Up in the sky...is it a bird, a plane.. No it's Super Cooper

So I found the perfect Halloween Costume for my little dare devil. So on Friday Cooper tried it on and ran around the house for a while. I think it was a hit.

Super Hero's apparently like to get in some good reading time in between saving people.

Perfect mode of trasnportations... the Train

Celebrating 6 years

Honestly, on your 6th Wedding Anniversary doesn't everyone get to go to Chucke Cheese for greasy pizza??

We went to Minneapolis with some friends of ours and we stopped in Fargo for their girls. We had a great time and I have to say I did get to play gitar hero for the first time ever and I'm not that good!

Chucke Cheese!

On our way to the Twin cities we made a stop in Fargo so that Corey and Denise's twins could go to Chucke Cheese as one of their upcoming 6th birthday presents. Cooper seemed to have a great time, except when a little girl kept trying to pick up Cooper everytime I set him down.

Here he is dancing on stage, I'm not sure if your suposed to but oh well!

Cooper and Chucke


Having a blast riding on one of the few toys they had for little kids.


The best ride of all, getting to ride in a car with Chucke! What a serious driver

The kids at the pool

Garret got to sneak in a little pool time after getting back from the Vikings game.

Cooper and Denise playing near one of the water buckets that fill up with water and then dump all over who ever is underneath.

more Minneapolis pictures.

Corey and John after getting back from taking Corey's son Garret to his very first Vikings Football game, he must be a good luck charm because they won.

It looks like these two might still be celebrating!

my two guys

what a bum.

Daddy's Dream Job

On our drive back from Minneapolis we got to see some linemen working on a new Trasmission line. The best part is that they were being dropped off on the structures by a helicopter. John said given the chance he'd like to do it, but he settled for just driving by today.

Here is a picture of the workers strapped to a ladder, 100 feet in the air.

Here is the helicopter bringing more guys, I tried to get that picture but going 70mph on the interstate made for a big challenge.

This is the best picture of the men at work.

Here they are having equipment lowered down to them by the helicopter

Papa's Pumpkin Patch

This weekend we took Cooper and his cousin Jaxson to "Papa's Pumpkin Patch" Too bad it was cold and wet so we couldn't stay longer for the boys to really have fun playing.

Here are the boys running around a big wooded pumpkin that Grandma Mel was hiding behind.

What a great slide, Jaxson had a great time running around the top half before going down.

Weekend visitors

This weekend we had a few visitors. Grandpa George, Grandma Mel, Aunt Becky and Cousin Jaxson came to see us. Cooper and Jaxson had a great time playing together all weekend.

And who can forget about the toy train the grandpa and grandma gave Cooper. Grandma found away for both of the boys to ride at the same time!
Thanks for coming to visit, we can't wait to see everybody in a few months.
love you, John, Melissa and Cooper

Little Helper!

John replaced out kitchen faucet tonight and had quite a helper. Cooper had fun climbing on daddy and stealing his tools.

Here I'll show you how to do it!

What a nut.
