Cooper turns 7

 

 Cooper turned 7 in October.  7!!!

We gave Cooper a small fish bowl, a net, and some fish food.

He looked at us, and said, "Does a fish go in this??"

We told him that it was just pretend.

Sweet Cooper smiled and said, "okay!"

When we gave him the REAL fish,

he was SOOOOO excited. 

 

We invited the first grade boys over for a baseball party.   Of course, it rained.  So party had to move inside.   : ( I took a ton of pictures, only to find out I didn't have a card in my camera. Finally caught on and got a few of the end of the party.

Had fun making this for Cooper.  He helped plan it out with drawing and plenty of ideas.

 

 

 

The kids did a little scavenger hunt.   They LOVED it.

 

 

 

We celebrated with burgers, dogs, cake and ice cream, ...

in the garage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Coop!

September

September ... Jason took Colin and the boys fishing. 

 

 

Maggie had her first day of preschool.

 She loved it and she continues to love going to school!

Two days a week from 8-12. 

 

I have no clue when I took this or where we were coming from, but I love looking in the mirror to see them all asleep : )

 

 

Sweet sisters.   They love getting into Maggie's bed together.

Jackson is constantly reading.   and re-reading the ones he really loves. I can't keep up with him.

Cooper had this for a homework assignment.   I was just so tickled about him peeking out from the side of the paper.   He told me that it wasn't fair he had to draw so many people : )

 

On the way to a Ranger's game.

 

 

 

Having donuts with Maggie while we waited for an oil change. 

 

Movie afternoon

Maggie loves to go to Market Street with me.  She actually loves to just go anywhere. Begs for it.   The boys beg to stay home.

She always gets a cookie.

Eleanor is a good shopper too.

And a good helper in the kitchen.

Cooper came with me to run errands (against his will) but ended up lucking out with an icecream sundae.   He couldn't believe I let him order "one of those things on the sign"

 

Oh this little love bug.
