Another MDO

Cooper started another year of mothers day out. He has been asking about going all summer. When I dropped him off he was a little hesitant, but then saw all the kids playing and went right on in. Here is a picture of him on his first day and of course then Ryleigh wanted a picture too. she sees the camera and says cheeeeeese real loud.

sea world 2011

We got to take a trip down to sea world for a little get away. Trey was in chicago so the kids and i went with my mom, alicia, and my aunt. We all had a great time. The first day at the park we went to all of the shows and rode some of the rides. It was hot but not to bad, and there was no crowd which was such a plus. Here are some pictures of our trip.


Cooper rode this roller coaster with everyone. He loved it.


We got to go eat lunch with shamu and the other whales. The food was really good and getting to be that close to the whales was a neat experience

Ryleigh was so excited at the shows. she would point and talk away about the animals and then she would clap. it was fun to watch her excitment

This is the ride Cooper wanted to ride and he did twice. i was shocked




The next day at the park we headed to go feed the dolphins. we all liked doing this

14 months

Here is a picture of Ryleigh when she was 14 months old. She has developed such a little personality and a little bit of an attitude/divatude to go with it. haha. She talks all the time. most of the time you can not understand it but she does say quit a bit of words. she likes to play peek a boo and blow kisses. she also loves to climb on everything and we have the bruises to prove it. she is still my good little eater, never turning down a meal. she finally gave up the bottles about a month ago but she is still a thumb sucker. i wish she would stop growing up so fast.

Who needs a maid?

When I start cleaning the house the kids always want to help. I usually just give them a wet rag and they go around with that. Today Cooper wanted to vacuum the rug so I let him and I went and got the sweeper to do the wood and Ryleigh wanted that so I kicked back and watched them do my hard work. ha ha. Hopefully they will always want to do stuff like this haha.

Tigers, Elephants, and Clowns

Another trip to the circus. This year we went with meme and my aunt. Every year Cooper gets more into it. Ryleigh was still not quit ready for the circus. Maybe next year.

Daddys helper

Every time Trey goes out to mow the yard Cooper always wants to go out and mow too. This is what it looks like when they do the yard together. Cooper follows behind him with his bubble mower. So sweet

on a safari

last week we met up with our friends Melissa and her daughter Addison for some fun at the safari. It was a neat place. The kids loved the train rides and the playgrounds. Even Ryleigh enjoyed herself.

One fish Two fish

The kids, my mom and I went to the aquarium at fair park one day since she had the day off. It was a small aquarium but the kids liked it and they could walk around with out being in the stroller. Then at the end of the visit we went outside and got to touch the sting rays. They were so friendly, you can tell they get feed a lot. Ryleigh was all about touching them, Cooper on the other hand would not do it. I was suprised I thought he would be all about it. Oh well maybe next time.

Tubing

Thanks to Trey's parents we have got to enjoy some boating this summer. They are letting us use their boat for a little while and we have really been enjoying going out on it. Cooper loves to to and drive the boat around and then we got him out on the tube and he loves it. Ryleigh on the other hand does not like it to much. Really cant blame her, she is stuck on the boat in a big life jacket that she can hardly walk in and it is hot. She is a trooper and hangs in there for a little while. Just goes to show that us buying a boat will need to wait another year or so so that she can have fun too.

Boom Boom

So that we could see some fireworks for the 4th of july we went to allen 4th celebration. We always have a great time and they do an awesome show.
