Cole's 2nd Birthday

Well, here are pics from Cole's party. Poor Cole, I am a little behind since now it is Oct. and his b-day was in August. Anyway, a few words to describe the 2 year old, also known as Cole.....

Full of Energy, Opinionated, Smiley, Particular, Passionate,Precise, Friendly, Technical, Jokester, Animated, Determined( a nice way of saying strong willed) and, as we affectionately call him,....Our little buddy

Little Lady Bug in Red

Ahh the perfect age... 7 months old. She sits up by herself, she laughs and smiles all the time! I want to say, FREEZE, stay this way for a while. Having a little girl is wonderful and quite a change from the rambunctiousness of our little guy. (not that we don't love that too) Chandler loves her big brother though, and he makes her giggle all the time. She is a true angel.

Snodgrass Summer Colorado Trip

Cole's first train ride. He LOVED it!! This is where the obsession with
trains began.

We took the train to a wild life park... the water and trees were so

pretty. The kiddos did great! Especially Cole.. with NO nap.

Cole spend most of the train ride on G-Pa's lap.

More pics from the trip to follow later!!

Baptism Day

We went to my grandparent's house in Ark. about a month ago, where we had Chandler baptized at my grndparent's church. The ceremony was especially meaningful because Chandler Johanna's namesake, her great grandmother-Irene Johanna, was there to stand up for her along with her great grandfather. She looked beautiful in her white dress!! As you can see.. Her daddy was proud:))

Happy 4th!!

Chandler and mommy!

To celebrate the 4th... the night before we went to April and Matt's for a cook out and swimming. Cole had a great time swimming, and got a little too brave and fell into the deep water!! Luckily, daddy was there to fish him out. Chandler slept almost the whole visit. As you can see she had two 4th of July outfits. The day of the 4th we went to get ice cream and that was about it because it rained.

The Sarahs

Happy 30th Sarah!! These pics of me and the two Sarahs were taken at a restaurant where we celebrated Sarah S.'s birthday and also sadly said "goodbye" to her before she moved to New Mexico. Sarah and I both miss our neighbor and friend!!

Best Buds

The other day Brock came over to play in the backyard and the two of them decided it would be fun to flip the pool over and climb on top of it. Both of them were laughing histerically and having a grand time! I have a feeling one day that the two of them are going to be quite a pair getting into trouble together. RyAnn and I can't wait!!

Girlie Girl

Little Miss Chandler is getting close to three months old. Can you
believe it. Her little personality is already shining through. She is
sweet spirited and easy going. Oh, and quite the girlie girl!!!

Mr. Personality

Here are some recent pics of our little guy. His new favorite word is "NO"!
He enjoys eating at the big table these days and locking and unlocking all the doors (scary huh?) He also likes loving on his new baby sister which annoys her most times!

New Pics

Here are a couple of recent pics of our new little sweetie!! She is sleeping through the night and doing great!!!

A Fun Day at Brock's House

On Tuesday, we went to play at Cole's friend Brock's house. They were so excited to see each other. Since the weather was nice, we spent most of our day playing outside. The boys enjoyed sidewalk chalk for the first time. Cole did great with it, but we put it away when Brock started eating it. Cole enjoyed sliding, climbing, and riding on the toys. We didn't get any pictures of Chandler because she was peacefully sleeping.

Little Sweetie

My sweet friends Sarah Franklin and Sarah Sturgeon were
gracious enough to take some sweet pictures of our little angel
Chandler for us to have and for her announcements. She slept
most of the times. but we were able to get her to open her eyes for
a couple of the shots!!! She was really cooperative considering....
I am so thankful for my two precious neighbors and friends!!!!!
