Party Time

This afternoon Cooper, Reagan and I went to a birthday party for one of Cooper's classmates. It was a super hero/princess themed party and the kids were asked to dress in character. It was a warm (warmer than it has been), albeit a windy day and Reagan & Cooper enjoyed having time outside and friends to play with.

Cooper loved the swings too

swinging in tandem

Cooper thought swinging with Reagan was the greatest

He kept saying he was flying

Such a sweet face

Time for hot dogs and cake ~ on the same plate...what a combination!

Cooper found a ball pit to play in

Making a quick call to tell everyone how much fun he's having!

Girls' Night

Tonight, I was able to have dinner with some wonderful friends from Emmaeus ~Sharon, Liz and Melissa. Sharon was part of the "team", Liz was at my table, and Melissa was my "new found friend" on the very first night. We had a great time just catching up! Can't wait to do this again ~ soon!

Rafael, our cook
Big finish!

Hoop Time

Tonight, Reagan and Cooper attended their first basketball game. Our friend Anah is a cheerleader for her middle school and their team was playing close to our house, so we decided it would be a fun, spur of the moment trip!

Sunday Snapshots

Just a few photos from our Sunday.

Reagan looked so grown up going to church this morning. This is the best picture I could get of her~she was not in the mood to have her picture taken!

Cooper wanted to get his picture made with Greg...this is the best (and only) shot I was able to get!
The kids spent most of the afternoon like this...

Sometimes, you just need a little peace and quiet!

So Fun

Bath time is always fun with these two!

Cooper is so full of life!

Reagan was listening intently to a story Greg was telling her
Laughs for everyone

A Day at the Gym

Today was another gymnastics class for both Reagan and Cooper. Reagan was a pro as usual and Cooper did a great job of listening and following directions this week!

I was impressed with how flexible he is!
