The love of a family is life's greatest blessing.

We have a Crawler!!

After lots of getting stuck under the couch...


 (Cooper's famous line... "I'm stuck.  Rescue me!!")


Lots of 'guidance' from mom and dad...



A little bit of bear crawling...



And lots of practice strengthening those legs...




Izzy figured it out!!!  Our little peanut can crawl!! 





We are so excited to have Izzy on the move!!!  It's going to be one exciting summer!!!

Bring on the Sunshine!

Hanging out with the Johnstons is always a good time :)  Cooper and Hannah played together really well--each time gets more and more fun to see them interacting.  I did not a get a good photo of their dinner date, unfortunately.  They looked pretty cute chatting at the plastic picnic table!

The bounce house had to be the highlight, though!

Wahoo!
Juice break


The babies chilled in the yard. 
Just chewin'

And yesterday, we had a fun time at the park.  It was one of only a handful of times Izzy stayed awake for the whole walk so she could play!


Do you think she likes the swings???

Cooper continues to hate the slides... but he'll catch daddy!

Catching daddy again

He did NOT want his picture taken ;)
Big Girl!
So sweet!

Cooper's First Fishing Trip

Friday was the first official day of summer for our family (even though you wouldn't have guessed it with the weather!).  Jeremy and I took Cooper out on the boat for his very first time, along with the help of Uncle Adam and Chelsea.  With his new fishing pole and life jacket from Grandpa, Cooper was ready!

Of course, he had to try it all out inside the house the night before...




At first, Cooper was letting Jeremy help him.  It wasn't long before we heard, "Do myself!"
Taking a break to drive the boat.

Holding a little fish from uncle Adam.

The biggest fish of the day!


After a couple hours on the boat, there was NO helping Cooper. He was a pro.

Hopefully we get to get out in the boat again soon!  It was such a fun morning, seeing Cooper so excited.  And hearing him tell all about it even days later is pretty cute, too!!
