Dallas Aquarium

This last weekend we headed down to Dallas for one of my cousin's wedding.  Saturday during the day we headed to the aquarium to check it out.  Cole loved it!!

Right after we got there!

Watching a monkey!

Watching penguins!

Too busy to pay attention!

Pumpkin Patch

Weekend before last we headed to the pumpkin patch to get the obligatory first fall pics with Cole.  He loved it!  He loves animals, outside and apparently pumpkins!

Family photo in front of the welcome sign.

Cole loved the pony ride!

So much so we took him twice!!

When did my baby start looking like a little boy??

Family pic on a tractor tire.

Cole thought the cutouts were HILARIOUS!

Cole Needs a Cat

Stevie is watching Cole this week and here's some pics of Cole loving on Mushu!












This baby LOVES to rub soft things on his face! (I wonder who he gets that from)

10 months!!!

Cole was ten months old yesterday!  Here are a couple favorites from his monthly pictures.

This first one, we had just set him down and then he spotted his binky on the side table and decided he needed it!

Finally got the binky in his mouth, glaring at Daddy while he makes goofy faces trying to get a smile!

And the closest to a smile!

Calgary

I spent the first half of last week in Calgary for an SPE Symposium. I went up a day early to spend some time sightseeing. This is me, the newest RCMP at Fort Calgary! (Royal Canadian Mounted Police)

Here I am atop the Calgary Tower having lunch in the rotating restaurant! Yes, it made me nauseous!

The birthplace of the Caesar is in Calgary, so I had to have one!

Here I am standing on the glass floor of the Calgary Tower, 525' in the air!!

This is Stephens Ave, an artsy shopping district in downtown.

I definitely want to visit Calgary again, but hopefully next time with Cole and Ryan
