Look at me! I learned to Sit up!

Airey is excited Campbell is on his level now!

I can sit up!

Well Campbell turned 6 months on Sunday and had his 6 month shots Wednesday :( but actually he cries harder about being in the car seat than he did about the shots....He must really HATE the carseat! He is 16 lbs and 3 oz 50% for weight and  75% for height b/c he is 26 and 3/4 in tall. Hopefully got some of the height from my side. He is sitting up great and playing with Airey much easier now! Enjoy the pics!

Valentines Week!

Kitty and all her grandsons!

Pops and all the grandkids!

Valentines week was a blast! We started out by having Kitty and Pops over Tuesday night for a fun family V-day dinner. We kept Lewis so that Kt and Ed could go out and celebrate Aunt Katie's birthday. The boys had so much fun playing "Hop on Pop" and Snuggle with Kitty. They love for Kitty to read them Elmo books! 

Friday afternoon was a delight to say the least! For Valentines day Roger took 1/2 a day off and sent me to the spa for facials, massage and mani and pedi. I felt like a new woman! I kept telling Roger my body after two kids needed a tune up and a tune up I got! Wow, i hadn't felt that rejuvenated in a while, thanks honey, I LOVE YOU!

Saturday it was GiGi and Mimi's turn in town and they kept the boys for the night so that Roger and I could go to Nashville to celebrate valentines day! Thanks again G'mama's! The boys had so much fun playing w/ all their Valentines gifts too! Airey especially loved his "toad-ally hot frog!"

We left out Sat. am and had bloody mary's and lunch at the Merchants Grill and then on the wander around downtown Nashville. We picked up the boys matching Red cowboy boots, soooo cute! We saw lots of fun live country music in the Music City and had a great dinner at The Palm! Yummy steak and Molten Lava Cake, mouth watering! Sunday we were sad... b/c we were going to meet up w/ Matt and Amy, but Mom's Car broke down and we had to cancel to get back to figure out what the problem was, luckily Adam Patterson OUR HERO, came out to fix Mom's car and boosted it off by pouring a coke on it???? He is a handyman! He got her going and on Autozone to replace her battery and home safe! Thanks Adam and Em! Crazy stuff like that always happens when you go out of town.....lol! It reminded us how lucky we are to have such great friends and family that you can always count on! The Daytona 500 was the rest of Sunday....Boo hoo ended on a rain delay, bummer! 

TODAY is BIG NEWS! Campbell turned 6 mths yesterday and started sitting up this morning!!! He can go about a 40 seconds or so, then tumble, by the time I get a camera, he falls...haha! 

We hope everyone had a HAPPY VALENTINE WEEKEND!

Zoo here we come!

Airey playing tickle w/ his Godbrother Gray

Polar Bear are too "cool"!

Rog w/ Airey and his Godfather Adam and our Godson Gray!

The Whole Family at the Memphis Zoo

The Zoo is Airey's new favorite place on earth! He finally knew what was going on now that he knows the names of all his animals from Diego and his favorite book Goodnight Gorilla, which on a side note, when we saw the Gorilla he was actually sleeping and Airey said "night night gorilla "(in a whisper) TOO CUTE! Then in the book the Zoo keeper tells all the animals Goodnight, so thats what Airey did, ha! We met up w/ the Patterson crew and got to spend time w/ our Godson Gray. He is getting so big and loves for you to chase him, giggle giggle! Campbell napped and took it all in, still a little young to get it, but he had fun none the less. Airey has been telling us all day what animals he saw and he wants to go back ASAP! 

After the zoo, we took Airey to the Build a Bear workshop, which if you have never been you HAVE to go! They get to pick their own bear/animal shell and put a heart inside and stuff him themselves! Then they Bathe them, dress them, and get to name them on the kiddy computers to make their birth certificate. Airey of course after the zoo picked out a Tiger and named him rarrrrr)xxx9 from Liechtenstein (no thats not a typo, like i said they get to do it themselves!) We bought Tiger his very own umbrella stroller and Airey strolled him all over the mall, he is a good daddy! They even have a Bear Bjorn for Airey to carry Tiger on his chest like Dada carries Campbell, too funny!

Roger and I had a date night Monday when Pops and Kitty came to play with the Boys, so we headed to Cafe Piazza, and wine was consumed! We had fun talking about our great life and how lucky we are! We love just catching up on life, its hard to do w/ the two boys running around. I also got to catch up on girl time too! Friday night Marybeth came into town and we met Bon and Hallie for some downtown Spindindi action (again wine was consumed!) I love hanging w/ the girls! Roger had his monthly guys night (Beer and lots of BEER was consumed!) Wednesday and the boys had fun at Jeff's cooking out and talking about the wife and kids I'm sure.....Right boys???? haha!

WE HAVE A NEW NEPHEW on the way! Katie and Ed found out this week that Lewis will have a baby brother! Imagine that: another boy, haha! The Cole/Champion/Thomas family knows the recipe for boys! We have a golf foresome! My brother also has two boys, so we have a football team! Where are the cheerleaders?  Shout out to our dear friends Jason and Bonnie Shelby who will welcome their 1st baby in Sept! We cant wait to meet Baby Shelby!

 Hope you all have a great week! 

Lots of love,

The Coles and our newest member "Tiger"

Little Red River Here We Come!

Having fun at Dawson's 2nd birthday party!

Airey taking in the River view!

Pops and Dada took Airey to see the trumpeter swans! Really cool! They all honked together and it sounded just like trumpets!

Airey showing his Bulldog Spirit

For some reason when it snowed Airey got the weed eater out, then tried to mow the yard....shows how little we get snow, ha!

Well we have had a great and crazy week. The Saturday b/f last we had Dawson Hopping's 2nd birthday party which was so much fun! They rented out Prairie Life, the boys couldn't get enough of the all the balls. Then as Sunday came along Campbell got sick :(! We think he is starting to develop asthma of some sort, not sure....we have been on breathing treatments and steroids, not fun for poor Campbell. So we were on lock down all week, but the snow added some needed outdoor fun for Airey! He thought he had to groom the snow, hence the weed eater and mowing, ha! Then Friday Roger kept the boys so Mom could have a fun girls lunch (and we did, we covered it all from Jessica's weight gain to the latest fashion, a little husband gossiping and moved on to what all Mom conversations make their way to......what are the kids doing or not doing, and whats working....etc...You Moms know..Then Friday Night got together for more Girl time at Carley Jackson's birthday par-tay! Too fun! Loved catching up w/ old friends over a glass of wine.

Saturday morning we headed to Heber Springs,AR where Pops and Kitty have found a house for the whole fam to enjoy on the weekends and holidays...and can i just say it is something out of a magazine! It is breathtaking....everything....the house.....the view....the river....even the quaint porch with the rocking chairs (which is Rogers dream porch!) We are so excited about the Little Red River, they have so much to do! We love to trout fish and Heber also has a huge lake and plenty for the boys to explore! The town is so cute! Coffee shops, little theatre and all the local restaurants look amazing! We have found our home away form home!

Super Bowl Sunday was low key....the boys tired from the trip and we were too, made rotel and vegged out for the game....sad AZ lost, but a great game....couldn't make it up for the Office so we have that on tap for tonight! 

Until next time! Ciao!
