Finally some pics!

My camera was feeling a little loved today after me not even looking at it in a few days. This week has been crazy. One crazy thing after another happening. I'll spare you the details.
It's been beautiful here and we took advantage of that this afternoon by playing outside...a little remote control, Gator, and LOTS of BUBBLES! Boys have been in bed since 6:45...yay I get ME time. P didn't nap today and Cole got up at 3:30 from his nap and was ready. Hopefully it will be just as nice this weekend and we'll be able to go to the zoo or something.

200...posts that is!

Wow my 200th post today! A couple shots from today...was going for EYES (I Love eyes). Didn't quite get them on Cole but I still like this one from today. And then there are Parker's and WOW those blue beauties. I LOVE them! I could just look into their eyes all day long. :)

A little update on Coley...he's into everything. Like I said in my last post pulling up to everything and on the move. Well now he's also walking along furniture, standing for a few seconds at a time, and he even took two steps last night. We all saw it and cheered him on...he thought that was pretty cool! He's also up every 3 hours at night again...NOT FUN! Wants me of course and gets so disappointed when Daddy goes in the room to check on him. He doesn't even stand up for him he just sits there and cries harder then throws him self dramatically on the bed. It's hilarious how dramatic he is. LOL I think and hope it's only a growth spurt because he also took over a 3 hour nap this afternoon and he's NEVER taken one that long before. We can only hope the night wakings will end soon.

Anyway, didn't do much this weekend. Worked the Riverfest for Moms Club yesterday and went to church today. That's the extent of our excitement for the weekend. Not much going on this week either...yay!

Oh and HAPPY GRANDPARENT'S DAY! We kept telling each other we gotta call the grammy's and papa's today and well now the kids are in bed, but we thought of you all day today...Our kids couldn't be blessed anymore than they already with such AWESOME grandparents. Love you guys!

Busy, busy lately!

Sorry for my lack of posting lately. We've been really busy. Lots of stuff this week from board meetings to consignment sales to the Moms Club monthly meeting tomorrow. Yikes! I do have to say I have been on the ball today though and everything is ready for tomorrow and in the van ready to go. Yay me! So hopefully we'll get out of the door on time...haha yeah right! I have managed to take a few pics this week also. First one is of the new book Susan (my MIL) got me. I finally had time to read it Sunday on the way home from IN. I've also been stocking my pantry this week for ingredients for her recipes. The other day I made the strawberry and blueberry juices. Since then I've been putting real strawberry juice in his milk instead of strawberry syrup and he hasn't said a thing. It's still pink just and pretty much tastes like normal milk. I made Coley "banana ice cream" the yesterday for breakfast...he LOVED it! It was deliscious too.
Here's the recipe:
1 frozen banana (peel then freeze. Good for those bananas that are starting to turn brown. If your like me you don't eat them and normally they go in the trash. Until now!
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 tablespoon sugar

Blend it all together until smooth. First few minutes it's sounds a little rough. Serve and enjoy. Looks just like ice cream...just a bit runnier though, but so good. Cole is ALL OVER and into EVERYTHING since we got home Sunday. He spends most of his days standing now and holding up bookcases. LOL! It's a heavy one! ;) He's even standing on his own for a few seconds at a time. And here I thought the kid was lazy...he'll be walking by his birthday, watch!
Isn't this just the cutest?! This is his "new look." Such a cheesy grin. I can totally forsee this being the "cheese" smile I get for the next 3 years or so.
The cheesy look to go along with him waving HI!
This is such a GREAT picture of P so grown up, looking at me, nice smile, and even a little twinkle in his eyes. Except for the PURPLE nose. While coloring this afternoon he thought it
would be rather "cute" to color his face. Nice. I can only imagine what BOTH of them will look
like once Coley starts coloring too. At least it's not on the carpet or newly painted walls, right?!


Busy day tomorrow! Don't know if I'll have time to post.
Moms Club meeting 9:30
Consignment sale drop off 5
Southern Living party 6:30

We're back!

Went on a quick trip to Indiana this weekend for GiGi's surprise 80th birthday party. She was so SURPRISED and love every minute of it. I took a lot of pics but had to post these. (Patti I hope you don't mind this one of Brett.) Anyway, this is Brett, Bill's second cousin. He is such a ham and LOVES to pose for the camera. How could I resist this ?! And because I was taking Brett's picture Parker wanted to get in on it too. He just wasn't into "posing" and looking at me. Here's what I got of him...TRUE BOY! (I need to redo that pic the color is wonky.)

Anyway, I have lots more photos to work on and I'll post more as soon as I do that. This morning Parker and I slept in until 8:45...I think that is the first in over 3 years for me. I feel
so much better today! Not doing much today besides hanging out and enjoying the boys.

In our rush to get out on Friday I didn't have time to post about it but it was Bill's birthday.
HAPPY 31 st BIRTHDAY BABY! This year we spent both of our birthday's in the car and eating at McDonald's. Fun! We did go out Thursday night for his birthday dinner and gave him his new briefcase. He LOVES it...YAY!
Off to enjoy the rest of the day!

This is what 10 months looks like on Coley!

Can you believe it? 10 MONTHS ALREADY! I had a little session with Cole today because well he's 10 months. The top one he just woke up from his nap...wanted to get some of him in his crib. (Can you say little Bill?) Then we went outside in the grass...straw. :) He had a blast eating the leaves as Daddy and I tried our darndest to keep them out of his reach.
Love this one as he scurries along...look at those little feet and toes.
A Coley funny for ya. The past few days when Cinders barks Cole chimes in with AH, AH AH! It's too cute. The first time he did it I was like oh it's a coincidence, then he did it again. Now he does it everytime. How niceis that that he'll mimic the dog instead of me saying "mama!" Silly boy.

A little something I made today.

I actually had time this morning to stamp...felt so good to be able to work in my new space. Nichole if your reading this I bet your pretty proud of me. :)

A litte dose of Coley for the day!

Here is our sweetest little guy today! This is how he is most of the time, all smiles and giggly. Except of course when he's tired or hungry or just wants Mama. Then he can get pretty fussy. He loves to stand up to play and has perfected his army crawl to more of a slither...he's that fast. Looks more like a snake. I did notice him up and crawling on all fours for a bit today too. Go Coleman! Let's see oh babyfood is pretty much a no go. LOVES table food. I'm really sad to say he eats more of a variety of table foods than his brother does, I think. He's also waving hi and bye. When he waves hi he also makes a haaaaa sound too. Too cute. Love those chunky legs!
