Random Pics of our beautiful Babies

Just some random pictures of Grace and Cooper since Ed has been deployed. They are from the zoo, Atl baseball game, park, last day of school and a picnic. 
'Daddy' even went to the Ballgame:)

T-Ball

Grace played T-ball this spring. It was her first year to play. And I think she was awesome. She was so cute in her pink helmet. She played 2nd base (mostly), sometimes shortstop. I love watching her learn new things and her expressions when she "gets it".
Is she cute or what!?! I just love her!
A little dance while she was waiting to run:)


She was pretty good at hitting!

Updates

I am trying to update our blog. Mainly for Ed, but also for anyone else that enjoys seeing the kids and what we've been up to. I am well aware that I am behind a few months, but hey, I think I have a good excuse. Enjoy!

Summer Trip: North Carolina June 26-July 6

We went home to NC for a few days. We spent time with family and friends. It was a great break from Fort Campbell. We went out on the lake with everyone. Went to Carowinds. Grace was so proud, because she was 'just' tall enought to ride ThunderRoad. It's a very big roller coaster that she was really wanting to ride. She ended up riding it 4 or 5 times! Cooper had his first birthday party at Ben and Kristin's. And we went back to the mountains with Ben, Kristin and the kids. We had a birthday dinner for Cooper with Caitlin, Linda and David. I love going home, but I also L*O*V*E my bed!!!:)

Cooper's 1st Year

I can't believe it has been a year since I watched my baby boy take his first breath. Now I am waiting and watching for him to take his first steps. He loves to swing and play in the water. He babbles all the time and likes to sing Itsy Bitsy spider. He has changed so much in the past year. Now when I see newborn babies, I am amazed that Cooper was ever that small. Everyone we meet tells me "he is such a happy baby". I hope that means I'm doing something right. He is my happy, smiling boy (most the time). He wakes up smiling and laughing. And at night when I rock him and read him a book he laughs and smiles. 
Just a few minutes old.
