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"

Having fun at Dawson's 2nd birthday party!

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

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!

Hi guys! Its me SE again, Roger has been swamped at work with the new year, so i am filling in again! Well Merry Christmas and Happy New year! Wow, I cant believe that 2008 is gone! It has been an amazing ride this year with Airey being a toddler, starting walking, talking, and amazing us with his personality! We found out last Christmas Morning our new little one was one the way.....On August 14th the suspense was over, It's a Boy! Campbell our new son is growing so fast, he is 4 1/2 months old and a spitting image of his big bro. We are so truly blessed to have an amazing marriage, precious healthy children and loving family and friends. We  had a fun year celebrating our anniversary in Florida (18 wks prego, too bad i couldn't have a daiquiri on the beach!). We got to see the last game ever at Texas Stadium, We tailgated for the Bulldogs (God bless them they were terrible this year!). We found out we will be aunts and uncles again (yay Katie and Ed!). Got to boat at Uncle Terry's for the 4th!,Watch friends say their wedding vows and begin new lives together. Cherish the amazing husband and best friend i get to spend the rest of my life with.Have lots of fun get togethers with the family and friends and learn a lot of good lessons along the way with "What to expect when you have two kids under 2!" We have enjoyed each and every second of this year and cant wait to see what 09 brings. Airey will be 2 in 9 days and we cant believe how fast it goes...."Savor each second" is what everyone always says.....but SO TRUE! My oh my our life is flying by!
