Cole's new room!

We moved Cole into his brand new bedroom on Sunday night. He has done absolutely great! I got some great bunk beds and he helped me move all his toys and clothes into his new room. He was really excited to sleep on his bunk bed and even climbed up the ladder to the top bunk once before we decided the ladder needed to be put away for another time:-) He hasn't gotten up at all yet! (It might have something to do with the rails we put along the whole open side of the bed:-) We're planning to remove one of them in the next couple of weeks once he's used to the bed. We'll see what happens then! We've still got a little while before the new baby comes in Dec. but thought it'd be good to get him used to a new room. This morning we went in his old room and he saw his crib and said, "I want to sleep in this bed.". He knows a baby is in Mommy's tummy but I don't think he has a clue that it means a baby will be coming and sleeping in our house, in his old bed, and will take up a lot of our attention! He'll be such a good big brother though and we can't wait!!!

Cabin fun!

We went up to my parent's cabin last weekend for a Bunn family get-together (my mom's side of the family). It was tons of fun! We floated the river on air mattresses, played croquet, fished, watched movies, played games, and did lots of relaxing! Cole actually went up a couple of days before Adam and I with my mom. It was the first time he'd spent the night away from both Adam and I and he hardly knew we weren't there! He spent time with lot of second cousins, finding bugs and frogs with Papa, and getting spoiled by Granny! It was a really nice couple of days to just relax, get my hair done, and be able to run errands without getting him in and out of the car but I was definitely ready to see my boy!

My mom has lots of fun toys up there for the kids and Cole found her elephant mask collection so he had to try it on along with Adam and Uncle Casey. Jason, Missy's hubby, caught his first fish on a fly rod so he was pretty excited! It was great to be able to be there, enjoying family!

Applesauce

My parents fruit trees are loaded this year and we had fun the other day picking apricots and apples. Not knowing what all to do with the fruit when I got home, I started looking for apricot recipes on the internet. I made an apricot pie, dried apricots, and some apricot turnovers that Adam really loved because I only got one of them:-) I also made some apple turnovers (Cole helped me roll out the dough) and decided to make a batch of applesauce to freeze. Cole got up from his nap just as I was getting the apples peeled. He loves helping and doing things himself and my apple peeler-corer-slicer was perfect for him! He was soooooooo excited! Here's a little video to show you what a good helper he is!

At the Lake...

A guy that Adam works with and his wife invited us to go boating at Arrowrock Dam with them this weekend and since we finally had a weekend that we were actually home, we took them up on it! It was really fun and nice to just relax out on the water and cruise around while watching the guys wakeboard! (I sadly had to take this summer off of wakeboarding in an effort to keep our second child safe:-)

Adam had some good attempts at 360's and tried a couple of backflips which looked really cool!!! He was a little sore today as you can imagine! Cole decided to get in on the action too once he decided the water wasn't all that bad and that Daddy wasn't going to leave him. Adam took him on his first ride on the inner-tube behind the boat and he loved it! When they went over bumps you could just see him break into a huge smile and Adam said he kept telling him, "More bumps, more bumps!".

It was a fun day, no sunburns, and we all slept long and hard after a good day in the sun!
