Coen's new hair-cut

This past weekend we took Coen to get another hair-cut. Since his last hair cut in September his hair had grown out so much. This time we went with shaved look all over. He's so cute with his new look. He definitely doesn't look like a baby anymore. He now looks all grown up. Here are a couple of pictures I got of him the other night after dinner.

He's so silly!

By the way....notice the scarecrow lying face down on the floor, Coen likes to man handle Mr. Scarecrow by throwing him around. I guess this is because Coen & the scarecrow are the same height. He's a mess!

Ladybug cake

Some friends of ours are celebrating there little girl's 1st birthday this weekend and they asked me to make a cake for there daughter, Lily. So far this has been the biggest cake I have made. I also made Lily her own little cake so she could dig into it and have fun with it.

Halloween

This year for Halloween Coen was a vampire. He wasn't to spooky looking with spiked blonde hair, blue eyes and dimples but he sure made for a cute vampire. Here are some pictures of him dressed up and from his Halloween parade & party at school

Old Salem

This past Sunday one of my neighbors who does graphic design and photography on the side, took some fall pictures of Coen at Old Salem. Coen normally hates getting his picture taken but this time I had brought a distraction for him to play with, a football. The football entertained him and made for great pictures. Lindsay, the photographer, did a great job & took over 300 photos. Here are some of my favorite ones.

The Pumpkin Patch

he found one just his size

Blowing Rock & Tweetsie Railroad

Over the weekend we took a family trip to the mountains & stayed in Blowing Rock. The weather was beautiful and everybody had a great time together. I really enjoyed the cool crisp mountain air. Saturday we did some shopping & Sunday we went to Tweetsie Railroad. Coen had a great time at Tweetsie & he enjoyed the train ride. He never once got scared of the loud locomotive sound or the cowboy's & Indians. One of the cowboy's greeted us on the train but Coen wouldn't shake his hand. Jonathan & I are already thinking about going back by our self for a relaxing weekend & doing some Christmas shopping.
