HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLE!!!

WHEN COLE WENT DOWN FOR A NAP THE LIVING ROOM WAS BARE AND WHEN HE WOKE UP....
FIRST WE OPENED PRESENTS.
CARS STICKERS.
THEN WE HAD CAKE!
COLE JUST ATE FROSTING, AND NOT OFF HIS PLATE HE LIKED IT BEST WHEN IT CAME RIGHT FROM THE TOP OF THE CAKE!

COLE HAD FUN! AFTER DINNER AND EVERYTHING WE TOOK COLE TO THE BEE MOVIE. WE WERE THE ONLY ONES THERE, IT WAS LIKE WE RENTED THE PLACE. COLE REALLY LIKED THE MOVIE AND ALL THE POPCORN TOO.

ALRIGHT SO I KNOW FALL HAS BEEN GONE FOR AWHILE BUT I WANTED TO POST MY BEAUTIFUL CENTERPIECE. WE DIDN'T CARVE PUMPKINS WE SHARPIED THEM.
HERE WE ARE SHOVELING SNOW AT CHRUCH, COLE WOULDN'T LEAVE THE CAR.
SPEAKING OF SHARPIE, YEP, NICE HUH?

COLE IN GYMNASTICS, WE COULDN'T GET A GOOD PICTURE.
COLE'S HEAD BONK.
THANKSGIVING, ALL COLE ATE WAS CRACKERS.
OUR GRAHAM CRACKER HOUSE. COLE ATE MORE CANDY THAN HE STUCK ON.
COLE DID MOST OF THE LANDSCAPING.

HALLOWEEN & STUFF

FIRST WE WENT TO THE ALERUS CENTER WHICH IS LIKE THE IDAHO CENTER FOR AN INDOOR HALLOWEEN THING. IT WAS 40 MINS. IN LINE AND 40 MINS. TO GET THROUGH BUT IT WAS WORTH IT! COLE HAD SO MUCH FUN, HE WENT FROM BOOTH TO BOOTH SAYING "PLEASE" (WE COULDN'T GET TRICK OR TREAT DOWN).
THEN WE WENT TRICK-OR-TREATING, WE MADE IT TO FOUR HOUSES BEFORE HE WAS DONE.
THEN WE WENT TO MCCDONALDS FOR A CHEESEBURGER! HERE HE IS AT THE DRIVE THROUGH.
THE LOOT.

COLE'S NEW BOOTS. AT TARGET THEY HAVE BOOTS FROM CIRCO BRAND THAT ARE RATED AT 10 BELOW FOR ONLY 14.99 I HAD TO GET THEM!

HANDS IN POCKETS (SORT OF).

Please pray for my uncle and aunt, Mike and Mary Garcia. They have been evacuated from their home becuase of the Harris fire in San Diego.

Matt and I went to MercyMe last night, it was awesome! Monk&Neagle and Aaron Shust were there also. They played at the Chester Fritz auditorium on campus literally 2 blocks away! Cole had a sitter (a girl I work with) and he did great!

Cole is growing up, he is signed up for gymnastics! Our first class is Nov. 8th, I am really excited! It will be good for him to be around other kids.

WE NEED JACKETS

Everyone, Matt and I need winter jackets. I don't want to spend what I spent on Cole on us. So I am looking for used ones. If anyone knows of someone that might have old or last year's (very warm) jackets to spare that would be willing to sell them to us let me know. I found out that they set up outdoor skating rinks all over the town and there is going to be one here on campus, I can get cheap skates at play-it-again sports, so Cole and I are going skating! Also Matt said he wants to take Cole sledding this winter.

AN ARM & A LEG TO PROTECT SOME ARMS AND LEGS!!!

Yesterday we went and got Cole his jacket and snowpants for this year, we spent 110.00 and that was 40% off!! Regular price was 165.00! I suppose he is worth it.

Matt got a 104% on his first math test!

I am now working at the Holiday Inn, OK so I am a flake! Cole and I went swimming this morning, they have a big pool with a little water park area and I can use it all I want! http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/1/en/hotel/gfknd;jsessionid=3UXREPU2WI3WICTGWANCJ0QKM0YBWIY4?_requestid=622835

Cole loves his Nascar racing night light Grandma and Grandad sent him!

Matt and Cole found a spider the other night, Cole says "Bug, bug, bug..." and then he hit it with his hand and killed it, poor "Bug."
