4th of July Weekend

For the 4th of July weekend, Mom, Dad, Grandma and I hopped in the car and drove down to Tama, Iowa for a family reunion. The ride was pretty cool, because grandma was sitting next to me and I had the DVD Player in front of me. After 4 hours in the car we made it to Tama just as the sun was setting. Soon I was in the house with a number of family members and Uncle Jarret. Before I knew it, I had to go to bed, but not before playing with Darby and Lane. I could go on and on about all the fun I had that weekend but I would be here a long time. So instead here are some pictures of us outside playing in the water. I can't wait to see everyone again!!

Cooper Finishes Hope Walks (Ok Hope Runs)

Compared to last year, it was a beautiful day to be at Normandale Lake. This was my second year participating in Hope Walks, and as you can see I had a blast. At about 10:30am, we all lined up to start off on the 1.9 mile walk around Normandale lake. Off I went and mom and dad had a hard time keeping up with me. (I guess that is what happens when you get old) The only time I took a break was to eat snacks, thanks to mama for packing all the good stuff for my big day. Many times the walk turned into a run and when I saw the finish line and all the people cheering I just had to run even though, I was a little tired (but don't tell mom and dad). Once finished we found our blanket and sat down for the outdoor worship service. However, I was bored and found the baby swimming pool filled with ice and pop to be my favorite spot to hang out. Thanks to all of you who sponsored me in my second charity walk, once again it was a great experience. Hey stay tuned, you will see my new bedroom in the next blog.
