Baseball

Okay, so I have really been slacking when it comes to the blog, so I vow to try MUCH harder to keep up with the job.  This summer, Cy played Coaches Pitch Baseball for the YMCA. David was the coach and his team was the Oakland A's. He had a blast and won his team home run derby for the SECOND year in a row...(Sorry, but I have to brag!!)  Anyway, here are some pictures from the last game of the season!



SO proud of his trophy...he even slept with it last night and took it to church today to show his friends! ha!

Happy Birthday, Nolan!!!

Well, the time has come and there are no more babies in the Cole Household! Our sweet, precious, JOYFUL Nolan is two...and OFFICIALLY a BIG BOY! :) Although I LLLOOOOVVVVEEE sweet, precious babies, I've got to admit; life with our two amazing, fun, independent boys is pretty spectacular!  Here are a few pictures from the wonderful celebration we had at our home (yesterday) on Nolan's big day... 
 Arrrgh, shiver me timbers...
 Cy was Slippin' and Slidin'
 Drink break
 Back at it!
 LOVE this picture of Carsen!
 Berkley's turn at the Pinata!
 Look out...Nolan's got the bat!!!
 Opening the gifts with Daddy
 New shades..."No autographs, please!"
 His new favorite song is "Happy Birthday" and he LOVED hearing everyone sing it! :) He nodded at everyone singing as if to say, "yup, that's right, it's my birthday!" and clapped when we were done! 
 Silly Boy
 That's a good look for you, David!

 The cake looked AMAZING and more importantly, IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! The treasure chest was a chocolate cake and the bottom was white cake with almond flavoring.  It was wonderful and made by my friend, Kacy Perez! Look her up on facebook at Kacy's Kakes! :)
 Water ballon fight! I think at this time, the kiddos were heading to get David soaked! :)
 (I decorated with sidewalk chalk, but it's not easy to see in the pic)
It said, "Happy 2nd Birthday Nolan"
 2 years ago, at 4:00 in the morning, we headed to the hospital to have a baby boy! Just 3 short hours later, at 7:09 am, this precious bundle of JOY was born! Our family of 3 became a family of 4 and he was the most wonderful addition.  The Lord truly blessed us and gave us the most perfect little boy in the world.  He stole our hearts from the moment we first held him and he makes us smile each and every day. We are so thankful for this special, AWESOME, CARING, LOVE-ABLE, BEAUTIFUL, HILARIOUS, SMART, INDEPENDENT, SILLY, SWEET boy!!!! We praise God for the wonderful gift of parenthood and give all the glory to Him for trusting us to be the parents of the most wonderful 2 year old! 
Happy Birthday, Nolan Everett Cole! Mommy, Daddy and Bub love you so much!
