Some Lucky Boys

Well I am not the blog master in our family, that would be Allison. Since she is out for the night with some friends I decided to take matters into my own hands. Cohen, Aggie and I are some really lucky guys, we have the most amazing person to take care of us. Allison is an awesome mom and does an extraordinary job raising Cohen. He really does love his mom a lot. I am so thankful to have Allison as my wife, she really is perfect. We've been married over five years but with her it just keeps getting better, and becomes more fun everyday, she really is such a cool wife, and just fun to be with. I like that she is just so gorgeous too, yea amazingly beautiful. Allison your the best. We LOVE you!! Ok Im done with the mushy stuff. Im sure my blogging privileges will soon be revoked.

Lighting McQueen

Cohen is pretty close to walking he is more controlled and a little less like a drunkard. He can walk across the living room and from one thing to the next. It is still a common occurrence for him to get going too fast, biff and hit the table, wall, or floor. He loves pushing his lighting mcqueen.

We still made out with a bucket of candy. Cohen had a good time playing in it and gumming the candy in wrappers. He did have his very first sucker! He loved it and cried when he tried to take it.

All Tuckered Out

Once he fell asleep I fixed his costume to get a few last snapshots:)

Out off all that was going on Cohen was most interested in a football he found in the middle of the gym floor

This is Cohen and is other little lion friend Luke

First Halloween

Cohen didn't think too much of his costume. He only left the mane on long enough for a few pictures. The feet were my favorite it was funny to see him try to walk in it:) It took some persistence to get the small amount of paint on his face. It didn't help he was tired. We went to the church for the trunk or treat. Our ward didn't have one so we went to other ward's which was a little awkward because we only knew a few people. But what do you do in a city with no neighborhoods and Erik got home too late to go to the mall for trunk or treat. They had games and contests for the first hour and Cohen didn't even make it to the trunk or treat before falling asleep. He looked pretty stinkin cute though.

Cohen the little sucker fish. He sucks on his bottle so hard that he doesn't even have to hold it. I have tried sippy cups, but what is better that being able to sit up right, crawl, or walk around while drinking your bottle. Weaning this kid from the bottle is going to be tough.

Fall in Tennessee

Fall in Tennessee for the most part is perfect. High 60's-70's. The colors are beautiful and Cohen and Aggie love playing in the leaves. Most Sundays we take Cohen and Aggie to the park or up to the medical school or to a walking trail. We took these pics a couple of weeks ago at the medical school with Erik's phone.

Update of massive proportions. So I am a procrastinator and have neglected by blogging duties. I hope y' all don't get bored reading this lengthy update.

Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Kiser

Last week my parents flew out to visit us. We had a lot of fun site seeing, eating out, and of course playing with Cohen and Aggie. Aggie had a constant playmate and Cohen had someone to walk him wherever he wanted to go. Not to mention a few new toys:)

When my parents were visiting we did a day trip to Gatlinburg, TN and the Smokey Mountains. We shopped at all the little shops, ate, and took a little hike to Laurel Falls in the national park. They had the whole town decorated so cute for fall.

Biltmore

Biltmore is in Asheville, NC. It is the largest house in America. It was built by George Vanderbilt in 1895. It is amazing! When my parents were visiting we took a tour of the house and gardens. It really takes a whole day to see the place. It its on thousands of acres has a vineyard, farm, hotel, etc. Anyone who is in the Asheville area should take the time and expense to see it.

Park

My parents and I took Cohen and Aggie to a park near our house. It was Cohen's first time in a swing by himself.

Asheville

So I am finally starting to make friends here. I know after two years. It is hard though because students Erik's age aren't married and the ward is so small. Hardly any young couples. These are the only girls in my ward that are my age. I love them both! We went to Ashville, NC a couple of weeks ago to eat and hang out. Both Cohen and I had a lot of fun.

Water

This little boy LOVES the water. When it is freezing cold he wants to go out and splash in the water. He doesn't care if it is a down pour. Most of the time I give in, put his coat on, and take him out. He also wants me to hold him over the sink and let him splash and of course like all little kids he loves the bath.
