Cooper This Summer

This summer has been an eventful one. We spent the first part of the summer waiting for Paisley to make her arrival. Because I had contractions for a L O N G time before she actually came, we were in limbo for a while. Here are some pictures of Cooper during this summer.


Lance and Grandpa Cobb took Cooper down to the train that is at a park here in town. They run every other weekend. Cooper LOVED it! He still asks to look at the pictures.




Cooper is a BIG fan of trains. Here he is playing with his in the living room and showing Paisley how they work.
We went camping in Priest lake a couple of weeks ago. We had fun but it was an adventure. We did not have good weather at all. It rained a TON! Camping with a 2 1/2 year old and a 3 week old will not be recommended to anyone by the Young family!
Here Lance and Cooper got ready to swim in the COLD lake in between rain storms! Cooper really did not like the cold water!




In between rain storms, Cooper got to ride in Grandpa Young's "fast boat". He is still talking about it!


While I was folding laundry the other day, Cooper got my lotion bottle and put it in his hair like shampoo and on his face like war paint. The little stinker! At least he smelled good!

Earlier in the summer, Lance took a class that had a fitness component to it. He took Cooper on his outings and took pictures with the newspaper as proof he did it. I thought some of them came out too cute to not share.


We did manage to make it up to Smallwoods Farm and Petting Zoo a couple times this summer.





Lance and Cooper's hike up Saddlerock. Watch out world, this kid can GO!











Lance re-did our deck this summer. Our old deck was a sliver nightmare for Cooper. He was able to put composite decking in and we like it MUCH better. Cooper was a great helper! I'm sure Lance would have been done in half the time without him, but they had a great time!
A couple of days after Paisley was born, we went to the park to get Cooper out of the house. Cooper got to eat his first ice cream cone all by himself.




Here is a cute picture of Cooper with his cousins Raife and Remi playing in the "kid" cupboard in Grandma Young's kitchen.

We had the pleasure of having a visit from Grandpa Rizor (my dad) yesterday. Cooper informed me that this was "Grandpa Bill" when he was looking at the pictures. Too cute!
