A Cinderella dress is the only thing she asked for Christmas and she was beyond ecstatic when she opened it. Lately Kinsley has been like a life size dress up doll. She changes into her dress up dresses from the moment she wakes up until I pry them off of her when we have to go somewhere. Even then, when we get home off with the clothes and into her dress up clothes. I have to admit, I love it. She is so much more girly than I ever was. She likes to have her necklaces, bracelets and her hair done. Right now her favorite princess is Cinderella (hence the dress) but she loves all of them. I don't know about you, but my favorite princess is Ariel. So that is Kinsley in a nutshell.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTR1vgvV16dZu_NplyB5gA2xy9K39CTjvt0AacbQKHz4aEFoWJqRorKnYyjqkRGjwik8mW3NrgRhyfEgZ__MTMyU-Ggf1ftePYz7fGkqd-_QpwYoH9WsByZKVRY9Ae-trnW8AY2IKeXw5Z/s1600-h/IMG_1742.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTR1vgvV16dZu_NplyB5gA2xy9K39CTjvt0AacbQKHz4aEFoWJqRorKnYyjqkRGjwik8mW3NrgRhyfEgZ__MTMyU-Ggf1ftePYz7fGkqd-_QpwYoH9WsByZKVRY9Ae-trnW8AY2IKeXw5Z/s320/IMG_1742.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439705938680683410" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwJOjgcahbEzKSY2Q7C8zckFmpmnHMe-5SCRNmUcsUMEq1Lnk_1YNvVpK-oQjXYfVG-Ym-SWe9_kqHSf1xljDccaWJEWmRmfCs-WMn2M7tHoAiF0td7FzkteIfUxZviSxYPBrEtvPERia2/s1600-h/IMG_1738.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwJOjgcahbEzKSY2Q7C8zckFmpmnHMe-5SCRNmUcsUMEq1Lnk_1YNvVpK-oQjXYfVG-Ym-SWe9_kqHSf1xljDccaWJEWmRmfCs-WMn2M7tHoAiF0td7FzkteIfUxZviSxYPBrEtvPERia2/s320/IMG_1738.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439705923706671202" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Trains, trains and more trains.

I honestly don't know how you Washington girls do it. It is such an effort to get the kids in and out of the car when it is raining so hard. If I didn't have kids I would have LOVED the rain, because I love looking at the rain and lighting candles and having soup. But when you have the kids they get a little cabin feverish! :) One day Kinsley and I got all dressed up and played in the puddles.

Granted we just had a week and half of rain so I think some of them that had to travel thought the game would be cancelled. But the day of the game the sun showed itself for the first time in a while so they still had the game. Even though there weren't as many wives to talk to, we had a blast. The kids LOVE watching their daddy play baseball. They would yell to him right as he was at bat. It was awesome.

We celebrate it a week before Christmas day. When we lived in Texas we went every year, but since we moved to California we go as often as we can. We were fortunate enough to go there this year. It is and will always be one of my favorite places on earth. My grandmother lives on a farm so when we were young we would play in the barn, walk to the tank (pond) and play in the creek. My grandmother and Big Dad raised cattle, sheep and chickens. I have seen my Big Dad deliver calves and have seen them branded. It was just one of those places that will forever be engraved in my childhood. </div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwByzVsCR3tDpbuSLfiKZOlKTN48PAomNqZJkTik1NE4sy_F11ahh3Xg1GbNoPKKNRZ5zl4v7ZI2SSVGeE_Gs8nm79uD0BGknBHw-pbX9_unj0YA23PrZWS02UD5vFqFs2hH2EJNQC_m8C/s1600-h/IMG_1573.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwByzVsCR3tDpbuSLfiKZOlKTN48PAomNqZJkTik1NE4sy_F11ahh3Xg1GbNoPKKNRZ5zl4v7ZI2SSVGeE_Gs8nm79uD0BGknBHw-pbX9_unj0YA23PrZWS02UD5vFqFs2hH2EJNQC_m8C/s320/IMG_1573.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421206622601139154" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">This is my grandmother and the kids LOVED her.

