Haircuts and Happenings

The crew at the Rendezvous for Rogers 32nd bday!

Campbell having a Meltdownn at his 1stt haircut, awww :(

ALL done! Yay! sucker in hand :)

Well I had to bite the bullet and go get Campbell's haircut for the 1st time. I have nevr had to take Airey because since its curly I can trim it myself and you cant tell if I mess up, haha. Well, Campbell had a full on MELTDOWN, he wanted no part of bribery i.e. suckers, treats or anything! He wanted no cape, and no scissors near him! Eventually he sat in my lap and with his head on my chest for her to give him a sweet bowl cut. Enjoy these pics!

My sweet better half celebrated his 32nd birthday on Tuesday and we had friends and fam to the Rendezvous for Rog's annual FULL order of ribs! Thanks Pops and Kitty for a great dinner! I made my 1st homemade cake (a fishing bobber!) Turned out pretty cute, even though a few thought it was a christmas ornament (now thats an idea for later....) We also celebrated the big day by going to the river with Pops and Kitty and Rog and his Dad, got to go out Saturday with Matt Milner, a great fishing guide in Heber( check his blog on my page-FISH ON) and they "tore up" rainbows and browns! Happy Birthday my love! We wish you a great year and many happy more to come!

catching up

we had a fun filled weekend of catching up with friends! Saturday the Johnston's had us over for some football and chili along with the Van Epps. The 6 boys had a blast together and Im sure Brian and Kristy are STILL cleaning up the mess that ran room to room! We enjoyed catching up with the adults while the boys enjoyed playtime and had my "pink" pumpkins for dessert....long story....of course I buy food coloring to make orange pumpkin cookies.....and of course it somehow doesn't make it into the pantry....and of course I find it as soon as I used the only food coloring I had "red" to make pumpkins.....haha....story of my life! Sorry about getting off track....back to the weekend. Sunday we had the Pattersons over to grill out and see our Godson Gray and his lil sis Hazey :) Boy did Gray, Airey and Campbell have a great time squealing and chasing each other all over the house! Hayes was so sweet and is just getting bigger by the second. Campbell is SO close to walking now that he had to play catch up all weekend with the big boys, so it wont be long :) Great catching up with our old "highpoint" friends over a great bottle of wine and good convo. Until next week.....Take care....love, the cole patrol!

the cousins

Airey and his goggles painting! He is crafty like Mama!

airey and jack with the nerds!

side hug only, haha

hello to all! We had a fun visit this past weekend from my brother and his fam! Jack and Joey had so much fun playing with Airey and Campbell and boy did Campbell keep up! I was so impressed. Jack even to got sleep in airey's room with him and they actually fell out about 10pm. I would check on them and they were in their beds... but talking to each other until then, sooo cute :). We cooked out after the boys went down and enjoyed hearing all about my bro's new restaurant Champy's and all they they have been up to. I babysat Monday so Seth and Crissy could go to meet friends and I was impressed how well I handled all 4 of them for 4 hours, LOL everyone survived! The boys played in the cove and rode Joey's dirt bike, the golf cart, and our mini 4 wheeler was a hit too. It is just amazing to see them all grow up together and just love each other so much, reminds me of being little and how much I enjoyed my cousins :). Campbell is now saying "Moooo" for a cow and "Tweet" for a bird and says Mama and Dada all the time. He points to his nose now which is so cute because in Campbell fashion he puts his finger UP his nose when he points. Airey is busy being independent and learning how to challenge us for sure. He is obsessed with riding(aka) pushing his bike, he cant quite pedal but he loves it anyway. He sings all the words to Big Green Tractor which cracks us up and also loves The Fireman by George Strait (but has to wear his fire helmet to sing it). He bosses Campbell around saying "Do you hear me-Campbell!" The best lately was Uncle Seth said "Hold your Horses" to him wanting candy and Airey burst into tears....."I WANT THE HORSES, I WANT THE HORSES......HILARIOUS! We all fell out on that one! He got some binoculars from Pops and is now a bird-watcher which is adorable and is loving to paint like mommy. Enjoy the weekend! Take care! A special HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR GODSON GRAY today!!!! We love you GRAY! Have a Happy day!!!

buddies with Bully

MY men!!!!

enjoying playtime at The Junction

going deep......

I took the boys on Friday to see the new Teton Trek and this is right before he ran into it and I had to buy at new wardrobe at the gift shop, LOL

We took the boys to their 1st together Bulldog game this past weekend. We had to rival with the Shelby's since Jason went to GT, Bon -MSU and Rog MSU.....and well we all know how that ended....but we had a great time :) The boys loved playing football at the tailgate and playing with all the other kiddos. They really surprised us how well they did all day and and with no nap, they even made it through the 1st quarter, whoo! Airey was obsessed with his Pom-pom and watching every move Bully made! He is still talking about BULLY. We may have even turned a corner on CJC hating his car seat b/c he and airey slept the whole ride home, hooray! They are just becoming best friends and enemies as brothers should. They love to love and also have started to love to fight and take each others things! Im sure I am in for it being a mother of two boys, but love every minute :). Campbell is cruising and wanting to keep up with Airey so I know it want be long b/f I am chasing too.....as Mam-Maw said "Lord help ME!" Life is great and we hope all is well with our followers! Until next time......

lately...

the baptism

hey to yall, as I like to say! Sorry it been a while since a family post, so here we go with the cole family breakdown. We have been in town and have been enjoying this amazing weather! We celebrated our newest addition to the fam "Baby Cole" as Airey calls him, baptism this past weekend with all the Thomas klan! Roger is the Godfather so we are so proud he can lead his name sake to a life of always loving and looking to the Lord :) We took the boys to play putt putt and we made a trip to the zoo to see the new Teton trek which was fun until Airey decided to rush into the geyser of water and had to buy a change of clothes in the Zoo gift shop, hahaha....We have grilled out a lot and enjoyed the nice weather. We dined out at Jarretts with the Shelbys and caught up and shared a bottle of fine wine (thanks POPS!). I surprised Roger Thursday night with a covert operation that started with meeting the girls for margarita's at Salsa (which was fun!) but i exited early and Pops and Kitty were in on the plan and were the "babysitters in waiting"/"visiting" Roger thought. I came back and walked in a said "change clothes put on your boots" and I will give you more clues on the way, then as we got closer I asked "where did we meet"....his response "we are going to NEWBYS!".....right....then next clue (even though he missed it) was Charlie Robison playing on the itouch the whole way there! So i played our song El Cerito place that he sings and said "how would you like to hear our song live?" HE WAS SHOCKED! Loved the priceless excitement on his face :) I said Happy Early Birthday! So we went to see Charlie, but after 3 hours he was sooooo late, we had to head home :( We got to see a cool opening act and share cold beer and play darts, but never got to hear Charlie......BOOO But we had a blast being together and We will CATCH him next time hopefully! We are headed to Starkvegas tomorrow to root on the Bulldogs and take the boys to their 1st game live! Cowbell here we come!
