Look at him jump!

Cooper has this love of jumping for some reason. He jumps into the bean bag chair, he jumps when he dances, he jumps off the couch into the bean bag, and he will not stop jumping on my bed, no matter how many times he gets in trouble for it. So the other day I was out working in the yard and he was begging to get up on the trampoline (I use to use it more for a way to get him out of the way and kind of like a "playpen"). Well once I put him up there he took off doing what he does best........jumping! Oh and jabbering away.....


Cooper Jumping


No worries he was just eating what was left of his roll, and I made him get off to eat the rest......no choking here! LOL

It snowed last night

We had a long drive home last night from Kyle's, the weather was not very good. But this morning the boys were ready to go out and play in what little snow we had gotten. They even got the sled out and made a couple runs down the hill in the back yard. I forget how cute they look in all their snow gear. To bad Cooper is not feeling very well so mean mom made him stay inside and watch. Next time buddy....

We had a great Thanksgiving......

We have so much to be thankful in our lives, mainly our family! We spent Thanksgiving day at Kyle and Kelly's, and had a great time. Of course there was lots of great food, especially the desserts! Yummmm!

After dinner we played a little Wii. This was the first time for me and I found out that suck at tennis on the Wii just as much as I do in real life, hey it IS really hard to hit that little yellow ball! (even though Spencer made it look pretty easy!) Cameron picked up on it faster than thought he would, but he was still fun to watch, he thinks kicking is allowed in boxing apparently. Mom has the bowling form even playing Wii, but Tim inched her out in the final round.

We were able to get some family pictures taken with the timer on the camera, and you know what think they all turned out pretty darn good. I need to get copies from Kyle of the whole family ones. I'll get them up here as soon as I get them.

The crazy thing is that now we get to do it all over again with Tim's family on Sunday. Yahoo more food! That means twice the work to work it all off though....oh well! I'll be updating you all on that dinner too.

Getting ready for dinner.....

A little fun with the Wii.....

Uncle Tim tickling Treven

Watch Cameron's form.......hahaha!

Nice form Mom!

Cooper and Tatum are about the same size..........14 months difference in age though.

Awwww how cute is that!

Thanks Kyle and Kelly! We had a wonderful time like usual. Love ya!

What 75 degrees in November?

We had a mini heat wave here the past couple day, so we took advantage of that and headed to the park cause the cold and snow will be back for the weekend. I like having a couple nice days here and there but going from the 70's to the 30's is hard on the body, no wonder why we are all sick around here. Oh well nice weather is nice weather around here this time of the year.

Still have not prefected that darn action shot!

Then Spencer and I were messing around and pinching things....don't ask but he thought it was hilarious.

Oh and then just a pretty sunset......

More Cub Scout Activities

Monday night was the pack meeting and the scouts put together bird houses for the National Forest Service. These were bird houses designed especially for the Blue Birds. They had a lot of fun with that project, and it was for such a good cause. After they finished they gave out the awards for the popcorn sales this year. Spencer ended up coming in 2nd place with over $1600 in sales. They gave prizes to the top 6 sellers, and out of the top 6 sellers, 4 of them were in Spencer's Den 5. Way to go guys! That won his Den the big ice cream party from the Pack. Spencer ended up winning a new scooter, 1st prize got a new bike, but he just got a new one last year so he was happy with his scooter.

The four boys here except for the little boy standing sideways are all Den 5.

What have we been up to????

Well some of you I'm sure might be wondering where the heck the updates have been.......well I have no excuse! I have just been hanging out around the house and trying to keep the boys entertained. We really have not did much of anything except for.......

Hang out and watch a little TV.......






Did a little house cleaning......



(please don't tell Spencer I put this picture up he might kill me! Shhhhhh)

Played a little music......




and watched it snow a little.....



So see not a whole lot to blog about I guess.

Who doesn't love to....

Jump in a pile of leaves. This was Cooper's first time enjoying this fall tradition and he loved it. So last Thursday we did some raking together, he wanted to do all the raking so it took awhile to get the pile for him to sit in. Then once he was in it he had to "swim" his way out, but he never got frustrated. It was a bit chilly and that didn't seem to bother him either. We had a good morning while the other two were at school.

Oh and Cooper also got his first styled haircut this weekend.....he got a bowl cut. He looks so much older with it cut like this. Still cute though!
