Giving Thanks

Cooper's school had their annual family Thanksgiving Meal tonight for all the families of the kids that go to FBC.  We dined on a delicious meal of turkey, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes w/ gravy and rolls.  We're thankful for Cooper's school, his teachers and all the workers who love on the kids and teach them about Jesus.

 Looking so cute

 Cooper entertaining the crowd!

 After the meal, we treated the kids to Rita's for dessert (we could have eaten dessert at the dinner, but I comp.etely blanked and forgot to take one and felt guilty about eating someone else's).  No pictures from Rita's, but a cute Cooper story instead.

Cooper was singing "Jesus Loves Me" on the way to Rita's.  When he got to the part "...they are weak, but He his strong" Cooper said, "...they are sweet, but He is strong"!!

Sunday Snapshots

We had a couple of visitors for the weekend ~ straight off the boat from Greece!  Gigi and Bubba came to see us (we all know the truth is they really came to see Reagan and Cooper, but they humor us and make us feel like they came to see me & Greg too!) this weekend.  They had just returned home from a cruise to Italy & Greece, but didn't let jet lag stop them! 

Since I was pretty lazy with my camera this weekend ~ and since it had been a while since I had taken "group shots", I tried for a few this morning before church.  Here are the best of the bunch!

 and two photos of our family ~ one with Cooper looking at the camera

The Model

I had been trying to get Cooper to wear a new shirt to church for about 4 weeks.  He finally agreed to wear it today and I asked if I could get a picture of him in it.  This boy was in the mood for a photo shoot.  He kept asking me to take his picture making all types of funny faces.  This boy is a mess!  We have our hands (and our hearts) FULL!

Bikes & Leaves

It was a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon.  So, we took advantage of it by riding bikes and playing in the leaves all afternoon.



...and they're off

 sweet siblings

 going solo

 "you coming?"

 just beautiful

another shot of the two of them

 we raked a PILE of leaves and let them play

 love this boy!

 Reagan's turn to jump

 how sweet are they jumping while holding hands

sadly, it was time to rake the leaves and put them into bags 

 they didn't seem to mind the chore

 Reagan held the bag so Cooper and I could put in the leaves (in case you're wondering, Greg was mowing the yard)

 Cooper couldn't resist, he had to jump in one more time

 after the chore was done, it was back to the bikes

 finally, it was refreshment time