She is now old enough to participate in Awana at church. I loved Awana's growing up and I couldn't wait for my kids to start. So this fall Kinsley started at our church as a Cubbie and she LOVES it. It has been good for me having the accountability in making sure we teach our kids God's Word. I can't believe that I have a child old enough to be in Awana's. Where have the last three years gone??? They are going by way too fast, they need to slow down! :) </div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglfX_iivGfTewonXWHOYzz5pCnmJkjQfFfWlqaZu37T5nIx5AEIL6PDVwTFcona4PTQvZWzUErxlWgC1VQTY6XqaphSnB0hfKZWdinxWBbrfYT0yVLufriMohHSxIe4-A3UImI-Hr8_iG1/s1600-h/IMG1249.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglfX_iivGfTewonXWHOYzz5pCnmJkjQfFfWlqaZu37T5nIx5AEIL6PDVwTFcona4PTQvZWzUErxlWgC1VQTY6XqaphSnB0hfKZWdinxWBbrfYT0yVLufriMohHSxIe4-A3UImI-Hr8_iG1/s320/IMG1249.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398134103788098322" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwejdGk7QGIL6egsvzc2yMVQwOJN9xRzzryj-n8rxN7M_Z-rBH7dWV4d8DtL-hS-badNVrNVRdgJVByXY7dVye4O1Y5tkPrwPluRN7hwh_QfKf1IvwvR8UmjmirakBzjcfROhBvGleqnvO/s1600-h/IMG1246.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwejdGk7QGIL6egsvzc2yMVQwOJN9xRzzryj-n8rxN7M_Z-rBH7dWV4d8DtL-hS-badNVrNVRdgJVByXY7dVye4O1Y5tkPrwPluRN7hwh_QfKf1IvwvR8UmjmirakBzjcfROhBvGleqnvO/s320/IMG1246.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398134091528209090" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Kinsley has also started a dance class. It is a combo class with ballet/tap/tumbling. She is going with her friend Reagan and they are absolutely precious to watch. Her teacher is Ms. Holly, and she has got to have the patience of a saint trying to get 6 three year olds to tap their toes. It is very entertaining to watch! As much as I love her in dance, I can't wait to get her started in sports. I always tell people I like that she is a girly girl, but she also better not mind shooting a basketball or diving to the floor to dig a volleyball! I think Chris and I are going to wait a couple years to get her into sports, but I can't wait till we do. Until then I LOVE watching my sweet girl twirl! </div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtokI9NU1PpqFV3ktKf1FpToP0PqhdkgjaZ-mzuLZscTw7mR4lm7pk5cvakBbeuG-ky6Gtgx0mHjzpsQDSY16X1ockXTV97hhLasNuOZJKK-TSWNb9bEW_wizdT97fQnE0KSlH6v6Ssuup/s1600-h/IMG1204.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtokI9NU1PpqFV3ktKf1FpToP0PqhdkgjaZ-mzuLZscTw7mR4lm7pk5cvakBbeuG-ky6Gtgx0mHjzpsQDSY16X1ockXTV97hhLasNuOZJKK-TSWNb9bEW_wizdT97fQnE0KSlH6v6Ssuup/s320/IMG1204.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398132021068043170" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsCpVWdHF7rv9ZngehAeNgNMyWWHXnJn_z2F4qgI35O4e6i_w2termEWUPnCCuWbwX_sZa35XTcJzv4yqsN-pf_A5kbQyeO9LZvDGSW7XtBSKvfb846br0IDCiPCfiBT7us0WDNcQqJPkB/s1600-h/IMG1212.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsCpVWdHF7rv9ZngehAeNgNMyWWHXnJn_z2F4qgI35O4e6i_w2termEWUPnCCuWbwX_sZa35XTcJzv4yqsN-pf_A5kbQyeO9LZvDGSW7XtBSKvfb846br0IDCiPCfiBT7us0WDNcQqJPkB/s320/IMG1212.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398132016500107970" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSnRgFUF7najA2IOpfqOKh3vDTnmMCGAW7ia2dWsgaRk6RyHIeVMeWMi7CHnIADjnhp-AKq3zMdZ_3Mq-5sbDPq-3EVA_h93-AaFPixQoUSHxmEqrLpMHrrB5g9FLV17lhDtyP_3rqgIcd/s1600-h/IMG1219.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSnRgFUF7najA2IOpfqOKh3vDTnmMCGAW7ia2dWsgaRk6RyHIeVMeWMi7CHnIADjnhp-AKq3zMdZ_3Mq-5sbDPq-3EVA_h93-AaFPixQoUSHxmEqrLpMHrrB5g9FLV17lhDtyP_3rqgIcd/s320/IMG1219.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398132004005132882" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVE1utHSoCyWdzgjPl7C1j47kZIKNR3Bdfb0DCIbUT4ASQkEfuwhwBbHOJ3nnmwHhuGkQ6Rex-qMVc_qvgYiXX5-EvDn21UX3KW9B5UOdMeKxIk-MzCFIooMDUziuFdRy-1n2fE94awoC_/s1600-h/IMG1223.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVE1utHSoCyWdzgjPl7C1j47kZIKNR3Bdfb0DCIbUT4ASQkEfuwhwBbHOJ3nnmwHhuGkQ6Rex-qMVc_qvgYiXX5-EvDn21UX3KW9B5UOdMeKxIk-MzCFIooMDUziuFdRy-1n2fE94awoC_/s320/IMG1223.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398132000968966770" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">This is a typical Cooper face when we are at dance.

