Random family pictures...

Here is just a mix of pics from the family. I love the one with Tanner and Marleigh as she is reaching up to him. Also love the one outside in the yard. We had some wonderful 60 and 70 degree days in February and March before about 2-3 weeks of below normal temps and even snow in April.

Fun with glasses...

Here are some pics of the kids playing with some pipe cleaner glasses that Tanner made.  The little girl belongs to a friend of ours.  Emily watched her and her brother one day.  She seemed to like them as well.

MOPS photo fundraiser...

Hey all,

Just thought I would let you know that we had some pictures taken as part of a fundraiser for our MOPS program (mothers of preschoolers) at church. We were fortunate to work with an excellent photographer. Due to copyright issues, I cannot attach the pictures, however…

You can visit the photographer’s blog (http://www.stevietblog.com/2008/11/25-families-in-2-days.html) and view these pictures there. Our pics start at about the 6^th picture down the page and there are 3 of them. Funny thing is that Mary happens to follow this photographers blog and was surprised to see our pictures on it. You can go visit and check it out.

You can see the proofs from the whole photo shoot on here website (http://www.stevietphotography.com/). If you go their, click on the “portrait site” link, then click the “proofing” link at the top, then, once that page loads, under the picture there is a place for a password. Enter the password “mops” and hit enter.

This will take you to the MOPS proofing page which has each family listed alphabetically…sooooo, use the small arrow on the right to scroll to the right and you will see the “cooper” album. Click and enjoy. It may take a while to load, but it automatically starts a slideshow of all the photos, or you can use the arrows to navigate and click on thumbnails to display the bigger version.

From this site you can actually order your own prints…if you wanted to. Just a warning though, she is pretty expensive.

Fall pictures...

Here are some more pics of the kids. Tanner and Bella really enjoyed jumping in the leaves from our English Walnut tree.

The funny thing about the tree is how quickly it loses its leaves. Within two days of a hard frost/freeze, it drops all of its leaves. The night before these pics were taken, we had a 28 degree night. When I left the house that morning, the tree hadn’t lost any significant amount of leaves, but these pics were taken at lunch time and you can see how quickly they dropped.

You might want to look at the close up of Bella. It she looks a little different it is because Emily put mascara on her. Wow, does she have eyelashes!

Kids in their costumes...

On October 30^th, our church had it’s annual Harvest Party which is a family oriented Halloween alternative. The kids enjoyed getting dressed up and playing the games. Marleigh even won a prize for being so cute in her costume.
