I know, I'm slacking. Forgive me bloggers, for I have sinned...it's been a month since my last posting. That's because the Coles house just will not stop this month! I know lots of exciting things have happened...Oliver went to Nana and Pa-Pa's for almost a whole week; my law school friends came to visit (it had been 7 years since we all have seen each other); and I went with Oliver's class to the Topeka Zoo (Grammy & Grandpa got to go too). But nothing was more exciting than Oliver's birthday party this past weekend. We went to Lawrence Gymnastics Academy for the 2nd year in a row, and Oliver and 17 of his closest friends went wild and had a blast! How do I know they had a blast? Well, have a looksie at the photos I *attempted* to take of Oliver during the party...
He is the human blur.
He finally sat still for the (almost) group shot.
And then at dinner with our nearest and dearest after the party, here is his face when I asked if his party was fun.
(Still kinda blurry. Hmm, maybe it's user error after all). :)
His real birthday is Wednesday, June 11th, so more pics to come!
We have had lots of excitement in the past month. Oliver attended his first Sporting KC soccer game. He loved it and actually watched way more of the game than Matt and I thought he would. Man, that stadium is just awesome! The next day was Easter and Oliver was very pleased with what the Easter Bunny left for him.

Easter morning happy face
And then there is the lovely Easter afternoon sad face. No idea what's going on here.
We traveled together as a family to Indiana (Mangas side) two weekends ago and Oliver got to spend some time with Grandma Mangas, Grammy & Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles, and lots and lots of BIG cousins! I would name them all but I don't want to forget anyone! That side of Matt's family has the tallest genes (especially for having such a short great grandma). :)
I had to leave the Union City, IN/OH clan to attend a work conference in Indianapolis so I missed the rest of the visit, but I know Oliver is already asking when we are going back so I take it he had a good time!
Great Grandma Mangas

Happy to catch it but don't ask him to touch it!
We will be having lots of visitors coming to see us in the month of May: OSU friend Heidi; Nana, Papa & Aunt Jennifer; and my law school roommates - I can't believe it's been 10 years since we graduated from OU Law! And then Oliver's birthday party is only a month away. Crap! I should probably start planning that, eh?!
'Til next time, my loyal bloggees!
