Halloween was fun this year the boys got to be two different things. Ryder was a dinosaur for a couple parties and Lloyd from dumb and dumber for actual trick or treating! Him and his cousin Tripp thought they were pretty funny in their costumes! Kage got to be a monkey for some parties and a shark for Halloween. Cutest monkey and shark I have ever seen.... I could never get a good picture of Tripp Kyra and Ryder together on Halloween.
Ryder started pre school this year! Cant believe he is already big enough to go to school. He loved it.... His school was called Mary's little lambs. He not only got to go to school but he got to go on lots of fun field trips. His very first field trip was to a farm. He got to see lambs cows and horses. We went on a hay ride and he got to pick out a pumpkin.
We decided we should get family pictures taken since we have a new addition. They turned out so cute! Thanks to Amanda Gibbs.... The boys behaved for the most part, and Ryder even got to draw on the wall with some side walk chalk.
We had lots of fun this summer! Nama was in town most of the summer so we got lots of cousin time... Ryders favorite thing to do is play with his cousins. We got lots of pool time, watched fireworks and even washed our bikes! So sad that summer is almost over.
Ryder turned 3 this year! Hard to believe he is so big already.... I had a super fun party planned for him at the splash pad in Riverdale. This would be his last birthday being the only child. However Kage had other plans. We had to post pone his birthday since Kage decided to come early! Thanks goodness most of his friends were able to still come! We had lots of fun and Ryder got a big boy bike. Exactly what he had been asking for!
We had to bless Kage a little sooner then normal because poppa Randy was in town! I forgot to take the camera to church so i didn't get a picture of all the family that was there :(
Kage Russell Cooper was born June 18 at 4:52 am weighing 7lbs 12oz and 21 inches long! He was two weeks early and a healthy happy boy. Ryder was a little unsure of him at first, but baby Kage brought him a cool dragon that made any doubts go away! Ryder is loving being a big brother most days and cant wait till kage is big enough to wrestle.
