At the Park

We went to the park today with our friends Dana and Ashlynn. The kids had a great time and got very dirty!!

Here's Cooper going down the slide. We don't let him wear shoes going down the slide anymore after he broke his leg on the slide!


Cooper getting bread to feed the ducks.

Cooper saying "Cheese"

Cute Ashlynn!

Elmo Slippers

I thought this picture was so funny I had to put it on the blog! Cooper is wearing his Elmo slippers for the first time and he LOVES them. He really really likes Elmo, can you tell??


I told him to kiss Elmo, so he's trying!

Visit from Avery and Jill

Jill, a college friend of mine, came to visit this week with her daughter Avery. We had a great time. The kids played very well together, although Cooper was a little possessive of his toys and mom.

Adorable Avery

Cooper and Avery. We tried very hard to get a good picture of the two of them. It was very difficult!

Kissing! We won't let Avery's dad see this picture.

Myself, Jill, Cooper, and Avery, about to try out the running stroller.

Cute kids in the bath!

Couch Potato

Cooper is a total TV addict! He LOVES Elmo. He'll bring me the remote and say "Melmo" and want me to turn on the TV. It is so funny. Here he is watching "Melmo." Looks comfy, huh?

Craving Chocolate Anyone?

Ryan got a REALLY big bar of chocolate from work. Cooper was in heaven!

Yummy chocolate! He takes after his mother I think. Lily's trying to sneak a lick too.

Cooper's First Watercolor

Cooper painted with watercolors for the first time. We thought it was beautiful :).

Cooper is hard at work.

Cute Cooper

These are some recent pictures of Cooper, hard to believe he's 18 months old!

saying "cheese"

He fell asleep with the book over his face! He was tired I guess!!

Labor Day fun

We went to Kansas to visit family and friends for Labor Day!


All of family at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
