A wedding and a visit from the Jackson Uncles...

It was a great weekend all around for the Coles. Uncle Kevin and Uncle Terry came in town for Connor and Steph's wedding and came over to play with the kids Friday afternoon. Kevin brought out the best in Airey! He jumped in his favorite mud puddle right after SE got him dressed up in his new clothes for dinner that night! The boys laughed, but something tells me SE wasnt too impressed with the jump. I was quite impressed as the mud splash made it all the way up the pants and into the shirt! Way to go Airey! A chip off the old block :).....

After playing in the mud, we took the boys and Uncles to Chipultipec for mexican and margaritas. We had a great time with Pops and Kitty and BG "the original godfather" (or "OG" as I sometimes call him) and Cissa. Ask SE about the margaritas next time you see her. They are her fav.


Saturday was Connor and Stephs wedding and pops/kitty came over to watch the kids and let mom and dad have a night out on the town. The wedding was great and the reception was a blast. It was highlighted by the wedding party dressing as the village people and doing YMCA. We laughed for hours after that! For those of you that know our friend Dave Maness, just imagine him singing YMCA as the Chief. Visual evidence to help aid you below (hope to have a youtube link for this soon!!!  ****UPDATE. Dave Maness singing "Wanted Dead or Alive" on Youtube! click here for link****):
The Cowboys and Bulldogs both put one in the Win column this weekend which was a pleasant surprise. Here's to hoping they keep it going this weekend against the Giants and Wildcats!

Zoo Boo, DU, and Pancakes Anyone?

What a busy weekend for Team Cole! On Friday night we attended Zoo Boo and met up with Lewis, Katie, Ed, Pops and Kitty. This gave us a good reason for a trial run on the Halloween costumes and the kids definately did not disappoint! Airey was a golfer, Campbell was a pea pod, and Lewis was a monkey. Good times as evidence below:





Saturday we spent the day getting things ready for Halloween. We got a few of these, a bunch of these, and a lot of these . Now our house looks kind of like this (except better, but I have no visual evidence at the moment so you will have to take my word for it until I can upload a pic):



SE loves to decorate for the different holidays! She has a true talent for it and is already drawing up plans for her Christmas decoration extraviganza! Kind of like the Grizwold's except on a much larger scale :)!

Saturday night we were invited over to Ms Bon-bon's and Mr. Jason's for a cookout. Airey got his favorite present of the weekend from Mis Bon-bon. He love's his mini pumpkin!



The Shelby's cooked us a great meal and we had a fantastic time. The highlight of the night was watching the girls try to put out a fire on the grill with pancake mix! Hilarity ensued and there was an aroma of blueberry pancakes that filled the neighborhood for the rest of the night! Next time, Im sure Jason will be certain to heed the advice of the women and use water. Girls, you don't mess with a man's grill! All kidding aside, we had a great time, excellent food and a good laugh at the pancake mix fiasco.

Sunday we went out to Shelby Farms for the DU arts party. It was fun and we shared a paddleboat ride with the Thomas family:



No need to comment about this score or this one as they have already been erased from my memory. Thinking about it again will cause nightmares.
Sorry for such a long post, but it was an action packed weekend for us.
Happy Blogging,
Roger, SE, Airey, and Campbell

The Inagural Post....

So here we go! The Cole's are off and blogging! A little late to the party in 2008, but they say better late than never. With two boys growing up by the minute, we needed a better way to communicate with friends and family than plain old email. So we are bloggin man:)....



Pics to come later when SE (the more technologically advanced one of us) is able to upload a few. (***Edit---SE has added pics, scroll down to view***) We hope to accomplish a few things with this blog: 1. Keep friends and family updated on all things Airey and Campbell 2. Share any special or cute photos we capture along the way 3. Keep in touch with other fellow bloggers and 4. Occasionally vent or brag about the Bulldogs or Cowboys after a hard fought win or devastating defeat



So that's that! Next blog to come soon and with pics I promise. Out.....

Go Dogs beat those Vols!

Go Cowboys beat those Rams!
