Month of July?

Country Fair
Gma Marie and Gpa Norman took Cole to the Country Fair for the first time. (this would be Cole’s first time) He came home with many stories (some fun ones) full from all the food he kept eating and he was worn out from all the walking.

Here Cole is playing a video game. I believe you had to shoot the unicorn down as it flew around the screen. I love the Country Fair!

Last Baseball Game.
Cole and I were able to make his last baseball game, he had a great season and made lots of new friends. Say goodbye to his hair too!
4th of July
Cole and I spent the weekend with Rachelle and Connie for the fourth and we fit in quite a few activities.
Fishing.Connie is looking for yet ANOTHER lure that Cole snagged after Rachelle couldn’t get it loose.
Connie and Cole both swam looking for one of the four, five or six lures that he caught on the trees and stumps. No fish this day.

Riddle fireworks were GREAT! (shaved head)

We hung out on the football field, listened to a live band and watched a wonderful display of fireworks all the while listening to the drunks behind us yelled “Whhooooooooooo”. Ask Cole, he will give you and example of what they sounded like. Funny.

Mom’s Day Timer!
It was a sad day / week for me. Waiting for a new calendar in the mail and trying to salvage information out of this one. No batteries here though so I didn’t loose too much data although my .jpg’s were a total loss.
I don’t know how I could have missed this in my pocket before washing my shorts but I did. I tried to blame this on Oma but she and Jo were still out of town, I just need to think on it some more to make it her fault.

Day at the Young Belmont’s
We spent a day hanging out and playing at my brother’s home and with his family. It was a long busy day but very fun, like always!
Cole’s finally tall enough to ride the little 50cc dirt bike, so with a little instruction and our fingers crossed we sent him on his way. He rode…and rode…and rode…and…rode. I did have to pull him over once and tell him he was going too fast, and remind him to shift once in a while but the little man did great!

(top to bottom; Cole, Tina and Todd)

Todd bought himself a beautiful new bike that I too just had to try out. After a slow lap around the property to get the feel I then gave it quite a bit more gas. A little jump here and there…Oh, I was a smiling woman! (hmmm…didn’t get a photo of Derian, next time)

Just a couple shots of a proud Little Man who is growing very fast!
The kids also got some swimming in while at the house. At one point Uncle Todd grabbed the kids and threw them into the pool with their cloths still on. I think Cole and Jo were a little surprised by this but laughed while Derian said something like “See what I live with?”

Working at age 7
The kids have asked me to come to work with me like they have with Oma once in a while. I explained that it will be different than Oma’s work, like there will be no rope swing, basketball and no PE type cloths. At my work there will be sheep, horses, patients, dogs, stethoscopes, rubber gloves and dress shoes.

Marry and (Dr.) Cole check out some fungus on a foot.

When Mary asked him to join her for a fourth patient Cole said “More? I have already seen three.” He then joined me in my office and played some video games and petted Carly the dog. Guess he is not quite ready for a full time job.

At lunch Dana (coworker) took us to her home so she could share her horse with us and give Cole a ride.
He had many laps around the field and smiled the whole time.

Jo’s Day at Work
Mary gave Jo a smock to wear while examining patients.
(Dr.) Jo is learning to listen to Lou’s heart and count the beats.
She then helped take an x-ray and got to point to the area that was the point of concern.







Lunch time: Jo also got to ride a horse with Dana!
Jo really enjoyed giving loves and talking to them.

A day at work with Mom. Diverse for sure!
