Gotta love homework!

Our favorite time of the day. NOT! Well Cole likes homework. Daniel, not so much. But dear son, you are learning so much. Much more than I could ever teach you.





Homophones! Remember learning about them? Yeah, makes spelling tests fun. I secretly love homophones. Something neat about words pronounced the same, but spelled differently with different meanings. Funny how that works.








Lots of reading in first grade. Cracking up at the stories.


Notice the peaches snack to the left. Gotta get the brain food in when you can.

Fall Break

We drove to Colorado for fall break this year. We drove up into the mountains to the Loveland Ski area and found that they are skiing on the mountain already. The mountains were so beautiful. We had a great time with family in Highlands Ranch. We enjoyed hiking, rollerblading, going to the park (their parks are the best), and we even went to a cool indoor rock climbing place to celebrate Cole's birthday. It was so much fun.

Happy 7th Birthday Cole!

Can't believe how old he is. I am very proud of this little boy. He has such a sweet heart and we love him so very much!

7 Things we love about Cole:

1. He is very thoughtful.
2. He is very imaginative.
3. He loves baseball. He plays shortstop and bats left even though he is right handed.
4. He loves school and loves to learn.
5. He is very funny and keeps us laughing.
6. He is very determined and does not know the meaning of give up.
7. He loves God and prays every night, "Thank you for God and Jesus, the whole world, my friends and Daniel's friends. My toys and Daniel's toys."

We love you Cole and we thank God every night for you too.

Few of my favorites.

Cubs!

Daniel is playing fall baseball this year. This is his second year of kid pitch. He moved to a new position this year, short stop. He had played 2nd base for years, but the coach felt they needed him at short stop. This has been an adjustment for him but he has accepted the challenge well. He is starting to become more of a leader on the field which I think will be good for him. He really likes baseball and loves to pitch. Very proud of my little man.




Hit by a pitch. Ouch!

Rockies!

Cole is playing fall baseball again this year and I am just now getting around to post new pictures of him. He is now playing machine pitch and has new uniforms. They are so cute and the team looks like little pro baseball players. He LOVES baseball! If you know Cole, then you know how he walks around pretend pitching, throwing, and batting. He is doing pretty well hitting off of the machine and has gotten a hit every at bat. Now if it would just stop raining long enough for the season to be played. So many rain outs already. Now make up games are being scheduled on Saturdays. Have I said before how much our family loves baseball?

Photo fun!

On a recent trip to downtown to see the Christmas Carol train, I decided I would try to capture some of the cool sights in Bricktown. There are so many cool things of downtown that I love.
