Coles First Pack Meeting

Well now that Cole is 8 he now gets to be in Cub Scouts. He is SO excited to be in Scouts. Last night for Pack Meeting they had two men from the Air Force come and teach the boys Flag Etiquette. This is really special to me because my mom raised me to respect my Flag and my Country and to bee thankful for where I live. I'm pretty emotional when it comes to anything patriotic.

Well they asked Cole if he would like to Post the Colors for his first time. After some coaxing from his leader he decided he could do that. I was so proud of him the way he handled himself and of course I welled up. He told me when we got home that when the "Soldier" gave him the flag he started to cry and got all "tingly" in side. I was a pretty proud mom last night.

My little Cole is growing up way fast!

Happy Birthday Cole!

My little (big) Boy Cole is 8 years old today. I can hardly believe it, I was telling him last night how on this day 8 years ago I was wanting him to come so badly but than when the doctor told me it was time to go I was all of the sudden not ready! I'm so glad he is here with us and so grown up that he will be baptized in less than 2 weeks. How time flies! We are so thankful that he is here in our family and we would not trade him for anything. He is such a great big brother to Payton and is caring to all of us when we are down or sick. I am going to surprise him this afternoon and eat lunch with him and than on Saturday he gets to have his first friend birthday party, He is so way excited. I will always love you forever!
