Cousins...Cousins...Cousins...

You can probably tell by my "random" posts, but in case you cannot, I'm working on pictures this week / playing catch up from Cooper's arrival.

Cooper's cousins all came to visit the Saturday after he was born. It was a beautiful day so the kids really wanted to just play outside, but they were sure to give Cooper some hugs and kisses as they passed through.

Cooper, Jake, Reid, and Aunt Paula...

Reid and Cooper...

Ashton and Jake...obviously my brothers deprived their children of a motorized toy so when they are at our house, they are all about Anna Lauren's "pink" jeep. Yes, even Reid who is almost 13 years old!

Looks as if Ashton and Bently are a little scared of Anna Lauren's driving...however, she seems to think she is in control and having fun!

Bently wanted to hold Cooper...so sweet!

The monkey, Ashton...he loves climbing trees!

See...I told you...even the 12 year old likes the jeep! He would say he was just taking Bently for a ride because she cannot drive, but I'm telling you the truth...he likes the jeep too!

And after a day full of fun, Nanna crashed with two kiddos in her lap!

The following week, Ashton was on fall break so his Daddy brought him by for a quick visit...love, love, love this picture!

Fall Photo Shoot...

Cooper was scheduled to arrive on October 14th and when sweet Jennifer asked us if we wanted to participate in a "mini" photo shoot on October 2nd, I immediately said YES! I mean who turns down the opportunity to have your child stand in front of Jennifer with her camera...not me! So even though Cooper came early and was only 4 days old, we headed out for the photo shoot and came away with some precious pictures as we always do when Jennifer is the one taking the pictures!

And yes, I realize I am posting these pictures a month late, but I must post them so they can be in my 2010 book. And you know you want to look at them...you don't care if they are a month late, do you?

Bently's 2nd Birthday...

Yesterday we celebrated Bently's 2nd birthday "Halloween" style...the kids dressed in their costumes, painted pumpkins, and ended the celebration with the traditional trick or treating. However, it was not all "traditional"...there were many pink and silver pumpkins in honor of sweet Bently's big day!
