The 3 sleeping Coleman's...


I've had this picture awhile and had forgotten to post it! That's right Nate, Tal and Matt all snoozin' away-for about 3 hours (I kid you not)!! They talked about that nap for the rest of the day... they must have been pretty proud! Hey guys, where's my nap? I guess I couldn't have taken the picture if I was sawing logs too, right!!! Good job boys!

The company picnic

Last weekend Matt's dad had their annual company picnic where everyone from work comes out to there property and has a great time! There was fishing and swimming in the lake, a shooting contest for the "manly men," four wheeler and jet ski rides, crafts for the kiddies, and some of the best food on the planet! But the part that stole the show was the horse rides. Wow!! It was a hit. Our friend Karen was amazingly kind and brought 2 of her beautiful horses to share with us. Emma and Tal both had some fun friends that came out to party! Emma had such a great time at the lake I couldn't convince her to change out of her swim suit and back into her clothes. Oh well... it's not what's on the body, but what goes in it, right?!?! It was fun for all that came... Good friends, Good food-what more can you ask for! 
Tal and his new buddy Hudson just hangin' out in the shade. Tal was born just 2 weeks after Hudson.



Emma in her cool visor and "Emma" sunglasses that she made!


Matt was in charge of the shooting contest so we went to say hello. Emma put on the ear protection cup-things and wasn't quite sure about it! "I can't hear, Mommy. Let's go!" So we did!




"Scout," the horse was awesome! In the last picture Scout started to trot a bit and took Emma by surprise! What a little cowgirl!

Emma had 2 fun friends to run around with. And needless to say she slept like a champ that night-they wore each other out!

Emma and cute Cammie waiting for their ride on the horses!

Bubbles and being outside... what could be better then that? Emma and Ali thought it was great. After the bubbles they had some fun on the grass. Although, I'm not sure how much fun Ali is having there on the bottom!


It was a long day, but well worth it! We look forward to the next one!!

Born to be a Cards fan...

Tal is looking very loyal to his team with his new buddy next to him! Emma let Tal borrow her Fred Bird and told him all about who Fred Bird is. She still hopes that one time at the game she'll get to meet the real Fred Bird..."cause he's funny!" We'll work on that!
But for now all Tal needs to know is that the we cheer for the Red Birds... even though they lost last night ;)

2 months old!!!


Tal's is getting bigger and better all the time. He was very tough for his shots today at the doctor's (he had to get 4... no fun). His top notch stats were: 12.8 pounds, 24 inches long, and 15.6 head circumference! Good job buddy!

Swimming at the pool

It finally stopped raining here so we were able to make use of our sub-division pool. We love having one so close. It's a life saver during the summer!!
Emma showed off her pretty new swim suit. 
Although Tal didn't get wet, he still looked very cool in his swim suit.
Matt has just as much fun and the kids do. The neighbor kids love when he is there cause he'll play all of their silly games!
Yes, I even got in too. Don't be so surprised!!!
Emma had to wear her goggles even though she doesn't put her face in the water. This picture is perfect: top of the hair dry... bottom nice and wet!!!

Swimming and nail polish!

 


Two of Emma's most favorite things right now: swimming lessons and painting her OWN nails. That's right, she painted her own finger and toe nails. I've never seen her concentrate so hard on something. She was so proud of herself when she was done and made sure they were nice and dry so she wouldn't "smudge" them. Very pretty!

Last week she started swimming lessons. She thinks it's pretty neat to do it without mommy in the pool. She loves her teacher Miss Lyndsey and the other 2 girls in her class (Grace and Tristin). She practices all the things she learns at home. She'll follow me down the hallway doing the "side stroke" (so funny) and then she'll show me the "back stroke" on the way back. She loves to put on a show!
