Our Little Pumpkin

Check out Cole's new Halloween outfit! It says "Daddy's Little Monster" on it.

Lazy Weekend

Snuggling in our lazy-day pjs

Bath time! Cole will not be embarrassed by this picture when he is a teenager as he has strategically placed the fish toy. Smart kid.

All clean! Fortunately you cannot tell from this pic that Cole had his toenails painted by some boys at Nora's preschool this past week.

Cole's Halloween pajamas....they say, "I want my Mummy!" on them!

We enjoyed a relaxing lazy weekend, for the most part. Friday night we brought Cole (aka Tigger) to the Cooper Costume Ball. We were all a little overwhelmed by all of the kindergarten through fifth graders running around in costumes. Between that and the food, DJ, and parents, it is quite a sight. Cole stayed amused by all of the action and attention he received from doting fifth graders wanting to get a long-awaited glimpse of Cole in person....much better than the picture on my desk!

Saturday Grandpa and Grandma Iverson came up to visit. They spent time with Cole while Ryan went to get some firewood for our pit with his cousin Dan and I got to take a trip to Target alone! Dan and his girlfriend April came over and my parents took us all out for dinner. Then they left and April hooked up her new Nintendo Wii. Have you ever played? Really fun. After a bonfire and sleepover, we had breakfast in the morning and spent most of the day in our pjs.

Bayfield Apple Fest (another late post)

The first weekend in October we went to Bayfield for the annual Apple Festival. The three of us (Cole took Bailey's spot this year) went with our friends Josh and Steph (no Evan this year) and Drew and Betsy. After roaming Bayfield eating tons of junk, we checked out the boats at the dock and then on to the orchard to pick delicious apples.

Sunday we went to our friend Celia's first birthday party in Elk River. It was fun to see her running around, opening presents, and making a mess out of her cake. It's hard to believe she's a year old already....although even harder to believe Cole is not far behind her! Happy Belated Birthday Celia! We had fun celebrating with you!

Another Late Entry: Twins

A couple of weeks ago Cole and mommy went to visit Grandpa and Grandma Iverson again while Ryan was out hunting with his buddies for the weekend. Since Grandpa Iverson is obsessed with pugs (only the stuffed kind that require minimum maintenance) he decided to get Cole his own pug just like his in a miniature version. They also happened to be dressed the same -- although different brand loyalties (my dad is wearing Polo and Cole is wearing Guess). How cute is that?