Wow, am I little behind or what?? And since Erin is now a blogging queen, it motivated me to do a little posting. But like I have said from the beginning, I probably won't be great at keeping up with this but I know you all still love me! :) So I decided to wrap up a few of the things we did this summer all together in one post. Sorry that it is kind of long! One of things we did was go to the Santa Barbara Zoo with the Brookes. I ADORE this zoo and it was Melissa's first time, so it was even more fun showing her and the kids all the animals. It is a much smaller zoo so there aren't a TON of animals but the ones that are there are super close!!</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiti8m8X0LTcG2MUowkoFcX09l94VazFaRrJ0Ey8oIqlCowJCtCDAkZJzMqGeUKrWxPDuo1XNimqnIVkzTAX7E6doHzD70IWX3o4e9VWkId1VZeVQSFdvVmGZHU3pvcph5zxKvCgXxJ4tz7/s1600-h/IMG1150.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiti8m8X0LTcG2MUowkoFcX09l94VazFaRrJ0Ey8oIqlCowJCtCDAkZJzMqGeUKrWxPDuo1XNimqnIVkzTAX7E6doHzD70IWX3o4e9VWkId1VZeVQSFdvVmGZHU3pvcph5zxKvCgXxJ4tz7/s320/IMG1150.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396584356071567618" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb5a_pQnJPvrcGnQmY4eBsGtKJyRByeYzZWgNP5lRWeo-XkFNpRx_T1f2uXMHod4Z1fyba9DRC7m4g2M_S8MYUtYiYfEtRSYcB5hlXrktMkcMHrxLd9Lu0cUj4zAIdCM7eT4YfkPDJ6s6J/s1600-h/IMG1155.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb5a_pQnJPvrcGnQmY4eBsGtKJyRByeYzZWgNP5lRWeo-XkFNpRx_T1f2uXMHod4Z1fyba9DRC7m4g2M_S8MYUtYiYfEtRSYcB5hlXrktMkcMHrxLd9Lu0cUj4zAIdCM7eT4YfkPDJ6s6J/s320/IMG1155.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396584347380969282" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Seeing how big an eagle's wing span is.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPmynyh-pQ6iD-LdIThQcjNQ7JCogVEN0f-YFtqspXZFdIc3mS_0v6ChRpzgn8_eWghlZhi_TSpKUJ4ZVdy5_KIocQLD8xHPF2S8nAMUD-vsV1UFJ6bPW7Wxn648zwXBn0BbIxrSEsJ-aV/s1600-h/IMG1154.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPmynyh-pQ6iD-LdIThQcjNQ7JCogVEN0f-YFtqspXZFdIc3mS_0v6ChRpzgn8_eWghlZhi_TSpKUJ4ZVdy5_KIocQLD8xHPF2S8nAMUD-vsV1UFJ6bPW7Wxn648zwXBn0BbIxrSEsJ-aV/s320/IMG1154.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396584340741800002" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW8ihbImLX2pphWdiMZ9dS29b3R0hkr1fxMyvQw0KdFzTGOvxrAoue0EdXRG2-6SP0bU-wxu28Y7nE2I11lmnQEo0-n7-Eu-TpOfDyeKvpG9iXZFu1Fiu7bTN5tgwj_VkSTjjvtJ0gn5wj/s1600-h/IMG1151.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW8ihbImLX2pphWdiMZ9dS29b3R0hkr1fxMyvQw0KdFzTGOvxrAoue0EdXRG2-6SP0bU-wxu28Y7nE2I11lmnQEo0-n7-Eu-TpOfDyeKvpG9iXZFu1Fiu7bTN5tgwj_VkSTjjvtJ0gn5wj/s320/IMG1151.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396584331229901218" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Going anywhere with kids is always a little difficult but ALWAYS so fun!

This is a picture of the kids in one of slides they had in the play area. Staci was pregnant here and she just had her second boy Daxton James!

