Monday

Back to work and school today, but it's all play time when we get home!!

She loves playing on her hop ball

Cooper sat the table for a special guestShe's reading the Bible that was given to me on my 3rd birthday

Who's ready to eat?

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

1st stop ~ Emus

The llamas would eat right out of your hand

Cooper trying to feed the llamas

Here llama, llama

The emu was still hungry

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

Getting armed with more feed

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

Cooper's turn to feed the water buffalo

Reagan's favorite, the giraffes

Reagan feeding the giraffe

Cooper helping daddy feed them

they were all very hungry

This is Luther the rhinoceros ~ we weren't allowed to feed him!

She really had a great time

Not sure what this animal is

Watusi cows ~ we couldn't feed them because of their horns

Pot bellied pigs were everywhere

Some kind of Scottish something that would let you drop food onto its tongue

The chick fil a cow!

Not sure if they want to feed these animals or not

How sweet is he?

Dropping food for the pigs to eat

He had 2 fists full of feed at all times

Relaxing with daddy (actually trying to sweet talk him into getting her some ice cream. Surprise, it worked!)

Yeah, what a fun trip!

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!
