Lake Vacation

Matt had a week off this week, so we took advantage of it and headed to Horseshoe Bay on Lake LBJ in Marble Falls, Tx. Matt's family has a lake house that we get to use periodically. We joined OD and DD at the Lake for a few days of splashing in the pool, playing in the lake, and some really fun boat rides! It was so nice to get away and get to focus 100% on playing with the kids without housework or work to think about. It was a much needed vacation for the Cole family. Thanks to OD and DD for letting us stay. Here are a few pictures of our trip! Stay tuned for pictures of our week at Nana and Grandanny's house this week. My sister, Brady, Jacob, Hannah, and I are heading up to Rockwall on Tuesday for a few days. Please pray for Kim and I....One car, three carseats, three kids! This might call for some serious ADVIL and a Route 44 Diet Coke from Sonic!

Our Visitors!

We had a busy week and some very helpful visitors! Nana and Granny were in town to help with our garage sale last weekend. Then they spent a couple days with cousin Brady and came back to our house to play with the kids and help out with a few projects with my garage sale money! We finally finished decorating Jacob's big boy room! Yes....I know.....he has been in this room for 17 months now and it has been a work in progress. When you have two children that are 18 months apart, a job, and housework to complete, house projects get pushed aside. We got a lot accomplished and I will post the pictures of Jacob's room later. We also finished decorating my small bathroom in our bedroom. It is now cozy and not quite as bad as I thought! Granny and Nana emptied my very very full ironing basket! They played with the kids while I went to my office on Thursday. Thanks so much to Granny and Nana for a fun and productive week. Here are a few pictures from the week.

Jacob doesn't look like his daddy at all does he?

Jacob yelled "Mommy look..." I found him on Hannah's changing table
