Fun on the First

We had a great start to the New Year!  We cleaned the house, did a little yard work, played a few games, went ice skating, and also had a quick/surprise visit from Mamaw, Papaw, Helen & Allen.

Cooper and daddy added an extra shelf to Reagan's bookshelf

 Cooper did take a little time to enjoy the cool weather

 back to work~Cooper was a little nervous

 a fun game of 4-square broke out in the garage.

 I played too, but had to take a few pictures...just because

 Today was the final day of Holiday Sk8 School for Reagan

 I joined Reagan on the ice for public skate

so sweet

 practicing cross overs

 practicing a 1 foot spin

 "come on slow poke!"

 she's getting so brave on the ice!

Lightning Fast

Back on the soccer field this morning.  While Cooper didn't score any goals (he came close), he did have 2 assists and...the Lightning won!!

 the ball bounced off the edge of the goal

 so close

 When we got home, Cooper helped with a few chores around the house.

he noticed an ant hill and wanted to get rid of it

he decided he'd spray all around the house for "protection"!

 it was so much fun, Reagan got in on the action!

 Best Buds!

Saturday Fun

When Reagan and I returned home from her gymnastics class today, we found Daddy and Cooper working in the yard. We then had a family picnic and played outside before doing a little more yard work.

Cooper helping blow leaves to the bottom of the yard

This is hard work!

Reagan wanted a chance to use the blower too.

Time for lunch

Daddy read us a lunch time story

Fun family time

The kids had a great time jumping in the leaves they had blown/raked up

whee!

look at the expressions on their faces ~ the difference in boys and girls

laughing at her silly brother!

the leaves got down Cooper's shirt, so he decided to go shirtless

Reagan was very timid about jumping in the leaves, she didn't want to get dirty!

Cooper even had fun just running in the leaves

Clean up, clean up, everybody do their job

We went to dinner at Reagan's favorite restaurant "Salad Garden"

waiting to be seated

Reagan brought a coloring book with her and she is very particular about her colors!
