Sunday Best

I was taking pictures of Cole once again performing after church. She was spinning around in her dress. When I put it on her yesterday morning, she said, "Oh, beautiful!" And beautiful she is!

Nana's Visit

We enjoyed Nana being with us this past week. Cole had an eye appointment in Springfield where the infamous carousel resides in the local mall. I think Cole loves it more and more every time she rides. She told Nana that she wanted to ride the purple horse. I caught a bit of video of her laughing and squealing, but what the video missed was Cole saying, "Nana, this is greaaaaat!" She repeated it quite a few times. She is one animated kid!!!

Rollin'

So this is how Cole "rolls". With "princess book" in hand, typically all we SEE are her little feet bobbing under the big pink book; however we do often HEAR her requests for which Veggie Tales song she would like to hear.

Girlfriends

Cole and Anna had so much fun together and played like big girls. They were taking turns in the stroller and on the bike and sharing everything they found--i.e. candy. They had a ball together, but they did miss their girlfriend Mabry who is usually their on Easter.

Easter Egg Hunt

Cole and Anna also had an Easter egg hunt. It took place in Anna's basement because it was 30ish degrees and snowing outside. The girls had a ton of fun with this one, but were WAY too busy stuffing their faces with candy to even look up at the camera afterwards.

Easter Morning

We had a great Easter morning. This is a picture of Cole with our senior pastor and his wife, otherwise known as "Uncle Wayne" and "Auntie Yesie"(leslie). Cole loves these people! The other picture is of Cole with Daddy at church eating what else but M&M's--her new found love. (When I got Cole up Easter morning, I told her that the Easter Bunny brought her something and she said, "Easter bunny bring me M&M's?!" She definately got her fair share of M&M's!

Easter Basket

After church, we went to our friends', Kim and Nate's house (Anna's parents) and had an awesome lunch, opened Easter baskets, and had an Easter Egg Hunt. It was quite a fun afternoon and the girls were so good--no nap and all! These are some pictures of Cole opening her Easter basket from Mommy and Daddy. She particularly loved her new Bible, chocolate bunny, and jelly beans!!!

Happy Easter...

...from the Talty's! (many, many, many more pics to come!)

Jazzy Girl

We had a Jazz band at the church the other day for a luncheon and Cole enjoyed it. She put on a little show of her own for everyone. We've decided that dance lessons are definately in her near future!

Palm Sunday

Cole got to wave a palm branch at church on Sunday with the rest of the kids. Her and Daddy were moving fast, so the only picture I was able to catch, Cole was blinking, but atleast you can see her pretty dress. She looked like such a big girl.

St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patty's Day!!! Look at that Irish duo--aren't they sweet. I don't know if you've noticed, but Cole has been quite the Daddy's girl lately and I think it's absolutely adorable! We had lunch at an Irish Pub downtown celebrating the day with Fish and Chips and some relaxing time at home.

Puppies & Kitties

Cole loves to go to the mall to "see the puppies and kitties." The store is called Love at First Sight and it is an adoption place for puppies and kittens. Cole thinks this is THE reason we come to the mall. She loves looking in the cages and trying to give the toys to the puppies. We'll see just how long we can hold her off...we think we have our hands plenty full right now the way we are.

Cinderella Fan

Here are some pictures of Cole, once again, watching her Cinderella movie. However, this time, she decided she wanted to wear her Cinderella attire that Daddy got her for Valentine's Day. Notice she was dressing Penelope the Pig as well. (I loved the smirck on her face in this first picture!)
