Zoo Day with the Graessers

Jacob and Hannah had such a fun Friday. They got to go to the zoo with their friends Hannah and Ellie. We were at the zoo for almost 4 hours, so we had some tired kiddos on the way home! Here are some pictures from the day.

A little lunch before the fun began

Okay mom, I smiled...Can we go see the animals now?

All 4 children looking in the
direction of the camera...AMAZING!

Splash Pad Fun!

"I'll get wet if you do!"


Hey Mom, come get wet with me!

Ellie loved the frog shooting water.

Hey, where did the water go?

Ready to go home after a fun day!

My Sweet Angels

If there is anyone out there who still checks my blog, I decided since it has been so long since I have updated that I would give you all a treat....Professional Pictures! Portrait Innovations is a great place to go! We got to take home the CD of all the poses! Here are just a few. We are all doing well in the Cole household. Mommy, Jacob, and Hannah visited Grandanny and Nana last weekend to help give a shower for Ms. Jennifer. Daddy stayed home and helped OD and DD move some stuff from their house since they are about to start remodeling. Everyone is healthy and happy. Hannah is walking everywhere now and it is fun chasing two kids around the house!

Playdate with Bailey

This morning, Mommy, Jacob, and Hannah met Ms. Jennifer and Bailey at Katy Mills Mall for a little play date. Bailey loves holding baby Hannah, which is good since she will be a big sister in two months to her baby brother. Ms. Jennifer will have little Campbell in May. Bailey, Jacob, and Hannah had a great time playing! Thanks for the play date!

Livestock show

Well today, Mommy, Jacob, Hannah, and DD headed down to the Houston Livestock Show and petting zoo. We saw lots of animals and even got to pet some of them. Jacob was a little skeptical about petting them, but Hannah had no fear. Jacob rode the pony ride while keeping a hold on mommy. I was proud of him for doing it though. I really didn't think he would ride. We also saw a pig race. It was very entertaining. What a fun day we had and then we all took naps when we got home. Mommy was really tired from holding Hannah to and from the car. Little Ms. Priss weighs 24 lbs and is 29 in long according to her 1 year check up yesterday. She is in excellent health! Well here are some pictures from today.

Party Pictures

Let's try this again....maybe I can upload the pictures from Hannah's party this time.

My baby is ONE!

Our sweet Hannah Grace turned ONE yesterday. I can't believe it. I was looking back at pictures from the hospital when she was in the NICU and I cannot believe how fast this year has gone. Our little princess had her birthday party yesterday at our house. We celebrated with friends and family and it was a lot of fun. Hannah laughed and played with all of her friends, cousins, and her big brother of course. I will upload the video of her eating her cake later, it takes so long and I am tired from our weekend of festivities. Now my computer is not wanting to cooperate to let me upload pictures, so sorry guys, you will have to wait until tomorrow to see the celebration.

Rodeo Day

Yesterday was an exciting day in the Cole Household. It was Mommy and Daddy's 4th anniversary and Rodeo day at Jacob's Mother's Day Out. Here are pictures of our little cowboy and cowgirl! (We had to let Hannah dress up too, just for pictures)

Giddy Up Horse! Let's go!


Are you done with the camera yet mom?


This is so fun mom, can I go to school for rodeo day?
