Ready for School

We had a mini-photo session before leaving for school this morning

Cooper ~ happy as always!

Too much fun!

Another Day to Play

We thought we'd better get some outdoor time in before the weather turned cooler on us again this weekend.

Cooper's always the 1st one out the door!

Reagan cleaning up the mess Cooper made with the sand
Playing together

How much sand can he eat with just his hands?

Not as much as he can eat using a shovel!

Where's my horn?

Reagan rode around the neighborhood on her tricycle all by herself (almost 1 mile!)

Cooper enjoyed being pushed in his car

When we got back, Cooper was ready to go again in the wagon

Please, just one more time!

Happy Birthday Megan

My niece Megan turns 19 years old today. So hard to believe ~ I was a junior in high school when she was born!! In honor of her, here are a few pictures of Reagan and Cooper.

Mom: Who wants to say happy birthday to Megan?

Kids: Huh?

Mom: Who wants to wish Megan a happy birthday?

Reagan: I do!Mom: Who else wants to wish Megan a happy birthday?
Cooper: I do, I do!

Hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Sunday Fun

Reagan and I do our baking/cooking on Sunday afternoons and today was no different. Except the baking turned out horribly and we had to throw much of it away...

Such a good helper

Making sure it's mixed to perfection

Quality control is her favorite job

Making sure the toothpick comes out clean

The cake was supposed to have turned out like this (but it didn't. It tasted good, it just wouldn't stay together for the icing). We did have enough batter to make some extra cupcakes, so all was not lost!
After dinner, we all needed some fresh air after 3 days of rain

Cooper decided he would rather ride in the wagon than walk!

Every few steps, Reagan would stop and mark her spot with sidewalk chalk

He doesn't understand why a 10 minute walk has turned into a 30 minute walk ~ welcome to life with Reagan!!

To speed things up, Reagan got in the wagon too and she and Cooper had fun playing ball while being pulled around the neighborhood

I think it's about time for Cooper to get a haircut

Throwing the ball to Cooper

She caught it!!

Another Saturday Date

It was time once again for the weekly daddy/daughter date day ~ and of course Reagan was excited to go eat pancakes!

All ready to go

Cooper on the other hand, stayed home and did his chores! He makes the messes then helps clean them up

I think Cooper's getting the raw end of the deal on Saturday mornings, but he doesn't seem to be too upset!

One Last Warm Day

Today the temperature reached 84 degrees, but tomorrow, the high is expected to be around 50 and probably raining for the rest of the week and the weekend! We had to take advantage of this beautiful weather. So after dinner, we went on a walk (or ride) around the neighborhood.

So happy to be in the car and on her bike

After we finished with the bike ride, Reagan wanted to take baby Julie and baby Judy on a walk
Cooper just wanted to run free!

Cooper facing off with the dog. He stood here for about 10minutes babbling and pointing to the dog

Playing basketball with Savannah

Cooper played some hoops too! Look at the smile on his face!

Can I make that shot from way down here?

Running toward the goal

What's wrong with these next two pictures?

Cooper playing with the babies...

Miscellaneous Monday

Today was the 1st day Cooper wore shorts to school ~ isn't he cute?

when I started taking pictures, he sat down and started posing for me
Finally, a picture of both of them together!

Another sweet photo!

My sweet friend Robyn gave this T-shirt to me as a shower gift almost 4 years ago!

Along with shorts came Cooper's 1st scrape of the season ~ stay tuned, I'm sure they'll be many more!

Confirmed!

This summer-like weather has gotten us in the mood for a beach vacation. Luckily, we've already booked our vacation for Hilton Head in June. Can't wait!!!