She loves the movie and she is always singing the songs from it. She kept saying she wanted to see Mary Poppins and I told Chris that I doubted we would see her, since I have NEVER seen her there. But the Lord is so good, after we were there about 45 minutes we walked out of the Tiki Room and there she was. Kinsley even wanted to take a picture with her (which she NEVER wants to do with the other characters). I was such an excited mommy! </div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-VCusWT8FiAXM0oAeUzuDbr-xW7iykaYhAwrLbgVKE4DdZUsrdzHW_AS_CooUt3XjyzOdjkxSR9LA0ALtV_nWxuPzYpdn9RGbCd7r6bmv4RohbGM1LmRCww-XaTlwYwPsQMlxt7xIsCOE/s1600-h/IMG_0772.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-VCusWT8FiAXM0oAeUzuDbr-xW7iykaYhAwrLbgVKE4DdZUsrdzHW_AS_CooUt3XjyzOdjkxSR9LA0ALtV_nWxuPzYpdn9RGbCd7r6bmv4RohbGM1LmRCww-XaTlwYwPsQMlxt7xIsCOE/s320/IMG_0772.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355098568404704978" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">She was a very pretty Mary Poppins!<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6V3dnOSMgtV8R_R6qj1m3U13flxY4QBVJzQ1HlyEd05asQHOdL0ZSO70yHuJ-7k6IUNewkC2-ITO5c3ULohWkZJhFLImy_ASHwbseyoKPEGAsGNIBX2nib5AWh2_ds-LDxDg7UG8ZXqW0/s1600-h/IMG_0774.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6V3dnOSMgtV8R_R6qj1m3U13flxY4QBVJzQ1HlyEd05asQHOdL0ZSO70yHuJ-7k6IUNewkC2-ITO5c3ULohWkZJhFLImy_ASHwbseyoKPEGAsGNIBX2nib5AWh2_ds-LDxDg7UG8ZXqW0/s320/IMG_0774.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355098565286639170" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">My big three year old!<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn8_zNuOrljzZJvdkRD8v5XdvPdMbsg0eyFhgejQmZmLBXz15dVq7N3-KaTfVJmayX03rae9gvgRmKIhankOQDFKCjWINyBpsNW9NyW0lDw0a647CuTMGqHxLV0DqSinNUX2SbL0QQz7Bb/s1600-h/IMG_0779.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn8_zNuOrljzZJvdkRD8v5XdvPdMbsg0eyFhgejQmZmLBXz15dVq7N3-KaTfVJmayX03rae9gvgRmKIhankOQDFKCjWINyBpsNW9NyW0lDw0a647CuTMGqHxLV0DqSinNUX2SbL0QQz7Bb/s320/IMG_0779.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355098558156836050" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBf8S5w6QovJv0OLM9D4MgkrvgnjV8GV9CKyyD-pTPfmpgu-U3HLKmqO2E9IMj4L0i4CkLAQ92RkU_qklwPOsyEX44dcI1Avk_ZffwfqitAee60uJHqP3-Tkyn5tvo_TQ4Quk-NuqFo99f/s1600-h/IMG_0791.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBf8S5w6QovJv0OLM9D4MgkrvgnjV8GV9CKyyD-pTPfmpgu-U3HLKmqO2E9IMj4L0i4CkLAQ92RkU_qklwPOsyEX44dcI1Avk_ZffwfqitAee60uJHqP3-Tkyn5tvo_TQ4Quk-NuqFo99f/s320/IMG_0791.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355098556652844610" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Can you guess who that is???

