BIG BEDS

The baby cribs are down and we are now in our BIG beds! Heidi LOVES her new bed. She even asks to go to bed because she loves it so much!


Andy snuggles down....amazingly, we have had absolutely no problems with our new sleeping arrangements.

Sure makes the room look different...no changing table anymore and 2 cribs put away. I think my babies are growing up!

Grandma McCool made Andy's bedding when Cole was little. Andy is thrilled with his "new" animal bedding. Heidi got a new tailored bedspread made with lots of love from G-ma. What would we do without her? Thanks G-ma - we love you!

Cole's Opening Day of Baseball

It was an exciting Saturday in Edgerton...it was opening day for t-ball. The kids are all ready for the excitement that awaits them at the ball park. Cole was dressed and ready to go WAY before time. There is just something about putting that uniform on!

The players get their name announced, and they get to run the bases during opening ceremonies. Cole is running in style with his Lightning McQueen shades! He actually did great running the bases, but not so great running over the pitcher's mound. Cole received recognition and a cash prize for being one of the top sellers in the ticket raffle. He had to run up to home plate to get his money, but failed to see the pitcher's mound. He wiped out and got himself dirty before the game every started! He bounced up though and recovered well. To think we thought his clumsiness stage passed....NOT! All of Edgerton got to see the wipe out.... that is my son!


Cole has really enjoyed having Daddy as his coach this year. Mommy will be so glad when he moves to the next league so she gets to see a little more action.


Cole really does hit the ball pretty well....now if we can get him to be lightning fast!

Cousin Josh

Cousin Josh awaits his game to start.

Josh really played a great game, at least what we got to see. It is amazing how much the boys improve from year to year.

Hit the ball, Josh!

Got it!

Still Alive

Mommy finally found the time to Blog. It has been too long, I know. I am approaching the end of the school year. Summer will soon be here! We are already in full swing for T-ball. Pictures should be streaming in for a while now! Enjoy the update....

The New Room

Cole's room got a make over. Here is the new Bulldog mural....

New bedding and new picture on the wall...

Thanks to the Junior class parents for thinking of this idea. It was a perfect addition to the new decor. Next up, big boy and girl beds for the twins and new bedding!

Easter Morning

It really is challenging to be this cute and a stinker at the same time...

Heidi is not wearing high heels. She is just that much taller than Andy. Notice, he is already learning to stretch his neck to look taller!

Heidi is sporting a new coat tailored by Grandma and a "cow girl" hat. At least, that is what the kids call it...easter hat is just to boring!

Wow, that is one handsome dude with one pretty little lady!

Church Easter Egg Hunt

Wow - that is alot of eggs!

We are ready!

Andy patiently waits with Aunt Karen. He was smart to stand where no one else was at....more eggs for him!

Please, let me get them?

The Hunt

Are you suppose to stop during the hunt to check out your treats?

What a pro.... lightning fast!

Cole got plenty of eggs and candy.

What happened to all the eggs? We had plenty of candy at the end of the day! To think, some children come equipped with a grocery bag...our children are not so lucky!

Easter Cookies

We made our traditional Easter cookies with the kids. We decided maybe we need to break out into other holidays because they really turned out awesome this year. They never last long enough either! Cole is the egg.....

Andy is the goof ball... I mean the chick!

What are we going to do with this girl?

Oh yes, Miss Heidi is the bunny....

Time to Frost!

The finished YUMMY cookies!

Heidi applies PLENTY of purple frosting...

Cole takes the work very seriously. As we were eating them, he always could pick out "his cookies"!

Is that frosting on the lips, I see?
