Trunk or Treat!-Halloween Part 1

I know, I know...I am so behind on my blogging! I do have an excuse though!! As you can probably tell (if you read my blog for any amount of time) that I am an obsessive picture taker! You would be amazed how many pictures I have saved on my computer...well, it finally filled up last week and I couldn't do a thing on my computer. I have been in the process of transferring all my pics to an online service that has unlimited space...and it's taking me forever!!! I promise that I'll get caught up soon! But for now, here are our halloween cuties all dressed up for Trunk or Treat last night. Seriously, could it get any cuter! We were told several times that night that C&H took home the prize for 'best costume' and that I won 'Mommy of the Year' for making these! HaHa...I don't think so, but I do have to say they looked precious and LOVED all the candy they recieved!!

Painting Pumpkins

After dinner tonight, I let C&H paint some pumpkins! They had so much fun, but it didn't take long for them to start painting themselves also!

The finished products :)

"Thank You" and Their First Conversation

I have really been working with C&H on saying please and thank you. They do pretty good with please but they will only sign thank you as you will see Cooper doing in the video. I have been trying to get them to say thank you instead of signing....and this week Hadley finally started saying it. It just melts my heart to hear that sweet little voice saying "tank ooo"!

Also yesterday, they had their first, I guess you could say, 'real conversation' with each other. It was so cute. We were in the car on our way to Nana & Daddo's house. We have to pass Pogee's house on the way, and I heard Cooper saying "Pogee, Pogee, Pogee" when we passed by. Hadley promptly said, "no Bubba Nana" like No Bubba, we are going to Nana's not Pogee's. It just brought a huge smile to my face to hear them vocally interacting! They really are growing up before my eyes!

Cooper's First Haircut

Today was the 'much overdue' first haircut for Mr. Cooper! I am not sure why it was so hard for me to get his haircut...but it was! I mean, he has had that same hair since he was a little newborn...and secondly, BIG boys get haircuts! I just don't want my baby boy to grow up!! But it was getting too shaggy and HAD to be done! BeBe so graciously offered her haircutting abilities...thats is how she made money in college was cutting people's hair, so she did have some experience! ;) She did great and Cooper's hair looks precious! She said she always wanted a little boy so that she could cut his hair! Awe...thanks BeBe!

Random Videos!

Singing a song in the bath...

Playing with Turner Grace, Sophie, & Gus (the cat)...it was so windy, so you can barely hear her laughing at the silly cat! It was too cute!

C&H love to go 'pretend night-night' and the other likes to 'wake them up'!! When they see anyone asleep they scream to wake them up! I caught it on tape this morning! Hadley had the playroom pillow & blankie out on the screened in porch going 'night-night'!!

Neumeier Fall Festival 2010

Last Sunday after church, we went with MoMo, Josh, and Braxton to Neumeier's Fall Festival! It was well into C&H's naptime, but they did great & had so much fun!

Cooper & Braxton rode the 'horsey' as soon as we got there! They loved it!

And Hadley was more interested in the scarecrows...she didn't want anything to do with the 'horsey'!!!

Trying to get a pic of all three of them...looking in 3 different directions...at least 2 are smiling! :)

Our sweet little family!

Nana & I took C&H out there last year....crazy how much they have grown!

Perfection...

I caught this shot with my iPhone the other night while we were playing outside before bathtime. I so wish I had had my good camera with me...the sun was just perfect! And the two monkeys running through the yard just made this total perfection!

Sleeping Babies!

I can never get enough of sleeping babies, especially mine! I go in several times after they go to bed at night just to watch them sleep! Sometimes I even have to just rock them while they sleep! I just can't help it...they aren't this small forever, right?? I love how they both are snuggled up to their blankies...they LOVE those things!

An Apple a Day...

...keeps the doctor away!!!

Pumpkins!

One day Nana & I took C&H to a local church to pick up a few pumpkins (& to take a few pics!) The lady gave C&H each a mini-pumpkin to take home with them. Hadley held on to her 'baby' for dear life. If she sees anything that has a small version, such as a pumpkin, it's her baby! Cooper wanted nothing to do with his...in fact, he didn't want anything to do with any of the pumpkins or getting his picture made that afternoon.

The best I could do together...at least they are looking in the same direction, kind of!!

She was in 'pumpkin heaven'!

I think Hadley fun touching every single pumpkin there!

"Look at all these babies!!!"

Seriously, look how she is guarding that baby! This is the one and only picture that I could get her to sit with the pumpkins...I think she just set down just to shut me up...look at that face! Is the attitude already starting???

This boy just didn't want to be there that day!!

See what I mean?? All he wanted was mama!!!

Exploring...

One afternoon, we went for a little hike on some of our property behind our house! C&H loved running and exploring on their own! Cooper liked getting as far away from Hadley and I as he could...typical boy, right?? We are loving this fall weather!

and taking a little break by the pond!

22 months old!

I first off want to apologize for my lack of blogging lately! Just been in a picture taking/blog writing funk and just decided to take a little break! However, today my sweeties are 22 months old. This morning I started looking back at pictures from this time last year...man, have they grown or what?? Look at our cuties at 10 months old!

Happy 22 months Cooper & Hadley....two more months till the BIG #2!!!

Wordless Wednesday: Cool Coop