She will be three in June and she really is such a sweet spirited little girl. She is so helpful to me, whether it is with Cooper, cooking, folding, pretty much just about everything she wants to help with. She has turned into such a little mommy. She is constantly carrying "Holly" (her doll) around, sshhing her, burping her, feeding her (yes, even trying to breastfeed), pushing her in her stroller, sitting her in high chair, putting her to sleep. I have even been kicked out of room because she is trying to put Holly to sleep. She is just hilarious. The things that come out of her mouth are priceless. The other day at my parents house we told Kinsley that we were going to hunt for eggs, and she looks at my dad and says "How fun is that, Boppy?". Just little things like that make us laugh so hard. She is such a lover and such an affectionate child. I hope that she never stops being affectionate. As wonderful as she is, she is super strong willed. The other day she screamed "no" at me 7 times in a row, and she has her fair share of tantrums with kicking and screaming. There are days when I feel like I am failing as a mom because the work that I put into disciplining seems to not be working. But I know the Lord is faithful and I know that I will see the fruits of my labor someday. Oh how I pray for both her and Cooper's heart to be softened and come to have a personal relationship with Christ. I know that is every Christian parents prayer as well. But I adore this sweet girl and I try to soak up all the hugs and "I love you's" because I know she will grow up before I am ready for her to.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFqsVTBn-GwsAA7-J483r6O1bUGee7FduyCX6vo5lhw4cGn0N1bCDHKeKlaObot2ELRH7LNZwlYCZvoxXF9djbPrKjFkdyTsHgTqIsLY2ApXWdc1dHmDQs7A2NRVqWfa47G3GleeZoSFle/s1600-h/IMG0405.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFqsVTBn-GwsAA7-J483r6O1bUGee7FduyCX6vo5lhw4cGn0N1bCDHKeKlaObot2ELRH7LNZwlYCZvoxXF9djbPrKjFkdyTsHgTqIsLY2ApXWdc1dHmDQs7A2NRVqWfa47G3GleeZoSFle/s320/IMG0405.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325019253766687106" /></a>My little man!! Cooper is 11 months and growing up way too fast!! He is probably the most active child, he is walking everywhere, actually almost running. He started walking at 8 months and hasn't slowed down since. He pushes his trucks all over the house and all outside. He is clapping, and just started to wave "bye bye", and when he does it he says "hi". It is super cute if I do say so myself. He loves to dance and play with his sister. I love watching them play together. He just follows her around like a lost puppy dog sometimes. No one can make him laugh more than Kinsley. He is has 13 teeth and is cutting his fourth molar. Needless to say this boy whines quite a bit because he has been teething for so long! :) He is going to be strong willed like his sister. I have already seen the temper tantrums. Boy am I in trouble! But like Kinsley, he is so affectionate and loves to run up to Chris and I and give us huge hugs and then go back to what he was doing. I have blessed beyond what I deserve with these kiddos and I pray that I never take a day for granted!

