Halloween 2011

We had a fun time this year going trick r treating-Duke really got into it. Duke was a cowboy and wore cowboy books that Ricks grandfather bought him when he was a kid, Cole was an Indian-so cute! We went with my mom, dad, Richard, and Shirley, Melissa, Keith and Cash who was an angry bird, Jen, Steven, Katie and Kylee who were a cowgirl and a princess. Good times!

Cole is One!

Cole on his new train

My little guy is one! We had a nice family Birthday celebration for Cole on his Birthday the 12th. He really enjoyed the cake as you can see. He is such a happy guyand has been such a great addition to our family and he really makes it feel complete. He started walking over a month ago and is really motivated to keep up with his older brother. Cole and Duke love to play together and usually it involves something with wheels-(cars, trucks, trains, and planes) Duke is talking non-stop, loves playdough, learning how to ride a big-wheel, and his new favortie movie is Curious George.

We took Cole to his 1 year appt and he weights 27 pounds 12 ounces is 31 inches tall! She said he looked great and we go back in 3 months for another check-up.

Christmas is almost here and this year Duke knows what is going on-so next year will be even better with both boys excited. We are going to get a tree and decorate this year which is going to be fun (last year we did not do much with Cole being a newborn)

Cole's 1st Birthday-more photos

September 2011

Wow-Time is flying-I can't believe it is already the end of September-I have been having some computer problems and have been having trouble with my camera and pictures so it has taken me sometime to post.

Cole is 10 1/2 months and taking a few steps and standing really well-I can't believe he is going to be a year soon. He is so strong it is unreal-he has starting climbing on everything, he is still taking 2 naps a day and sleeping well at night other then that fact that he likes to wake up every morning at 5:15am-not my best time of the moring-but he will usually play in his brib till 6am or a little after. Cole is one of the sweetest babies I have ever seen-always smiling, loves to cuddle and you can't help but feel good when you are around him.

Duke is 2 years and almost 4 months-he is talking a ton and his vocabulary has gotten really great. He loves doing puzzles, playing with playdough and reading (well he likes pointing to all the pictures and saying what they are), he is non-stop and keep me busy. He is such a great older brother to Cole and loves playing with him and always wants to go with me to get him up from his naps. They enjoy playing together in their cribs and crack eachother up all day long. I love watching them together and am so happy for them to have eachother and makes me realize having them close together was a good choice.

The Holidays around the corner and I am looking foward to them. We are going to take the boys to the pumpkin patch for the 1st time this year and it will be fun to watch them pick out their pumpkins.
