Andy plays peek a boo

And more..

Cooper made me this "horse" and told me "happy birthday Mama." It was a few weeks after my birthday but he's a thoughtful boy.

This mushroom is huge! It grows along the road where we walk to the bus stop.

Cooper really got into painting for a while. 

We did some dog sitting for the hygienist that Tucker works with.  The dog, Dottie, is a chi-weenie. The kids loved it.

Every once and awhile Cooper wants a hair do. It normally lasts about 5 minutes.

Jill color codes her shirt drawer. She is so much more like Mumsy than me. 

Cooper learned to ride his tricycle.

Jill wanted a picture of her room that she cleaned and organized. Pretty impressive right?

We did some exploring around town and went on a walk on this trail where Tuck used to do cross country training. They had monkey bars and we were shocked to discover Jill can do them!

Crazy sock day!

Chiefs Pre Season Game

Tucker's boss gave us some tickets to a preseason game.  The kid's favorite part was a horse that would run out on the field when they scored. 

Couldn't hold Cooper's interest.. much to Tucker's disappointment. Andy probably liked it the most out of all the kids. He would clap and dance to the music.

Andy is often a prop in his big brother and big sister's games

Andy started crawling mid summer and he has been such a tornado ever since. He now walks around things and gets into everything. He loves to pull everything out of any drawer or cupboard he can get open.

This is Jill outside of her elementary school on Meet the Teacher night. We have been really happy with her teacher and she is loving school.

First day of kindergarten. Ready to go!

Cooper enjoys dressing up and coloring in a big way

Cooper is still very attached to his ducky. We have had a really hard time with both Cooper and Andy's sleeping ever since we moved. They both often end up squeezing in around me and crowding me out.

This is a picture of the kids showing a Happy Birthday sign to my dad. I thought it was pretty funny. Really captures their general innate attitudes in life.

Spidey

Cooper has decided he is afraid of the dark. One night we came up to bed to find that he had tucked himself into my spot to sleep. I guess it was less scary than his own bed. 

Family Pictures

Also this summer we had some pictures taken. We did not get a great one of all of us at the same time but some great smaller group shots. Here are a few of my faves.
