Father's Day/Ryan's B-Day/4th of July

So it has been a really long time since i have posted anything. We have been pretty busy and I have been forgetting to take pictures of things. Here are some pictures of us from the first time cole got in our pool to Ryan's 1st father's day to his birthday/4th of July party. Sorry it has been so long.

Here is the 1st time I took Cole in our pool. Sorry about my white fatness lol.

Cole loves to kick and splash around on the steps
He has a wet suit shirt on so he doesn't get too much sun exposure.

I never thought he would be such a little fish.

He did not like being in this floaty away from momma's arms!


Here we are waking Daddy up for his 1st father's day and breakfast in bed!

After breakfast cole wanted to wear his daddy's baseball hat from when he was a baby.

Here we are waking daddy up for the 2nd time on father's day. He was really tired and went back to sleep after his breakfast.

Then dada came downstairs and opened up his father's day card.

and his presents

We bought cole this monkey and he loves it and kisses it and plays with it all the time. It's soo sweet!

Here is one of ryan's father's day presents from us. So that we can do some hiking with cole.

I made Ryan dinner and home made Chocolate Chip Cheesecake with Chocolate Ganache topping. It was delicious!

The girl that lives behind us and I have become friends and her daughter Elizebeth is only 2 months younger than cole and they came over the other night and this is cole trying to kiss lizzie as she is trying to get away from him lol, and it starts!

So I went all out for our 4th of July celebration/Ryan's 25th birthday

Our families and some friends came and it was really nice. Here are Ryan's grandma's and my friend Kimmy in m kitchen.

Ryan's mom bought cole these monkey plates and he decided they were best used for monkey masks! While he was saying oo oo oo oo

I thought he was soo cute pretending to be a monkey and he thought he was cute 2 because he would just laugh.

Here are some more 4th of July decorations in my dining room

Ryan got some pretty cool gifts for his birthday. Some things for our pool! Lots of fun!

His parents got him a basketball/volleyball set for the pool.

Here is Cole in his wetsuit that has sunscreen in it sitting with his grandma in the pool watching daddy play volleyball

oh yeah and we got him a weed eater and edge trimmer lol very practical.The pool toys were a big hit

Looks like the boys were having lots of fun in there!

So then we had American Flag Birthday Cake

I hope you made a wish hunnyI think he liked his cake!Cole seemed to like the frosting!

We had a great time. We have been doing great and Cole is getting soo big. His first birthday is right around the corner August 9th. I'm excited yet sad that he is growing so fast. The house is coming together great and we are really happy living here. Ryan is working a lot but he really loves his job. I can't wait for next weekend to go see my brother get married!

Cole's New Hair

Here is my Baby Boy's First Hair Cut! I think he really likes it.

Daddy are you sure this looks good?

I didn't realize how long cole's hair was getting until I got it cut. I thought it would be fun for him to go to a kids cut place. He seemed to love it. He sat in a car and watched the other kids play on the big castle in the waiting room. All of the walls were painted really cute and there was Disney movies playing the whole time. Cole had a great time.

I was surprised at just how still and good he was being for the stylist. She kept saying how amazed she was that he was only 10months old because he seemed to mature and calm. he just watched her like what are you doing to me? No crying or anything!

Toward the end he was about done sitting still and was wanting to get down but he was still soo very good. Good Job Monkey!

I saved his hair clippings in a bag and a lot of his red was cut off. He looks so grown up now. I can't believe that he will be 1 year old in a little over 2 months! Time really goes by fast!

Daddy's Home and We're All Moved!

So we are all moved into our new house. Not everything is unpacked yet but that's coming along slowly but surely! Cole has been really trying to crawl but hasn't actually done it more than 1-3 crawl steps, so we are still waiting on that. We are both really glad to have ryan back for a short time.

These pictures are kind of out of order but here I am helping my dad paint my dining room!

Ryan decided to make a hat our or this big block that joli gave to cole and cole thinks this is hilarious!

Here is my dad showing me how to paint very carefully. I let him do all of it. Red is a scary color to paint with because it can really mess up your carpet and white trim!

Here is the Finished product which I am just soo very happy with! I love my red dining room!

I am not even close to being done decorating it though!

We have officially retired the swing! Because Cole thinks it's a great idea to try to bail out of it! Can you say Bye Bye Swing?

He is doing great with his cups

His hair was getting soo crazy!

As you can see Monkey is very happy to have his daddy home! I think daddy is happy to be home also!

Daddy is soo silly and Cole loves it!!!

So there are much more pictures to come (more updated ones) I will hopefully be able to put up a post on cole's new haircut tonight when he goes to sleep. He is sitting next to me screaming at me for attention right now. So I'm done for now! lol

I have Teeth!

Today was a lazy day. We just hung out at home and Cole watched his DVDs of his daddy and talked about Dada all day long and he played and I finally got him to let me take some pictures of his teeth he got a couple weeks ago!

Here are those bad boys! They're not completely in but they are getting close!

Here is Cole in the morning watching his DVD of Ryan reading books to him! Cole loves to sit in this chair(I know why) he was telling me all about his DADA while he was watching.


I gave him a crazy hair-do because I think it's hilarious how long his hair has gotten.

Here is the look he gave when his daddy DVD was finished! I don't think he was too happy about it being over because then he started to cry for Ryan.

But after a minute or 2 he was OK and then he let me get another picture of his sweet little teeth.

He was playing on his play-mat this evening and the weirdest thing about this mat is that the deer's head is crinkly sounding and it's only velcrowed to the deer's body so it comes off! It's so wrong that he deer gets beheaded all the time! Cole loves the mat though. So I look over at him and this is a place I've never seen the deer's head before! I was laughing my butt off!

These pictures got out of order this is Cole this morning still mad his daddy DVD was over!

Here he is tonight playing on his lovely mat! PITA would be so pissed if the knew about these children's play mat's lol We don't really care though.

Again here is the deer's head attached to Cole's diaper. I'm not sure how he did it but there is the deer's head on Cole's butt! ha ha ha

Well Cole and I had a pretty fun day just hanging out and playing together. No day is ever dull with Cole and I always wonder what he will do next. He continues to amaze me everyday!
