Cole's friends came over for the morning. This summer they are all doing some schoolwork just to keep their minds active. Cole and Aiden are taking turns reading. Jace did such a good job listening. They are both great boys!

Cole's T-Ball Game. We always have fun!

He's a great first baseman!!!

Monroe loves watching his big brother!

Brandon's dad came to visit us a few weeks ago. We had such a great time. Being the guys they are, they took in a few baseball games. They also took turns seeing how fast they could pitch and if they could hit the balls from the pitching machines. We had a great time. The boys loved spending time with Grandpa. Thanks for the awesome visit Papa!!!! Wish we could see you more often;)

Cole was pitching 36MPH!!!!

Monroe enjoys crawling under furniture now....what a stinker!

Cole and Gavin had fun together at Awana Awards night and Mothers Day.

Cole's spring concert was so cute. His class were the puppies from 101 Dalmations. Cole took the role very seriously!

Well, Monroe is starting to do some fun things. He likes to eat food from our plates along with biter biscuits. And today, he has been sitting up and playing for the first time. He's also trying to crawl but not quite there yet!

Brandon had his last show on Saturday. I will miss seeing him on stage but we are both glad that the late nights are done. Thanks to those who were able to make it out! And for those who didn't, I have it on video;)

Cole loves to surprise me with "flowers" from the backyard! What a sweetie!

Cole and I had our own little experiment!

Introducing our new nephew.....Clayton!

We see this sign every time we go to Missouri and finally got a picture. Brandon wants me to make sure that everyone knows this sign is in Illinois and NOT in Missouri! I don't think we'll be stopping in for lunch anytime soon!

Cole loves spending time with Monroe. One morning, he asked me to bring Monroe in so they could lay together before he had to get up!!!

Easter was a lot of fun. We went out to eat with my family and then went back to my parents' house for an easter egg hunt and games. We also anounced to the family that we are having another baby!!!! My due date is November 18th for those who haven't heard yet. We are all very excited (especially Cole).

Brandon enjoys reading to the boys!

Cole's awards dinner for basketball.

This morning, a good friend of mine made my day. She told me that she appreciated me! Those words really meant alot so I thought I would pass along the sentiment. All of you who are continually asked to view our site are very special to us and I just wanted to let you know that we value the roles that you have played in our lives. God bless!

Cole enjoys playing with baby brother!

Doesn't Monroe look just like Daddy?????

Cole has been doing great at basketball this year!

Last saturday, our friends, Jace, Aiden, and Tracy, came to watch Cole play.

Grandma got to come, also!
