October Wrap-Up

So, it is near the end of October, and I haven't posted on any of our fun events from the month. I've been busy planning Cooper's birthday party. His actual birthday is this Thursday, and we're so excited to celebrate him turning ONE!
Here are a few highlights from the last few weeks -

A trip to the duck pond

And a trip to Heritage Farmstead Museum in Plano. Jackson got to collect apples, grind corn, and milk a "cow"

and churn butter ...

Jackson enjoying reading as always -

The boys hanging out on the couch bright and early in the morning... each with a sippy cup of milk and a bowl of cheerios (that keeps them happy until I wake up enough to make breakfast).
I realize it isn't a very cute picture - but it makes me smile. Every morning in our house begins just like this.
We went to a place called "JumpNLand" not too long ago where they have several huge inflatable slides/bounce houses. Colin was off that morning so I left Cooper at home with him. It was nice to have some one-on-one with Jackson. He had the best time. He is all the way on the left in this picture - holding hands with his friends Emma and Nick. I was impressed that he climbed all the way to the top ... he tends to be a little bit cautious. But, he loved every minute and keeps asking to go back.

And here is Cooper looking guilty. Yep, he found the crayons.
And finally, here are the boys saying "cheers" to David. Thanks for the shout-out, David. We miss you!
