Look! I've been promoted!

Dad, Mom, and Cole

He's very proud!

His Aide Mrs. B and Teacher Mrs. M

Well, Mr. Cole, did it!  He got promoted to 1st grade!  Not that we were worried or anything...but he did have to start slow...1st half day K, then 3/4 day K, then they just couldn't get enough of him, so he stayed all day K.  Actually, he's such a ham that K was probably pretty dull until he showed up!  I hope to post some videos soon so you can see for yourselves!  For those that know Cole, did you notice that he is NOT covering his eyes in these photos?  He loves the camera now!  Work it Cole!

Cole and Sonja

 

Cole always there with a helping hand

Cole loves the iPad.  So much that I have to ask him to share it with Sonja because she never gets to see it otherwise.  I always ask him to "Show Sonja, Show Sonja", so here he is showing Sonja.  Sometimes it helps to have a brother who can hold up your head every now and then.

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

Cole, Mom, and cousin Ari

My mom is the best!  The BEST!  She is kind, loves her grandkids, and never says "No" when we need something or help with the kids.  She is also very funny and loves to talk.  She is the BEST!

Love you mom!

Dollie



Dollie, Luke and Cole

The boys visited an old friend at Snip Its to get their haircut.  Dollie was our nanny when Cole was about 3 months old and she worked with us for quite a number of years before she got married and now has a little guy of her own!  She used to cut the boys hair at home then, but now it is so nice to go see her and get big boy haircuts at a salon.  They've gotten so much better at tolerating someone cutting their hair.  We can actually take them someplace to do it.  It used to be Troy trimmng it at home with Cole screaming and me wondering if someone was going to call CPS!  Both boys are pros now!

1 Party for 2 Birthdays

Jessica found a way to keep Cole's eyes open for pictures...

but Sonja is a natural though...

The end of January brought two birthdays:  Sonja turned 11 and Cole turned 6!  Where does the time go?  And why does it take me until mid-March to post these photos?  Nobody knows!  I hope you enjoy them!
