Happy Birthday, Cole! 8 already....

August 31, 2001 Cole was born at 11:41am. He weighed 5lbs 5oz and was 18 1/2 in long. Here he is 8 years later weighing 56lbs & he is roughly 4 1/2 feet tall. Hard to believe!

Cole is officially 8! He is such a good boy and a big helper! He has helped me so much lately since my arm was broken. He has stepped up and helped change diapers and feed Orin. He has such a sweet spirit and loves being a helper. He take prides in helping Luke on the bus and at school when he can. He seems like he has grown up so much all of the sudden. I am so proud of him and so thankful for such a sweet boy!

We celebrated his birthday by going to a R/C airplane show the day before. We also took him cupcakes to share with his class then went out to eat & to Chuckie Cheese with his friend Caden on his birthday. He got some of his favorite things... Pokemon, Bakugon & Star Wars!

We love you so much, Cole! Happy 8th Birthday!

Getting on the bus! The best part of the day besides recess!

First day of school! Luke started Kindergarten & Cole is in 2nd grade. Luke was so excited and did great riding the bus the first day... he requested it! Cole is being a great big brother & helping Luke around school when he can. Cole is enjoying 2nd grade and has his best friend in his class again.
