Summer Time!!!

Summer has been treating us great! :] Nothin' but maxin' and relaxin'....
                                                   The overalls are a tad big... but I couldn't wait!
                                                Coop's smilin' all the time now....cheeeeese

 Good Parenting: baby in Bjorn and video games! I won't even tell you what game it was!!! PS3 bites me in the ass again :]
                                                Alex and Cooper; let the games begin!

Soo excited Janel and the kids were back in town. I have a feeling it will be like a wolf pack when all the kids are older. Trouble, trouble, trouble :]

                                            Grace has enough kisses for Cooper anytime he wants <3

                                                               UNCLE MIKE!!!!


                                                          Aunt Janel is a pro!!..

First time at the pool! Cooper really is a water baby. And true to form, he never stops moving! I think if you'd let him go in his raft he'd kick to the other side. Just a little taste of what I went through at two in the morning during his pregnancy :]



                                                      ahhhh...what summer is all about!





Grandma will warm you up!
Fourth of July!!!

Our 4th began at Buhl's pool with the Barrys. Jack and Grace are really becoming quite the swimmers. Jack dared to jump backwards off the edge and Grace can do twists in the water.  Cooper is still working on his swimming skills, but is not far behind... he kicks like a pro! Grandma and Grandpa had it the best...enjoying all three grand kids :] The only thing missing from the day was Uncle Garrett, but it won't be long... and that will be a whole other kind of PARTY!
                                              
                                  


                                          Janel showing the kids how to do the perfect handstand

                                                                      say CHEESE!!!



                                          Where's the Aficionado magazine when you need it?


                                                          Cooper lovin' the water!

       ok, not quite beach ready by June, BUT...that what covers are for, and by covers I mean Sandy:]

                                                                          what a BOY

trying to get a grand kids shot took a hot minute... and trust me, there were more. This is the shortened version....
                                                                rounding them up....
                                                                Grandma's ready!
                                                                         almost....
                                                                     Perfect!!!!!  haha

                                                                             No fear!


                                                           Grace in all her coolness!


                                           Cooper was all swimmed out! He's livin' the dream...
Til' next time!


Our next fiesta was in Medina with the Sandys! Again, good weather and good times. We cooked out and enjoyed NEW friends. Our friends, the Craddocks, just had a little girl two weeks ago. We introduced Cooper to his girlfriend McKenzie. Hopefully Cooper will be much bigger than her when they go to prom :] After eating it was good ol' family time with boardgames and cards. I was soooo close to winning (as usual :] ) But Grandpa snuck in with some good Apples to Apples cards. Great night!

 Watching Sandy try to strap Grandma and Cooper into the Baby Bjorn was a trip! This is also an abbreviated version! It took them a minute...


                                                            but we got it! :]

                                                                     What a pro!

                                         
                                                       Introducing Mckenzie Craddock!
                                                      they'll learn to love each other!!!!


   awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

                                             Coop was pooped! Fell asleep in Grandma's arms


                                                                    BATH TIME!
                             
                                                     Coop's asleep.... let the games begin!

                                                    That's how I win... intimidation :] (right...)
The next morning was officially the Fourth, and coincidentally a Tribe game... red, white and blue, AND Chief Wahoo... perfect!
                        Grandpa will be giving that look A LOT when Cooper starts to run, I mean walk!
                                                                   But he can't say no :]
