Cold winter fun...What a month!

What a month! Unfortunately, I have been so busy with school and class (Chris and I are taking a Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class for 12 weeks), there just hasn't been much time for taking photos and blogging. There have been a few exceptions in which the Coleman "cam" came into some use and I thought I would compile them into one big blog.

Earlier this month, we were invited to Sarah's friend, Nico's 2nd birthday party. It was lots of fun hanging out with friends and watching Nico open presents.

Nico's mom Karen, bringing the birthday boy his cupcake.

The kids were anxiously awaiting their cupcakes as well. Here you see Avery, her baby brother West, Sarah, and her "best buddy" Caden.



Cohen was a little too impatient to be given a cupcake, so he took matters into his own hands. He is truly a man of action.



Nico got lots of cool presents! Most were related to planes, trains, and automobiles! A true boy's birthday dream.

Andrew, Anna, Phoebe, and Amelia also joined Nico in the celebration.
It was a fun day of hanging out with friends and getting out of the cold. And boy was this month cold!

Here is one of our minor snow events. Sarah loves playing in the snow so much! I must admit, I think it is fun as well. Having a child gives you an excuse to do lots of things I secretly miss from my own childhood.

She was mesmerized by the snow stacked on the car. We spent lots of time examining flakes and knocking them off the roof of the car.


I love to watch Sarah think. That tongue always creeps out.





Here is one of my few family photos of the month. She loves her Daddy so much, and as you can tell, the feeling is mutual.


Sarah is giving the camera one of her famous looks. She is becoming quite the comedian at age three. Just the other day she came up with one. Sarah goes to daycare at Mrs. Joan's house but all of the older kids call her "Joanie". She looks at me the other day as we are watching the nightly news and says, "Mommy, Peyton and Zoe call Mrs. Joan "Joanie" but I call her "Joan McCain". She is such a hoot!

Now for a mini-photo shoot. We have had "Wildcat Fever" since Jodie Meeks caught fire and began scoring an average of 30 points per game (with a high of 54 one night). Sarah is excited as well. Here is a cheer leading photo shoot for Mamaw and Papaw.

Go cats!





The serious, pensive pose.

Not really sure what this move was supposed to be, but it was cute.


Finally, a real photo! No goofing around.



With a cheerleader this cute, the Cats have to win!






Finally tired, Sarah decides to take a rest in Papaw's arms.





These two are so close, he is very high on her list of "Buddies". We are just glad they are able to come up and visit pretty often.

Stay tuned, the "Great Ice Storm" of 2009 photos are up next.
