Coopers First Camping Trip

Yep, we took Cooper on his very first camping trip out at Lake Allatoona! The real reason for the trip was for Brodey's 6th Birthday!!!!! Boy did we have a blast! Coop LOVES camping and keeps asking us when we're going to go again! We didn't know how the kids were going to do, so this trip was a short one - only ONE night. Although we made sure we brought everything that was needed! I should also note that this campsite is one of Uncle Myles' favorites - and you can only get there by boat!These crazy boys got hot, so decided to swim! Unfortunately we thought it was going to be cold, and didn't bring bathing suits - so they swam in their undies!We brought the dogs; Bruski and Dallas as well. Bru LOVES to swim, but Dallas was not a fan. Everytime Bru would get in the water, she'd wait by the shore, so Uncle Myles threw her in....... and she just stood there. What a dork!She chewed a LOT of sticks...Here's Coops undies. We hung em up to dry after he went swimming. HEHEHI'm really not sure why Cooper is making this face, but it sure makes me laugh!!Yup,he's weird.Cooper loves using an "axel". He has a pretty good swing, and was making me extremely nervous. He hit his little shin once too, making it bleed. These boys look worn out!!Uncle Myles and Uncle Jeffie made a HUUUUGE fire. It was awesome!(Poor Lyla Beans!)The boys all slept in the same tent. I loved listening to them giggle!! When we woke up the next morning, Cooper stole my camera and took a pic of himself.We had a BLAST camping. Now that we know he LOVES to camp, we'll be going a LOT!!

Cheering on his cousin...

Coopers cousin, Brodey, is in baseball and we got lucky enough to go watch a game!! Here's the cheering section - Brock, Coop and LylaBrodey was manning 3rd base!We can't wait to cheer at more games!!

Trip to Minnesota

Boy did we have fun in Minnesota!!! We all few up to celebrate Big Grandpa's 80th Birthday!! The weather was PERFECT as well. It was a nice break from the heat of Georgia.While we were there, Keenan was baptized - and Uncle Myles & Aunt Ashleigh are now his godparents! Here's the Three Muskateers - they sat so nicely through the entire ceremony! L-R: Makenna, Bella (our goddaughter), and Cooper.Cooper and Daddy did a LOT of fishingLil Lucy Rae even enjoyed her first trip!Check out these 4 pros - that Shot-Ski is AWESOME!We even got a picture of Big Grandpa, his oldest Great Grandson- Brayden, and his youngest Great Granddaughter - Lucy.Boy did we have a good time with the Minnesota Family! Too bad we live so far away!

HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY BIG GRANDPA!!!!

Caffeine & Octane

We went to a car show a few weekends ago called "Caffeine & Octane". Daddy has gone a few times, but this was my first time. BOY HAVE I BEEN MISSING OUT!! Hopefully the weather will hold out, and there will be one more next month! These are Coopers favorite cars... besides Uncle Bills of course!He sure is handsome!!!

2010 Memory Walk

At the beginning of the month, we participated in the 2010 Memory Walk in loving Memory of Kendora Larson (my Grandma). This is our 3rd year, and Daddy, Cooper and I love every minute of it. Our team of 25, dwindled down to 4 the last week before the walk. I was EXTREMELY disappointed in my friends, but we had blast without them!! This year the walk was held at 6 Flags! Our little munchkin wasn't too sure of the "wolf" (and was confused on why his name was Sylvester - since that's where little grandpa lives)

Daffy Duck even made an appearance!!Guess it was just a bit too early for Cooper to make friends with giant animals.This years walk was 1.5 miles, and Cooper was a trooper! He walked the entire time, holding my hand. I didn't get many pics :( , but either way, we had a blast!! We can't wait till next years walk!!
