Cole's First Bike Ride

Disney on Ice - Toy Story 3

Grammie & Papa gave us "Disney on Ice" tickets for Dawson's birthday. The big day finally arrived. It was an awesome show. Cole wasn't feeling well so he stayed home. The big boys loved it.


In the big city...


Getting ready for the show.


The view from our seats. It was awesome!

The Sam Davis Home

Caiden's first grade class took a field trip to the Sam Davis Home. I was able to go with them. It was educational and fun! But, I didn't take a picture of the actual "home."

Climbing on a huge stump.

Watching one of the crafters weave baskets.

Petting a chicken.

Friends.

Field Day 2010

Field Day at Caiden's school. So much fun.


Making a basket!


Balancing an egg


Pull...pull...pull

After this event, Caiden said, "That is way hard, Mom." I agree!

Happy #1 Birthday Cole!

Even though the day you arrived went without a hitch, oh I will forever remember the 9 months leading up to that. I knew already that you had spark, determination and a zest for adventure.


Your birth was much anticipated by many...but no more than two older brothers that adored you from the beginning. You are still affectionately known by many as "Baby Cole" and have earned the nickname of "Colie" from your biggest brother, Caiden.


You are always on the move. You enjoy climbing on top of things and of course, you love the outdoors.


Your infectious grin doesn't go unnoticed by anyone. And, your "mohawk" hairdo gets a lot of attention. You are certainly making yourself known in our family. We are all still trying to figure out exactly who you look alike, mommy or daddy?


We can't wait to see what God has in store for you in the years ahead. But, for now, can you just stop climbing up the stairs?
Much love and Birthday wishes...Mommy & Daddy

Dawson's a Knight

This is Dawson's first season playing baseball. He is our town's Smart Start program. He's having a great time learning and playing the game. The team his is on is named the Knights.

Here's the two baseball-playing brothers.

Visiting the Hayes Property

Our friends, Josh & Amy own some property on the Dickson/Cheatham County line. We went out there a few weekends ago to check it out. Very peaceful...beautiful country. The boys had fun too.




Dale looks so tall in this picture.


Dawson loved the creek.

A classic Cole smile.

Caiden loved exploring.

Meeting Shannon Ruth

The girls in our family (my mom, gram, sister and niece) came to visit us for a weekend in September. This was the first time Shannon Ruth had been to our house. This was also the first time the boys were able to meet her. Of course, they loved her...here are the pics to prove it!
