raaaaaarrrrrr

for Halloween this year, Sylvie decided she wanted to be a LION! she is soo fierce and scary...so we got her hair cut...she is a perfect lion:)

really, she has been a lil neglected and had really bad matts all over her:( so they had to shave her...poor girl.

but, even though she kinda looks like a kitten, she still can give Morgan the smack down:)

I think Morgan thinks Sylvie is a different cat, she has been following her around and trying to sniff on her all night...Sylvie doesn't dig that too much. It's been good entertainment for me:)

Sam's

after a bath...we had to move our "changing station" back to being on top of the dresser...that way he can't get away from me:) YET. sorry these pics are blurry.

Cole was at Mother's Day Out today so I took advantage and made a trip to Sam's Club with Abby (tennis coach). While I was there, I got Cole a treat.:) His bowl was finished...he LOVED THEM!
just a few cheese balls....i'm not sure we'll ever finish these.

base day

Friday, they all did the library, while Cole and I did the water fountains downtown and took naps:) On Saturday we went to CRACKER BARREL (my fav pancakes) and had breakfast and drove up for a tour on base.

cole was more interested in the rocks than the plane

We went to church that afternoon and that wrapped up their visit. They left early Sunday morning:( It was so nice to have them here. Thanks to Mom for all her cooking!! I really wish they could all move in:) Cole had so much fun too! LOVE YOU GUYS!

Mom, Aunt Jan, Grandma and Grandpa made their way down to Little Rock this weekend. It was sooo great to have them here. Grandma and Grandpa are big presidential library buffs, so they wanted to come and check out President Clinton's Library before we head to our next location.

On Thursday, I had an appointment in the morning and we rode the trolley and checked out downtown in the afternoon.

FAMILY NIGHT!!

My friend, Nicole, is awesome! She came over to Chandra's to watch Cole so we could go to dinner. We hit up Red Rock for dinner and then to Yia Yia's for some drinks!!

playin with the phone (weird)

before my haircut

cable help

Our neighbor Zach is working hard to try and get my computer to hook up to the TV so we can make Ryan appear on the TV when we skype. My computer for some reason won't pull it up! Anyway, Zach and Abby came down to try and hook it up!

Abby and Cole chillin on the spidy couch

morning activity

lil skyping with daddy...love ryan's smile:) cheese

skype

We've been skyping with Ryan whenever we get the chance. He's been flying a lot so we usually can talk to him about every other day. Cole gets excited to see him on the computer. He will still blow him kisses, kiss the computer screen, and is now into giving him "pounds" or fist bumps on the screen. It's pretty funny. Hoping we can get Ryan up on the TV soon:) We need a new up to date TV and it would be fine (hint hint, Ryan)

we're gonna fight...

FIGHT FIGHT FOR IOWA!

we were practicing our FB skills all day! I'm pretty sure he'll probably wear this shirt every Saturday:)

Abby came over to keep us company and eat food:) The weather was perfect! I am loving that we are getting into fall..so is Cole.

UALR soccer

We had a variety of "lake" plans for the Labor Day weekend. 1.with my cousins abby and jake and fam in the Ozarks and 2. with our friends Shane and Jessica here in AR at Greers Ferry. Ofcourse, Cole came down with a terrible barking cough, snotty nose and congestion. So we didn't get to do any lake activities, but we enjoyed some soccer and football for the weekend.

watching a 'lil UALR soccer.....
which translates into chasing Cole and trying to keep him off the field

why is it that that is the only place he wants to run?

oh goldfish

well...goldfish have been our preferred snack....however, Mr. Monster has discovered that if he squeezes them hard enough on the bellies they break apart everywhere. I decided to put them on the shelf for awhile. (maybe he'll forget?) He sure thought it was funny.
