SUMMER FUN!

Summer Lovin'! I told you...Riley is his girlfriend!

KIDS & VITAMINS DON'T MIX!

Paul and I were so excited because we thought, "OMG Coopie ate his vitamin and no fussin'! Hallelujah!"

...And for the record, we did give him a plate, but he decided to dump the food onto his tray.

Paul and I had a revelation ... Coop is not good at taking his vitamins ... he is good at hiding them. Can you find the orange gummy vitamin in this picture? LOL!

BREAK IT DOWN COOPER!!!!

"Do the Ice Cream Freeze; strike a pose. When you do the Milkshake, shake shake it down low. Do the Snowcone Slide; left to right. Put your hands in the air; we can party all night!"

JUST PLAYIN' AROUND

Sweet Coopy-poo!
Gia and Popeye, in case you are wondering what the heck he is sitting on...that is the learning table that you bought him for Christmas....he is learning a lot huh! He pushes it all around the kitchen and lifts it in the air, drops it down and flips it over. Sheeeeesh! It really wears me out just watchin'.

Ride 'em Cowboy!

Barrel rolls!

Peek-a-boo! I see you!

FATHER'S DAY BBQ AT DAYCARE

Paul and I went to eat lunch with Coop to celebrate Father's Day with some BBQ. Keep in mind that most of the food was mooshed up for babies and kiddos, but nonetheless, we loved our lunch date! Coop on the other hand, screamed and cried the entire time b/c he was soooooo tired. He didn't want the food on his plate...he wanted the food on ours. HMMMMM....I wonder who he gets that from? If you ask Nana, she will tell you that when she saw me eat the food off of Daddy's plate for the 1st time, instead of my own, that that was the point at which she new that I was "the one" for daddy.

PAUL HIKES HALF DOME

Paul was brave enough to take on Half Dome at Yosemite National Park. The hikes was 14 miles and at least half of it was an uphill hike. EWWWWW! Count me out! I would not have been able to walk for a week if I had gone. Anyhow, Paul went with our good friends from TAFB, Ashley DiPrisco and Joe Caruso. As you can see, the spouses are missing...Katie and I knew that we would not be able to hang with these guys, so we opted out, but Mike (Ashley's hubby) was going to go but his AF trip that he was on got delayed and he could not get back in time. Next time Mike...next time. Ooooor maybe not. After the hike, Paul said that the hieghts, the rain and the hail ... that was plenty. Just to give you an idea of how dangerous it was, 2 hours after Paul got off the mountain a man actually died. He slipped off the mountain and fell at least 100 feet, but reports say it could have been as much as 400 feet.

Joe and Paul just strolling along!

Joe, Ash and Paul posing!

Absolutely beautiful!

Breath-taking!

Paul brought along a picture of Coop and I on a stick! So technically, we hiked it too, minus the blood sweat and tears!! LOL!
(Those ants in the background are the other people climbing up. I'm skerd!)

awwww THE GANG! Those outdoorsy fools! I am so opposite...I don't even like dirt!

HIKING PENA ADOBE

While Paul was hiking Half Dome, Cooper and I decided to meet up with Lauren and Riley (Coop's girlfriend) and go for a hike at Pena Adobe. Our hike was much harder than little ol' Half Dome...haha...NOT! I have to say that it was an absolutley beautiful day and I was hoping to get some sun, but nope...I am still white! Coop definately has Paul's skintone, b/c he is golden. I am so jealous. Girls should be the one to have skin like that ... we need it ... it covers cellulite! LOL!

Awwww. THE LOVEBIRDS.

I LOVE NEW TOYS!

Weeeeeeee! Coop loves the new toy that Nana gave him. She was trying to help us solve the problem of him climbing on the tables and pretty much everything in the house. Works like a charm!

This is the funnest toy eveeeeeer!

No one else is allowed in my house! Hence, MY house!...not even you Sarge!

Oh, is daddy still sleeping? Well, let me scream, "DaDa," as loud as I possible can, from the top of my house. I know he can hear me, so I will keep doing it no matter how many times mommy says, "shhhhhh, daddy is trying to sleep." If I ain't sleepin'...no one is!
