Bowlin'...

For those of you that don't know, Mommy is in a bowling league on Monday nights. So lately, we've been taking Cooper to the Bowling Alley. Cooper loves bowling, and actually does pretty good!!

He's quite the bowler. Sometimes he even uses Mommy's bowling ball!!! This picture was taken after he "spun" the ball - he got all the pins down except one!! - He's got the goofiest facial expressions!!!

I think bowling might become our family event every Sunday!!

Painting Cars

Last weekend mommy had to go to the "Fabric Store" (Joanns) to pick up a few things, and Daddy and Cooper found this awesome paintable car. Cooper had a BLAST painting it.

He started off doing just one color at a time, then quickly switched to dipping his little brush into each color before painting his car.

(WOW his hair is long! HA!! Don't worry, "Ka-wi" is going to cut it for him on Sunday.)

Here's his almost finished project, drying...

and her is the completely finished project. Daddy helped him put the stickers on it...

I'm gonna have to buy a bunch more of those things!!! That was fun!!

Rain, Rain Go Away

I wish this wet weather would go away. We've been trying to burn some christmas Trees, however the backyard is soggy. Yesterday, on the way to Gramma's, it was raining pretty hard. Cooper was mad cuz the rain was too loud and he couldn't hear his CD (its a CD book about Gorillas). This was our conversation:

Coop: Mommy, those cwouds up there have motors.
Mommy: They do??
Coop: Yep, thats how they make rain, and thats why its woud (loud).
Mommy: How do the motors get way up there?
Coop: [while shaking his head] Dey just jump up there.
Mommy: Are the clouds strong enough to hold motors?
Coop: Yes Mommy, if dey weren't, then dey wouldn't have motors.

The kid has one helluva imagination.

New Sink & Faucet...

I've come to the conclusion that I am officially old. Not quite 30 yet, but old none the less. I wanted a new kitchen sink and faucet SOOOOOO bad. Cooper and Daddy got me one for Christmas, and I was just as excited abour that sink as I was about the keg (thanks Santa!). Last weekend Daddy finally got the chance to install this sink, and of course, Cooper helped. I'm really not sure why Cooper had on Daddy's motorcycle "glubbs", but he was convinced he needed them.

I should also note that Cooper was NOT happy I was taking pictures of him and Daddy. He kept telling me "STOP taking pictures, we're trying to WORK here". Sorry Coop, deal with it, it was too cute to NOT take pics.

Cooper is such the cute little helper.

Here is the finished product. Not sure why it looks like the sink has a white edge, cuz it does not. I love it though!!! Washing cookie sheets is SO much easier, AND I don't get soaked!

Monster Jam 2010

Saturday night we took Cooper to see the Monster Trucks at the GA Dome. Cooper LOVES Monster Trucks, and this is his second year going. He REALLY liked when the monster trucks tipped over. He'd randomly lift his arms up in the air and scream "WOOOOOOOOOO". Crazy kid.
Cooper cannot wait to go next year!!

Uncle Myles' Jeep...

Forgot this pic... Uncle Myles has ALWAYS wanted a Power Wheels Jeep. For some reason, Santa never brought him one, till this year. :) Uncle Myles was SUPER excited about it, as was Cooper...

He drove it all around Grandma's yard.

Swingset

Yesterday, Santa sent one of his elves out to the house to install Coopers "Super Crazy Cool Swingset". It took the poor elf about 7 hours, in the freezin' cold. Cooper sat in his recliner, and watched the progress...

Here is the backyard "before"...

and here is the backyard "after"....

After dinner, we bundled up and went outside to test it out. (Mommy tried the slide, and just about ended up on her ass.)

He even tested out the trampoline. I think our backyard is now officially a playground.
