Summer Baseball Love

Cooper loves his baseball, especially when it comes to the Flying Squirrels.

 

We are one silly family. But that's what makes it fun.

Christmas Morning

Cooper had a great Christmas.  You never know what they are going to really like at this age, but I have to say he loved his bike, the radio controlled police car, and the Nerf guns.  Surprising winners were also the snow globe and the light-up shoes.  He also was very happy to see that Santa put the star on top of the tree.





Sorry for the Mommy multi-tasking, but I was talking to my little sis who decided to give us a terrific early Christmas present.  Welcome to the world Brodie.  Cooper can't wait to meet you.

 

 

 

 

Being silly with AK and Uga.

 

And stopping for a little chocolate break.

I have to brag on my husband because I am going to finally get my wedding photos.  After procrastinating on making the final decision 10 years ago, we never ordered our wedding photos.  J tracked him down and we will soon have the negatives.  A friend has agreed to help us get them printed.  Small miracles do happen.

Hope your Christmas was as merry as ours.

Drive-in Movie Time

Thanks to M for finding out the scoop, we headed to the drive-in Friday night to see Toy Story 3.  And as usual, we pulled AK along for the ride.  The drive-in just opened this year, and they have done a great job with the place.  There is a nice kid's play area with a toddler one of to the side.  They have your typical little league type fare, hotdogs, hamburgers, snow cones, and of course, popcorn.

We got there early to get a good space, so we had lots of time for the kids to run around and eat dinner before settling in.

Believe it or not, but this actually is a view of Time Out. A parent can find one no matter where they are.

He was so excited when the picture came on, so it was hard to get a shot with him sitting still.

He did finally settle down in the back of the mini-van with the other kids.  And he even drifted off to sleep for a little while, but was wide awake for the end and most of the car ride home.

I can't believe I don't have a picture of him eating anything, because he ate anything and everything.

We had a great time, but it made for a super late night due to it not getting dark until 9 pm.  We will definitely go back again, but probably closer to fall. 

Friday Cheers

On our island downtown, Venture Richmond hosts events throughout the summer.  They kicked off the summer series with one of my favorite bands, Puddleduck.  So Cooper, AK, and I grabbed our lawn chairs and headed out.  The weather was absolutely perfect.

There were kids playing everywhere, and Cooper had a great time.  We even ran into a fellow Run Like A Mother Mom who was there with her family. 

AK's gonna shoot me for this one, but it was too cute not to post.
