Halloween

To get in the spirit of all things Halloween Chris and I took Cooper to Fox Hollow Family Farm. It is a little pricey, but well worth it in my opinion. I would LOVE to live here. As long as all the work it takes to maintain it did not fall entirely on my shoulders. This place is simply adorable.

The house behind Chris is their family home. There is a creek running behind it.








In the middle of the chairs behind Cooper, they have fire pits. I didn't manage to get a photo, but we drank hot apple cider and sat by the fire. You could roast mallows too. 



Nana made Cooper's costume. Isn't it the cutest!?


He wore it to the PEPS Halloween party. These are the only pictures I manages to get. Cooper had an epic meltdown...


The only three survivors who could tolerate their costumes. 


Cooper was really sick on Halloween. We almost canceled trick or treating all together but my neighbor friends talked me into it.


Cooper only went to two doors. He mostly just watched the big kids from the comfort of the wagon.







He was not so willing to share his ride. We are still working on sharing.


Our neighbors are awesome. This family has three kids. One managed to make it to about 8 houses before someone realized she did not have shoes on. Classic.

And the little kid neighbors.



The many faces of our lion cub.





The tail kills me!






I love our sweet little lion. He did great, even though he was not feeling 100%. 


Walking!

Cooper has been taking steps since right around 11 months. He cruised around with his walker toys for months. But for whatever reason he just did not have the courage to WALK. That all changed a few weeks ago.

He still crawls when he really wants to get somewhere in a hurry. And he hasn't quite figured out how to get from the ground to standing without climbing up something- usually the legs of his parents.

Spokane Trip

Cooper and I snuck over the mountains before the snow came. We wanted to visit family and especially hang out with Kole! He is growing up so fast!

Cooper's obsession with dogs continues.


We snuck in a quick trip to the Snyder's. It was early in the morning, and yes, Cooper is still in his PJs.


These two = ENERGY!  



Visiting Nana and PopPop. I did not manage to get a picture with Nana. 


Think Grandma Mel was happy? 


Kole is such a good baby! I loved spending time with him. I wish I could see him more often! 



We tried taking the boys to Green Bluff, but it just was not working. The photo shoot at home did not go very well either...



Nailed it.


Kole loved watching Cooper get into EVERYTHING.


Enjoying the Halloween cookie from Nana and PopPop. 


We had a great trip, but we both missed Dada. Yep. He head-butts. I am pretty sure it is a sign of affection. 


PEPS 1st Birthday Party!

With our PEPS group we decided to celebrate all the babies first birthdays together.

It is fun to think back to the time when we first met. So much has changed...

Look at our babies now! 


We had their party at the Seattle Children's Museum.


We had cupcakes. 



Presents. 


Fun! 




It was a wonderful day celebrating with my boy and his buddies.
