Leaves

I went a little overboard on leaf pictures this year, but I didn’t realize how much fun leaves were till I had a little kid to play in them. Growing up we never had trees that allowed us to have huge leaf piles, so now that our house, and grandma’s house has them I let Cooper play in them as much as possible. It brings out my inner child :) He seems to like it too. Here are a few pics we took on his 1st Birthday.

May the Force Be With You

So, for Halloween, we'd been planning for so long in advance to be the Star Wars crew, and even though Cooper looked like a green headed sheep instead of Yoda, it was lots of fun!! We went to a really fun Halloween party that Vanessa Stubbs planned, and I will post a picture of Laurisa in her totally cool Astronaut suit too, :) :) Then on actual Halloween, we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house and ate delicious butternut soup that grandma made, and like 10 breadsticks (yes, 10 breadsticks, no wonder I can't lose this tire around my waist), and played Halloween Scattergories. It was a fun fun holiday!!

May the Force Be With You All

Other pics will come soon, can't find my camera that has my cute nephews as super heroes. Bye now!

Coop's Birthday Cake Video

Here's a short little video of Cooper eating, well not really eating, but playing in his birthday cake.  Sure love this little guy.

Just some fun little things in October...

Gardner Village and Petting Zoo

Basically, I just love Kelly Stubler Halvorsen. She is one my best friends and we took our kids to the zoo. Plus she gave me tips on how to save some mula, which is always a good thing. I felt like it was old times, the old times that we sit in front of the mirror and comb our hair and it would stay in place because of the grease, clear back in 7th grade. I will forever just love that girl!!  We are excited the boys are starting to interact with each other, however we have come to the conclusion that Cole has grown a wee bit more stocky than lil Coop.  Oh yeah, and if you want to see the actual video highlight of them at the zoo, then click here.
