Super Saturday

Our Saturday was extremely busy this week. We started off the day at the IHOP for our weekly family date (if you remember, these started out as daddy/daughter dates, but Reagan decided she likes the whole family to go out with her) and then we ran some errands. Next, Reagan and I went to a party at my friend Crystal's house and then on to grocery shopping. Later, we went to the Science Center and saw the Spider Monkey exhibition. And last, but not least, we went to our friends' Duane and Jessica's house for a TN vs. FL football party. Here are a "few" pictures of our day.

A family photo before leaving
Here is Reagan and Alex (Crystal's baby) She loved rubbing his head just as much as she loves doing this to Cooper I prayed and prayed for this baby before he came into the world. Reagan said she would like to take him home so Cooper could be a big brother.

Friday Fun

Nothing exciting to report on Friday, but here are a few pictures of Reagan and Cooper.

Every morning, I ask "Who's ready to go to school?" Cooper is yelling, "I AM!"
Neither of them is happy to be having their picture made with the other! She's in to profile shots lately
After school, they had a great time jumping on the bed together ~ they would just giggle and giggle!
It was so much fun!

Daddy was the hero of the night ~ when he came home, he brought them a Frosty from Wendy's
Good to the last bite

Sunday ~ the Last Day with Our Visitors

We got up Sunday morning and had a breakfast of biscuits and (spicy) gravy, then we went to church (and the girls got to go to Mr. Ray's class), and home for lunch before our visitors left.

A new family photo
this is a great picture of us (if I do say so myself!), but something happened with the flashwhy is it so hard to get 2 kids to smile in the same picture?
See what I mean?
Papaw, Cooper, Mamaw & Reagan
I love this girl!
I guess Cooper thought he was going home with mamaw and papaw ~ he's blowing us kisses bye!
Cooper wanted to drive to Tennessee
A tearful goodbye

We had a great time this weekend and can't wait for you all to come back!
