Funny Little Man

Cole is a crack up! He is always saying and doing the funniest things out of the blue that make me laugh. He is such a clown, always trying to make us laugh and laughing at his own jokes :) I was just taking a trip down memory lane of the last few months and thought I would share a few funny moments.

Cole will never look at the camera if he knows I'm trying to take a picture. I could never catch him looking and smiling, which was odd because this kid is constantly smiling and laughing. Something about the camera makes him frown. One day I asked him to give me his biggest smile and this is what I got:

I thought I was on to something...I had finally figured out how to get a look and a smile! So I tried it again, and this is what I got:

So much for that idea. What a goofball! He may not give me the biggest smile anymore, but he does give some pretty hilarious faces :)

He has been fighting me on naps for the past few weeks, but he still needs them so I enforce them. He always plays for awhile before finally giving in. I went in to check on him one day and this is what I found:

Yes, his head is in a box. As long as he's asleep, who really cares? I got some peace and a good laugh!

The other day I was eating something and Cole said "Don't eat dadda's silly momma!"

Cole came up to me one day wearing red oven mitts and said "Look, I'm a lobsta!" I don't know where he comes up with his crazy ideas, but I love them!


He often tells me "I'll be right back mamma, stay right here" when he goes to do something.

The other day I said "Cole should we get you dressed?" and his response was "No thanks, I'm not ready to go bye bye". I learned a valuable lesson: Don't ask a 2 yr old if they want to do something and expect the answer you want.


This morning he asked me where a toy was and I said I thought it was downstairs and he replied "Actually, it's not." This kid hasn't learned yet that moms are always right :)

Just thought I would share a few of his funny moments. I wish that I had them all on video so I can remember them forever. There are so many moments that I thought I could never forget that are already hazy. He is a funny little guy and I love him to bits and pieces!

Happy Halloween!

We had a fun filled Halloween this year. Cole is finally old enough to understand what's going on and the festivities go on for about a week here in Iowa! The Friday before, we went to the neighborhood Halloween party for Fun Friday (and I forgot my camera!). DMU had a kiddie party for all of the students' kids, with pumpkin painting, games, prizes and food (and I forgot my camera!). Friday night was Beggar's Night where everyone goes trick-or-treating, so we took the kids out in the freezing weather (and Ben remembered the camera!). Saturday night our ward had a Halloween party followed with a Trunk-or-Treat in the parking lot (and I forgot my camera!). Did you catch a theme her? I was a big ditz and never remembered the camera for all of our fun parties. Luckily Ben remembered to get it out for Beggar's Night and we got a few pics, but still not as many as I would have taken. Although we have little proof, we had a fabulous, sugar-loaded Halloween!!

Cole was Dumbo (again) this year. I don't think he remembers last year anyway and, as some of you know, he has been on a Dumbo kick so he was pretty excited to wear it this year. We'll see how many years we can get out of this one :) Luckily his coat fit inside the costume, because it was FREEZING when we went trick-or-treating. I never dressed up Ellie because it was so cold that we just left her bundled in the carrier the whole time.


Since we didn't get any pictures of the baby I'm throwing one in so everyone can see her chubbers! I swear she gains about a pound a week...and I love it!!
