Our 1st Field Trip!

Today I took Jay and Bee on our very first field trip to Tanaka Farms. :) It was so awesome. I wanted to stay on the wagon for another tour. It was nice that they let us try so many fresh veggies. :) I learned a few things myself. The difference between a fruit and vegetable is that Fruits have seeds on the insides and Vegetables you can eat every part of it, the leaves the roots and the veggie. I personally really enjoyed their carrots. They were so sweet!! Bee tried some Maui Onions, raw and all!! He loved them! What a suprise! There's just something about organic fruits and vegetables... they just taste so much better! I hope to go again!! It was lots and lots of fun for us all!! I am inspired to garden now... Which have been a family dream of ours. Now that we have a backyard we can!! YAY!!

Picking strawberries!!

Enjoying raw onions. :)

Brotherly Love!

My Three Musketeers!! Such Sweetness!!

Life is GOOD!!

Life is GOOD!! I'm loving on all my boys!! They're the greatest!! Life feels so sweet right now. I have two big boys who help mom out a lot. They toss diapers, find pacifiers, and play with Baby E.

Jay and Bee is adjusting well. Enjoying the roll of big brother again, and Bee is loving on the Baby. The big brothers look out for their third musketeer.

We've finally got back on the horse with Homeschooling. And so far it is going well. :P I'm enjoying the challenge of juggling a baby and the boys' schooling. It's definitely been an adventure.

Well looks like my blogging time is cut short due to baby tears. :)

New baby.

I've been quite busy the past few weeks. We've had our newest arrival join the Cole clan. :) We've all been adjusting to his presence. It's been such a joy having him around. Eddie was named after both my husband's dad and my dad. He now carries both of our Dad's names. He was 20 in and 6 lbs. and 13 oz. He's already grown in two weeks of being born. He grew two more inches and was 7 lbs. and 10 oz. at his 2 week appointment.

Homeschooling has been put on hold for a few weeks while we figure out a plan. I've been hoping to continue homeschooling all of them but my husband is worried that I cant handle all three of them. I'm not sure if I can or not but I do hope to be able to balance all three children.

WE ARE BLESSED!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year!!

Looks like we're off to a fantastic New Year!!! :)

Our family moved out of our apt and into a sweet little home. We are now closer to both parents and the biggest bonus is that we have a BACKYARD! I've never known the blessings of having a backyard till now. I can actually clean without any disturbance from my little ones. We are sill in the process of unpacking boxes but I'm not going to push it too hard. It was a difficult move for us since it was during the holidays and because I'm pregnant right now. I'm excited to see how this year will be.

Our little one is still in the belly. :) Trying to cordinate with my best friend to plan a little shower. We pray that our "Sweet Pea" will be healthy and as lovely as his brothers. :)

I hope your 2009 was as blessed as ours and that 2010 will only be better. :) Keep holding on to God and your faith! Blessings from our family to yours!
