In photos...

Cole's First Christmas...

and first snow, all in one day!!! :)

Loving the big green ball! Almost as big as he is!!

With his Auntie Cacie! :) She loves him soo much!

Us on New Years!!! Looking fly in his tuxedo shirt! :)

I promise to update soon!! Just been soo busy with holidays and the hubby leaving again!!

Over-achiever!!

Yes, ladies and gentleman, we have an OVER-ACHIEVER on our hands... Why you might ask?? Well, my tiny little guy has his first tooth ALREADY!!! Can you believe it?? At 4.5 months, Cole has already cut his first tooth.. I personally cannot believe it.. I though babies do not do this until atleast 6 months, if not later... Ohh.. And what fun it has been!!! Atleast now we know why he is not sleeping through the night.. I have been trying my hardest to get a smile where the tooth is visible, but have yet to be successful.. I shall keep trying!!

On another note.. Tomorrow is Hubs' BIG day!! He receives his wings!!! Thats right, he will officially be a rated, Air Force Pilot!!! Yay!!! :) And look at what a friend of ours dad made for Cole:

Its a polo with his name and Air Force and rank on it.. It soo cute!! :)

And just a few more of Little Cole for fun!! :)

Sitting up all by himself!


First time out of him infant tub.. Loving the water!!

Reading books in his high chair...


Helping daddy text.. Learning early!! :)

Hope everyone is ready for the holidays!!! We're moving on Monday!! Yay!!

Shots are no fun...

I know I have been a little distant lately.. We have been very busy!!! We had birthdays, trips to Dallas for Thanksgiving and one little boy who does not like to sleep!! And on top of that Cole had the second part of his 4 month shots yesterday... And today, he is not feeling very well.. Poor baby.. He has a temperature and his a little fussy... So I will be spending my day taking care of my little guy.. And try to get the house clean and start packing to move home!! Yippeee!!!

My mom got Hubs and I a new camera for our birthdays!! I was so excited when she surprised us with it!! I had just been saying over Thanksgiving that I wanted one.. So I am trying to learn how to use it!! :)

Here are a few pictures from the new camera...

Finally caught a smile from Cole! :)

Had to get one with my guys!

Look at what he learned to do!!! 4 months and already sitting by himself!! He is growing up too fast!!

I promise to update again soon.. Its going to be a busy next few weeks!! Hubs is graduating from the UPT program and going to officially get his Wings from the Air Force!!! One step closer to his dream!! And before then though, we will be moving out of our house (hopefully)!! Then right after graduation we'll be saying BYE BYE to Middle of Nowhere, Tx and HELLO HOME!!! Just in time for CHRISTMAS!!! Hard to believe!! :)

Funny how things change in JUST 1 year....

One year ago today we were just settling into out home in the Middle of Nowhere, Tx.. Hubs was getting ready to start one of the toughest years of his life, Pilot Training for the Air Force... And one year ago today, I had this feeling that our life was about to change.. It was the day we found out we were getting one of the BIGGEST surprises and blessing in the world.. Our little boy!! The picture that started it all:



Today, Hubs is officially UPT complete, meaning he is done academically and with all flights in pilot training.. IE.. He gets his "wings" soon!!! We are also getting ready to pack up our house and move back to Georgia!! And our little man is growing like a weed!!

Even with all the sleepless nights, and fussy moments, I would not trade anything in the world for this little smile!! :)



Yes, it was even before Thanksgiving when we found out.. We just waited about a month to tell everyone when we went home for Christmas!! :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful week and is ready for Thanksgiving!!!

Busy boy..

Not too much to update everyone on.. But we have been very busy around here.. Cole and mommy just spend our days playing and learning new things... Some days are good and we play all day, and some days he just wants to be held.. But those days are good for me because I get to cuddle with my little guy!!

He still is not sleeping through the night, so we decided to try rice cereal for the first time... Here was his reaction...


So we have not tried again yet.. And it didn't help him sleep any better... So, I decided I would wait a little while longer... Maybe even try oatmeal next time..

On Saturdays, we LOVE to watch College Football!! And that means Cole too! We figured out that on Saturdays when the TV is on, he is more interested in watching the TV than playing with us.. So we tried him in his bumbo seat and see what he would do.. This was it:

He's definitely going to be a sports fan!!

This is just a cute picture I wanted to share... Cole didn't know what to think about having something on his head...

He is getting soo big!! Here he is in his Lamb seat.. This thing used to put him right to sleep! Now, he just stands on it...

Last night, I got Cole all dressed up and took him with me to one of the wives socials with a friend.. Wanted to give daddy some quiet time to study!! He looked like a little man!! He was definitely a hit at the social!

Like I said, not much going on here.. Hubs is almost done with training.. I am soo excited for him!! One step closer to his dreams! We have Cole's 4 month appointment on Monday and more shots.. Definitely dreading it!! But I will be sure to update everyone on how big this little guy is getting!!

So excited for next week.. Birthdays, Thanksgiving and we are headed to Dallas!! Yay!!

The next month has so much going on!! Once we get back from Dallas, we have a bunch of stuff going on for Hubs' graduation and then the big move back home!!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!!

Has it really been a year??

So, this past weekend Hubs and I got into a conversation with a couple of our friends and realized it has been a year since we moved to Middle of Nowhere, Tx!!! Can you believe it??? It really is hard for me to believe... I feel like we have been here for a while, but not THAT long... Wow, how time flies and things change....

Us then.... Young married, in love and moving away from everything we knew...

The morning we left to head to Texas!!

Celebrating Hubs's birthday and beginning his dream, finally!!

Thanksgiving in Dallas 2009!

And us now, 1 year later... A family of 3, and enjoying life... :)

Adjusting to life as a family of 3... Just a few weeks after the little guy was born!

Look at what daddy does for a living! :)

Cole's first Halloween!

Crazy how fast things change!! But I would not change a moment of my life!! Things are beginning to wind down here in Middle of Nowhere, Tx!!! We only have about a month and a half left here!! Basically we'll be home be Christmas!!! Not sure yet how long Hubs will be home after that.. But we are going to enjoy every moment with Daddy! :)

Hope everyone is having a great week!!!

Fun filled weekend!

Just wanted to share a few pictures from this past weekend!

We spent Saturday doing what we love most, watching Auburn Football!! It was a great game!! Although for some reason, Oregon jumped us and we are now Number 2! But that's ok!!

Sunday we lounged around during the day.. Then we dressed Cole up as a pumpkin and helped pass out candy with some of our friends! We had a good time!! I was soo excited to see all the cute costumes! I cannot wait to take Cole trick or treating when he is old enough!

Look what Cole learned to do on his bouncy seat... :) He can make it bounce by himself, he gets soo excited!! :)

Ready to watch Auburn!

Fall Family picture.. Cole was not very interested!

Trying to get a picture of our little pumpkin and some pumpkins... Again, not interested!

Having a staring contest with our friend's dog, Bentley!

Hope everyone has a great week!!
