(Reese getting so big!)
We have been having so much fun this summer, minus today with about 10 thunder and lightening storms all day!! And of course I tried mowing the lawn! It did get done it just took 2 tries!
This month has just flown by! I can't believe it is half over!
(her cute little pony tails)
Reese has started to crawl and pull herself up onto things but only to her knees so far! Those that know our kids, especially family, this is the soonest one of our kids has crawled! Even Chloe was 10 1/2 months old before she did! She is so fun and loves to clap her hands! No teeth yet and just full of giggles - especially when her siblings tickle her! She loves to cuddle and hates for me to put little pig tails in her hair! She is about 19 pounds and personally I think she looks a lot like Cooper while Chloe is also looking more and more like him!
(Chloe is obsessed with her tongue so her and Grandma Dawn sticking their tongues out waiting for the cruise for Car d'Alene)
Chloe is potty trained. Well, most of the time! She was at night for the first like 3 weeks but not anymore! During the day she is good as long as she isn't too distracted playing! She talks a ton and is hilarious when she tried to yell at Ryan and I :) She is always smiling and wants to play and run! She is an awesome runner, not quite as fast as Cooper but I have a feeling some day she might beat him! Chloe's favorite thing to do is put on skirts on twirl around and say "pretty".
(Cooper and Grandpa Ron at Car d'Alene! Cooper was so excited to see the flames come out of the exhaust pipes of the old cars!)
Cooper, well he is addicted to the Wii...Right now it is Star Wars Legos and honestly he is really good but when he gets stuck, he has no patience. He does ask for help but sometimes I just shut it off! He is very helpful with his sisters and is still asking for a brother....Oh so a cute story! About a month ago I got stopped in the hall at church on my way to change a poopy diaper and our primary chorister asked me if I had something to announce...HINT: are you pregnant? I said ah I don't think so. She said Cooper had made an announcement in primary (where are the kids 3 to 11 years old meet) that baby Ryker was in my tummy! Ah how cute, NOT! So I said oh no, no, no, unless he knows something I don't! Which he doesn't. So I had to tell her to tell the other parents if they asked that we were not pregnant. If you ask Cooper where baby Ryker is, he will say in Heaven! Cooper will be starting T-ball soon and we hope it goes great!
Ryan has been busy with work and he is training for his FIRST triathlon! He is excited and I am so proud of how much he has been training! He has been riding his bike to work, he just started to swim on his lunch break, then biking home and has now started running after her gets home...And if he still has energy he lifts some weights downstairs! I am excited for him!
Me, gosh I am trying to finish up little projects! Finishing the girl's dresses, painting some projects, teaching Ryan how to sew, cleaning up clutter, and yard projects! Wow, just a lot of projects!
(BUSTED! Grandpa Ron trying to give our baby Pepsi! Just kidding she can't suck out of a straw yet so he got lucky!!)
We have a lot going on these next 3 weekends and I am hoping to be on top of posting!!

Wow, what a sweet family. Tell Ryan good luck with the triathalon. That is amazing. So, Ryker is one of my all-time favorite boy's names. It doesn't sound good with our last name though and we're not too big in the boy dept., so I doubt we'll ever use it. So hopefully you get to use it WHEN you are pregnant--NOT NOW.
She is getting so big! She's adorable with those piggies!!
Ryan ...good luck on your triathlon! Better you than me! I don't like running unless I am being chased :) hehe
your kids are adorable! that's funny what Cooper said about you being pregnant, are you sure? Do you need to take a test?
