Thursday in Hope

Thursday we went to Texarkana to see my cousin Jordan's new baby, Myles. He is 6 weeks old and absolutely precious! It made me so excited to have a newborn around again soon:)!

Cole was surprisingly really good with him. He even let me hold him;)!!!!

We ate lunch at Bryce's Cafeteria, which is my all time favorite! I know cafeterias gross some people out, but I will sit there with the blue hairs all day long as long as I get some good home cooking;)!

Cole with Ellis (the big sister!).....

Okay, now I KNOW I shouldn't post this picture, but I just couldn't help myself;)! I wish I could blame my consumption on being pregnant, but I'm sad to say that I eat this much EVERY time I go to Bryce's;)! The chocolate pie is an addition since I had Cole. For some reason I developed a sweet tooth after giving birth;).....Fried zucchini, cream corn, macaroni and cheese, turnip greens, squash, mashed potatoes, black eyed peas, and chocolate pie!!! (the banana pudding and roll are NOT mine! Hahahaha!!!)

The kiddos.....

That afternoon one of my childhood friends, Clancy, came by with her 2 kids. Turner and Maggie are SO cute!!!

Cole layed in the yard forever playing on my iphone.....

then he tried on goggles.....

and some ugly sunglasses;).....

Bud with his boys.....

Bud and Peg with their grandbabies:).....

Wednesday in Hope

Wednesday in Hope we rode all Bud and Peg's ride-on toys, then went to eat dinner at Mamaw's house.

Cole got a little ticked off that his feet wouldn't reach the pedals on his Big Green Tractor:(.....

Now, that's more like it;).....

Since Mamaw had to have both of her legs amputated, my Aunt Bette and Uncle Bill very graciously agreed to add on a "Mother In Law's" suite to their house. It is the perfect little spot for her! She has always LOVED to be outside and there is a great little porch right off of her bedroom.

This is her little bedroom:)....

There is a great tree in their backyard with a swing hanging from it. The boys loved it!

On our way out the door Cole discovered their cat, Felix. Cole's Uncle Kyle and Aunt Cece recently got a little kitten, so he has become obsessed with cats. Luckily Felix didn't mind the kisses Cole was determined to give.

Tuesday in Hope

We have been busy, busy, bees!!! Yesterday we went to the park, a parade, the fair, and ended the night with Mexican food at Amigo Juan's!

Here are some pics from the park.....

And the parade.....Cole LOVED seeing Elmo;)!

What parade would be complete without a tractor.....

Next up.....THE FAIR!!! Bud rode more rides than any of the kids! He took all 3 boys up the Fun Slide:)!

This picture is really dark, but it is of dad and Cole coming down the slide....

Next I rode the Strawberries with dad and the boys.....

Then the boys rode the motorcycles. Ryan and Cole rode together and Brady was on the motorcycle behind them. Dad was too big for this ride:(.....

Dad and Brady on the Scrambler.....

Last ride of the night, Bumper Cars.....

And we topped the night off at Amigo Juan's:).....
