Our Attempt at a Family Photo

Last Sunday we were in Charleston, SC for our niece Cecily's baptism. So I thought what a great time to get a family photo since we were all dressed up and my FIL usually takes a great photo. Well like I said it was only an attempt Cooper refused to look up and Brayden had meltdown after meltdown... nuff said.


I however got a great photo of Chuck and Cooper!


And here is a pic of Kylan and a couple of his cousins!

Out with the Old, In with the New

Wow it's been over a week since I have blogged. I guess I am letting life catch up with me again. Well the boys are doing great in school. We got their midterm reports and they have excelled. We are are not surprised with Kylan cause he has always loved school...his teacher says he is a great young man and a joy in her class. But Brayden who usually is not worried about learning (has his mind on sports 24/7) has had such great days!! Everyday he gets off the bus and says "I'm on blue mom!" He has made a lot of friends and has told us all the girls love him. I don't know what to think about that one but we are glad he is loving school. I am so proud of them!!


Cooper of course is keeping me so very busy...he is just a healthy, energetic, growing 10 month old.





Well today was one of the busiest days Saturday's we have had in a while.
The boys had their Meet the Coach meetings for Flag Football this morning. We were at the YMCA for over an hour.
Kylan will be on the Falcons(7-9) & Brayden will be on the Chargers(5-6).
We are excited for this years football season, the YMCA cleaned out the bad seeds and everyone seemed very respectful and supportive. ( Last year Kylan had a crazy coach- negative and a have to win, argue with the refs and coaches/parents type a guy.) We are so glad we did not see him there and happy about the new rules!!



We also had both end of the Soccer season games. And had trophy parties at two different Cici's Pizza places. Brayden won his game and scored two goals today! He got a trophy and goody bag for his great effort this season in soccer.

Then we raced over to Kylan's game. Kylan's team lost today, Brayden played with them again and they played really good. They showed such growth, great passing and blocking, dribbling. We are really proud of both of them. We ended up going to another Cici's after this game for Trophy's and Kylan got his trophy and they gave Brayden one to for being the honorary team member on there team, he was so excited. He really deserved it. He not only practiced with them every week but helped them win each week too.

We are so proud of our soccer players!! WTG Kylan & Brayden!!





Oh and did you all see, Michigan (GO BLUE) won today!! Yay!! Cooper and I wore our Blue and Gold today!! It was a great game!! Go Blue!!


I told ya they were excited for football season!!

I want to be big like my brothers!!

Not only is he climbing on everything...
But he is trying to play video games too!!

It's too funny. Whenever we can't find Coop he is almost always in his brothers room. I think he thinks that is his room too. We obviously need some more toys for him. What a little stinker!!

So this is what they do when Mom's at work!!!

Chuck's new babysitter...the laundry basket!

Dad let me out already... I guess you can only play in a laundry basket for so long.

My 10 month old

Cooper is 10 months old today!!

He is getting so big!

He is all over the place. He crawls fast and holds on to the furniture and walks around it.

He can even stand for a few seconds on his own.

He is driving me crazy with the electronics. He tries to get behind the T.V. and use the DVD player. He wants to play Wii with us. And he loves the computer!

He just had his 3rd tooth bust through. 1st one on the top!! So cute!

Oh and his favorite words are Hi Momma. ball. Hi. mom. Brayden. dada

Well he tries to say them. Pretty good at Hi and momma. He also has been humming like Brayden used to. That always melted my heart.

He loves to play with his big brothers.

Oh his hair is getting a little longer. You just can't see it in pics. It is so light!!

His favorite foods are pizza, pasta, watermellon, fishes, puffs, yogurt, mommy's milk!

I can't wait for his birthday!! This year is going by really fast!!

Cooper throwing a temper tantrum!!

Cooper loves his big brother Kylan!

Watching soccer and throwing fits makes me tired!!

This Week In Photos
