Funny Pics to Brighten Your Friday

Cole does so many silly things...I'm always running to get my camera. Here are a few pictures of the past few weeks, some funny, some just plain cute!

Cole looking so pretty in mommy's jewelry.

Daddy's not going to like this...

but your future wife will!

Taking pictures with Cole = an easy distraction!

Silly boy, that's not how you sit in your chair!

Big boy at 20 moths!

Just relaxin' and enjoying the view.

Shoveling dirt into Lola's food bowl is hard,
hard work. Time for a water break.

How can you not love this face?!

Home Improvement

We've been in Hawaii for about 6 weeks now and I feel like my home away from home is the Home Depot (and Lowe's). I never realized how much I would learn to love a hardware store! I really couldn't stand the sight of our master bathroom so we decided to tackle that project first. It was relatively simple, but at one point I thought I'd never be done painting. One, in some parts two, coats of primer, and 3 coats of paint later, the hideous blue is history!
My dads would be so proud too...I pretty much did the entire project by myself. I had Ben help install the plumbing and the lights, but I did all of the painting and installed all of the hardware. The most impressive part is that the hardware is level!
We haven't decided what to tackle next...but I'm sure it'll be exiting! My husband has put a ban on me from visiting the Home Depot until our credit cards are paid off, but I'm sure I can talk him into another project soon.

After: So much more relaxing!

Cole's 1st Trip to the Dentist

Last week Cole had his first dental appointment. His dentist is Dr. Ancheta-Carroll and she's the wife of one of the pediatricians at Tripler. She was VERY nice as was her entire office staff. Cole did a fabulous job. He just sat on my lap and was such a good listener. They counted his teeth (16), brushed with toothpaste, which he had never tasted before, and flossed! He goes back in 6 months. They warned me though that he's going to need braces since his teeth are so crowded, esp. on the bottom, and he has a very deep bite on the bottom. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I should have guessed he would do great since he's always wonderful with strangers!

The Star Patient!
