Video's

Okie, along with halloween photos, here are a few cute videos that make us smile, we hope they do the same for you!

Here's a video of her singing a card she got from her grandparents for her b-day!

Daycare taught ellie the following song, and we just LOVE IT!

Note to self - don't do video's with a sucker in hand... ;)

Well, it's that time of year, sorry for the long lapse between posts, but here's our little cuties, we've got the cutest Kangaroo & cowgirl around! So, of course we had to share!

Sat. fun!

This past weekend, we had some visitors from afar and had a blast! Carla brought her new baby girl (Addysen - SUCH A CUTIE!), Cassy brought her adorable two girls (Ella & Taylor), and Lola came for a short while too! So of course, I had to share a few pics!

Here is Ella and Ella playing their fun games - in and out of the pool, back and forth, back and forth.... Over and over again! :)

Here's the lot of us! Matt was nice enough to try to take all of our pictures together... Of course, that's normally not easy, but I think we all did a great job!

Didn't they have such cute matching dresses? LOVE THEM! :)

All about Emily...

We LOVE our Emily, so this post is all about her... She has us laughing and rolling and having a great time ALL the time... She's just so cute! And she's already losing some of her baby chub! Luckily, she's still got a little to last us a bit, 'cause LOVE every inch of her!

Emily loves that baby in the mirror! Kisses gallore!

Emily has OFFICIALLY done her first crawl (on Aug 22 - Sat. but we finally got it on firlm Aug 23rd.. It's hard to catch!) She's still getting used to it, but we're so proud!

How could you not be proud of any person that makes you so happy!

Friends...

We also saw lots of friends along the last few weeks and a few pics just had to be shared! - All taken at Mike's 30th b-day party!

Emmie & Izzy!

Dornfeld & Anderson Girls, big girls & 'lil sisters!

Big Sisters!

Family Pic!





Then more recently we visited with some of Lori's high school friends and had a great time!

Ellie LOVES Mikki, but who doesn't? :) Above: Scott, Eric, Mikki, Megan, Morgan, Keith, Maddie, Katie, Ellie (another one!), Megan, Sam, Jon, 2nd row: Ellie, Lori, Matt and Emmie :)

Thanks for looking!

Hula-hooping...

Well, for all those who LOVED the hula-dancing... Ellie also liked the hula-hoop! But I think we can see who the star of this video is, and we LOVE our neices, so we had to share how good Callah did too!!! :) (And added a pic of Emmie and Dave cause, well, cause it's so cute!)

Biking...

Ellie's been practicing on her tricycle... And doing GREAT! FYI- we did a little WD-40 after this video... :)

Swimming!

What would a summer be without swimming at the Cooper household? Gotta love it!

Circus

July was a month full of fun and LOTS of pictures... So, we thought you might like to see a few of them! And where better a place to start then at the Circus...


Aunt Annie and Uncle Terry met Ellie and I out at the Circus to see animals, have our first snowcone, and of course... DANCE!

Cute! Ellie is definately at home with her Aunt and Uncle!

Ellie had a great time riding the camel AND the elephant with her Aunt Annie!

I didn't realize we had organized dancing in the fam... But hey, I LOVE IT! :)

Ellie and Emmy News Updates

I know it's blasphemy to update the blog without a picture, but oh well...

The Nuk Fairy - Ellie officially gave up her nuk. She put them underneath her bed and said aloud that the nuk fairy could come for them. The nuk fairy came and took them to all the other babies of the world who need them. The Nuk Fairy left a pretty tinkerbell doll and dress-up clothes (so Ellie could match). Ellie fell asleep immediately, but that probably has more to do with being worn out from playing with her Mama, Aunt Annie, and Uncle Terry. She has since done very well and we're happily nuk free for Ellie!

Emmy Has Teeth - Two of them to be exact. They're both coming in the bottom for her. It hurts a great deal, but she's being a little trooper about it.

Ellie's First Dentist Visit - She was a great girl for the dentist and has 20 teeth.

Emmy is Eating - Emmy is now able to manuever puffs and cheerios to her mouth. She's a great eater.

Emmy is Mobile - Not in the traditional sense of crawling, but through some kind of higher mathematics, she is able to roll and shift in various directions to get where she wants to go!

We'll do our best to get more pictures... and hula dancing... soon :)

Say "Hi"

On Sunday the girls were just wiped out from the previous two days, but that didn't stop us from doing some painting, playing in the sand, and of course a little hula dancing!


Here are some cute vids from the day!

Happy 4th of July!

On the 4th of July we went to the Brookfield parade, and then went to Lori's family reunion at Scott and Donna's house. Here's a good pic from the parade of Uncle Terry with Lori's cousin's Luke and Joey and of course Ellie.

Zoo, Beach, Ski Show & Fireworks!

On Friday, we went to the Zoo in the morning, and then we went to Little Muskego Lake to play on the beach, watch Uncle Terry's ski show, and we let the girls stay awake really late to watch the fireworks. Even Emily managed to stay awake and to enjoy the fireworks!

Uncle Terry is in there somewhere!

And finally... Let's Dance!

Swimming!

It wouldn't be summer if the girls weren't having a blast at the pool!

Could they get any cuter?

Yes they can!

Really cute pictues of the girls with Lori, Patti, and Bapa!

And then we have Emily... sucking on her foot. Ah, to be young and limber :)

Carla's Baby Shower

Here's a cute picture of Ellie and Ella from Carla's Baby Shower.

We also stayed at a hotel that had a fun kids pool. Here's Emily with Dada thinking it's hilarious to have water shooting out from underneath her. I my defense, Emily had a lot of fun too :)

Pretty Pretty Princess

Ellie is potty training, and I'm all about rewarding.... She got this when she pooped on the potty the first time at our house! She picked out the dress herself!

And of course, we love to share pics of our Emily too!

Swing Set...

Well, the past week and a half we've had quite a few people come over to help us put together a swing set for the girls.... THANK YOU to EVERYONE who helped!!! The girls, Matt and I ALL LOVE it!!!

First we have some pics of having fun while the swing set is being built....

Such a big girl!!!

And my happy little swinger!

We tried the big girl swing.... BUT....

Who wouldn't want a pink swing?

Such a fun fort!

Okay, we ALL enjoy the swing set, and here are a few videos to prove it...

Matt and I had a few competitions, and well, we can both go forwards AND backwards doing the following....

And Emily and I had fun too... Sorry Matt recorded sideways!
