The big dirty

Labor day weekend we celebrated the reidhead family reunion with Joshs family. Its pretty amazing that there was 5 generations there. This year we didn't camp out since josh had to work everyday this weekend, but we did get to go out Saturday and Sunday night. It was nice to sit around eat good dutch oven food and enjoy each others company. Cooper loved playing in the dirt, building pretend firers, running wild, cooking marshmallows, and best of all playing with his cousins. We had a great time and can't wait til next year!

Yum! Marshmallows!

This picture explains why they call it the big dirty! Coop had a blast!

Rock'in Roll Dinosaurs

Today i had some music playing while i was cleaning
and this is what i found when i walked into Coops playroom.

Coop and his friend Christian were rock'in out!

These two boys were singing so loud and they had some really
good dance moves!

They said their band was called
Rock'in Roll Dinosaurs.

These two are trouble most of the time
but they always
give me a good laugh!

Josh and I were up stairs getting ready for church this morning. Cooper was down stairs getting chewy out of his bed to take him outside to go to the bathroom. The next thing we hear is Cooper crying for his mom screaming. So josh and i took off down stairs and this is what we found. Cooper was stuck! It was to funny!

On another note, Chewy is sick and we are hoping that's its not parvo. Cooper is having a really hard time. Coop keeps on saying, "Scobby Doo doesn't get sick." Poor puppy and poor Cooper! Chewy is going to the vet tomorrow so hopefully we can get him better.

Relaxing after a hard day of working in the yard. What could be cuter than this?

My little artist

Coopers first experience with a paint brush. I love to paint and do crafty things but i haven't let cooper paint with me until today. Coop loved it and he was so proud of his train. I think we have a little Norman Rockwell on our hands!

Say hello to

Chewy! Cooper got a puppy! I call him hairy monster! Josh has always been a dog lover and I've never been. I've always felt bad because Josh is so happy around animals. Cooper has pretty much been like me. Poor boy! So when Josh's aunt Barbara gave us a good deal on her Shihtzu puppies and josh came home with the news plus his big smile on his face it was really hard to say no. So i said if Cooper like them then we will get one. We went over to her house last night Cooper was excited but that's usually how he is before he sees the animals then when the animals are around he scared to death and won't get down. But Cooper loved them and he loves his puppy and he was going to take Chewy home no matter what. Cooper won't even let Chewy down he just carries Chewy around all day and if anyone comes to see his puppy Cooper will say, "it my puppy not yours." I'm doing pretty good too. Its so small so that makes it easy to be around and I've even had the courage to hold Chewy. The smiles on both my boys faces are worth having Chewy around. Wish me luck!

Boohoo

Misti and Stratton left today to go back to Colorado. We had so much fun with them this past 3 weeks. It was fun having my sister around to do all the girlie things! Cooper wants them to come back. On the drive coming home after saying good-bye to them Cooper said, "are they to big to play with me? So they had to go home?" Poor little boy he loves Mistit and Stratton. Misit and Stratton we love you! Boohoo we will miss you guys!
