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!

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!

Babies 11 Months Old!!!

Happy 11 Months to the most precious baby time ever!! We Love you Cooper! You are so amazing to watch. You are walking all over like a pro. We can tell when you are learning something you get really intent on it.. your face changes and its obvious you are really learning.You hear airplanes in the house and we run you out to look at them and you look in the sky and get excited so even when you hear one you start "talking". Tonight we watched Charlottes Web and when you later on looked at your animal book you got sooo excited when we came to the Pig picture and looked at each of us like"see I know that"! You are so smart. It is obvious. You are a special little love bug!!! I cant believe next month you are a year old! We are continously blessed and in awe of you!! Love You Baby!
