Thomas the Train!

Last weekend we took Cole to Baldwin City, KS to see Thomas the Train. He LOVED it, and we had such a great time playing with trains, sliding, seeing a magician and of course... taking a ride on a REAL train!

We're putting him to work...

Last night Scott was trying to fix some nails that had popped up out of our deck floor, and of course Cole wanted to help. He went down to his tool bench and grabbed his hammer and came out to pound some nails too. At the end you can hear him get upset because his isn't as loud as Scott's, lol.

Brock Daniel Barrows

My older sister Terra had her baby last week, and he is such a handsome little guy! He was born May 28th at 5:45 p.m. and was 8 lbs 12 ozs and 21 inches long. Welcome baby Brock!

Saturday was a beautiful day so Cole (and his parents) headed to the zoo with his friends Connor and Ashlin (oh, and their parents Brian and Chris). We had tons of fun, and saw lots of cool animals. He can't wait until we get to go back and visit again!
p.s. We are pretty sure that they weren't supposed to be sitting on that fence, but it was too cute of a picture op.

Last night "Uncle Scott" had to fill in on Daddy night at Avery's soccer practice since Chris had a track meet. When practice was finally over, we were really hungry so we decided to stop at McDonalds and grab a bite on the way home. While we were finishing up, a little girl named Giana from Cole's class came in with her Grandpa to get some ice cream, so of course Cole wanted an ice cream too. They were too cute eating together, and Cole actually loved it-who knew?

Need a little wind here!

A couple of weeks ago we went to Sweet Leah's first birthday party, and one of the little goodies that Cole picked up was an Elmo kite. Since it has been pretty windy around here lately, Scott thought that it would be fun to try and teach Cole how to fly a kite. Cole LOVED it!!!! Here are a couple of pictures of them flying the very cool Elmo kite.

No pictures again. . .

because nobody wants to see vomit. Cole got a little sick over the weekend. I say a little because thankfully it was only a 24 hour flu bug. We all went to bed tuckered out on Saturday night after a busy day of multiple Easter egg hunts. I would suspect that it could have been the copious amounts of candy consumed earlier that day if not for the warning we were given Friday at school about two "friends" who got sick in the middle of the day. That is not very "friendly", IMO. Anyway, much puking ensued at the top & bottom of each hour until morning. The good news is that once midday Sunday hit he was back to his normal playful self. The after affects? His appetite has been a little lacking. What else is new?
