Why?

The "whys" are begining.

Me: Cole, you need to sit down when you eat.

Cole: Why?

Me: so you don't choke on your cereal bar.

Me: Cole, I have to go to work

Cole: Why?

Me: So I can buy you diapers so you don't poop on the floor.

Will these make me fat?

Our Trip to Sonoma County

I got to meet my friends Drew and Lilly.

Up until now I only saw them on the computer.

They have GIANT balloons that fly over their back yard!

We went to the Sonoma County Fair.

I got $20 from Grandma Carole and Grandpa Glenn.

I did not want to use any of my money for the photo booth.

Can you see how I sabotage the pictures???

I got to go on a dog ride that went around in circles.

Dad looks ok, but he almost puked.

I got to pet a pig!

One of the animals in there ate mommy's shirt when we walked in!

The highlight of my day and well worth my money was the ice cream!

Plus I got to ride on a horse that bounced up and down.

Our friends the Petersen's

After the fair we played in the water.

This is what meal time looks like with 3 kids!

Monkey see, Monkey do

Lindsey, He learned a new trick....

The Trainers

(No walls were harmed in the blind run through the house)

He's also in bed and it's not even 8pm!

Baby Fredy

I had an ultrasound today. I wanted to make sure that there was only 1 and not 2 in there. So.....there is only one! It is 1 inch from head to butt, about the size of a green grape. It's heart rate is about 171 bpm which is normal. From what we could tell, it has two arms and 2 legs so it isn't a mutant! :-) Next ultra sound will be at 20 weeks.

Conversations with Cole

Airplane flying overhead:



Cole: who's that? (head tilts back till he almost loses balance)

Microwave dings or phone rings:



Cole: who is it? or who's that?



Dogs barking:



Cole: what's that? followed by his puffing out his cheeks and "barking"



Mike arriving home from work:



Cole: (looking out the window, dancing) Dad! Hi Dad!



if Mike does not come in right away it turns into:



Cole: where's dad?



Cole, did you poop?



Cole: shakes head - even though there is a HUGE turd in his pants.

Bed head at it's best

Public Announcement

Dear fans at Hills Flat Lumber,

I wanted to let you all know that I am doing OK after my encounter with the picnic table. As far as physical wounds, I have a nickle sized bruise on my right cheek that is slightly purple. Mentally I have begun to intentionally fart and burp for attention and I have started to pants my mom at the most inappropriate times. Last night I did it when her hands were covered in bacon fat and her only choice was to finish the bacon or cover me with bacon fat. Which option do you think the pregnant lady chose? I bet she's enjoying that bacon for lunch!

Sincerely,

Cole Thomas Fredy

Why grocery shopping when pregnant and famished is a bad idea...

Hey, at least 2 of these are only 170 calories.  

Makes these former favorites of mine no longer enter my belly at 440 calories a piece!

And of course, Cole being Cole

When Brenden and Cole are next to each other they look normal sized.

They are moose's that tower over the rest!

Wipeout

Cole is enjoying his new favorite show - wipeout- his favorite part....

The Big Balls

Getting Creative

How to have fun indoors when it is too smokey to play outside...

1. find bottle of lotion

2. when mom and dad aren't looking squeeze lotion on to floor

3. rub it around to make floor slippery 

4. enjoy sliding in it

8 weeks Pregnant - 32 weeks to go!

Cravings: Potatoes (gross fast food french fries!!!) & fruit

Saturdays dinner consisted of Mashed potatoes topped with cheddar, green onions and bacon! Yum!!!

Food that makes me sick to think about: vegetables, salad, meat - although I have to force myself to eat it! Baby needs those good foods!

Nauseated: YES!

Exhausted: YES! my bed time is going down by 15 minutes each night.  9:45 tonight....

Body feels like I blew up like a balloon.  Very bloated....ok that is not displayed well in this photo, but it still feels like it.
