Mother's Day Weekend and More...

Hey everyone, and to all you Mom's I hope you had a WONDERFUL Mother's day.  My Mother's day was good, simple, but nice.  Saturday I took Cole to a Pet Expo at COC where I had read there would be pony rides and a petting zoo etc....It was not quite what I expected but he did, however, get to ride a pony and pet some cute animals.  He LOVED the pony ride, it was his first one.  Then we went and did some errands with my Mom, stopped at Old Navy and got him some very cute dinosaur board shorts that he decided he must have....Stopped in a Marshalls and got him another very cute Calvin Klein outfit and then off to Wal-Mart for some party favors for his birthday party that is coming up very soon.  Sunday we woke up and Sean and Cole gave me cards and some roses and we went to breakfast and then to the market to pick up a few odds and ends.  I had to go babysit at 2 but luckily I got off early....Cole spent the rest of Mother's day with his Grandma and Great Grandma while I was babysitting, since Daddy had a paper he had to write for school.  

On Tuesday I took Cole to the pool for the first time this summer.  He hasn't been in about 10 months or so!  I was a little nervous that he would be frightened but boy was I wrong!  He had a blast and thinks he knows how to swim and can just take off, ya...riiiight.  In a sense it is a very good thing that he is not afraid and is willing to jump right in, but if we aren't careful it could be very dangerous.  So I am taking him to the pool everyday now, trying to teach him how to swim, hopefully I go do it, otherwise swimming lessons here we come.  

Of course, I took photos of it all, so enjoy!  :-)  

What a Week...

Hello Everyone,

So as some of you may have (or may not have) heard Cole experienced a febrile seizure last Wednesday. He is doing fine now, the experience was more scary then anything else. We took him to spend a "Day with Thomas" [the tank engine] on Saturday b/c he had managed to keep his fever off for a full 36 hrs before hand. That was the only way we would take him, both Sean and I agreed. But he LOVED it! He had an absolute blast and I am so glad we were able to take him. He has a Dr.s appointment tomorrow just to make sure his ear infection and bronchitis has cleared up, hopefully it has.

Hope you all are doing well!

Take Care.

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend!  Sadly Cole woke up sick Saturday morning with a fever and runny nose and cough, but we made the best out of the weekend that we could.  We all went to visit Cole's great Grandma on Saturday and had lunch there, made a stop at Wal-Mart and picked up a birthday present for Cole and then came home and put the little guy to bed.  Sunday morning we all woke up and got showered, gave Cole some medicine to help him through the day and drove to Sean's Dad's and sister's house.  When we got there Auntie Sara had an Easter egg hunt set up for the boys, so the trucked around outside collecting eggs and afterwards getting their Easter baskets and goodies....We went and saw a movie all together, Monsters vs Aliens, it was very cute, and then once again we came straight home and put Cole back to bed.  He has a horrible dry cough which sounds so painful, it does make him cry....today he seems to be feeling a bit better, no fever at least....Still wont eat much.  What a weekend to get sick huh?  Oh well, we still had a good time, and I think Cole did as well...the medicine helped.  I hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend!  :-)

The Picture People

I took Cole to the Picture People last night to get his photograph taken, they did an AMAZING job and it was so difficult to chose from the photos the got.  When we first arrived there and I sat him on the couch he started to fuss, so I quickly scooped him up trying to avoid a major meltdown, and after that he was fine.  The gentleman who took Cole's photos was great with him, playing with him, throwing the balls back and forth between each other while snapping pictures in between...Cole had a great time, he must of thought it was a "very strange play date" but none the less had a good time....Here are some of the photos they managed to take....I got the full body one of him on his tummy in a 10x13 and also a few 4x6's of the one with Cole sitting on the wooden stool holding the baseball inbetween his legs....He looks like such a grown up in that photo.  *sniff sniff* my baby is growing up!  Here they are...Enjoy!  :-)
