We have seen more snow than I can ever remember us getting in Central Arkansas. The kids had fun and enjoyed some days off, but I think we are all ready for Spring and warmer weather!!

My first big boy "cereal"

Look, I can read!!

Tori loves to dress me up and play with me!! (I can cook, too!)

My new shirt Mema got for me!! I am so cute!

These are a few of the many pictures we take of Tayton. He is such a happy baby and everyone loves to play with him or hold him or make him laugh. He is such a joy to have in our home!! We all love him so much!!

Tyler's 18th Birthday January 8, 2011

Tyler with Tayton Cole

Make a wish.....

Blow out the candles!!

Tyler with his new compact quad

I am not sure exactly how or when it happened, BUT my little boy grew up. I can't believe he is 18 and going to graduate in a few months and go to college. He is working and saving for his mission. We are so proud of him for all his accomplishments. Tyler is a big help with the younger kids and we are grateful for him. (Even when he drives us crazy, some of the time!) We love you, Tyler!!!

Christmas Morning 2010

We had a fun Christmas with the kids. I enjoy watching them open presents and get excited about their gifts. Tayton wasn't sure what to think about unwrapping presents. (I think he didn't want to rip the paper, but wasn't sure how to carefully open the packages) We are grateful we were able to spend time with family and loved ones during this special time of the year.

Trenton's 12th Birthday 12-20-10

Braydin, Avery, Blake

Trenton had a few friends over for his birthday party. They played games, ate, played some more and ate some more. I think they all had a good time. It is hard to believe that Trenton is already 12. We love you, Trenton!

Tyler's Eagle Scout Project

Tyler with some of the donations

Taking a break for donuts!!

Tyler organized a clean up day at the women's shelter and also did a donation drive for them in conjunction with the annual Turkey Bowl. We are very proud of him for finishing his project. I know he is glad it is over, so I will quit nagging him to get it done. It is always a good feeling to help others and give service to the community.
