8 is great! Happy birthday Cole!

Big Birthday for Cole...#8!  In our church, people have the opportunity to be baptized at that age, so it's kind of a big deal.  That was Cole's choice and he was so excited about it.

A few celebrations... cold cereal and dodge ball party with his friends.  One of the best parties I've hosted...ate cold cereal (with rice krispie cake) in the church courtyard and played dodge ball til those boys were good an sweaty!  It helped that George and Lucy were there to lead some fun dodg eball games.







Party #2 at grandma's with the family (most folks were out for Memorial Day).  Cole's requested dessert...lemon bars!  Yum!!!





Party #3 was in honor of Cole's baptism.  I think I'll do a separate post on that one.

Elise is 11!

 We sure love this 11 year old cutie!  She had been looking forward to turning 11 FOR.EV.ER. because that was when we decided she could get her ears pierced.  I was worried we'd have to postpone because I had a crazy bad migraine, but luckily by the time school was out, I was at least functioning and could drive...so off we went!



When Elise is nervous, she gets chatty.  Yes, even more than her normal chatty.  I bet she asked the ear piecing lady 1400 questions.  Very detailed.  But during the actual piercing, she did great and was SO happy with her blue sparkly earrings!
