Baby Janey!!!

Janey Jen Cole
8 lbs 3 ounces 20 inches long
(I must have been bigger than what I thought)

I'm finally a big brother
Hudson always asked "when is the baby going to hatch?"
well..."the baby hatched!!"
Rock a bye ... baby... and big sister.


Sleep time and nap time and sleep time and nap time...
these are a few of my favorite things...

Laci picked out this outfit, and 5 others that morning.
Laci holds her for about 3 hours a day.
The main fighting that goes on is about who gets to hold her
and how long they got to hold her for.
I hope this never gets old.

Grandpa was there for the whole thing.
He still gets excited even though this is grand baby # 17!

She's got the wave, mohawk, scare hair thing going on.

I love her hair, I wanted another baby with tons of hair.

I guess all that heartburn was worth it.

Mom & Baby!

Yes, I know I look scary but I feel better having her out.

Proud PaPa.

Poor Brandon & Hudson are "girl trapped"

(Hudson's exact words)

I forgot how much fun it is having a new baby around.

I just stare at her and smile. I love hearing all the newborn sounds they make

and when she smiles in her sleep and looks at me with her

beautiful bright eyes. Babies are a wonderful blessing and miracle.

I feel so grateful to be a mother.

My Family

Wendi was kind enough to take our family pictures,

so here they are.

I'm so grateful we can capture these moments

and have pictures to remember certain times in our lives.

It was such a fun experience and I can't believe my kids are this old already.

Marissa is 7, Laci is 5 and Hudson is 3.

Me & Brandon of course. Aren't we cute together? I love being married to this man. Sorry Gals but I do believe I'm married to the best of best. He makes dinner at least once a week, stays home one day a week so I can get out of the house and work, locks me in my room so I can read for hours without interruption and the list goes on and on. I love you Babe and thanks for making my life on earth so WONDERFUL!

Me, Jen, Mom, Mommy, Aunt Foo Foo & MOMMY!


Hudson, Tornado, Bubsy, Hud...

Deleted Scenes & Out-takes of Hudson!

I just had to post these pictures, hope you have a good laugh like I did.

I love this boy, He is constantly reminding me of the joy of laughter.
