After already celebrating his birthday last week with his good buddy Matt at his house, and then with our family at Red Robin, and then with his other good buddy Zach at his house, and then with our whole family on Thanksgiving ... TODAY was actually, really, finally Cole's actual birthday! Our "shirtless wonder" as we lovingly call him (the kid hates to have a shirt on unless he absolutely has to!) turned five years old today! I can hardly believe it! Those of who who have known Cole since his beginning, know that his first year was a rough one. There were many days that I honestly didn't know if I would make it ... and now I look at this precious boy and my heart is filled with such an amazing amount of love and an unbelievable amount of thankfulness to our Lord for blessing us with this incredible boy!
Mama's homemade caramel roll, one more candle to blow out, and a couple of more gifts ...
What is it?
Oooh! Daddy found some more Cars cars that he doesn't have ... (I really don't know how that is even possible)...
And the Clone Wars movie ... the brothers were pretty pumped about this gift, too!
Then off to church, lunch with Zach and family at the Mayan, and then the Olympia Christmas parade and dinner with Matt and family. What a fun day!
We love you, Colio! You are a joy to our family. Your infectious smile and "puppy eyes" warm our hearts, your love for learning is already amazing, and we are so proud of the boy you are growing to be!

Happy 5th B-day Cole!! What a fun(and busy) week you had!!
Love ya-Uncle Tim, Auntie Jen

Cole seems to be such a testimony of God's grace- I love hearing your wisdom gained from his life Gwen. It gives me encouragement- and I really respect what you have told me about this one that we are waiting for. Has given me hope too! Can't believe its been 5 years now. He is one handsome boy too =) with an awesome personality- we have been told (and of course the awesome parents too), what do you guys think about arranged marriages??
Candace -
Cole IS an amazing testimony of God's grace! And of His faithfulness in blessing our obedience, even when (maybe especially when!) it's difficult.
And, if the arranged marriage includes any of your children, we are DEFINITELY in!
We cannot wait to meet your newest little guy! You are sooo close!!
Happy Birthday Cole! Hope the day was wonderful!
Great week of celebrations! Glad we were in on some of it! Love you Cole!
