Weekend Trip to Sandestin

Daddy was in Sandestin for an entire week, so on the last weekend he was there, Cooper and I loaded up the car and drove down to enjoy the beach for a few days. Unfortunately, we only had 2.5 hours of beach time - it rained the rest of the time. We had fun anyways though!! Cooper LOVES staying in "skyscrapers". These first few pics are from our breakfast before hittin the beach - I can't believe how fast he's growing!!Hopefully we can make it back down there one more time before it gets cold!!

New Shoes!

We have a little bit of a Shoe-a-holic on our hands. Cooper LOVES tennis shoes - he says they make him run fast. Anyways, he's been begging for some "hot lights". We've been seeing these Sketchers Hot Lights commercials for a while now, so I finally caved. (I must admit, if they had em in my size, I'd have a pair of my own!!)
He still wants some Sling Shot shoes, maybe Santa will bring them.

Cooper & Dallas

Cooper ABSOLUTELY LOOOOVES Dallas. He calls her "Daw-wis". He likes it when she chases him around the yard - although he definitely has more energy than she does. I've been trying to get pictures of the two of them so you can see how big she's gotten, however its REALLY hard to get the two of em to stand still at the same time.

In this next one he told me he was trying to get her to stand still...

She actually gave into him after awhile!

Dallas & Bruski

Dallas FINALLY got to meet Bruski under better circumstances!! Last time, she was sleeping and he scared the living shit out of her- this time was MUCH better! After about 30 minutes of sniffin' eachother, they've become best buds. Cooper spent a few hours throwing sticks for them both. Soooo cute!Grandma's hostas got squished... guess this one can't be blamed on Myles or Bru...

Coops newest interest - a DRILL

Yep, thats right, a DRILL. There isn't anything in the drill, he just likes to watch it spin. Yup, thats my boy!!

Rylan's First Birthday Party

Good friends of ours, Redneck John and Hollie, threw their little guy, Rylan, his first birthay party. TOO CUTE! It was a Cat in the Hat theme!! Cooper was shy for pretty much the whole party. He wouldn't pin the tail on the donkey, bob for apples, or even pull a ribbon on the pinata. We still had sooo much fun!!

There was a really cool river and train bridge next to the building where the party was held, so of COURSE Cooper had to check it out!!

Pool Time!

Yup, pool time, again. If I win the lotto, I WILL be putting my own pool in!

Miss Lucy even got to spend time with Dallas. We took a pic because we figure this will be the ONLY time Dallas is a WEEE bit smaller than Lucy.

Sunday Morning Fishin'...

Last Sunday we decided it was time to do some quality Sunday Morning Fishin'. We even brought Dallas, who LOVES the boat!!! It sure did get hot QUICK, but here are some pics from our morning on the lake...

(its been barely more than a week since these pics, and I already can't believe how much bigger she is now!!)

It got so hot, that we let him take his life jacket off...

I even got a pic of Daddy when he wasn't lookin'...Best buds already...Man this kid is goofy:

This is not very safe, but it was too cute to not snap a pic...

We even saw a Gar (sp) when we got back to the dock!

(gross, if you ask me)