It brought three incredible women into the world and these three women were therefore brought into my life!<br /><br />Happy Birthday Karen Gormley!!! Karen was my roommate in college when we went to Master's. We didn't room our freshman year but the last three we we were always "roommies". I can not think of someone else I would want to have roomed (sp?) with, she was pure joy to live with. There was never an argument, never an altercation, just tons of love and laughs. She was always the biggest encourager to me whether it was praying for me or leaving me notes. The Lord put us perfectly together. Karen is a friend that I hope to have in my life forever. Even though her and I don't talk as much her friendship continually brings smiles to my face. Her love for the Lord, her passion for her job and her endless love for her friends are just a few of the things that I adore about her. I feel blessed to call her my friend! I love you Karen!<br /><br />Happy Birthday Melinda Cassol!!! Melinda and I lived on the same wing in Hotchkiss at Master's. And we talked some in college, but it wasn't until after college and we started working together that the Lord really brought us close. She is the most giving, loving, compassionate and funny girls I know. I have thanked the Lord for her many, many times. I couldn't imagine Legacy without you. To see your face in the front office was one of my favorite memories of Legacy! Now Melinda is living up north with her sweet husband and her daughter Emma (and pregnant again :)), but even though we live so far away whenever we see each other it is like no time has gone by. I have always said this is a sign of a true friend. I love you my sweet friend!!<br /><br />Happy Birthday Jamie Hill!!! This special girl is one of my very best friends! Jamie and I have such kindred spirits. The Lord knew that we needed each other in each others lives. Our friendship has sustained many highs and some hard times, but I honestly believe that we are closer now than ever. I honestly don't believe that there are words that can describe my adoration and love for Jamie. I am a better woman because of her and her faithfulness to the Lord. She is such an example to me of unending trust in the Lord and I will always pray for that same strength in my life as well. I love you Jamie Hill and can't imagine my life without you!Chris Kim Kinsley Cooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05356550895973567023noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534143065992840746.post-18701102320922217182009-04-02T11:14:00.000-07:002009-04-02T11:33:39.182-07:00Time with Jamie<div>The kids and I went to visit Jamie about a month and a half ago. We had such a wonderful time being able to spend time with her family and her nephew Judah and niece Annie. The Hill family has been such a blessing in my life so it was so refreshing to spend time with them and laugh with them. Unfortunately, both the kids had nasty colds so therefore they were up all night and super grumpy most of the time. It is a good thing Jamie loves my kids so much. We love you Auntie Jamie!</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgASBPxJ5YgAhh_BYxwc6MeFx_7Lb8wwMe3gZeEB40-oKe3Kt69TOzBs_ubk-4S41MWfRDHS2TZsyPexgUfyPc25htIXy1hnGyYq-VmzuzudRVIaPU0sDmxDr8cUwc7Rw-ZxDPbkA8IA3EC/s1600-h/IMG0370.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgASBPxJ5YgAhh_BYxwc6MeFx_7Lb8wwMe3gZeEB40-oKe3Kt69TOzBs_ubk-4S41MWfRDHS2TZsyPexgUfyPc25htIXy1hnGyYq-VmzuzudRVIaPU0sDmxDr8cUwc7Rw-ZxDPbkA8IA3EC/s320/IMG0370.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320160980826636274" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwoVx7jftRiht4Ne6jR_3rFmotHjQdHX1kb4mZxruiiuKP9A-tcys59rdWv9o147cyeeqJyzRllT7mQZ4P8Sk7BE05VQJjkCL8E9btgYjV4T2g7HY-zDwc2S7hhgGwKXEOpkQTfn2mN7M-/s1600-h/IMG0369.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwoVx7jftRiht4Ne6jR_3rFmotHjQdHX1kb4mZxruiiuKP9A-tcys59rdWv9o147cyeeqJyzRllT7mQZ4P8Sk7BE05VQJjkCL8E9btgYjV4T2g7HY-zDwc2S7hhgGwKXEOpkQTfn2mN7M-/s320/IMG0369.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320160978748007378" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTeC35d-H4tEs9D3zO1Ui7kH4VYOoORiGmeNKR37jQuaMRkcBWBh-f0RbLr6TCm2MXPriMiDxpMPhoWZ9jGR8aEoP__M-JxYoUtwAUH7_qLF_o1JEl7EyMsRIFx6xS9lyf2lhwyfOboG3Y/s1600-h/IMG0348.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTeC35d-H4tEs9D3zO1Ui7kH4VYOoORiGmeNKR37jQuaMRkcBWBh-f0RbLr6TCm2MXPriMiDxpMPhoWZ9jGR8aEoP__M-JxYoUtwAUH7_qLF_o1JEl7EyMsRIFx6xS9lyf2lhwyfOboG3Y/s320/IMG0348.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320160973763072242" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiekgwHYXlVgXad3hFXWx8Wd4T59t_mzF63E5UjanxrwMAukesZS0sAaH5b7OQnZ3tTmviUATDAiITnkTFunbQ0dNvW_Z1Ir6sJkp19cqMq5eMJTvIJZJOjphW7ws7ktshIz2cre9GmmL5V/s1600-h/IMG0361.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiekgwHYXlVgXad3hFXWx8Wd4T59t_mzF63E5UjanxrwMAukesZS0sAaH5b7OQnZ3tTmviUATDAiITnkTFunbQ0dNvW_Z1Ir6sJkp19cqMq5eMJTvIJZJOjphW7ws7ktshIz2cre9GmmL5V/s320/IMG0361.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320159953534410050" /></a>I also wanted to put in some pictures of Jamie's house. She is so gifted with interior design. I have been telling her that for years. She has a little guest house and look at how cute it all is. I am amazed at her way to take simple things and put them together and make them look beautiful. It is a true gift to be able to do that (one that I do NOT possess :)) I hoping that she will continue to pursue looking into interior design because it is a gift. And you know what the best part is? She gets most of her stuff from Ross and Marshalls, so it is all cheap. How great is that? She would never post pictures of her house so I thought I would brag for her! :)<div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUlvjIhGIBaXlcyK63KrvxH1vxT8VvCE63TEEIgRoL6_dNvkr5wix-6u9cUeVAUxEZQKSfvPLealSze94LhsMlz2tfHmfA6mdxlMv86u-fSO0B72_a-6CUHi9c3xEF1_1kOFbROMc3Aa2G/s1600-h/IMG0362.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUlvjIhGIBaXlcyK63KrvxH1vxT8VvCE63TEEIgRoL6_dNvkr5wix-6u9cUeVAUxEZQKSfvPLealSze94LhsMlz2tfHmfA6mdxlMv86u-fSO0B72_a-6CUHi9c3xEF1_1kOFbROMc3Aa2G/s320/IMG0362.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320159946198041346" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLA4xaA9RcFXMHzzSkSU_IVnCYHSuLbnDdgk649hyphenhypheny-uDkmBHqh16WPxW-n87mMyLATVY-GjJIfVNQ9YU9DNNNC4R-oUdqKT1-V7AWSnfWNLfFl27FfRrCDkCQ6jZTC7SIigedrQiBJ9qa/s1600-h/IMG0363.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLA4xaA9RcFXMHzzSkSU_IVnCYHSuLbnDdgk649hyphenhypheny-uDkmBHqh16WPxW-n87mMyLATVY-GjJIfVNQ9YU9DNNNC4R-oUdqKT1-V7AWSnfWNLfFl27FfRrCDkCQ6jZTC7SIigedrQiBJ9qa/s320/IMG0363.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320159945015215602" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVj-0zXdYEJBkrWvuPmTYSv256y6xqgwpwGMtPukpTuLgLMv4PY_FlGG5bq8_y5FxbbHZY5HjZgyvA_TaPXg4bkUiNWFasF3RHeMY5sbNBxC6cjOydTdpNTlZcFzST66o857r4-TLZa3eX/s1600-h/IMG0364.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVj-0zXdYEJBkrWvuPmTYSv256y6xqgwpwGMtPukpTuLgLMv4PY_FlGG5bq8_y5FxbbHZY5HjZgyvA_TaPXg4bkUiNWFasF3RHeMY5sbNBxC6cjOydTdpNTlZcFzST66o857r4-TLZa3eX/s320/IMG0364.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320159942382990306" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIC67CBLbqL8k2R_-6nEYZvllOWM4c-3d9UZjHJlnSgCw8CL8QNDJgogexc43Y-qsXbN6QtQTaLmssOr5f9DArm9jFfiBYUwlgCysowUc1kF-3iFO2fgllS41iTSuZPoJs8c9WXStUA8B9/s1600-h/IMG0366.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIC67CBLbqL8k2R_-6nEYZvllOWM4c-3d9UZjHJlnSgCw8CL8QNDJgogexc43Y-qsXbN6QtQTaLmssOr5f9DArm9jFfiBYUwlgCysowUc1kF-3iFO2fgllS41iTSuZPoJs8c9WXStUA8B9/s320/IMG0366.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320159937569618514" /></a><br /></div>Chris Kim Kinsley Cooperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05356550895973567023noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534143065992840746.post-92205695723881348822009-02-16T14:29:00.000-08:002009-02-16T14:51:18.429-08:00My Loves!<div>Here are my loves!

