Sleep Over

Abby had her first overnight guest this evening.... Judah and Coop went down early but Elyjah and Abby had a great evening watching George, reading books, and going to bed.

Father's Day

I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many amazing Father's. I have a great dad of my own, an especially amazing husband, wonderful grandads and a great father in law. We all gathered together at Shad's parents to celebrate Father's Day this year. Here are a few shots.

Cooper jumped up and down on Jordan's tiger for a long time. He had a blast. It made me miss the PennBs so much. I wish that they were here to celebrate with us. Look at this smile would ya...

June Catch Up

Definition of Crazy--- 6 (and 1/2) kids at On The Boarder-- nuff said.

Our Silly Girl--

I was trying to snap a pic of her HUGE boo boo from her fall the other day. Look really hard at her nose. Notice that she chose her pink rain boots to wear out. She has become quite opinionated about her wardrobe lately. The other day she wore her dress up cheerleader uniform to Wal-Mart. You have to choose your battles I guess.

Madison's bday party....

Coop's "spot" at the Y.

Honey thought Abby needed her nails done so she took her for her first mani/pedi. Abby was in heaven. She thought it was so cool. She still ask to go get her nails painted. I think Honey has started something.

This is Abby's last visit to my class this year. We had fun with the SMARTBOARD. My students love when the kids come for a visit. Abby had a great time and Cooper was a trooper. Ab thought she was just as big as the rest of them.

Cooper's first swim in the back yard....

Abby loves her rainboots--thanks Grandma! :)

Here is Abby "feeding" Cooper- she is so "helpful!"

Random Summer Pics/News

I have not been good at all about updating but here are some pics (that I stole from friends on facebook :) b/c I haven't downloaded any of mine yet).

Our summer has been busy but great. Nothing overly exciting but we are always on the go. Cooper has developed quite a personality and is sitting up, rolling over, and talking to us all the time. Abby is a very proud and helpful big sis. She is basically potty trained and has finally started telling us when she has to go and been dry for many days in a row. (M&Ms seemed to have done the trick). She currently has a huge ugly scab on her nose from a catastrophic fall. She is always singing, talking on the phone, or reading. Honey made it back from Sweden/Europe and we are about to celebrate Father's Day with both sides of the family on Sunday. We spend most of our days swiming (am and pm) and playing with friends. Shad is studying hard for his upcoming test. That about sums us up...

Playing at the park with pals....
