last week we went to my oldest niece's school play - can't even believe she is old enough to be in a school play - 1st grade sneaks up on you fast! she was beautiful of course and colin was so excited to see his "lolly" - we went to the store and he picked out special flowers just for her.  adorable.

baby elijah cole will be officially joining our family in about 16 weeks and i have been having so much fun thinking of stuff to make for him.  i made him a cute (but not very straight) blanket but forgot to take a picture before i gave it to my sister.  the latest baby item i made were some burp cloths - apparently using cloth diapers as burp cloths are all the rage right now and it makes total sense.  those diapers are so thick they should do the trick just right.  again, they aren't perfect but i don't think he will mind too much.

we were playing outside yesterday and colin saw my camera and wanted to take some pictures - sweet boy. he looks so serious in the first one. 

we were trying to get one of us and our best friend henry - at least we were close.

i went grocery shopping this morning and they had signs posted about a free petting zoo behing H-E-B this afternoon so we mosied on down - figured why not let the little one practice the petting zoo before the rodeo next saturday? and, did i mention that it was free?  and the grocery store is like 10 big steps from our house? 

we didn't know if he would actually get on the pony even though he kept insisting he wanted to do it.  i think it helped that his daddy walked around with him.  so cute and i know he is going to absolutely love seeing all the animals at the rodeo next weekend.
