Summer Fun

We have been enjoying this summer more than ever! I am not sure what I am going to do when Morgan goes back to school and Cooper has preschool 2 mornings a week. But for now, I will focus on the four weeks I have left with them this summer. Between air shows, great trip to a cabin, swimming, camps, parks, playdates... we have really just enjoyed our time together. Stephen and I even got away for a night in Chicago! Now we are planning a trip home to see all our family. What could be better?

Oh my... It seems that it's been a while since I have updated anyone on our family. Let me see if I can catch you up. Morgan graduated from Texas Tech and is now working on her Masters. Cooper joined the Dallas Cowboys as linebacker and is starting this season...

Ok, well, maybe it hasn't been THAT long, but I did gasp when I realized it had been 6 months. So here's a quick montage of pictures to show you just what we have been up to the past few seasons.


Morgan got her ears pierced. I only cried a little bit. It's hard and wonderful at the same time to see her grow and mature. She is turning into the most beautiful, caring, smart young lady and we are so thankful to be a part of that.

Last day of school.

Morgan loved her teacher this year.
Stephen and Morgan eating fried worms. I could barely watch through the camera... I didn't accept a kiss from either one of them for a week!

And yeah, it's been a while. Here's Easter.

Cooper's Birthday

Well, we FINALLY celebrated Cooper's Birthday. It got a bit sidetracked with our trip to Texas, but hey, the kid is 2, he will never know we waited 2 weeks to celebrate. He is absolutely the funniest, caring, energetic, life of the party kind of kid I have ever met. (I'm not just saying that as is mom, it's true, but I could be a little swayed to vote for him.)
* Favorites:
- If the boy had the $ and a car, I swear he would head straight to the tattoo shop to get Diego on his arm. The kid LOVES Diego, only his pet name isn't so nice. He's known as DoDo in our house.
- And the only competition for Diego is "Traurs" as in Truck + Cars = Traurs
He could watch one or both of these programs at any given time (and has simultaneously watched both. Don't ask, I never said we were the best of parents, you do what you got to do sometimes.
- C-A-N-D-Y! Need I say more? He literally scales the pantry shelves like Spider man trying to get his yummy treats.
- Anything stereotypical of a Manly Boy! Trucks ramming into things, throwing things to see if they break, flipping over couches, chairs, jumping the stairs 2 at a time.... Basically anything that gives his mother a heart attack. He's so boy it's not even funny, but we wouldn't have him any other way.

Now for the things we don't like so much:
- Anyone to say NO to him. That's pretty much it.
Oh, and anything that confines him such as strollers, grocery carts or high chairs. Other than that, he's a happy boy!