I get like that when I am thinking about my husband, my kids or our families. And I do it a lot when I am thinking about our friends! The Lord has so graciously given us the most amazing friends two people could ever ask for. When Chris and I pray we ALWAYS thank the Lord for our friends and what blessings they are in our lives. What a treasure to have the like-minded friendships we have. Whether it is new friends, old friends, friends we see all the time or friends that we don't get to see as much, we cherish each of you the same and are so grateful for you all! I wish I had pictures of all of you to put on here and please don't think because your picture may not be here that we love you any less. But here are a few of our most treasured friends!

It was quite the adventure. From missing our flight in Salt Lake and having the spend the night there, to Kinsley getting strep throat, to running through the airport having our name called over the intercom telling us our seats were about to be given away, to getting trapped in an elevator. It honestly felt like we were getting "punked" a few times because so many things went wrong. But the Lord is so gracious and even with all the bumps along the way, we had a incredible Christmas (and white I might add). It was so wonderful being with Chris's family and getting to see old friends. Here are a couple pictures of the kids that my sister in law Amber took. Hopefully I will get some more off my camera and post them!! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior.

So here is our October. It was such a fun month from the pumpkin patch to making cookies, Indiana and Halloween. I am going to post my Indiana pictures on my next post with our November. :) This is just a picture of my family before church one day. Kinsley's auntie Erin gave her that outfit (can't see the skirt which is the cutest part) and Cooper is looking mighty handsome in his sweater vest. And I of course think that man in the red looks hot. :) <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioctwhX6DrRsNk7MED_4ESgFUaoj5kOlOZcJH-co-h0lRKWtyJ7ymVJMVT0TF6d5dr5U1G8pb89VkLaS82f0ANIaRH8zki_v5OfygvnNu9BCRgIsqC-QyxUOVDPjkMdbhkSbhxLeOla-6m/s1600-h/DSCN2537.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioctwhX6DrRsNk7MED_4ESgFUaoj5kOlOZcJH-co-h0lRKWtyJ7ymVJMVT0TF6d5dr5U1G8pb89VkLaS82f0ANIaRH8zki_v5OfygvnNu9BCRgIsqC-QyxUOVDPjkMdbhkSbhxLeOla-6m/s320/DSCN2537.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275081921973767314" /></a>My little man.

He is truly the happiest baby, just wish he slept better. You would think when a boy doesn't ever stop moving when he is awake that he would just crash when he fell asleep.

