Happy Birthday to Me!

So, I turned 31 yesterday....old, I know...and weird to be that old. But nonetheless, it was a great day. We grilled burgers and had a new dessert (which is the main reason for this entry!). It was a chocolate Pavlova. SO TASTY! And, not too bad for you! Only 7.5 points all you WW people out there!


It was such a nice day and good birthday, if only Cole weren't sick (Yup...sick again...croup this time.). Maybe next year...

New Suit

So, my awesome friend Lexy found 2 darling Sunday outfits for Cole on clearance at Target. She snagged them for me (what a good friend!) and look how cute little Cole is in his seersucker suit!!!! And for $6! And no, it doesn't bother me that 3 other boys at church had the same out fit on that same Sunday.... :)

Mother's Day 2010

We had a great Mother's Day today! It was simple and relaxed and we loved it! It was fun to have Grandpa with us all day long (and even at church! Which was announced by Cole screaming "DADA!!" during sacrament meeting!). Jon and Grandpa made a tasty steak dinner for us and even did the dishes. :)

It is fun to be living here with two moms. The celebration was double the fun! We also were able to go to Great Grandma Dunning's house and celebrate with Oma and Great Grandma. It is nice to be so close to family.

It is the best being a mom. Last year, I think I was still getting used to the idea of having a baby, but this year it's awesome! We have the best little boy!

Family Pictures

In April, we finally got family and Cole's "one year" (actually 14 months!) pictures taken. Jeanine took them and they turned out awesome! Take a look at some of Cole's shenanigans!

Sick Boy

So, I gave Cole (AND GRANDMA!!) my nasty cold that I had on Easter. It has been horrible. So, we took Cole to the Doctor yesterday and he has a double ear infection and has to be on a nebulizer 3 times a day to help him breathe. And on top of it, his K9 teeth are coming through. Yikes.

It makes me sad, but he is the best little boy ever. He just lets us strap on that mask and breaths in the albuterol for 8 minutes without moving or pulling off the mask. He is an amazing kid. Makes me scared to have any more.... :)

Tickle Tickle Tickle

Cole loves to tickle peoples feet. The whole time he does it, he says, "tickle tickle tickle tickle!" It is the cutest thing! Then he expects you to tickle him back! But if you are doing something else, he will tickle his own feet sometimes! (Don't get freaked out by Jon's crazy toes!)

First Fake Smile

Here is one of Cole's first fake smiles. I love it!



He also thought it might be a good idea to get inside his toy box. Hmmmm...
