Both Faith & Cooper are not feeling so well today. Faith woke up screaming half way through her nap with an ear ache, and Copper has had a fever for the last 2 days and has a yucky cough and snotty nose. Sounds like fun huh? After dinner we rode bikes trying to keep every body happy. It worked for a while but the fun wore off fast.

Well this is what Quin & Grace look like after a long day of

swimming. They are trying to go swimming as much as they

can because the pool will be closing in a week or two. School

will be starting in 20 days. Yikes that is crazy!!! I can't believe

that summer is going to be over soon, it seems like just

yesterday we were waiting for it to finally warm up. Oh

and by the way Gracie finally lost her first tooth. She is so

proud

So today I was trying to make my bed and it seems that

when ever I try I always have a little helper (or two).

I am glad she is so willing to help.

Photo Shoot #101

Quincey & Gracie's cousin Analise is staying with us for a couple of days. We decided to go on a photo adventure today so I could get some more practice. The girls cooperated sooo good. (Who says bribery doesn't work!) As you can see the photographer(me) is still learning and I am excited to keep on learning. I am having so much FUN with this photo thing. Definitely a new hobby.

This last weekend was the big 24th of July Celebration.

This is what Cooper & I did during the parade. We found

a nice shady spot and just hung out, while the girls were on

the street collecting as much candy as they could. As you

can see Cooper is all boy, he has to check out every

crack and crevice. I love this boy like

CRAZY!!!

24th of July

For the 24th of July we went to a place called Harris Pond

with my family. It is a large irrigation pond that has a

water slide, a zip line, canoes, a swing, an enormous slip & slide,

a trapeze bar, a water fountain, and a bridge. The older kids had

a blast, but as you can see the babies didn't have quite as much

fun. We took a lot of walks trying to keep their minds

off of the water.

I scream U scream We all scream for

ICE CREAM!!!

Oh-how Cooper loves ICE CREAM.

During swimming lessons we would stop next

door and get all the cousins an ICE CREAM.

Cooper would always SCREAM for his ICE CREAM.

He didn't seem to care that it was cold all over his

face and body. He could polish his off before

the older kids, cone and all. I really liked how this

picture captured his two cute bottom teeth and his baby

tooth buds coming in on the top.

I have been learning some new photo tricks, so I have

been practicing today. I think I have found a new addiction!!

I know this picture is pretty fuzzy, but we

all know that practice makes perfect.

Tell me what do you think? (Thanks Amy)

I just remembered that I made this page and never blogged it.

My little Quincey is growing up fast.

The lighting in this picture isn't the greatest but Quincey

looks really pretty in it.