We all have the shirts to support them and love to watch them play on the T.V. Chris has taught Kinsley to say "Go Boise State" and she walks around saying it. I got her out of the car the other day and she told some man "Go Boise State". It was hilarious! Hoping to get better at updating, but as I have said before, no promises!

Kinsley's first haircut was cutting GUM out of her hair. She loves gum. I don't let her chew it, but she loves watching me chew it and blow "balloons" with it. Well, we were at my parents house and I was on the computer and she comes into the computer room with this white stuff in her hair and on her hands. I thought it was lotion, so I tried to rub it in. Obviously rubbing wasn't doing a bit of help. She must have found it in the trash can where I threw my piece of gum and started playing with it. Shows you what a great mom I am. :)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmwkwnqROKfpnY9zcLMWZZ7zTYKwoqfBnV-rH7vR00cw_Q3Gij5QWIfxHqywtlXKQwz2HUxSzx-uhQ91UwRV8lkNf7zgW2CZApoufP_mStb5DoO22pnn34lhAYJA5l5PzXpUVxORwK76Y5/s1600-h/DH000180.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmwkwnqROKfpnY9zcLMWZZ7zTYKwoqfBnV-rH7vR00cw_Q3Gij5QWIfxHqywtlXKQwz2HUxSzx-uhQ91UwRV8lkNf7zgW2CZApoufP_mStb5DoO22pnn34lhAYJA5l5PzXpUVxORwK76Y5/s320/DH000180.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249345701004262114" /></a>We tried to put ice on it to get it hard and then pick it out.

Kinsley has these white stickers that are for labeling things and my mom had a ton of them left over from her work, so she gave them to Kinsley. This is what I saw after a couple minutes of Kinsley playing with them. You can't see but he has one on the other cheek and all over his shirt.

Now I am sure by looking at this picture, you think how could this girl do anything wrong??? Let me tell you it definitely happens! But let me preface with the fact that Kinsley is probably the friendliest and sweetest 2 year old that you will ever meet, but she is a sinner and this story just makes me laugh. Well, it happened at Sunday school. Yes, we had our first "bad report" about Kinsley from her Sunday school teacher (who happens to be our pastor's wife). She called it an "incident" but this is what happened. There is a toy kitchen in the room and there are plastic utensils. Kinsley for some reason is addicted to spoons. When we eat, she likes to at least have two of them with her at all times. So Kinsley was playing with a spoon, when another child came over and took it from her. Kinsley wasn't having it. She chased him down and said "That's mine" took it back and then proceeded to poke the kid in the stomach with the spoon. Patty (teacher) saw it and knelt down to tell them that they couldn't do that and they of course both said they were sorry and gave each other hugs. I was dying when Chris told me. I can see it now Kinsley stabbing this poor child in the stomach! And then she has this smile on her face when she knows when she did something wrong, so I am sure she gave Patty that smile. Oh, I love it. Not that I am encouraging my daughter stabbing with spoons, but I thought that story was hilarious. And it might only be funny to me, because it is my child but hope you enjoyed it anyhow. I love this age. It is an incredibly hard age but absolutely the most fun. She makes me laugh all day long. Anyways, I just got pictures downloaded onto the computer so on my next post I will send some recent pictures of Cooper!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpZkNi5iyrmT-xUduCyTpdvZP_z08sb97T8pZYgiMQz0bswtJsTYaztqGuezshwTZeTGUqzXd9QJCWpt7kYIHcNN33l4N_T6RVb2Xa6ejKMR_wWGwipaeIXbGQEoqCTf_7mA8tTB_KB1d7/s1600-h/California,+May+29+-+June+8,+2008+127.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpZkNi5iyrmT-xUduCyTpdvZP_z08sb97T8pZYgiMQz0bswtJsTYaztqGuezshwTZeTGUqzXd9QJCWpt7kYIHcNN33l4N_T6RVb2Xa6ejKMR_wWGwipaeIXbGQEoqCTf_7mA8tTB_KB1d7/s320/California,+May+29+-+June+8,+2008+127.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238562401943387618" /></a>This is the smile I am talking about when she does something she shouldn't.

Jamie Hill made me sit down and start this and Sara and Wendy have been telling me to start one too. I cannot make any promises on how often I will write but I will surely try to do my best! Jamie is making me put a couple pictures of the kids on here because she says you all would like to see them. I just wish they were more recent pictures, I need to do some serious downloading of pictures from our camera. So here are some pictures of my cute kiddos when Cooper was first born in April and<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"> </span>Kinsley wasn't quite 2. But Kinsley is now 2 and one month and Cooper is already 3 months old. Hopefully this won't be my only post!
