Happy Birthday Scott and Cole!

We had a fun filled weekend to celebrate Scott and Cole's birthday.

Birthday morning. Birthday donut for Cole.

Our special 7 year old

He is very excited about turning 7. He woke up right out of sleep and said, "I'm 7!"

Birthday Boys

We celebrated Scott's birthday Saturday night. Sondra, Sonny and Morgan came into town. I made him a homeade apple pie and homeade ice cream.

Cole is very into Pokemon these days, so naturally he wanted a Pokemon party. I made pokeball cookies for party bags.Cole and Myrik

Pokemon cake. The characters are toys.

First Day of First Grade

Finally here are pictures of our big first grader. He had a great first and second week. He's not always happy about going, but he is walking in all on his own. He enjoys his days.

Cole painted this paint by number picture for his teacher. He really enjoyed painting it. The day before school started he said "I'm actually getting kind of excited." This is a BIG step for him.

Better Late Than Never

Here are pictures of Cole's last week of Kinder. I just never sat down to put them on the blog. I wanted to get them posted before I added his first day of first grade.

Cole and his teacher Mrs. Pulley. We just loved her. She made it a great first year.

Jaden, Cole and Tyler. The last day party was a luau theme.

Field Day pictures. They set up lots of different activities for the kids. Adam and I went and helped. It was fun.

Justin, Cole and Tyler

This was their awards ceremony.

They all received medals for being good friends and good helpers.

Milestones

Here are a few milestones the boys experienced months ago and I am just now getting pictures posted.

Cole lost his other front tooth just after school was out. He was never without both front teeth, which I think would have been pretty cute. His other grew in before he lost it.

Adam learned to ride a bike without training wheels! Back in April, he was watching a Dora the Explorer episode where Boots learns to ride his bike. Adam immediately wanted to try. I literally helped him three times and he took off.

Below are videos of him riding.
This video I took with my phone that first day he wanted to learn to ride. It was taken on

Football Camp

Cole and his friend Christian went to Rebel football camp a few weeks ago. He absolutely loved it. He is so excited to play football and be a Rebel like his Dad.

The pictures are so far away, butif you click on the pic it will get larger. You can see the determination on his face.

The last day the head coach presented them each with a t-shirt.

Cole and Christian

Below are a couple of videos of Cole at camp. A few misteps, but he did really good. The few videos I did take had him falling down:(.
