Monday in Hope

We have a busy week planned while we are in Hope! Yesterday morning we went to see Aunt Lindsey at her school. She teaches Special Education at Spring Hill and I have never been to her classroom. We got to see lots of her co-workers and even one of my old teachers from Hope:)!

Last night we went to back to Spring Hill to watch Brady play football! It was so much fun! Cole LOVES watching football, and it made it even better that cousin Brady was on the field;).

Eating popcorn with Bud.....

Brady is #21.....

The Bears won 18-16! Yay, GO BEARS:).....

Cousins

Cole and I are in Hope for the week while our new hardwood floors get sanded and stained. We left Patrick at home with Nana and Papa:(. I guess somebody has to work;)! I told Cole about 1 week ahead of time that we were going, and every morning Brady and Ryan were the first people he asked about! He LOVES his cousins!!! I think the feeling is mutual;)! You should see these 3 boys playing together! I could sit and watch them for hours.....

Razorback Football

We took Cole to the Razorback game with us yesterday. It was a BIG game with Arkansas(#10) playing Alabama (#1). We didn't pull off the win in the end, but it was a great game to watch and we had a blast. The game started at 2:30pm and we got down to the tailgate at about 10:30am! Cole was such a trooper! He took a little cat nap in my arms during the 2nd quarter, but rallied with a game dog, popcorn and coke after half time;)!

We stopped my the Johnson's tailgate first. Here is Patrick and Cole with Phillip.....

Cole and me with Carrie....

They had all kinds of games that Cole loved. His favorite was the ladder golf. He was actually really good at it:)!

Phillip was so sweet to help him play;).....

Next we went by the Plafcan's tailgate to hang out with Cece's family and Jim and Rhonda. Cole was in awe of the Goodyear Blimp! He kept saying "BIG balloon!"

Need a banker?

12 weeks

I don't like to do posts without pictures, but I can't seem to get my ultrasound pics to upload:(. Anywho, I announced on Facebook a few weeks ago that we are expecting Baby Woodruff #2! I know not all of you who read our blog are in the world of Facebook, so I thought I better not leave you hanging;)! We got to hear the little bean's heartbeat at 9 weeks, and we hit the 12 week milestone today! Wooo hoooo!!! Our due date is 3/29/11 and for those of you wondering, Cole will be THREE 4/10/11! Please keep us in your prayers as we progress through the pregnancy. Unfortunately, I have several friends that haven't had such happy endings, which makes me realize even more now than ever what a blessing a happy, healthy, normal baby is! I will do my best to keep you updated as the weeks move along:)!

CIRCUS

We took Cole to the Circus on Saturday. I made the mistake of telling him about 1 week early, so all he has been able to think about is elephants, tigers, and monkeys;)!!! Anytime we would get in the car he would say, "elfant?". The day finally came, and he LOVED it! He didn't say a whole lot, just sat in awe:)! We stayed through the 1st 1/2, rode a pony and watched elephant rides during intermission, then headed home to watch the Hog game. One hour of hokey entertainment is about all I could take! The men in the sequin pants and silk blouses makes my stomach a little queasy;)! Hahhaha!!!

Labor Day at the Lake

Patrick was in Vegas over Labor Day weekend for a bachelor party, so Cole and I loaded up and headed to the lake. As always, we had so much fun! Lots of good food and quality family time:)!

Bella (my 3rd cousin? and Lucy Hanes).....

Brady, Ryan, Cole and Henry.....

Playing Lego's with Aunt KK.....

The guys hanging out in the Hog Hole, watching The Natural. My parents added on this little bunk room and changed the old bunk room into another king bedroom. It has been the best thing ever for all the kiddos (big kids included, haha).....

Owen Hinson's 1st Birthday Party

A couple of weeks ago we went to Owen Hinson's 1st Birthday Party. It was so much fun! A beautiful day and a backyard full of kiddos and balls! What more could Cole ask for;)?!!

Playing with his girlfriend Ellie in the ball pit;).....

Time for the Birthday Boy to have cake! He was wearing the same bib his daddy wore on his 1st birthday! So sweet:).....

Helping Owen open his presents;).....
