Growing and Playing

Ryleigh is 6 weeks old and growing like a weed. She has started to cooo this past week. It is so sweet to hear. Her head control gets better and better everyday. She is a very strong girl. We started giving her a bottle before bed so that she can get use to it since I will be going back to work soon. She never likes to be put down and will let you know it. I am pretty sure she is going to be just as head strong as Cooper is. Here is a new picture of her.



Today my mom had the day off so we had planned a day out with the kiddos. We went to the dallas science museum. It has a childrens area and has stations for kids to do things and learn all at the same time. Cooper had a lot of fun and we will for sure go back. We got there when it opened and then we took a break and went and at lunch with aunt sara at baylor. then we were heading back to the museum and well did not get to go back because the little boy was ready for a nap and so he fell asleep so we called it a day.






This video is of Cooper playing golf. He is a good little athlete. He has a pretty good swing. Ask my leg since it got hit by one of his plastic golf balls and left a bruise. He is also getting better and better with is baseball skills. He can hit the ball with it being pitched at him. And well lets just say he has an arm for a 2 year old.


Other things that have gone on the past couple of weeks. We have had playdates with our friends Zach, Ashton, and then with Addison, and then with Luke. We love getting together with them and playing. Then this past weekend Trey had the big V done. Ya that is right we are officially done having kids. It is sad when I think that I will never have another little baby but also a relief all at the same time. She my mom and sara took Cooper to help me out for the day and headed to ft worth to the stockyards. they rode on the train and got to ride in the engine car. and then got to go to the petting zoo and feed the animals. my mom said he had a great time. i will have to post some pics of that day later.

Well that is it for now.

Choo Choo

While Trey was on paternity leave Cooper and him went to see the trains at the museum. Cooper loves trains and planes so he had a really good time. He talked about the choo choos for weeks.

Happy 4th

Happy 4th of July. We had a great 4th this year. We loaded up and headed down to Trey's parents house in Georgetown to celebrate with his family. It was Ryleigh's first road trip and she did great. She slept the whole way. We had plans to swim alot with Cooper and Trey wanted to play golf with him. Well for the first 2 days we were there all it did was rain. So no swimming and no golf and one upset little boy since he could not go outside. Thankfully on Saturday the 3rd it cleared up enough for him to do both. He had such a good time. Then Sunday all the family came over and we hung out and swam and played more golf. Cooper had a blast with his cousin Matt and his girlfriend Nina. He was so funny with Nina, he kept flirting with her. We gave Matt a hard time that Cooper was taking his woman. That night we tried to do some fireworks with Cooper and he just cried and ran inside. He wanted nothing to do with them. Then Sunday night Cooper got sick with some sinus issues and we all had a bad bad night of sleep. Then Monday night we headed home and stopped at Mimi's to get the dogs and have dinner. It was a good holiday weekend.
