The time flew and Bo turned two...

Sweet Bo Boy, where did the time go? How did you get to be 2 already! Bo turned two years old April 17th. He has been such a joy! Here he is eating his catapiller, or worm cake that Grandma Dar made him...



Here he is getting ready to open presents...

Here he is not too excited about presents... but mom is!


Bowen Troy, we are so glad you came to live with us 2 years ago. You're big blue eyes, and sweet smile just warm hearts everywhere you go. Its so fun to watch you learn and grow each day and we are so lucky to be part of your family! Love, Mommy, Daddy and Cole Man.

Easter Pageant

This year, Cole got to see his Dad in the Easter Pageant. It was so great to watch Cole watch the pageant. He was so proud and retained so much of the program. In fact now, every night before bed, he turns out the lights in his room, gets the flashlight for a spot light, puts a pretend beard on Ty, and we do the whole Easter Pageant there in his room. He plays the part of the angel, John the Baptist, the dead boy ( in the pageant its really the "dead girl" but oh well ), the crippled boy, etc etc. Its so sweet to hear him sing "I Know He Lives" at the end each night. Here is a picture of us after the first night Cole got to see it.

It was time...

So if you know our Cole at all, you know that he has been LOVING guitars since he was about 2 years old. The Christmas after my dad died, my mom got a Wii and he has been hooked ever since. He'll play anything and call it a guitar. He has broom guitars, sword guitars, shovel guitars etc etc. He can REALLY rock out too. Its pretty cool. So, we finally broke down and got him a wii. Grandma Dar got him the Wii and we got him the guitar hero part. What fun!

Here is Cole at age two with his "blow up guitar"...





Here he is performing "Slow Ride" at the Clifford family Thanksgiving Talent Show in 2008.


At the Arizona Museum for Youth last year...


Playing Guitar Hero at Peter Piper Pizza. Usually there are about 5 people behind him watching him in amazement. Especially when we tell them that we didn't even have the game at home. In fact, just today, at Cole's school, an older child said to Cole, " I've seen you at Peter Piper, playing Guitar hero. You are awesome!" So yah, our kid is famous. HA!


And here he is, now 5 years old, with his Wii. Finally! It did feel "time" tho. I've definately been holding off for a while now. So its so fun for him to have finally gotten one! Rock on Cole!
