Coop's first time to a Corn Maze!

This past weekend we went to a Corn Maze/Pumpkin Patch with our Sunday School class.  We had a great time.  We went on a hayride, played in a pumpkin patch, and went through the corn maze.  Coop didn't get to pick out a pumpkin yet.  We are going to go to a pumpkin patch soon so he can pick out his very own pumpkin!  Here are a few pictures of our little adventure to Shuckle's Corn Maze.

Not quite sure what to do here...

Going into the tunnel that leads to the maze!

Ten years!!

Ten years ago today, Brett and I went on our first date!  We went to a movie and then his best friends house after.  Crazy to think of all that we have been through.  We have a beautiful baby boy, a lovely home, and a strong marriage that is going on 3 years.  We are very blessed for sure.  I love my boys.  =)

Cinci 2011

This past weekend we went on our annual Labor Day weekend Cincinnati softball trip.  We had a great time with our friends and family.  Brett plays on our church softball team with his brother (usually his dad too, but he was on the other team this year) and the team goes to Cinci for the Annual Nazarene Tournament.  It's such a great weekend to spend time with family and our friends. 

We went up Friday afternoon and got to the hotel around 9:00.  Cooper had one of his awesome screamfests that night.  Around 3 am I drove him around to get him to sleep.  It worked until we walked back in the room.  Around 5 am Brett and I gave up and decided to go and get up and go get some sunscreen before the 9:00 game.  Of course our son conked out big time.  We looked like TERRIBLE parents dragging our son around a store at 5:30am.  He was out!  We went back to the hotel and he of course woke up when we walked back in the room.  He is a booger!  =)  Brett left us to go play some softball.  The guys played great all day and won 3 out of 4 games.  Between the 100 degree day and no sleep from the night before, Coop behaved pretty well.  He napped off and on in the car between games.  

Sunday, Brett stayed at the hotel to rest his knee from an injury the night before.  Cooper and I spent the day with Kim, Randy, Claire and their friends, John and Denise.  We went to IKEA and did a little shopping, love that place.  We ended the day by going out to dinner with some of the team and family for Jon's birthday dinner.  Cooper slept great that night!

Monday, Labor Day, we woke up to rainy, cold weather.  Brett's team won 3 out 4 games that day.  They ended up 4th place out of 65 teams.  They did great!!  We headed back home that afternoon.  We had a great time and look forward to the trip every year!

I am posting some pictures from the trip!  Enjoy!

Coop with all the other little fans!

He can walk!

So last week Cooper started taking a few steps and did so for a few days.  Tuesday night he decided that he was ready to walk.  He has been walking since he realized that he can do it.  =)  I'll upload a video of it next week when we get back from our trip.  We are headed to Cincinnati, Ohio on Friday for our annual softball tournament trip.  We always have a great time going with Brett's side of the family and our friends from church.  Unfortunately for this mama, Coop has learned to walk just in time for the trip.  Awesome.  Looks like I will be spending my time at the ballpark chasing around a little toddler!  Haha

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend and I will post the walking video and some pictures of our trip next week!
