Playing Catch Up!

These are out of order...but I needed to play catch up a bit...sorry...I promise to be a better blogger!

Angler, Cole and Otis

Cole and Mommy goofin off with the camera...I love his sweet little face!

The Magic Teething Giraffe...Sophie...moms, if you don't have one - get one!  Cole loves her!!!

Cole and his Dude...his second sleepover with the Fowler Grandparents while mom and dad enjoyed their 5 year anniversary! (The fuzzy yellow hat was Patrick's when he was a baby)

OK...THE BELOW PICS ARE TAKEN THE WEEKEND BEFORE LAST AT CHARLESTOWNE LANDING WITH TOMMY AND EMILY...IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR A STROLL!

The soon-to-be Mrs. Costanzo :)

Tony and Tiny Tony...haha!

Love Cole's expression...even though he's not looking at the camera!

What a good lookin couple!  Love them!!!

Cole & Wappaoolah Plantation Turkey Hunt

Ok...sorry I have been out of touch for a while and to post a million pics at one time...but here goes:

First time in my high chair

 

Doing his ab workout...he does this ALL THE TIME...it cracks us up...guess he's just working on core strength!



He LOVES his jumper!



Ok...this is what we did this past weekend!  We were lucky enough to be invited out to the Mead's UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL land, Wappaoolah Plantation, to hang out and turkey hunt(Cole and I played at "The Roost" and strolled around this amazing land while daddy went out for his first turkey hunt ever...and as luck may have it, got his first turkey!  It had an 8 1/2 inch beard and weighed 18 pounds!  Go daddy!  What an amazing weekend with great people, food and fun...paying for the pollen exposure today though! :)

All of the Women in the Outdoors hunters...maybe I'll be in this pic next year! :)

The Branham Boys with their turkey's...they each got one on the same day...how often does that happen?

Tony and his turkey and me and mine!



First Taste of Cereal

Cole had his first taste of something other than formula today...and LOVED it! We could hardly get him to smile between spoonfuls for a picture because he was so concerned about getting the next bite into his mouth.  Too funny!  He wasn't exactly sure what to do with it and was sort of blowing rasberries as he ate, but I believe he'll get the hang of it soon and have no doubt we've got a good eater on our hands.  He would grab at the spoon and help get it in his mouth and then want to suck at the spoon like it was a bottle...then he'd get a death grip on the spoon and wouldn't want to give it back for me to put more on it.  He also had his fingers in his mouth with each bite(as you can see below).  He may have loved the mess as much as the food.  He had to go straight to the tub after he finished his bowl...you can see why in the last pic!

It's so much fun that he's sitting up and eating like a big boy, but a part of me wants to keep him cuddled in my arms with a bottle!  Time really does fly when you're having fun!!!



The First Bite!



Here's my death grip...haha!



It appears that he's a fan...a messy fan!





Give me more!!!





Our mohawk man



Fabulous Evening!

We went back to where we took pics 5 years ago and Tony took me to the garden where we were wed

 and gave me a beautiful ring...sapphires and diamonds!  Sapphire's are the traditional 5 year anniversary gift and also Cole's birthstone---extra special---!

We then went to dinner at Husk...it was delicious!

    They had Krispy Kreme Ice Cream, but I was too full to have any(an excuse to return :). 

Looking forward to many more year together! 

5 Years Ago Today...

two best friends tied the knot!  Happy 5 year anniversary to us! :)  Looking forward to dinner out at Husk tonight and spending the day together.  On another note...we may give Cole his first taste of cereal today...stay posted for pics!

Blogging Branham's

We finally have a blog...More pics coming soon!
