Last Saturday we met up with The Mickens and went to the Natural Science Museum! Anyone here locally should defiantly check it out - it was so much fun! We were there 3 hours and didn't even get to see much of the inside. We were too busy seeing all of the animals outside! We are excited to go back and spend some time inside checking out what they have to offer. So much fun and so much to do!

Camden had a lot of fun this year carving his pumpkin. He helped clean it out and cut it! He really liked taking the "guts" out and was sure to shout, "Oooohh, YUCK! It's gooey and slimey!" Camden's pumpkin was a dump truck and Bexley's was a ballerina. We did something a little different this year and had a small get-together at our house, took Camden trick-or-treating, then went to our neighborhood party after that. Camden loved every second of Halloween. He didn't quite get the hang of saying "trick-or-treat" at the door, but instead rang the doorbell and then said, "thank you!" Bexley slept through the whole thing. We had a great halloween and are already thinking of next years costume!

Well...we finally got to go to the mountains last Sunday. The weather was absoulutely beautiful, however the trees were not. It was a no-win situation - go the weekend before and have 40 degrees and fog/rain but pretty trees or last weekend 70 and sunny and the leaves falling off the trees. Oh well, it was still fun! The ride up there had some pretty trees to look at. We had a picnic lunch once we got there, took Camden to the city park in Blowing Rock, NC and took a small hike at the Moses Cone Manor House - oh...and of course I found some time for shopping. Always have to go shopping! Love the mountains - even Bexley liked looking around and hiking too! Camden loves everything about being there because everything to do is outdoors! The next time we'll be back will be after Thanksgiving to chop down our Christmas tree! YAY!

We would love to announce the arrival of Miss Bexley Brianna Cole! She was born on 9.9.09 at 10:57am, weighing 7lbs, 2oz and was 19 1/2" long! She is doing great! We are all so happy and pink saying things constantly like, "She's just so cute!" and "We love her so much!" She's a really good baby - sleeping all the time, eating good and hardly crying (unless she wants more milk or to be changed). Camden is warming up to her! He still is adjusting - everyday he does something new with her or making comments. It will be no time at all that he'll be her 24 hour security guard! He did think it was pretty cool to go to the hospital to see her, even if it was to quickly say "hi" to her then pretend the bed was a forklift by making it go up and down or pretending to be a doctor. We are really blessed to have our newest addition home with us and doing well. We want to thank everyone who called to wish us well prior to having Bexley and all the wishes after she was born! We have the best friends and family! We can't wait to share more pictures and stories throughout the year!

We took our last trip to the beach this summer last weekend! Of all the times we had been to the beach, we have never stayed in Myrtle Beach! We had a great time! It was so much fun! It was our last trip with just one child and also our 1st trip with Camden sleeping in a big boy bed. Camden loves being so grown up! What an adventure! But...it was the smallest packed trip we had ever taken! We did a lot of relaxing on the beach, playing at the water park and eating a lot of great food! Oh, and of course found some time for shopping! We really enjoyed our last trip out for the summer and are already planning our 1st fall trip with our newest family member!

Scott celebrated his 34th birthday last Saturday. Biggs and Sarah came in to celebrate while on their way down to New Orleans for vacation! We took Scott to Chapel Hill to Carolina Brewery for dinner. Then on Sunday we celebrated at Longhorn with family. Happy Birthday Scott and welcome to your mid-30's! (He loves it!)

We spent the last week at Ocean Isle Beach! The first part of the week Sharon, Phillip, Kimberly and Nathan were there for our 1st annual Cole Family Beach Trip! We had a lot of fun at the beach and playing mini golf. Camden loved having everyone there. He loves the ocean and loved driving his tractor through the sand. The rest of the week we relaxed at the beach, shopped, ate and well...that's pretty much it! We always love going to the NC beaches in the summertime. Scott and I couldn't help, but talk about how things were going to be the next time we came to the beach and had 2 kids with us!

Scott and I celebrated our 1st Wedding Anniversary this Sunday! We didn't want to go anywhere far or for too long so we decided on Roanoke, VA. What a beautiful city! It sits in a valley among the mountains. Known as the "Star City of the South," the city constructed a giant star to sit up on the mountain! We had a lot of fun walking around town shopping and visiting their Farmer's Market. We also stayed at the Hotel Roanoke - so beautiful and full of history! It was a perfect day and a perfect way to celebrate our 1 year anniversary!

Mom, June, Theresa and Sarah all came to North Carolina last week to visit! We had so much fun! We went to Pawley's Island (love it there) and Charleston - that was just for the weekend. Once we got back to NC we drove down to Charlotte and then to the mountains! Make sure to check out our pictures to see everything that we did! It was a great visit - I can't wait for another one!
