This is officially my first blogging adventure.

The days surrounding June 14th and June 18th have always been traditionally very busy days for the Coles, with Kirsten and Courteney's birthdays, Tueller Dance Review, Tuellerette Concert, Fathers Day, getting ready for the 4th of July( we always try, but, usually end up cleaning the night before) and many other summer related activities.
This year seems to be a little more quiet than normal with Courteney in Kentucky and no dance reviews to attend, we may have to be a little bit creative until we get used to celebrating birthdays somewhere other than small town Lewiston.
So, raise your cupcakes high. Happy Birthday Kirsten and Courteney you are both very special!!

Just Starting...

So we started this today because I thought it would be a good way to show our friends and family the things we are doing. So where to begin?

A little about the two of us...
Todd and I are high school sweethearts. I really hate that phrase, but what are you going to do. It is what it is.

We were married January 1985.
We have three beautiful daughters - Kirsten, Courteney and Spenser.
All three are fabulous and doing very well.

We are basically empty nesters now, I love it, it is the greatest thing next to having kids. We have the benefit of kids but they don't stay around all the time and the best thing ever is that I don't have to pay for everything anymore. (just some things)


This is us on our way to Memphis, I will write more about this later.

Kirsten is finishing her Masters in Accounting and will be starting her new job in the fall. She and her husband Tanner will soon be moving away and I can wait for that to happen. We will miss them so much.


Courteney will be starting her third year of college and doing well. She moved to Kentucky for the summer with her friend Ty. She seems to be having a good time and enjoying being away for awhile.


Spenser, well she passed away a little over five years ago, she is still a part of our lives and we think of her everyday.

She is our little angel.
