A GLIMPSE OF SUMMER

Janey's Blessing Day.

I wore this dress along with all my girls.

More blessing pic's


So cute

Janey & her Cousin Whitney. If only she will grow up to be just like her.

Grandma & Grandpa Cole

Grandma & Grandpa Summers

Janey is so lucky to have the BEST Grandparents ever.

And the BEST brothers & sisters.

Families can be together forever, what a great feeling.

Laci's 1st day of 1st grade, where did my baby go?

Laci started school last week, I'm losing all my helpers.

Janey has been spoiled all summer by the girls holding, playing, kissing and taking care of her.

Wondering what we did this summer?

Napping was going to be the top priority, but...unfortunately

I was the only one who didn't ever catch any ZZZZ's.

This is Marissa reading the friend...or was

Grandpa, your the BEST!

Yes folks, this is Grandpa Summers painting Cerese's finger nails.

Wait...I thought we were going swimming.

We decided to load friends up and head to the Drive-in Movie.

It was just like I remembered, we had a great time.

We saw Toy Story 3, Prince of Persia and the best show

was actually the meteor shower going on in the sky-biggest one of the year.

Baby and her PA PA.

Janey and her Grandpa who always calls to find out how she is doing

and if she has gotten any cuter. Of course the answer is always YES!

Bright eyes. Where is my newborn??

My girls, I'm so blessed. I got the 5 day stomach flu and felt terrible.

The girls took care of Janey, changed diapers,

played, entertained and walked around with her all day.
I really could not have done it without them.

Hudson & I

I love this boy. I get to wake up to this face and giggle

all day long at the things he comes up with.

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...


Marissa, Issa, Miss Mariss, Rissa, Peanut...

Laci, Laci Lou, Pumpkin seed, Aci...

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.
