Sunday was a great Family day for us.  Stu brought us doughnuts on his way home.  Cole had his new favorite, chocolate with sprinkles :)  On Valentine's Day Stu let Cole pick out his doughnut at Dunkin Donuts and that is what he picked out.  I think it is his new favorite now.  We got ready for church and I couldn't get over how cute and OLD Cole looked.  I need to freeze time because he is changing so fast!

Of course getting him to actually take a picture was a little harder than I wanted it to be, but I have fingers crossed he will at least cooperate at our maternity pictures soon.  After church we played for awhile and then went out in the woods for a family walk.  I love how Cole feels the need to bring his gun out there.  I think we have scared quite a few kids that were walking on the trail when Stu and I are holding the gun.  We walked on the trail, threw rocks in the water, threw rocks for Bo and took a couple of rest breaks along the way.  Cole is getting so brave.  He wants to walk on the bridge all by himself now and tries to lower himself down which scares the heck out of me!  After our walk, we played in the backyard because it was a gorgeous day.  Stu and Cole jumped on the trampoline for awhile and I just sat and watched them cracking up at them. 

Later, I went to WalMart by myself (which is rare) and then we enjoed the rest of our night together as a family.  I love the nights that we spend at home together just hanging out. 
I had a doctor appointment on Monday.  Conner is finally starting to grow like Cole.  Over the last three visits, he has grown about a 1/2 week bigger each time.  Today I measured 33 weeks and tomorrow I will be 32 weeks so he is about a week big.  I asked if we needed to worry about newborn clothes  and the doctor said "I don't think so"  with a big smile on her face.  She said she thinks he will be big like his  brother so we will see.  When I came home Grandpa Lee was at our house so we could visit and go to dinner.  We ate at Kotoyama and it was SOOOO good.  Cole loves the hibachi rice there.  He tried using the kid chopsticks, but I think more ended up in his lap than his mouth :)  Afterwards, we all visited at the house (and I passed out on the couch for awhile  LOL).  Cole had a good time with Grandpa Lee :)

I am happy because this is Stu's kelly week so we will get to spend a lot of time together as a family...I need more family walks so I can have my pint of rainbow sherbert every night...okay not every night, but close to it!

Busy day

I have been meaning to start a blog for awhile now.  I love to read everyone else's and am always so envious of how they post everyday.  Since my new little man will be here in about 7 weeks, I decided I needed to start this for sure.  I know once he gets here our already busy life is going to become even busier and I want to remember what is going on.  Since my scrapbooking time is already close to nonexistent, this is going to become my scrapbook.  This may be something that only my mom, mother in law, and sister in law read, but at least I know I am recording the important moments in our lives for us.

Today Stu had to work and Cole and I had a REALLY busy day.  Cole is literally growing out of clothese every month.  It is crazy how fast we are buying new pants and shorts.  We bought him size 4 shorts from the boys department at Target the other day and I couldn't even get close to closing them.  We went to return the shorts and of course had to get some other "necessitites" while we were there.  Then we went to Kohl's where I hit the jackpot on shorts for Cole.  They are elastic waist and are a 5/6 in big boys.  It makes me sad that I can't shop in the toddler department anymore.  He is truly a big boy now.  After Kohls, we went to great Granny and Papaw's where he had the best time of his day I am sure.  Granny made him mashed potatoes with bacon and had trash, dr. pepper and apples for him too.  He for sure isn't going to starve over there.  Papaw introduced him to walky talkys which Cole thought were the coolest.  We played outside a lot and just talked.  I enjoy these moments with my grandparents so much.  I have been so blessed to have them as my grandparents.  Today was expecially nice because I was able to have some one on one time not only with my grandma, but my grandpa too.  I didn't get many pictures, because Cole is not really into posing for the camera, but the two I did get are pretty good of granny and papaw. 

After granny and papaw's we went to megan's to bring her birthday present and gavin his christmas present (sad I know!).  Cole had a good time playing with Gavin.  I can't wait until Cole, Gavin and Conner are old enough to run around together.   We visited Stu at the station and then stopped at McDonald's for dinner (cole's request).  I am excited for tomorrow because we are going to finally go to church here in town.  We are hoping to make this our church because we both feel very strong about raising the boys in a church. 
AND we get to start our morning off with doughnuts so the day is already just about perfect :)
