Last of February

So, I've been a bit of a slacker with getting these pictures posted. It seems lateley like I'm running out of time to do everything! These are just some great moments from February that we thought were fun.



Thanks Grandma Marilee, Grandpa Terry, Uncle Trevor and Uncle Trent, for the cool valentines! I especially love the box of peanuts! :)

Cole loves playing with friends! We watched our friend, Landon, while his mom went to his big brother's Valentine's party. Cole had a blast! Landon calls him "bebe Coleman," and Cole loves it! So fun! Thanks for playing with us!

Cole and Mom decided to make a valentine for Dad. We made chocolate pudding like my mom used to make and decided to fingerpaint. Cole made a beautiful masterpiece, ate a lot of pudding and decided after the paper and tray were covered that he would fingerpaint himself... As you can see, he did a great job and Dad loved the valentine! Don't worry Grandmas - all the clothes in this picture survived. :)

I still LOVE strawberries the most! I was so tired, but I had to keep eating and eating the strawberries! What a great Valentines treat!

We love to play with our friends Clara and Sally. We have a new friend too. Her name is Laura. Sally is tending her while her mom is at work, so we get to see her a lot now too. All three of them seemed to enjoy playing with a bin of popcorn kernels. Laura liked eating them, Clara liked playing with them and Cole liked throwing them. :) They all liked the vacuumming at the end. :)

Coleman Joker! Cole loves fruit - and when you can drink it it's so exciting!

Coleman and Dad were trying on Great Grandpa Flint's cowboy hat. On, off, on, off... Cole was a big fan. He even put it on Dad.

Cole loves to play on our bed! The other day he got up on top and found a treasure, Dad's blankie! He knows he doesn't get to "haf it," but he got that mischievous look in his eye and seemed to enjoy it for a second. It's a good thing Dad didn't see. :)

Once again, Cole is playing on our bed. He brings his "sapes" and asks to get up on the bed. He's getting really good at putting the shapes through the holes. He can name most of them too!

After our Cream of Wheat catastrophy last Sunday before church (we learned a valuable lesson - getting dressed first thing doesn't get you to church on time...), we decided that Cream of Wheat is a "shirt off" breakfast. Cole LOVES it! He likes it best with honey and cran rasins. If you're ever out of glue, we're pretty sure Cream of Wheat would do the trick!

After play group (which I sadly didn't take pictures of) we went to lunch with some friends at Chick Filet. Cole was in heaven! He got to eat chicken, fruit and drink from a juice box! Then we played on the slides and the climbing stuff! So cool! What a fun day!

We've had a lot of fun this month and been really busy! We're excited for Dad to have a weekend without tests soon so he can enjoy things a little too. Tyler has been soooooo busy! We have had time to do a few extracurriculars though. We joined the choir in our ward (Tyler might be the only male participant). Coleman really enjoys choir - we don't know that Mom and Dad love it quite as much, but it's worth getting up early and lengthening the church day by an hour to see Cole hold his hand in the air and yell "sing!" Now he says "sing!" when we walk into church and institute class. It's so funny. He is starting to sing a few of the letters when we sing the ABC song. He really enjoys Happy, Popcorn, Spider Song and Boat Song, some of his other favorite songs. Cole learned to climb UP the slide and LOVES to slide down on his tummy. It really is fun to watch! He also walks around the house saying "ice keamy!" We love it and would probably give it to him all the time if we always had it available. It's probably good that we don't. I think I might like watching him eat ice cream more than I like eating it myself, and that's saying something!!! It's been another fun and crazy month at our house, but we're loving ever minute of it!
