"Down on grandpa's farm"

Cicely and Rachel helped grandpa out by picking vegetables in his garden!

Courtlin

Courtlin is my little princess. No, really! She will tell you she is a princess! She is talking so great these days! I love hanging out with this girl! She is so imaginative! She loves her "cold blanket", her dad, her dolls and her purses! She loves to dance. She loves her brothers and sisters and cannot wait to be a big kid! And she HATES getting her hair done!

Cooper

Cooper is sure growing up fast! He has decided to unleash mass amounts of personality! He sings and plays all day long! He jumps up and down probably 100+ times a day! While it has been sad that he is growing up so fast I love having conversations with him now that he is a "Big Boy" I love this little man!

Chet

Chet is such a good kid!
He is LOVING being a first grader!
He has turned into being a silly kid!
I love watching him interact with the kids in his class.
He loves his teacher Mrs. Sewell.
His best friend is Brock.

Chet Football

Chet scored his first touchdown. It was especially fun cause Aunt Jodi and her kids were there to watch him. Chet asks all the time who he can invite to watch him play and so it was fun when he knew Jodi would be there! It meant a lot to us because Jodi had a really big day so for her to take time out to come watch Chet was so awesome! Thanks Aunt Jodi and kiddos! We love you!

Stake Fun Run

We had a Stake Fun Run. Our family ran the 1 mile race. It was a lot of fun! Chet finished 22'nd without anybody helping him. Cooper and I finished in 15 minutes which I thought was awesome considering Coop needed a "pit stop". Chrislyn finished just in front of us. Cicely fell and scraped her arm and lost interest so she didn't finish but she had fun! Chris carried Courtlin and finished in 22 minutes but Court took 2'nd in her division and Chris took 3'rd in his. Cooper did take 3'rd in his division too!

Happy Birthday Cooper

Football (Chet)

They took my flag...Boo!

I saw this yesterday and thought it was very funny! I had to post it!

"He rules the Roost...I rule the Rooster!"

Soccer (Cooper)

Cooper had his first soccer game. We were anxious to see how he would do in this type of setting...and he rocked! He scored 3 goals (although he went out of bounds for one of them before he scored) He loved playing and has been counting the days until his next practice/game! It is also so fun to watch Chris coach his team! Cooper is growing up so fast! I hope we can keep up with this little man! He wants to do it all!

Court's Big Day

Cicely's Surprise Birthday Breakfast

Cicely wanted a surprise party for her birthday...I told her that if she asked for one that kind of ruined the surprise so she probably wouldn't be getting one. Little did she know I had planned a surprise breakfast with a few of her friends. Chris took her out on her birthday morning to choose out her favorite ice cream and to hang with her dad. Then when she got home we all jumped out and surprised her! She was very surprised and VERY happy! I also appreciated how many times she said "Thank-you" She is a very sweet young lady! Everyone who knows Cicely loves her! What fun we are having raising this very special daughter!
