Odds and Ends

But mostly odds? The following post is just a bunch of random photos that don't fit in any another posts.

Just a couple cowboys riding a horse they've named....Isabelle.

Almost every time the boys asked to be excused from dinner

they go to Derek's lap instead of actually leaving the table.

FaceTime with Jaedyn is a fun way to keep in touch with cousins 800 miles away.

...that we haven't seen since April!

One night we heard a strange noise outside.  Miles offered to go check it out.

Right after he prepared by putting on his bike helmet for safety!

I sent the boys to their room for rest time one afternoon. I heard giggling and went to check on them, finding them both in Cooper's bed.  They love each other...

Cooper is still obsessed with his roller blades and practices daily.

When it rains, practice gets moved to the garage.

Miles is a good helper making breakfast.

If you like your eggs scrambled.

I got an email from Miles' Sunday School teacher asking if I had a picture of Miles she could put on the wall in their classroom.  She was putting all the kids pictures up and said Miles was too shy to let her take a picture of him.  What?!  This is not the Miles I know.  Apparently he's pretty shy in new situations. (Mom, do you remember my first Girl Scout leader telling you she wasn't sure I could talk?!  hmmmm)

Cooper continues to eat more than I expect at every meal and wants a snack every hour.  In this picture he had just challenged Derek to a thumb wrestle to see who would get the last piece of salmon... I'm starting to worry he'll eat more than Derek soon!  I don't think that's supposed to happen at age five!

And I leave you with this image of how we deal with spiders at our house...

Be warned, spiders, be warned.
