Swimmin'...

We've been spending a LOT of time at Grandma's pool lately. Its WAY too hot to do anything else!!! One of these days, maybe I'll win the lotto, and we'll get our own pool. Cooper has been walking in the shallow end all by himself!! We are sooo proud of him!!

such a cutie....(he sure does have a big head!!!)

Mikey's Birthday Party...

Cooper was invited to a 4th Birthday Party of one of his friends at school. Mikey's party was an indoor jumpy place!! It was Pirate themed, which was REALLY cool!! Cooper was REALLY shy at first, but after about 30 mins or so, was good to go! This was Coopers FAVORITE thing to play one - he called it Spidermans web!

This is my favorite... it looks like someone is stepping on his head. HEHEH

New Toy...

I got a new camera, just like the other one, but the newer cooler model. And its also BLUE! I had to test her out, so got some pics of the boys...Daddy was workin'....

Another Crazy Conversation....

I had my bowling league last night, so my boys went to the "Bleeding Pigs Place". Its actually a BBQ joint called Rodneys. There is a big pig playing in BBQ sause as the restaurants sign. Well Cooper thinks the BBQ sause is blood... and I must say, it does look to be true!!!!

Anways, this is Cooper and Daddy's conversation...

Coop: Wook daddy!! There is gum on the bottom of the table!! Who did that? That's BEEscusting!

Daddy: I don't know buddy, some NAUGHTY kid! YOU didn't do that did you?!

Coop: OOH no sir! I bet it was that icky girl over there... OH no it was pwab-wee Bill then he raced away in his CORbet laughing like a monkey wif the tires smoking and a licorice in his hand!Daddy: HOLY crap! Wow! I bet it was bill then!!

Coop: yeah see and there's a piece of tire in my hot dog basket from his fender!

Uuum.... Where does he come up with this stuff?!?

SHARK!!!!

Kali brought a SHARK over to Grandma's pool this past weekend. Its one that is suposed to grow bigger in the water. We thought it was going to get to full size in a few hours, but were proven wrong after reading the instructions - looks like it might take a few days. We've named him Merlin.

Here's a pic of him zoomed in... he's just a widdle tiny guy...

Cooper kepts on telling us it was not a real shark. However, Kali picked it up out of the water, and Cooper screamed like a little girl. TOO FUNNY!!!!!!!

Puzzles...

Cooper got a few puzzles for his birthday. HE LOVES PUZZLES. He is sooooo good at putting them together!! He did this Spongebob puzzle all by himself - I didn't help AT ALL!!

Father's Day.... at the Pool!!

Its too hot to do anything else for Father's Day, so we spent it at Grandma's pool!!

Uncle Myles sure is weird...
Happy Father's Day to Daddy, Pops and Grandpa!!!! We love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!

Rednecks John's 30th Birthday Party....

This past saturday, we packed up and drove to Ellijay to celebrate Redneck John's 30th birthday. Boy is it cool up there!!! It took us a tad over an hour and a half to get there, but was definitely worth it!! They had LOTS of games and even delicious homemade ice cream! Cooper liked RNJ's "monster trucks"!

RNJ had a frizbee, so Cooper and I tossed it back and forth for a while. Coop has a good arm thats for sure!!! He throws it a little backwards, but it goes pretty damn far!!!

I'm not sure what this game is called, but he loved it as well!!

Then everyone played badmitton. Too much physical activity for me, so I took pics!

Happy 30th RNJ!! We hope you had a great one!!!

Friday June 18th, 2010

Well, you can mark Friday June 18th, 2010 as Cooper's worst day yet. He started off by tripping at school, and hitting his cheekbone on the "corner" of a round table. Just before 10am I got a call from Miss Jennie, saying he may need stitches. I swear, I made it from work to school in NO TIME. Good thing I have Bertha back!! Once I got to the school and looked him over, I decided that he didn't need stitches (thank god!), so we went home to lounge and watch Spongebob. Here is the Day 1 Pic:

Day 2:

and Day 3: Luckily, it doesn't seem to bother him at all!

Anyways, back to "Coops worst day ever". That afternoon we had an appointment for his 4 year shots. Yuck. Luckily Dr Saade was able to look over his eye, and was quite impressed with his battle wound!! Cooper had his eye test (which he passed with flying colors), he had his hearing test (which he passed with flying colors). Then it was time for the shots... 2 in one leg, and 1 in the other. Poor guys screamed bloody murder. Then a second nurse came in to take 3 vials of blood for an Allergy test. Cooper took one look at this lady, holding a tray full of vials, and said "Are you going to hurt me too!!??!". Good thing Daddy was there with us, or I swear, I would have told them where to shove their "allergy test". Poor kid screamed through the entire thing. After she was done, and we got Cooper calmed down, he admitted it didn't hurt THAT bad, but that it did hurt "a widdle bit". He got 5 stickers, a bouncy ball and a plastic zebra from the nurses. Then of course Daddy and Mommy took him to walmart where he got a toy garbage truck and a BIIIIIG blue pillow. He really enjoyed showing off his bandaids to anyone that would look. But, hopefully, with any luck, we'll get good results back, and Cooper will have outgrown some of his allergies.... especially to peanuts. We shall see.

Visit from the Hubers!!

The Huber's sure do know how to surprise us Halls!!! Cooper had an absolute BLAST with Bella & MaKenna! (Bella is also our goddaughter!!) After Rigity rescues the pictures from Grandma's camera, I'll post more pics... in the mean time, all I have are the ones that I took the day they left. :(

Here's a pic of miss Isabella...

and Cooper, MaKenna, and Keenan...

Such Cuties!!
Thank you Hubers!!!! We cannot wait to see you again next month!!

MORE packages from Florida!!

More packages arrived from Florida last Tuesday!!!! Cooper couldn't wait to open them, so he tore 'em open at Grandma's.

I know this contraption has a name, however, I call it the "ball returner thingy". Cooper LOVED it!

Unfortunately, the ball returner thingy, had a short lifespan. After about 20 minutes of playing with it, Coop ran up to me with the biggest frown on his face, and said; "Mommy, I fink i bwoke my new toy!!". I turned around, and see the ball returner thingy SMOKING!! I mean, this thing was flat out smoking!! Not on fire, but close!!!! So I ran over and unplugged it. It smelt like burnt plastic for a while, and we attempted to "play" with it 3 days later ~ but it started to smell like burning plastic again. Maybe Cooper and Daddy can take it apart and fix it. Hopefully.

Cooper's 4th Birthday Party...

Last Saturday we had Cooper's 4th Birthday Party! The biggest surprise, even to Daddy and I, was that the HUBERS drove allllll the way down from Minnesota!!!!!! WOW!!!! 3 kids in the car for 20 hours straight!!!!!!!! It sure was super nice that they drove all that way to help us celebrate!! Boy was it HOT! We're going to have to install our own pool soon, or Mommy's moving to Alaska!!

I didn't bake a birthday cake this year, because our son doesn't eat cake. (Sometimes I wonder whose child he is, since Daddy and I love cake!!). I did make some Spongebob cupcakes for the other kids, but Grandma made him some Rice Crispie Treats!

Luckily, he LOVES those!!

Cooper sure does have some awesome family and friends. It felt like he opened presents for HOURS!!

Thank you to everyone that came!!!! You guys are awesome!!!!
