      The girls got to wear hats to school today and they were very excited about it! They went out last night with Scott to pick out their hats. (in awful weather mind you. The bad weather/tornado sirens were going off and they were out shopping while I was at home freaking out about their…

      The two littles were bonding over the iPad. It was short-lived and then Mckenzie got upset that Cooper kept touching the screen. At least they were happy for the photo 🙂

      We took the kids for a bike ride at a local park. It has a really nice path that isn’t too long and there are a couple of parks along the way for the little ones to play at. This was Cooper’s first ride in the pull behind so he had to get his…

      Cooper finally got to open his birthday presents from us. We wanted to wait until he was feeling better so he could enjoy them as best a one year old can.  He got a wagon and a couple of cars. The one car was a duplicate (albeit newer) version of a toy Mckenzie had…

      We took the kids to visit the Blue Morpho Butterflies at the Butterfly house in St. Louis today. There were thousands of butterflies floating in the air. Scott and I thought it was pretty cool. Unfortunately, it kind of freaked the girls out. They didn’t like how the butterflies were all around them (you…

      I am pretty sure I already have a photo (or ten) of Cooper eating an apple, but I was lacking for inspiration and this was all that was happening around here. He still loves apples, especially if we leave them whole.

    When you finish reading here, head on over to Jennifer Bacher’s blog to see some fabulous photos 🙂       My sweet Cooper. You turned one this month and I am utterly in shock at how that happened. Seriously. This last year with you has flown by. I know that many people say that,…

      Mckenzie went to an outing at Panera for her Daisy troop. She got to make a cookie and bread. Neither of which she liked 🙁 She has very specific likes/dislikes when it comes to both of those and the plainer the better.

      Little man doesn’t like to spend time in his pak-n-play and begs me to get out whenever I need to put him in.
