Summer is almost here.....

Well I can't believe I have not posted since Halloween but it has been a busy year and the boys keep me busy :) Duke is going to be 3 next month and I can't believe how big he is getting-he has a great vocabulary and loves swimming in the pool with his daddy and brother, playing with anything with wheels, riding his big wheel and tricycle, Cole is 18 months next week and is growing up so fast too-he is so strong and into everything. He loves Buzz Lightyear, trucks and cars, climbing on anything he can and him and Duke love jumping onto the couch together. They are so lucky to have each other and I love watching them bond-they are so close and always look out for one another. I look forward to watching them and their bond grow over the years.

Summer is in another 6 weeks and we really look forward to taking the boys to the beach more this summer and of course a lot of playing in the pool.

1st Trip to Dineyland

Rick and I with the help of Richard and Shirley took the boys to Disneyland on Tuesday for the first time. We had a great time-the boys loved it. We thought we would only last a few hours but ended up being there all day. We went on lots of rides some of the favorites were the Jungle cruise, KC Train, Carrousel, and I would have to say Duke's favorite was the Autopia Cars and Cole's was It's a Small World (he sang along with the song the whole way :) too cute)

We decided to get season passes and hope to go back several times in the next year. We hope all the Grandparents get a chance to come with us! It was so fun to see the look in their eyes are we walked around-love my little men-they are amazing!

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)
