Owen Weber:)! He will be making his debut in the next couple of weeks!!! I can't wait!

Oops...we had a little temper tantrum:)! It really wasn't that bad, but it cracked me up how he laid completely down on the ground to throw his fit. Wonder where he gets that drama from;)??? Ha, ha!!!

Gotta love the sand box...

John Spencer insisted that Matthew have a candle on his birthday cake, but I didn't have any, so he grabbed one of the candles burning in the living room and stuck it on top of the box.....

It worked;).....

We used left over plates from Cole's birthday, and "customized" them with Matthew's favorite team....

Yummy....

The Weber's.....

Cole and Daddy.....

Daddies and their boys...

Pretty soon Matthew will have a baby boy in his arms too:).....

Party animal finally threw in the towel.....

Okay, now this is funny...after a few glasses of wine, I let Amber and Jayna talk me into showing them the video of Cole's birth!!! Don't worry, it's the view from up top, but it is still pretty graphic! Amber wanted to see it because she had a c-section, so she was curious to see just what goes on in the delivery room, and Jayna wanted to watch it so she could prepare for what she's about to go through. Poor thing may wish she had never watched! Ha, ha!!!

This is Patrick explaining to Matthew about how he needs to "coach" Jayna while she is in labor. He is drawing contractions and explaining when you are supposed to count, when she is supposed to breath, etc...

They were both VERY serious about this lesson!

If Matthew happens to pass out or chicken out during birth, I think Patrick would be happy to step in! He OBVIOUSLY knows what he's talking about;)!!! Ha, ha!

Play Date with Grady

Cole got to play with Grady this weekend. Grady is my friend (and co-worker), Sarah's baby boy. He is 2 weeks older than Cole and absolutely precious!!! We don't get these boys together near enough. We had so much fun and can't wait to play again soon:).....

New Toy

Cole has found a new toy. The water faucet to my tub. He loves to turn it on and watch the water run.....

"Now I've got it going....."

Look at those tippy toes!!!

Lily & Cole

Last night we went to the Rusher's for dinner. Here are some pictures of Lily and Cole...

Caddy Shack:)???

Bathtime...

Cole sharing........WHAT??? Ha, ha!!!

Daddies and their babies...

Cole & Cy

Last week Cole went to Cy's house to play while I had a doctors appointment. He had so much fun! Amber text me while I was away and said she just teared up watching them play, thinking about what good friends they are going to be. It's neat to watch your kids grow up and become friends with your friends kids:).

Gentry Zoo

My cousin and her little girl came to visit a couple of weeks ago. We loaded the kiddos up and headed to the Gentry Zoo. It was so much fun. We did the petting part first before we headed through the drive through part. It's a good thing, because Cole slept the entire time were were driving through.

Cole and Ellis trying to pet a kangaroo...

Having a full blown conversation with a goat. Ha, ha:).....
