DA MOON....

.. I am going to try to catch up!!

Cooper has a fascination with the moon. He cheers up when we go look at it and when you ask him "Cooper, wheres the moon?" he goes in a circle with his hand lifted to the sky! Hes been doing this for months. Jen and Fam got him the Goodnight Moon book and he loves it when he is on the moon pages- he uses his thumb to point and points out the moon in lots of his books. He also loves the stars..but The Moon is his favorite... it is so cute to watch him <3

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY SWEET COOPER!

Happy 1st Birthday to Our Precious Baby Boy! I cannot believe a year has passed since we were blessed with you. I will write about your party that we had yesterday very soon as well as a couple other things but I wanted to write to you on your special day.

I feel so so blessed that God gave you to us. Another chance at raising a son, what a gift we have been given.
You have already brought so much joy into our lives in such a short period of time.Your smiling face and laughter and mischievious grins!~You've begun waving and are so cute- you shake your head noooooo and you love the moon- this warrants a whole post. You are so loving and kind and love dogs and animals... I want to take the remainder of the evening to spend with you as well as on a new "tradition" I am working on... so more later..
Happy Birthday Sweet Little One!!!

Little Yellow Chick Chick!

...Oh how Cooper loves thee! You once were a forgotten finger puppet made of a fluffy felt material that Tanner got from the Santa in the mall. There you sat..year upon year, upon year...., until one day, a boy named Cooper discovered thee. A soft yellow body a little yellow beak and red top notch.. little black eyes... he fell in love.
He carries you around with him and rubs you on the back of his head, giving you loves. He watches einstein with you, hes happy if you are in the car with him.. not just a piece of felt no more!He smiles with glee at the sight of you, his little friend. He sucks on you.. teethes on you.... holds you up for the world to see. A boy named Cooper sure loves his Little Yellow Chick Chick!

Cooper is saying 2 new words!

Tonight Cooper started saying 2 new words!Bud and But ( or Butt) So cute!!!

Tanner's in 8th Grade!

Tanner started 8th Grade today! I can hardly believe it! Big Man on campus this year!
He had a good day- His homeroom is with Mrs Johnson( who we really like). He has Math,Science,Language Arts, Social Studies,Spanish, Guitar, Economics(Stock Market)this trimester. We are extremely disapointed that the orchestra program was cut from his school. Tanner has played viola for two years and was planning a third and perhaps branching out to cello.

Football practice starts tomorrow..busy busy!
I sure love this kid!

Emily Taylor Bennington

My Sweet Neice Emily was born tonight! Sept. 5. 2010. I dont know all the details yet but it went pretty well I think. My Sissy is Good, Emily is Healthy and I am SO HAPPY and RELIEVED! I was a little worried. Jen had to be induced, and she was scared of it, and I was a little scared too! So I had my Sissy candle lit with a prayer all day and that helped ease my mind some! I have had a couple text photos of her and she is BEAUTIFUL! I am so excited to have a new addition to our family!
Congratulations Jen, Chris and Alex on Emily's arrival! What a sweet time this is!Indeed.:)

I just love this pic of them!
