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:)!

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:).....

Working on the farm...

Riding on the tractor and the feeding geese are 2 of Cole's favorite things! He loves going to Spring Lakes!

Peg's Birthday Weekend

Peg's birthday was August 7th, so we went to Hot Springs to spend the weekend with her. Brady and Ryan were there, so of course, Cole was in heaven! He LOVES his cousins:)!!!

Tontitown Grape Festival

We took Cole to the Tontitown Grape Festival last night. We stood in line FOREVER for the spaghetti dinner (which was SO worth it), then rode some rides! Cole accidentally forgot to take a nap that afternoon, so he fell asleep on the way there. He slept on Patrick's shoulder for a while once we got there, but as soon as he peeped his eyes open and saw all the rides, he was raring and ready to go;)!!!

Sleepy boy (and a daddy who was loving every minute of it!).....

Riding the elephants. Cole wasn't to thrilled about being in a pink elephant, but the blue one we first got in didn't have a buckle. At least he got to ride with a cute little girl;)!

Getting ready to go down the potato sack super slide! Fun times:)!!!

Checking out the bunnies.....

Watching some big kids go down the super slide.....
