Yesterday our first born turned 3. It is so hard to believe that 3 years ago he came into this world as a tiny baby who depended on us for everything and today he tries to be as independent as he can. Wow! The years have flown by but it is so very hard to remember our life without him. He can make Dax and I so mad and 2 seconds later melt our hearts and make us laugh uncontrollably. He is so strong-willed yet so vulnerable, he is so harsh yet so incredibly sweet, he is so independent yet so dependent. We loved him from the minute we saw him and that love grows more and more each day. We had his actual birthday party early because of our Upward season beginning at church so yesterday when he woke up to us telling him "Happy Birthday" he was rather confused. We did celebrate at my parent's house since it happened to be Aunt Meg's birthday too! Mom cooked and we brought a cookie cake - I just knew Cole would eat this since he loves cookies; wrong...he didn't like it either. (Mom called to tell me that Cole won the Birthday Cake from Dairy Queen this morning - she always calls them in. We are shooting for him eating the ice cream cake since he loves ice cream. If not we are out of luck with the cakes.) 
Then Honey, Monts and Uncle Ty brought his birthday surprise over after naps. Cole was so excited he could hardly stand it. He has his very own tractor - radio and all. Of course, he rode for a minute inside then Dax took it to the garage after Owen went to sleep so Cole could ride a little bit more. Thanks Honey, Monts and Uncle Ty!
Farmer Cole is ready for work

Tell Cole there is some hay for him to cut and bail up here in B;ham. Do you have to have a license to drive that thing?
