Cooper's Singing Debut

The other day, I was sitting on the couch with baby Elia singing to her and dad pulled out the camera. Enjoy my rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

OMG! APPLE HEAVEN

If anyone knows me, they know that I love apples. I could eat 3 or 4 apples a day if my mom and dad would let me. In fact I love it when I open the refrigerator door, the apples are at a place where I can get them without any help. When I was little, mom and dad would have to cut them up, now I can eat them all by myself.

A couple of weeks ago, mom and dad said that we were going to take a little trip to the orchard. I didn't know what an orchard was, but I got ready, mom and dad got Elia ready and off we went. We drove to Minnesota Harvest in Jordan, and we were not the only ones who decided to go to the orchard that day it was really busy there.

Once at the orchard, we went to look at the horses, boy they are a lot bigger than on TV. We then went to stand in line to take a wagon ride. The wagon took us back by all kinds of trees. Guess what was on the trees? APPLES!!! We got off the wagon and started walking down the rows of apple trees. Then dad started taking apples off the trees and put them in a bag. Dad told me I could go take apples also, so off I went to find a tree with apples I could reach. I found a lot of apples to pick. Then, dad said I could eat an apple. I looked at him and I didn't believe him. Finally, I took a bite, then another and another and soon my apple was gone. Then guess what? Dad said, I could have another apple. Soon the wagon came returned and we had to head back to the orchard store to buy the big bag of apples we had picked.

We finally left the orchard and mom and dad said we were going to go find pumpkins. Here are some pictures of my day picking apples and pumpkins.

Love to all,
Cooper

Thanks Friend!!!

A Couple of weeks ago a friend of my dad's came over to take pictures of baby Elia. Ben Dodds is the Area Director for Young Life, but he is also an awesome photographer. He did a great job of taking pictures of Elia. Here is his website, if you are looking at getting any pictures taken, my dad would highly recommend him and so would I.
