POOL BUDDIES

Austin enjoys playing around with Josh in the pool!

FEARLESS in the POOL

HADLEY has no fear of the water at all. She jumps in, with or without her swimmies, and loves going under the water. Sometimes I wonder if she will come back up! She is a "Little Mermaid".

Miniture Golf

SarahBeth has been begging to play miniture golf for over a week. I finally gave in, against my better judgement, and took her today. Boy was it HOT! But we still had a good time. Josh even went along.

I hate to brag...but I beat them both!

NEWEST MEMBER OF THE FAMILY

Kaylee Ruth Cole was born April 21, 2008. She weighed 8lbs 8oz. Kaylee spent the first seven weeks in the hospital. She is home with her mom and dad and big brother Jeremiah now. Kaylee came swimming the other day. She is such a beautiful baby, with big blue eyes and dark hair. She looks like a little china doll!

JUST ANOTHER DAY

Mike started his second cycle of chemotherapy this week. As you can see from his picture, he has not only lost some weight, but he also lost his hair. This is a picture of Mike at the doctor's office where he spends a lot of his time these days. The nurses there are great and I really like his doctor as well. Please keep Mike in your thoughts and prayers as he continues with his treatments over the next nine weeks!

WE SURVIVED THE APACHE TRAIL

On Father's Day, Mike and I took Clint, his girlfriend Amber, and SarahBeth on a drive through the Superstition Mountains along the Apache Trail. We wanted Amber to have a chance to see some of the landscape of Arizona before she went back to Georgia. This was the first time I had ever made the drive as well! The scenery was beautiful. It turned out to be a fun and memorable afternoon.

FUNNY FACES

Hadley thinks her brothers are silly!

Austin and Carter

All kids love to play around. I asked the kids to make "funny faces" and this is what I got!
