The Bird....

So here is my old bird that turned on me once I started dating Drew.

For the last 5 years it has continuously tried to kill me. Really my dad is the only one who can hold it without the risk of loosing an appendage. This bird can fly real well and if he locates me, he will dive bomb me and start attacking. So I spent this session hiding behind the kitchen island praying.

Brave, brave Cooper.

Papa's Chair!

Cooper loves to sit in "Papa's chair". Papa reads him or shows him the Encyclopedia of animals. He loves it. It is so funny watching him trying to carry that book around!

Ok, I guess I should go private. One less thing for me to worry about!
Please leave me your email addresses!

Get Together?????

So I know all you AZ gals just had a get together recently but, I WASNT THERE! I totally missed out. I will be in town for the next few weeks...Can we please do it again??? Like a mommy/kiddo/Lauren reunion?? I havent seen everyone for 2 or more years, so let me know who is volunteering their house and all the good stuff! Ha, Ha, but I am serious actually. :) And, Trina I need your phone number.

Sunday

So I fear I will never get a good picture of Cooper again. Well I really never have, but now he smiles so GOOFY! I try periodically to take his picture in his sunday clothes, because he looks so handsom, but they never turn out. BECAUSE, he gets up at 6:00 or 6:30am and by the time church rolls around at 10:00 he is ready for a nap! (refer to pic #3 :)

chums

Last Sunday (conference) we had the Finnestads over for breakfast. This is their cute little girl Reece and boy Breaden and Cooper. What a group!

Aquarium trip

So, we drove to Tulsa today to see the aquarium. It is about an hour and a half drive, and Drew is a car singer. The fourth picture down is literally how Cooper sat through the Andrea Bocelli cd. I actually turned it off after the first three songs. There is only so much one can take of Drew's "opera" voice.
The Aquarium was neat. Cooper really like to see all the fish. He is so busy and wiggly that I never really think he hears a word we say or learns a thing, but by the end of the trip Cooper was naming all the fish and other sea life in the gift shop! We were pleasantly AMAZED.
The weird trutles are turtles that are native to Okalhoma! They are 250 pounds, and look like Aligators or dinosaurs...something weird. I cant remember what they are called. Aligator turtles. The pictures are bad and I am sure no one cares, but trust me they were impressive. OOO, and they had a shark tank tunnel. THAT was creepy. Oh and we normaly dont go trapsing around in matching uniforms but today was the OU Texas game....and we WON. Because of our school spirit I am sure.
