      Since I haven’t learned to shoot in full sun yet without giving the children awful shadows on their faces, I will just look for shadows 🙂 I love how his little feet dangle from the swing. I know all too soon, he will be pumping that swing himself (well, not this swing, but you…

      This one LOVES peas! And so far, he hasn’t shoved any up his nose (like Mckenzie did when she was little)!!!

      I am so excited to see the how much progress has been made on the basement already. It will be so nice to have the extra living space and a guest room for family/friends. The company we hired to do the work is awesome and they are going above and beyond what we expected.…

    The boy loves to play with utensils and pots. I think he would be just fine with it if I got rid of all his toys and just let him scrounge through the kitchen for things to play with 🙂

    Doesn’t every child need a photo in the aisles of Target 🙂 It seems appropriate for this one as we are there a couple times a week! Too bad I was never gutsy enough to take my camera with me when the girls were little. Then we could have had matching Target photos for all…

      Sheri, Matt, and the kids came down to visit for the weekend. We visited the Budweiser Brewery in St. Louis. It was a pretty cool place to see and the best part was the kids were well behaved!   The Clydesdale horses are HUGE! They have a few horses at the factory but most…

      Today we celebrated Cooper’s first birthday with some friends. I was so happy that he was fever free and feeling better. I don’t think he was a 100%, but he was definitely more himself than he has been this last week! He was still unimpressed with the cupcake. A few minutes with the cupcake…

      Cooper loves to play behind the curtains. He gets this devilish grin on his face and hides away in the curtain, waiting for someone to find him.
