The Highline Canal Trail

We took the kids out in their new jogging stroller. Isn't this just what you want to see when you have your children? Coyotes are quite prevalent in all areas around here. David has actually seen them in our apartment complex walking the dog.

Flying over the Cuckoos Nest

I've been considering creating a new blog for my personal thoughts for several weeks now. Trying to come up with a new name is very hard. Then I figured...why would I write another blog, I can barely find time to post on this one. So....I decided to edit the name a bit, per some familial help and combine my children and my own thoughts in "Flying over the Cuckoos Nest". Some might think that this has a negative ring to it, but I only speak the truth and I do in fact live most of the time in the Cuckoos Nest.

Things that have made me happy today:
1. No one called Cooper a girl in the church nursery today even thought he was wearing one of his man dresses. Now, this is something that truly amazes me about living outside of the South. I'm all about a nice casual outfit and all but I was raised to dress your children up when you go in public. Not a universal thought.
2. McDonald's has a 0.69 cent xlarge diet coke special right now. This is great because it can actually last you all day (unless you're my brother and then it will last you 5 minutes).
3. JoAnn's Fabrics is a very fun store. It has lots of great scrapbooking items and nice picture frames. Each time I go there I think I should start scrapbooking and I buy some new supplies and they sit in a box. It always seems like a good idea....it just doesn't work out for me.
4. The fact that Cooper just spit up and Trip went and got a burp cloth to wipe his mouth. How sweet! !!! Then he knocked him on the ground. This for some reason reminds me of the time my brother gave me a purple popsicle in my crib and my mom came in to find me with a blue mouth and thought I wasn't breathing. Oh....the memories. More to come.....

Our new stroller

Mommy and Daddy got us the great new stroller for all of our "off road" activities. We were very excited.

Little Red Wagon

Trip and Cooper had a great time at the zoo in their wagon from Rebecca. They were able to see the animals so much better!

So much has been going on we haven't had time to post. Plus, Mom couldn't get her camera to work right. Here's what we've been doing lately....Grandmama came to visit in early June. We had a very fun and busy time. Then Mom's friends Holly and Tara came after that. It was great to see them and we had lots of fun.
We went on a 4th of July family hike. Trip had a great time dipping his feet in the creek. He's a southern boy at heart.
Until.....he fell in. Actually both he and Mom fell in. This is how we had to take him back to the car. !
