The Fair
Last night we took Cooper to the North Georgia State Fair, where we met up with our friends Alan & Vanessa. Every year we go with these good friends - and have a blast!!! Cooper was VERY excited about being there!! After enjoying our delicious fair food dinner (corn dogs)- it was time for Coop to go on some rides. He's been talking about the Farris Wheel ALL YEAR, but wanted nothing to do with it last night. (of course) Cooper came FLYING out of this shark - it was HILARIOUS!!
You probably remember this obstacle course from last year - Cooper went on it a MILLION times. Well this year was no different. For some reason this was a popular "ride" this year, and the line was CRAZY long. That didn't stop him though, he waited patiently every single time.
We were able to drag him away from the obstacle course to watch the human cannon. While waiting, he saw this guy with a mohawk (wig). Lovely. Now he wants a colorful mohawk.
Then onto the Tractors and to see the animals!
aaaand, back to the obstacle course...
He was not a happy camper when it was time to leave. It was a school night though, so we're planning on going back before the fair leaves town. Besides I want to ride the Farris Wheel!!!

FINALLY some cooler weather!
The weather here has FINALLY started to cool off. (Took long enough in my opinion!) Its been awhile since Cooper got to enjoy his trampoline and yard mansion. I told Travis that he needs to build me a swing so I can lay out there and read while Coop and Dallas play. I LOVE this weather!! Here are some pics I took... He LOVES his minnesota twins hat... not sure why it was sideways though.
Dallas even enjoyed the weather with us.
Cooper has been doing flips lately. This picture doesn't LOOK like it ended well, but it did - he lands on his back everytime. However he DID do a back flip once, but we put a stop to that. 
I kept trying to get some good pics of Dallas, but everytime I'd try to snap one, she'd run. Little stinker.
Grandma bought her a BLINGING name tag. Its got rhinestones on it and everything! You can kinda see it in this pic...
I must say, I sure do have a handsome little guy. Every time I look at pictures of him, it amazes me on how fast he's growing. I really wish he'd stay little forever, but at the same time, I've REALLY enjoyed watching him grow. 
He told me the reason his hands are in the air, is because "that's what big boys do". I asked him if big girls did that, and he quickly told me: "no, girls have to hold on so they aren't scared". Good thing we cleared that up.
After we took a bath, Cooper RANDOMLY kept saying that he wanted a mohawk. Apparently one of his friends at school has one. Anyways, so Daddy and Cooper decided to google some pictures of mohawks. This pic cracks me up - they look like twins!!

MONSTER TRUCKS!!!!!!
A few times a year, Monster Trucks come to Dixie Speedway in Woodstock - only a short drive from the house. Cooper has never been to Dixie Speedway, so we packed a cooler, some of his Monster Trucks, and even brought Grandma, who hasn't seen the races. Boy did we have a blast. We got there early enough that we were able to bring Cooper down to the pits - which he LOVED. We got his picture taken in front of ever truck there.... This was Coopers favorite - War Wizard
And the Ground Pounder...
Cult ...
Gunslinger...
Bad News...
Reptoid...
and Avenger ...
Cam took this pic ~ its a MONSTER COOPER!!!
He covered his ears for a while when they first started. Which is weird, because he never covers his ears when we go see these trucks at the dome.
He played in the dirt a LOT while the real monster trucks were racing. By the time we left, Coop looked like he was spray tanned... but nope, its just the Georgia clay!!!
That smile NEVER left his face though!!

Dallas - 3.5 Months
Our dog is growing like a weed. I forgot how much fun it is to literally watch Great Dane's grow. Cooper had an orange for a snack, and I caught him "sharing with Daw-wis. GROSS. He'd take a bite, then hold it out for her. 
Helping Daddy...
A couple weekends ago Daddy had a Water Feature to check on, so Cooper and I tagged along. Cooper is a BIG helper!!
The water feature was pretty cool too, I wouldn't mind having one in the backyard!! :)
Then he found a butterfly... that kept him entertained for awhile!! He even told to me "take a picture of me and my fwiend!!"
He randomly pulled this sprinkler out of the ground... Yup... definitely his father's son!
When we got back to the truck, Cooper says "I'm gonna wear these next time we have to fix somefing". We took a look back there to see what he was talking about.... What a nut.
