A mid-summer update...

Just a few pictures and updates on the past couple weeks...

Mommy found her old Pullin' Green tractor pulling shirt and decided that Cohen needed to have it. Apparently, we almost waited too long because it's almost too small. So we got a bunch of pictures just in case we hit a growth spurt.

Cohen showing us how big he is.

4th of July picture of Cohen. He's excited.

This is Nick's excited face. He had just found out earlier this day that he got his promotion at Lowes!!! Yay! The 8th try is apparently the lucky try. Now he's in management up front, has a little desk, works MUCH better hours and is loving his new job!! Yay for answers to prayer!!

A swim at great grandma Karen's. Grandma great's pool has been such a blessing on these hot humid Indiana summer days!

Cohen really enjoys swimming, especially in some sort of floating apparatus. He's happy as long as he feels secure. Now if only we can get him to STOP DRINKING THE POOL!!

He didn't lose his arms...he's just contemplating jumping in. But aside from the no arm thing, I thought this was a pretty cute picture!

Mommy and Cohen swimming. Nick got a talking to about not taking very many picture of Cohen and I (I take all the pictures, therefore I have NONE of the two of us!) so he has started doing a much better job of catching moments of mommy and Cohen.

Cohen driving Grandpa Great's lawn tractor. It's a West family tradition.

Cohen got some gift money, so we went and got him a new trike. I've got the cutest video of this morning...as soon as I can get it shortened, I'll get it up here for you all!

My sister thought that the other "sick" pictures of Cohen were so cute, so I had to put this one up for her. Cohen had a sick day or two a few days ago. He spent most of the evening in his chair, in front of his little TV, watching Wonder Pets, with his gatorade, his blankie, his paci and his Mickey. He was a pretty sad little guy. But he's tough, he prevailed.

Sorry to end on a sad picture...coming soon...more zoo pics!
