Little Explorer

Cole has now reached the point where he's exploring and getting into EVERYTHING! His favorites being the power cords to the computers, the blu-ray player, and, as of this morning, the kitchen cupboards. So far the only thing he hasn't even attempted is the stairs, which is good because I don't have any gates up yet...I know, bad mommy!
Last Monday was Ben's 29th Birthday, though he'll tell you that he's 25. He's been wanting to make homemade pasta for a long time, so Cole bought him a pasta maker and Lola got him the Cook's Illustrated complete guide to pasta and noodles.
This last weekend G-Paw came to visit us in Dugway. The guys did a little golfing and hiking and we of course enjoyed G-paw's cooking! Now we're just getting ready for the next two month adventure. Cole, Lola and I are going to fly to Portland to see Aunt Katie and Aunt Sarah and Uncle Jesse and meet baby Owen. Then, we're going to Spokane until December. Poor daddy's got to go to San Antonio and we're going to miss him!!!
