Fun Pictures !!!

Here are some random but fun pictures. Enjoy!!

Jake & Court thought they were sooo funny. They couldn't stop laughing at themselves.

We bought Courtney a new winter coat and she loves wearing it, even when she's inside. I'll have to take another picture... When she is standing up she reminds us of 'Randy' from the movie Christmas Story. It's hilarious!!

Here is Jake enjoying the first snow fall of the season.

Jake won a Free Kids Meal at TGIF Friday's for having the most reading minutes in his Kindergarten class. Congrats to our little reader! We took Logan & Coco with us and we had a ton of fun!

Jake is 6 Years Old!!

Jake turned 6 years old on November 6th. He was sooo excited for his Birthday and now that he is finally 6, he loves telling people he is 6. He is such a riot. These are a few words I would use to describe Jake. Jake is an extraordinary, loving, kind, spiritual, smart, teachable, hard worker, unselfish, beautiful spirit, handsome and sweet little boy. They really don't come much better then our little Jake. Happy Birthday Jake!! We love you!
Here is Jake opening his presents before school. Jake is the funnest kid to give presents to, he gets excited for EVERYTHING and will give you the biggest hug and a ton of thank yous.

Here is Jake with his new presents!!!

Jake's kindergarten class celebrated Jake's birthday. They call it his "special day". We had to put together a scrap book all about Jake and make a mobile with pictures of Jake that they hang from the ceiling. We also brought donuts (Jake's favorite treat) to share with the class.


In the afternoon we had 12 of Jake's friends come over for a Bakugan Birthday Party. It was a very simple party but still lots of fun. We played duck duck goose, musical chairs, bingo, decorated cup cakes, ate pizza and had a pinata.


Do you love my cup cake cake I made? LOL!! I am so talented!!!


I put Heather in charge of taking pictures and she did great! Thank you Heather for all your help!!!


Because we handed out "Bakugan" invitations, almost everyone of Jake's friends gave him Bakugans. It was hilarious, if I remember right he was given over twenty new Bakugans. Jake was of course thrilled as these are his favorite toys. He was definitely in Bakugan Heaven. (It also helped that Walmart had a huge Bakugan sale. LOL!)

Here is Jake hitting the pinata. How smart am I? I filled the pinata and treat bags with all of Jake and Courtney's Halloween candy!! The crazy thing is, Jake and Coco have so much candy from Halloween that they didn't even notice that I took almost half of it!!

My parents showed up at the end of the party, Jake opened MORE presents and then played with his presents the rest of the evening. And I quote Jake... "This was the best Birthday EVER".

Happy Birthday Jake!!!

Courtney's 2nd Birthday !!

My baby girl is now two years old!! Her Birthday is October 31st but we officially celebrated it November 1st. With presents in the morning, no nap (of all days right???), church, a big family party in the evening, more presents and of course birthday cake it turned out to be a perfect Birthday! Happy Birthday Courtney!
Here is my beautiful little girl. We are completely in love with this little thing. Scott always comments that he didn't think a little girl would be so much fun! He was definitely wrong. These past few weeks Court has turned into a Daddy's girl and Scott is loving it. Court definitely has her Dad wrapped around her little finger.
Here are some words I would use to describe Court..... Beautiful, energy, loves life, high maintenance, determined, stubborn, loving, out going, smart, fun, funny and beautiful spirit. This is Courtney with her Nana (my Mom). We had both sides of the family over to our house for dinner and Coco's Birthday. Thank you to all of them for coming!!

This is Courts Grandma (Scott's Mom) doing Witchalena with the grand kids. Witchalena is a Cole family tradition that we do every Halloween. It involves scriptures and a treasure hunt. The kids love it. Thank you Margaret!!!
Courtney was spoiled with dolls, clothes, games, toys etc.. and this is the present she loved the most. Too funny eh!!! Thanks Tommy & Amber!
Laura - Check out this cute Tinkerbell costume Jen & Dave gave Court. Looks just like Lydia's Halloween costume. You need to Pack Lydia's costume so we can take some really fun pictures. Thanks Dave & Jen!!
We also celebrated Jake's, Tyty & Elise's Birthday!! Margaret made the cake and it was delicious as always!!!
This is the end of the day with Courtney holding her knew blanket that her Nana made her. She absolutley loves it. Thanks Mom!

Happy Birthday Courtney!! It's hard to believe that you are already two years old, where does the time go? I feel so blessed to be your Mom, you are truly the sweetest little girl and I am completely & totally in love with you. Thank you for making me smile & laugh everyday!! I love you!

Love,

Mom
