New Toys

After a morning of running errands (and breakfast at the Waffle House), the kids couldn't wait to get home and play with their new toys!

more Lego building for Reagan

 Cooper bought a new remote control car with some of his gift card money

 Greg liked it too!

 I don't think Greg wanted to turn the controls back over to Cooper!

 Reagan tried out her Spirograph skills!

my little artist loves the Spirograph!

Small Group Thanksgiving Lunch

We had our Bible study small group over for Thanksgiving lunch this afternoon.  

the house needed to be cleaned before everyone arrived, thankfully I had a helper!

 I didn't take any pictures of the whole group today, and only took a few of the kids.  We had 10 adults and 4 kids over today

 Annabelle & Reagan

 Maggie & Cooper

 After lunch, the girls went outside to play...not really sure where Cooper was! 

We had such an enjoyable afternoon of talking, laughing and eating!

Crazy Cooper

Even though this was the coolest day of the year so far, Cooper wanted to play outside for a little while.  This boy has energy to burn!

 precious boy

 Love this boy with all my heart!

 Tonight, we had left-overs for dinner and all ate at random times.  While preparing my own dinner, looked over and saw this sweet boy praying.

My Buddy

Cooper is my walking buddy in the evenings, although it is hard to get much excercise when your teathered by ear buds!

 

Fun in the Sun

I picked the kids up a little early from camp today so we could come home and play outside!  Reagan has been in to riding her bike lately, and Cooper loves to chase bubbles!  We also had fun playing hide-n-go seek.

 

 She is so beautiful!

 love these two!

Wheels

Reagan is loving her re-discovery of bike riding!  If she keeps it up, it may be time for a bigger bike in the near future!  Cooper practiced riding without training wheels, but no pictures of that as I had my hands full trying to teach him how to balance.  He's "this close" to riding all by himself!

 she ran out of steam going up the hill!

 after bike practice, Cooper wanted to ride his scooter - something he can do by himself!

Happy Memorial Day

We spent Memorial Day cleaning out closets and the toy room!  We did have a few hours to spend outside playing too!

Reagan remembers how to ride her bike!  It's been a while

 Cooper drew all over the driveway!

 He got warm and had to take off his shirt...and show off his muscles!

 exploring

 Reagan found and trapped a Velvet Ant

it's actually a "wingless wasp"

 she's reading all about it on the internet

 We played bubble ninja too!
