Bicycle Practice

We spent more time this evening riding bicycles.  Tonight, Reagan learned how to turn around and get started from a standing position...she's still working on learning how to stop!!



 Cooper tested out his photography skills
 he wanted us to take pictures of each other
 he liked to take pictures of Reagan too
 enough pictures, let's ride
 the race is on!
 Cooper says putting the strap over his chin makes him go "super fast"


Cooper the Trooper

I took Cooper to the doctor this afternoon because he just hasn't been himself lately.  He still runs, jumps and plays, but he has been complaining of his tummy hurting for about 3 weeks and doesn't eat more than a couple of bites of anything.  He even refuses snacks saying, "I don't want it, it make my tummy hurt". 

At the doctor's office, they couldn't find anything wrong upon physical examination, but wanted to draw blood and get a urine sample.  Cooper was so brave ~ I thought it was just going to be a finger stick, BUT he had to have a regular blood draw.  I can't tell you how proud I was of him ~ he didn't even flinch or whimper (although I thought his heart was going to beat out of his chest!).  All Cooper said was "that hurts me a little bit mommy".  Such a brave boy!

After the visit, he got to ride on the dinosaur
 he wanted to know if this dinosaur could come home with us!
 look at his smile!
 showing off his band-aid (the sad face is because his balloon just flew away)

Monday Madness

We had a fun but active Monday afternoon.

Reagan got to practice riding her new big girl bike
 she picked it up pretty quickly
watch her ride
 Cooper chose to watch from the sidelines
 My handsome boy
 Cooper has a great imagination ~ he was "calling" Greg and telling him to "get home quick, Reagan's riding her bicycle!"
 taking a break from all the action
 another bug sighting ~ this time it was a grasshopper

Sunday Swim

After church, our life group got together for a swim party to celebrate going back to school, the end of the summer, and kicking off our life group study once again.
