Coleman and Brooklyn are growing so fast! We can't believe how big they are. This morning we took a few pictures just for fun. The pictures aren't great, but I had good material. :) We didn't dress up or anything. We were just outside and the light was nice. We decided to give it a go. These kiddos really really love each other. I think they look pretty cute sitting together there on the rock.
A few things about Brookie -
Brookie is hilarious! She loves to dress up - she's especially fond of shoes (anybody's shoes). She also likes to put clothes and jackets around her head and pretend to wear them. When she thinks she's dressed up she struts. :) She also loves to wear her butterfly wings even though they kindof get in the way. Brookie is a great listener. She's getting really good at following directions. She knows lots of animal sounds and is saying some really important new words like: mote (remote), k-k (cookie), sss-sss (music), chs (cheese), sh-sh-sh (shoes) and more. She's a funny little monkey. She adores her daddy and attacks him almost before he can get in the door. She loves to play with Coleman and with other little friends. Even though she's not old enough, she loves to visit nursery and play with the kids. We wish she could go now. Brookie loves to tease, play with anything Cole plays with, hug her dolls and stuffed animals (and anything else soft), shoot the pop gun, have sword fights with her brother and wrestle with Dad and Cole. She likes to draw and color (especially on her fingers). She likes to eat almost anything, but is most recently enjoying throwing every other bite on the floor (argh!). She's a darling little monkey and brings happiness to everyone around her with her contageous smile (or funny scowl). We love her so much and are so blessed to have her in our family.
A few things about Cole -
Cole loves chocolate (must be genetic), gummy anythings - especially animal shapes and red licorice. He doesn't particularly like eating meals, but loves to snack on pears, raisins, crackers, bread, honey sandwiches (pb&j) and about anything else we'll let him eat not at the table. He likes watching Duck Tales, "Barney's Letters," Elmo and The Land Before Time. Cole is potty trained and is getting better and better at it all the time. He's a good listener (when he wants to be) and can follow multiple directions. He's also a really good helper! He's interested in letters, numbers, animals, Buzz Aldrin and any other space anything, and bugs, bugs, bugs. He likes to wrestle ("knock you over" and "smash you flat like a pancake"), play catch and make-believe anything, glue, cut (rip) with scissors, look for bugs, help with the cooking and washing the car, play with cars and Toy Story toys and listen to music/play his instruments. He loves the park, the childrens museum, the science museum, nursery and playing with friends. He loves water and anything related to splashing. He's really enjoying throwing rocks in the Willamette River. Cole loves his daddy, mommy, sister, grandparents, uncles, aunt and cousin. He's really friendly to EVERYBODY! He likes to wave at everyone and likes to watch the garbage truck and wave at the sanitation workers. We're so lucky to have him! He brings such joy into our lives.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandpa's passing. You've been on my mind ever since I heard. Also, you're a great Mom to write about your kids and their milestones every month. Now I've got to follow you're lead. Take care!
Everytime I look through your pictures I can't help but notice how incredible good your kids are at making a perfect picture taking mess with their food! I always wish that McKelle would just dive in that way when we give her treats so I could take such a memorable picture, but her messes don't cover near the amount of face that coleman and brookie's do! Oh they are such cuties!
So cute!!! I just want to say that the top picture is my favorite, and I hope you have it framed somewhere!! Oh, and can I just say that a in few of those pics of Brookie i can totally see Addie. They must be related! :) We miss you lots and wish we could come and visit tomorrow! Love you guys. Keep posting pictures (for my benefit, of course : ) )
Brookie is becoming such a little Michelle. I love it. The fist picture needs to be enlarged and framed somewhere. Love it too. Hope you guys are loving Oregon.
They are growing up so fast! They're sure cute kids. I miss all of you.
Ok, I am finally caught up on your blog. I took a break this summer and wow! (I've missed a bunch). It was so nice to see you the other day. I love the hat you made and I can't wait to put it on my newborn. I love all your pictures, you are so talented! See you next week.
