sometimes there just aren't any words!

Going to see Elmo

One of Cooper's Christmas presents was getting to go see Elmo and Friends with his cousin Taylor. They both seemed to have a great time

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, first thing Christmas morning Cooper and I checked out the plate of goodies that we had left for Santa and his reindeer. Cooper was so excited to see what was left!

 Let the opening of gifts begin

 One of the hits for Cooper on Christmas morning was a bike and helmet(not pictured oops) that Grandpa George and Greandma NeeNee gave to him.

 Conner and Hunter opened this neat activity cube.

 Conner seemed way more interested in his puppydog than in opening gifts

 Hunter just checking everything out

Picture time

This last weekend we went and had some updated pictures taken for Christmas cards and to have current pictures of the boys. Cooper really tried to help hold Conner and Hunter but when the babies are almost as big as you are it is kind of a hard challenge. So, that is why Conner looks like he is in a headlock and Hunter looks like he is being tipped over!

 

 However I do have to say that the new picture of the five of us turned out really well. All three of the boys are somewhat looking at the camera and there weren't any tears. (recently Cooper has decided that he no longer likes having his picture taken!) I think overall we clean up pretty good, and Conner was a treat giving us that famous "Grandpa George" smile (love you dad!).

lounging around

Conner is our evening cat napper. Who after he has his cereal really enjoys taking five. Well it seems he can fall aleep almost anywhere from this picture!

Cooper really concentrating on something

 I see the same concentration from Hunter. Since he has started to wear his helmet to correct a flat spot he really doesn't seem to mind it. He is only supposed to have it off for a short period of time throughout the whole day. And besided that it starts to stink a little at the end of the day since he sweats like his dad it seems to really  be working.

 smile?

 Yesterday morning I put the twins in thier rival collage outfits! The MSU onzie is from Uncle Clint and Aunt Laurel who gave it to Cooper a few years ago, and the NDSU onzie is from Aunt Sue, it used to be Cousin Taylors whose older cousin Nikki goes to NDSU.

 tried to get a picture of the three of them and the Cooper was more interested in watching acartoon on Johns phone and the twins were way more interested in their big brother. Can't wait to see how pitures with Santa Claus go this weekend!

Baby food for the first time

So a few weeks ago we gave the boys rice cereal for the first time. And boy was it a hit. It took them a few times to figure out how to keep it in their mouths but they have been doing better every day.

 after a mouth full

 yummy, good stuff

 Cooper kept saying he wanted a bite too, until I'd dish him up a spoonfull, then it was a whole different story.

We can't seem to feed Hunter fast enough sometimes, can't wait to see how they like squash!

Happy Halloween

For this Halloween Cooper wanted to be a pirate, specifically Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirate! Only problem, we had to bribe him with hotdogs in order for him to even wear the costume!

 He did how ever really like his sword.

 here are our little tiger at bat. This is one of the only times Conner liked having the hood up.

 Here are the boys when we went over to Uncle Billy and Aunt Sue. As you can see Conner is still thrilled with his costume!

 all smiles

 got to love the face

 Cooper and I decided to carve a pumpkin this year. This is about as much as Cooper helped out. He didn't really want to touch the insides after this.

 all finished with the kitten on a jack o lantern

 Here is what it looks like in the dark
