Cole's Birthday!

We had a fun time getting ready for Cole's birthday once he went to bed the night before his big day.  
Daddy and Sydney were on the balloons and streamers and did a great job decorating!






He was a happy boy when he woke up!


SPecial shirt for the birthday boy to wear

Enjoying his pancakes and sausage before heading off to the zoo

Nani was off of work on his birthday so we dragged her along with us to the zoo. 

Cole didn't mind that Sydney was choosing where we went first

Daddy giving the birthday boy a ride

She had a blast running through the elephant exhibit

...and he had fun watching her :)  He was actually having a snack in the stroller unless I would have let him crawl around with her!

The black jaguar woke up right when we got to his cage!  He was HUGE. 



Taking a break from the animals and playing in the kid zone.  Can you spot Nani and Sydney?

He was doing a good job hanging at the big kid playground


At the petting zoo

She LOVED the goats.  She would pick up food from the ground and have the goats eat it from her hand.  Hilarious... and gross :)

Nani with the kiddos

After the zoo, we came home for naps (or nap strikes) and then had Mark, Nani and Poppa over for dinner.  Bubba was planning on coming up but had the flu so stayed home and came up the following weekend!

Cupcakes for Cole

Sydney helping Cole open his presents. 

Getting ready to sing

Happy Birthday Cole!


He started off by just licking off the icing... 

...then crumbled up the entire cupcake


...and shoveled it into his mouth.  And then it was completely gone.

I'm running out of storage on my phone so here are some pics from the middle of January - middle of February.

Climbed up on Sydneys stool and stole her water bottle

Love this!


Breakfast time


She LOVES almonds!!

Rolling out pizza on valentines day



First chocolate milk

Cheese!

Jumping in her bed instead of napping.  


Pushing her chair so Cole could practice pushing her stroller.  Sydney shares SO well with him!!




Walking down to the playground one morning after it had rained all night.  I just walked by this little bit of water but Sydney was fascinated by it so we stopped... and she found a worm that she loved and now asks to see "wiggly worm" every time.  



My mom came over and watched the kiddos one afternoon so Dave and I could have a date day!  We headed over to a hike near our house. 


Playing in rocks :) 

I asked her to smile and this is what I got!

We went to the beach last weekend and Daddy built Cole a bumbo seat in the sand.  He loved it and it kept him happy/contained for quite some time. 




Playing ball


Loving her style!
