Cole is a pet boss

When all of the other boys are afraid of Shanaqua and Remington, Cole is the one to take charge. In this video i had just came back from a good run with Seth and Remy. Remy had laid down on the air conditioning vent and was panting. We caught Cole cracking up as he pulled Remy's tongue with each pant. I grabbed my camera but I dont think i caught that part. Here is what i did catch though...................
BTW( He does have other pjs.......the Spiderman ones are his favorite. He has wings!!)

Cole and Allyson love Boom Boom Pow

Cole has recently become obsessed with the Black Eyed Peas song, Boom Boom Pow. When I say obsessed, i really mean it. He has to listen it daily. Since he loves it so much I burnt it onto a CD so we could play it in the car. This is a video of the first time he heard it and not watched it on YouTube. It took him awhile of staring at the blank computer screen to figure it out but I think he finally did and then had a blast watching himself and his lady dance in the TV screen.

Summer Time Fun 2009

Once again we have survived our Summer vacation back home. We all had a great time including Cole who discovered how to pick his nose and did so most the time with both fingers at once!

Caleigh celebrated her 3rd birthday and was very excited.

Cole was excited to lick the spatula and make a mess for mommy.

We got to visit Momo Lindsay in Mooresville and had a wonderful time till we wore her out and she kicked us out like usual.



Both Brendyn and Seth ended up with horrible cases of posion ivy from climbing the trees and running through their path pappy had made for them.

We also got to go to all of our favorite eating spots including Pizza King, Fazolis, Jacks Donuts


And at Frickers we found an OU STICKER!!!!. I couldnt believe it and had to come back with proof.

We even had a part of home with us at moms for the Fourth. The Stutzriems took the trip with us to celebrate. Hopefully we have started a tradition for years to come.......(Here that Christy!!)

Rainy Fourth but well worth it.

The boys listened to Pap as he put together all of their outdoor toys that they never played with. They were much happier throwing balls, running around, and climbing poison ivy trees.

This was the start of our trip with our four wonderful active boys and our two puppies Shanaqua and Remington

Im still trying to figure this thing out to where i can make a lil story and put the photos where i want them but its not as easy as i thought it would be.

The move

.........this is where we ended up.

I am extremely new at this so you ll have to bare with me.

We are approaching our one year anniversary since we traded the tornado's for the mountains. I personally love the new views i get to enjoy daily. We are still investigating the area and find new things weekly. We have recently discovered a lake w/a ton of activities we can do as a family. I have been making an effort to go once a week. The boys are all loving it. We are keeping the boys busy with summer camps and vacations. Soon we will return to Indiana for a week then the big boys get to spend some time with their daddy.

I am adding a few photos during our move last year. I guess then Ill put a recent ones up so you can see how big the boys have gotten in a year.

.........this is where we started.
