Cheese!

Sadie figured out at about 5 months of age how to be extremely cheesy when she knows someone wants her to smile. Cracks me up every time!

Saturday Lake Trip

On Saturday our good friends, the Sargers, took us out on the lake with their boat. Jeramy wakeboarded, Cooper Jackson and Sawyer rode the tube and Sadie and I hung out on the boat. Jackson got really mad when I pushed him in the lake when he wouldn't stop whining, but I warned him. We really had a blast.

The boys loved the tube. Here is Jackson:

And Cooper:

Jeramy took Sawyer so he wouldn't be afraid:

First Day of School

The boys couldn't wait to start their first day of school yesterday (and neither could I). They got up and ready faster than I have ever seen them.

(I know Cooper's backpack is hanging down a little low. We took care of that right after the picture!)

One Last Hurrah!

A couple weekends ago, Jeramy and I decided to take the kids camping overnight up near Christopher Creek. It was alot of fun.

Sitting by the campfire while Jeramy and I made french toast and bacon.

Sadie absolutely loved being outside. It was quite a task keeping her away from the fire and stopping her from eating pine needles and rocks.

Before we left, we had a quick picnic.

The van was so messy that we decided to make a quick stop at the drive thru car wash, but this was the boys reaction to that:

In cast you need a laugh...

Cooper's Baptism

Saturday was Cooper's baptism day. It was a great day for all of us. We are so happy and proud of Cooper that he has made the decision to be baptized. He is truly an amazing kid and we love him so much!

After the baptism, we had a get together at my parents house. I baked all week and everyone ate until they had tummy aches! Nana made special "8" sugar cookies and the kids all took that to mean they should eat 8 of the "8" cookies. Sorry to all the parents who's kids got sick that night!
