Last October when i was working as a mentor at sears, I met Amber! She and I hit it off pretty well, but Kevin, Dexter, and our boys did as well! The Triplets love Ms. Amber and her husband :) that is what they call him fyi.... anyhow we went over to see them on sunday to meet Amber and Dexters baby...
Claire (click on her name to see her photo shoot with me!) the girls loved her... but the boys and Kevin did as well hummmm :) what a cute family!
Broc finally got to be baptized, he has been waiting for quite awhile actually, but to be honest he was waiting on Papa to do it, but we have not been able to schedule a baptism where Papa could do it, so we finally decided to go with our "home" church here. We are so proud of him and the grown decision he choose to make for himself.
Today was a pretty big day for Heath. He came to us about a year ago, and told us he was ready to get baptized, so we have waited until it as time to do so at our church. The best part was Pastor Tal his childrens church teacher is who got to baptize him.
We are so proud of him and his decision to give his life to the lord...
The Triplets have a family that they LOVE... Ms. Katrina (trina) Mr. Gary, Lauren (Ms.Youreen) and Austin (freddy) this is their church family, and also their sunday school teacher... my ladies love and adore their family. This was taken the night we went to casting crowns, the ladies stayed with Ms. Trina and her family watched the ladies... :)
we finally got to attend the family night with all the shape balloons. We had a good time, and wasn't even too cold until the end when we watched the fireworks :)
As many of you know, we LOVE pumpkin patches! This was a tradition we began in Germany and have followed through with here, in New Mexico. Last year i stumbled upon this pumpkin patch, and has become one of our favorites! We ended up this year going on a great day, there were field trips going on so the horses were out this year to be rode on~ Heath and the 3 girls were so excited!
We can't wait to go back when they set up for the Christmas fair!
On Oct 27, we will have lived here for 2 years offically, so we were too late for the Balloon Fiesta in 2007, and in 2008 Kevin had to work so we missed it yet again.. this year however, we finally had the opportunity to go! Heath, the ladies, kevin and I got up, ready and out the door by 7:30 AM (ohhh so early) Dave and Broc opted to sleep in. We got to go to the huge, opening day mass accenstion! What an awesome thing to watch, over 500 balloons we were quite excited to see them all. We begin at one area but Kevin had a thought to get closer, and he ended up being right, we pulled over on the highway mind you along with 100 other cars and got a great view!
So this is Team Coopers favorite part of living here! Balloon Fiesta begins today we will be going to family shape shifter night on Thursday! We are excited...
Heath, his friend, and the triplets went to work with daddy this last saturday...They appreared to have a great time! :) (dave and broc sleep in on the weekends, and i was slammed packed all weekend)
