Sunday School Fun

For the past 2 weeks, the school where our church meets has been having the floor stripped, so we have had to meet at a "loaner church building" elsewhere in the city. It has been really nice not to have to set up or tear down and just have church like normal people!

Cooper talking with Mr. Dan

Most people clean when they leave, Cooper starts the day with vacuuming! Do you see me Mr. Dan?

Reagan's class didn't meet because of space, so she helped me in the Boxcar Babies class this week

Singing "Happy, Happy Home"

More singing

Cooper and Andrew fussing over snacks

Reagan helped me feed baby Maddy

Cooper wanted to help too!

Reagan told me she wanted a brand new baby like Maddy at her house and she would help me feed her. I don't think so, but thanks anyway!

Saturday Fun

We had a wonderful and relaxing Saturday! We started the morning at the IHOP, then on to the "golf course", and then to the park. We capped off our evening with milkshakes from the Cook Out!

Cooper wasn't very interested in having his picture made at the IHOP so early in the morning.

Action shot of Reagan and daddy eating ~ to be honest, they weren't thrilled about getting their pictures made either!So excited to be on the links again (or Dick's Sporting Goods, but they don't know the difference yet!)

She got a hole in one ~ she kept saying, "I'm the winner, I'm the winner!"

Contemplating his next shot

He made it!

We then made our way to the park. We hadn't been there in several months ~ and Reagan and Cooper were glad to be back!

Whee!

So much fun!

Crawling through the tunnel

Getting ready to slide

Cooper wanted to try out the big slide

Time to swing

Such a big boy

Hard to believe she's 4 years old!

"Higher, higher"

"Whee!"

Reagan likes to be the leader

Cooper still wanted to swing

No trip to the park would be complete without snacks!

Cooper needed some juice too!

Taking a break

Cheese!

When we got home, Cooper pretended to be asleep as long as I would rub his back (Greg took this picture to prove I really do exist!)

"Who wants to go get a milkshake?"

"I do"

"I do too"

The milkshake is really good!

Delicious!

I'm not sure which of these two likes ice cream the most

My cute little family!

It's Early, I Know...

...but it's never too soon to plan a party! Especially when it is Cooper's 2nd birthday party!!

When: Saturday, November 28th

Where: Cooper's house

More details to follow!!

Bubba's Back

Bubba came back for an overnight stay before heading to other parts of the state tomorrow for work. Reagan and Cooper were very excited to see him!

Watching out the window as he walks up the driveway

Cooper ran and jumped in his arms and was ready to go outside and play (if only it wasn't 7pm and raining!) Reagan had some homework to do for school. Her assignment was to draw a crocodile beside water. She did a fantastic job!

For completing her homework without a fuss, she got to paint her toenails purple!

A Little Backwards

Tuesday Morning Photo Shoot

As we do most days, today Reagan and Cooper got their pictures made before school. Reagan agreed to do it even though she said she "didn't have on a beautiful dress that spins". Cooper just wants to be included in anything Reagan does.

Reagan and mommy

Cooper wanted to join usMommy and Cooper

"What is she yelling at?"

Let's both scream!!

These 2 have me wrapped around their little fingers

After breakfast this morning, Reagan and I had a conversation. This is how it went:

Reagan: "Mommy, feel my belly"

Mommy: feeling her belly "Wow"

Reagan: "My belly is fat"

Mommy: "It's not fat, it's just full!

Reagan: "Well, your belly is fat"

Mommy: "Excuse me?"

Reagan: "When I get big, I want to have a big belly like yours"

Mommy: "I worked hard for my big belly!"

Reagan: "Your belly is good and big!"

Mommy: "I think it's time for you to go and play"...
