Ruth & Frankie, a Great Pair!

It was our 3rd anniversary this week so we celebrated by going to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. If you have never been, I highlyrecommend it! The food is unbelievable, the service fantastic and the atmosphere calming (even with a 1 year old). It's definitely not your everday place to dine, but it's a real treat once a year.

To continue with the festivities, we went to Frankie's Funpark (this time without Cooper) and enjoyed miniature golf, go-karts (fun enough to go twice), batting cages, and video games. It was super fun and I so enjoyed spending some alone time with my handsome hubby! He is so much fun and he works so dang hard during the summers!

Happy Anniversary to us!

The Reading of Elmo

Isn't he cute?

Dexter's Dinosaur

Broc and Julie came to watch Mindy's kids. Since we had an artist in town, we took advantage of the cheap labor and put him to work in Dexter's room. Oooh. Scary!

Broc just threw this on the wall in pencil. My contribution was to erase a few pencil lines with a baby wipe. Talent runs through this family!

Oh, to be 1 again

To be this excited,


you might think we did something funny,



or maybe amazing,



or maybe spectacular,

but all we did was roll a ball down the slide.
Oh, to be so easily amused!

Swimming, a whole 'nother adventure

Yes, he does jump in and go underwater.


He'd prefer if we didnt' hold him while he swims but we all know what would come of that.

The step is his place to do his own thing.

He couldn't be happier to be at the pool.

Happy Granpda Day!

Here's a little song that the girls put together for Father's day. We love you Grandpa!

Water Bottle

Coop loves water bottles...who needs toys ;-)

Thank you Grandma!

Just a couple shots of Coop in his new outfits from Grandma. Thanks Grandma!

If you don't recognize this shirt Mom, it's because he already had 4 pairs of blue shorts so we returned the ones you got him and got this shirt (and the red flip-flops above) so really, you got him this shirt too ;-) You have great taste! Thanks again!
