The Boys first sleepover!

Tonight we had the boys best friends Kale and Tyler over to spend the night. They live in the neighborhood and they are totally unseperable! They were so excited and so far it has gone really good. I am sure this will be the first of many.

Catching Fireflys!

Tonight Riley spent the night with us and the boys had so much fun. Our sweet neighbors Kathy and Rich had bought the kids bug kits to catch fireflys every night. Riley was so excited to join in the fun. We stayed out late, ate popcorn and then they all crashed. Of they did have to be little comedians with the nets on their heads... that's my boys!

Dylan finally getting to be a big boy.
Hunter enjoying sleeping late!

We have been staying very busy since school got out. Here are a few pictures just for update. It is always something going on at the Cole House!!!

Lake Lake Lake

As you can see we spend almost every weekend at the lake. It is the kids favorite thing to do... they never get tired of it. I think they look forward all week long to spending the weekend on the lake!

Tucker's First lake trip

Today Tucker got to go on his first lake trip. He loved it. He dug in the sand and jumped right in the water... not scared at all. He is pretty tuckered out tonight!

2 months already

I cannot believe that Dylan is already 2 months old. He was almost 10 lb last week at the doctor so he has passed that now I am sure. He loves his brothers and sister.. they keep him very entertained. Everybody still says he looks like Tom.. I think so too.

Summertime!!

It was time for the slip'n'slide this week with it being so hot.. the kids love it. We will see how long it last with all their friends on it also... I give it until the end of the week and it will be in a million pieces!

A new addition

Today the boys got their first puppy.Of course we have always had dogs but they have never been around a puppy. They were very excited. We don't have a name for HIM yet but if you have any good ideas let us know!

Awards Day

We are so proud of Hunter for receiving the handwriting award today for first grade. He did wonderful the whole year and ended the year with perfect grades. Tom and I are just wondering where he gets all the brains from...

Race Day

Tom took the boys to the race last Saturday night and they had so much fun. They had their picture made with Dale Jr's car and were so excited.

Girl Time

Carleigh and I got a little girl time today which I loved. I took her to get a haircut and then we went shopping at Old Navy. We went to get flip flops and ended up with much much more than that. How can you say no when it is your only little girl!

Happy Birthday Mrs.Grice!

Hunter's teacher had her birthday yesterday and Hunter was so excited to make a 40 shirt! We had a party for her with a big 40 cake and balloons. Hunter has really loved Mrs.Grice this year and is going to miss her alot!

Field Day!

Hunter's best friend Hunter Morgan.

Shoebox Slide

Today was Field Day for Hunter and we had so much fun. Chase went with me and of course he got to join in the fun. The class ended their day wrapping Mrs. Grice as a mummy which they thought was the best!

Sacked Out!!

What more can I say ... they love their Daddy and they love to snuggle with him.

Riding with Daddy

Chase was so excited today to go riding with his Daddy. He doesn't get much alone time with Tom so it was a treat. When it came to the jumps he was not sure. My little dare devil turned shy and stared at the hill for a while before Tom finally got him to go down. It was so cute to see from a distance Tom trying to convince him and Chase shaking his head no.

Now that is RELAXATION!!!

Dylan was snuggling with his Daddy on the couch today and when Tom got up Dylan did not even move. He was obviously very comfortable and actually slept that way for awhile.

6 weeks

It is hard to believe that Dylan is already 6 weeks. He went to the doctor this week and now weights 8lb 6oz and has grown an inch. He is starting to smile and coo and REALLY loves his Meme! The kids love how he is starting to interact a little more and now they are ready for him to get up and move!

This morning I walked in to find Hunter reading to his brothers and sister. It was the cutest thing ever! They were all piled together and actually were getting along! I wish they would get along like that all the time. Needless to say 5 minutes later Carleigh was throwing the book at Chase and Dylan was crying and all the normal started back. Oh well it was great for a little while.

Daddy's Girl!

Pool Time

I finally broke out the pool today and let the kids swim. The water was freezing but they did not seem to mind. Hopefully we can talk Daddy into a real pool soon!!!!
