NINE!

Can you believe he turned 9 years old?  I can't.  This year (being an odd-year birthday) he got to choose a date place to go with Mommy/Daddy.  He chose a movie (The Amazing Spiderman) and dinner at Texas Roadhouse.  He was super excited to sit on the saddle and order his favorite RIBS.  It was a fun night for the 3 of us!



His birthday actually fell on mother's day this year.  Every year on Mother's day, Shayne tells the boys they have to be my slave for a day.  How else to celebrate their mom?  The quote of the year from Cole - 
"What are planning to do for your birthday this year Cole?"
"As LITTLE as possible!" 

He considered himself exempt from being my slave - since it was his birthday.

Here he's doing the push-up challenge.  This is new this year - a dollar per push-up on your birthday.  He did manage 11 this year.  We're in trouble when Hunter's birthday rolls around (he's already prepping)!

Beloved Legos - lots and lots of Legos.


Nana & Papa gave Cole a "make-up" kit for doing gross effects - ie a big black eye.  The next day,  Cole had a good bruiser.   It looked real!  The following morning, he crashed on his bike on the way to school.  When he went to the office for a bandage for his hand, the secretary was more concerned about his black eye.  Can you imagine her surprise when he said - "Oh no, that's just make-up!"  That made me laugh!

All about Cole:
Favorite Movie: The Lego Movie
Favorite thing to do: Play with friends and mix potions
Best Friend: Connor
When he grows up he'll be a scientist
If he could do anything in the world he would be the world's smartest scientist and figure out cures for ALL diseases
His favorite part about turning 9: closer to turning 12 to get the Priesthood
