Look what Aaron did at daycare...finger painting with chocolate pudding...look where most of it ended up...his shirt, yikes!


I wonder what the actual piece of art will look like. I'll post it once he brings it home.

Puget Sound Festival of Bands

Warm up
Matt walking off the field after warm up


Aaron did awesome at the show...he watched 5 hours of marching without complaint...what a kid! Bellingham didn't make it to finals but they are definately holding their own. They scored near the middle of their class of 17 bands.

The Cole Annual Halloween party

It was that time again...time for the annual Cole Halloween party. This year...I pulled out the sewing machine and made Matt's vest and my chaps. Here we are as Buzz Light Year, Woody and Jessie from Toy Story 2 (hmm...a pregnant Jessie?)

A visit from Grandpa and Grandma Kellenbeck

The gang
Grandpa and Grandma Kellenbeck made a special trip to help with the new baby's nursery...we started and finished in a weekend. It turned out perfect! Here's Aaron helping Daddy prepare.
Here we are marking the walls, so we knew where the wall paper border was going as well as the different colors.
Daddy and Grandpa did all of the painting. Here they are working on the ceiling.
Aaron supervises as Grandpa edges with the yellow paint
Grandpa and Daddy working hard
Putting up the border
The proud painters
If you haven't figured it out already the nursery theme is airplanes
Isn't Daddy clever?
Clouds on the wall and ceiling...Daddy did a great job

Mommy decided that Aaron's room needed a toddler upgrade...so we added trucks and trains to his walls

Soon Aaron's crib will be heading to the nursery....once Mommy and Daddy can get a bunk bed for Aaron

Go Daddy bucking bronco!


Check out how I found Aaron sleeping the other night...yep standing on his stool

Aaron's first swimming lesson! Here he is jumping into the pool with Mommy's help.

Aaron learning to swim...kicking legs and using his arms...this was at the end of the first lesson

Daddy and Aaron play soccer...in the house...yes, I was supervising/videoing

A visit from Grandma Mel (Two weekends ago)
