eh....

Yeah, I know...I need to update this with SOMETHING! Eh, maybe another day!

T-ball

Yep, once again I am late posting pictures. Coop finished his T-ball season in mid-June. We are still unsure if he really enjoyed it or not. He always complained about going to practice and the games, but once he was there he had a lot of fun with the other boys. Kyle was at every practice and every game and became one of the Dad coaches. He was known as the "Next Up Guy" because he hung out in the dugout and got the kids in order to go bat. He would yell out, "Next up...." and the name stuck!! Honestly, I think Kyle enjoyed T-ball more than Cooper! The games were actually a very humorous event for all the parents. Inevitably there was always a child who ran the opposite direction, someone got hit (not that that was funny), kids were seen sitting in the outfield making grass volcanoes or using their mits as hats and facemasks, many times the entire team ran after the ball if and when it was hit (causing a major pile-up), the kids looked like miniature bobble heads, little boys ran to trees to pee, kids ran out to the stands mid-game because they wanted to sit with their mommies, and the list goes on! In any case, we all cheered and yelled for all the children and it was nice to see that no one got "out" and each child got to hit the ball and run the bases--a great first experience for us "first timers" in the land of baseball. We're not sure if Coop will want to do T-ball next year, but now he wants to try out soccer. So, here we go again!

Basketball

Cooper just finished his first ever "team" sport of basketball! He was so fun to watch and he loved every minute of it. He never made a basket, but sort of learned the concept of running up and down the court! He said his favorite part of basketball was stretching and running laps! Next week he starts T-ball...oh dear....!

Jackson stats

As usual, I am late posting Jackson's 1 year stats.

He is FULL of energy, VERY strong and he loves to do whatever his big brother is doing! He is an avid food lover (just like his mommy) and can out-eat almost all of us!!! Here are a few pics of the Big One Year Old on his birthday, New Year's Eve!

Catch Up Time!

Meant to send out Christmas cards/picture/e-mail/something--never happened!

Freakin' cold here!

Newfie pulling Coop!

Halloween 2008--Briggs and Super Cooper!

First time in the leaves and he HATED it!



Yep, I will admit I am HORRIBLE at keeping this thing up to date. I think about doing it often, but time restraints just don't allow me the opportunity. Here are a few pics of what we have been up to over the last couple of months!

COLD!

2 freakin' degrees today and NEGATIVE 20 degrees windchill. That's all I'm saying... :(.

Bye AZ...

Ok, so it's a little late, but I'm trying to catch up with this blog thing. Here is our last picture outside our home in AZ. We loved living there and will always have fond memories living in the cul-de-sac.
We are slowly adjusting to life back in Indiana. And, we have to say it's wonderful being so close to family, especially now that we have children. It's wonderful to see the boys interact with their cousins and different family members. And, Briggs is LOVING the colder weather. I, on the other hand, am still getting used to the cold! More pics to come!
