Um, Sure
A few weeks back we had a case of the grunts. That is when you ask Cooper a question he just makes a noise instead of saying yes or no. We have been working hard and had great success now hearing a yes or no for our questions. The way he says “yes” is adorable. Today…

Slumber Party
Cooper and Nicholas have been very excited to have super friend time these past couple of days. Madeleine’s little brother has been sending mixed signals on when exactly he wants to arrive. Above the kids were practicing for their upcoming slumber party. One day these crazy kids could have a slumber party on the floor together, but for…

Good Morning

Adventures of a Tomato
Cooper loves helping in the garden. Two of his favorite activities are digging in the dirt and watering. I have great intentions to use everything we plant, but again this year the lettuce and peas didn’t get picked. The berries were managed much better by Cooper. He has done a great job of tracking when the tomatoes…

Happy Anniversary
We celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary today with a Caspar Babypants concert at Juanita beach. Rob couldn’t believe how packed it was. Cooper couldn’t believe Caspar wasn’t taking requests and insisted on yelling “yellow submarine” between songs. Another highlight of Tuesday, in addition to our PEPS meetings, is when Jan comes to clean. Cooper races…

Headed Home
Cooper loved checking out all of the fancy airplanes on the walk to our plane. One final picture before we get strapped in for the flight home. On our way out of Jackson we flew over Rob’s parent’s cabin. It is about 1/3 of the way up the hill in the center with the sharp…

Schwabacher’s Landing
We tried to hike Schwabacher Landing last year, but the road was closed. This year they reopened the trail and it did not disappoint. Along the flat trail you could see many trees that had been taken down by the beavers and see their dams in the river. Cooper is catching the shutter bug that…

Tomatoes and Football
Cooper was obsessed with Pop-pop’s tomatoes. We told him he couldn’t touch them until they turned red, so he pulled up a chair to watch them. He checked on these tomatoes many times a day and would pull up a big chair next to him so any willing adult could watch the tomatoes too. It…

String Lake and Birthday Celebrations
This tow truck and car are the only two toys we brought with us for Cooper. He played with them for hours in the window sill and loved it when Nana would hook the car up for a tow. Cooper loved to chat it up with Pop-pop in the kitchen. Pop-pop made Cooper and the…

Dogs and Town
Nicholas was welcomed to Jackson with morning sniffs from Gracie. Cooper loved to pet Louie. He would call Louie by his name, but insisted on calling Gracie “Doggie, no barking.” We followed the yummy Pop-pop breakfast with a trip to town for some tourist time. Nicholas loved walking around town with Daddy, similar to how Cooper did 2…
