Lazy 5 Ranch

Today we decided to be adventurous and go to a ranch (www.lazy5ranch.com) about an hour away. You can ride in a wagon and feed the animals as they come up to you. Reagan and Cooper (and mom & dad) had a great time. After riding on the wagon, we walked through the petting zoo part, played on the playground, had a picnic lunch and then some ice cream to top it off!!

Cooper was ready to feed the animals as soon as we got there

These water buffalo were more interested in staying cool than being fed

This water buffalo would open its mouth so you could drop the feed right in

Short & Sweet

Cooper has been needing a haircut for a few weeks now, but it is always such a traumatic experience for all of us that we've just kept putting it off. After school today, I decided he could wait no more! To save us time and energy, I chose a #4 guard and had her clip his whole head. Greg had been wanting to cut his hair this way for a long time, but I'm the one who protested. Pretty cute, but he's not a baby anymore!

Good head shot
Still the same Cooper smile
Still cute no matter what you do to him!

That was the short, now here's the sweet...
Award winning smile!

Random Pictures

Beautiful girl, beautiful smile
Cooper still has a passion for all things cleaning

New Toys

We've began rotating toys in and out for the summer and they love playing with all things "new".

Reagan got this hop ball from mamaw & papaw for her birthday, but played with it for the 1st time a few nights ago.
Cooper is in his caring phase ~ he loves to rock, feed, and push the baby dolls in a stroller

So Sweet

Last night before bed, Reagan said she wanted to rock Cooper. She sang 3 songs to him ~ Rockabye Baby, Twinkle Twinkle and Jingle Bells. Not really sure how Jingle Bells fits, but it was so sweet. She is such a good big sister!

Sweet Treat

Ms Deb came over last night and brought a sweet surprise for Reagan and Cooper ~ ice cream sandwiches!! They loved her before, but I think she went up a couple of steps in their book with ice cream!
Cooper dug right in
He didn't let any of his ice cream sandwich go to waste! Enjoying her time with Ms Deb (who didn't want to have her picture taken)
Mmm, mmm
Tasty!
