Christmas with the Howard side

We had such an awesome time seeing family this Christmas!

Cole & Mom playing in the first good snow day!

Brandon sings at a local restaurant once a week. The kids loved watching Daddy!

Hallie's First Birthday!!!!

She is sporting her new jammies!

Hallie is pulling herself up on everything and walking around with the toy grocery cart. I can't believe how big she is now!

Monroe & Hallie playing in the leaves!

Cole likes to get Hallie out of her crib in the mornings, then they snuggle!

2 Years Old!!!

First Day Of School

Cole's first day of THIRD GRADE!!!!!

Well, Coleman is officially an 8 year old! On his birthday he got several cool presents including a new bike! We went to a local baseball game that evening and had a blast! The babies were good and Cole got to run the bases afterwards!
Cole had a choice this year of having a "family" or a "friends" birthday party. He chose to have a sleepover with some friends. Now, many of you may not know this but little boys tend to scream like little girls. There was a lot of this going on at Cole's party so we started a game called "Screaming Like A Little Girl" contest. Every time one of them screamed they received a tally mark. Cole and Garrett got the most marks so they had to drink from PRINCESS SIPPY CUPS at breakfast! Cole was none too happy to be the loser on that one!

Cole's Last Baseball Game

Cole had his last game on Wednesday evening. He has had a great season! He's really worked on his technique and proved to be one of the most talented players on his team. We are very proud of his hard work.

Here is my happy baby! Monroe calls her Mae Mae...it's so cute. She can now sit up but she doesn't really like trying to crawl. She does, however, like to grab my hands and pull herself up to a standing position.

Cole had a spacer put in his mouth this summer. Can't believe how grown up he is! He will be in THIRD grade this fall!

Monroe likes to climb in bed with Cole!

Great Papa Hohman
Last time we went to visit Brandon's family, we went to see the races. Lots of fun and very loud!

Monroe loves going to the pool.

Monroe has become very ornery! This is when he got in trouble for putting Desitin on the couch. We had to have it professionally cleaned!
