All things outdoors

Last weekend we went out to Bridgeland (a master planned community that a friend lives in) and went to a festival called Naturefest. We went last year and had fun, but it was much bigger this year. I'm glad we went again. Here are some pictures.


Carter loved the petting zoo, as usual. Funny thing, it was the same petting zoo that was at church last weekend. No special occasion, they just had a fun little surprise for the kids in the Kingdom Club (that's the childrens ministry there).



They had pony rides, but Carter picked the one and only donkey. I'd make a cute "jack ass" joke, but I love my husband :)

They had some bounce houses and Carter burnt a lot of energy in one. Cole just had to look from the outside, but he wanted in. Can't say I blame him.

The big slide. Carter did this one and the obstacle course multiple times. Needless to say, he took a great nap that afternoon.

They also had a firetruck and ambulance there from the CyFair Volunteer Fire Dept. You might recall we went to their Fire Fest last year. I'm so glad they're going to do it again, we'll be there. Carter loved pretending to drive the truck.

And here is our "new" backyard slide. Seth and Jen weren't using theirs anymore so we took it off their hands. Carter loves it. Cole can't climb yet, but he will soon.

In the mean time, we keep Cole on a blanket with some toys.

Here is Cole's newest and funniest expression. He does it alot. He waves his arms like he's trying to take off and makes this silly face. It's hilarious.

Here is Cole playing peekaboo with me in his crib. He's trying to pull up on the rail. He can get to his knees, but not a standing position. We need to lower his crib soon so we beat him to the punch.

Here is Cole with Carter's underwear on his head. Carter was refusing to put them on so I stuck them on Cole. Of course, Carter subsequently HAD to have them back. Works every time. This time I had to get a cute picture.

For those of you that didnt' know it, I had misplaced my video camera for almost 2 weeks. I was physically ill over it. Mom and Dad gave that to us when we found out we were pregnant with Carter, so the fact that it was a gift was difficult. Plus, Cole is on the verge of crawling and I kept thinking I was going to miss it. Every time the boys did something cute I would smile but then get upset because I couldn't capture it on video. Well Sunday night Brian found it - OUTSIDE! It was on the fence. It had been there for 3 weeks and had endured lots of rain. But it still works. I'm so amazed - thank you God.

I've taken several small videos lately of Cole eating. He's really getting into the table food stage. And he makes funny sounds. I'll have to download them to my computer and get them on the blog soon.
