Halloween 2012

The Powerpuff Girls, Daddy and I

 

 

Team Cooper Halloween Night.. Dave is missing he was at work!

National Zoo!

We have not been able to do much, since moving here, we have however, been able to visit the National Zoo, that just happens to be free as well! :) we had a great time and as most of you know its hard to get a picture of all 8 of us, so I was thrilled!

 

Since May?? :)

I am almost positive I have never taken this long between posts! :) but there has been alot going on... in between moving, new jobs, all new schools, schedules so on and so forth...it's been too long My goal is NOT to take this long ever again :)

Trips First 1st Grade Field Trip

The triplets first field trip this year was to see Charlotte's Web! :) this is them on the bus!

outside our house, getting ready to go :)

Triplets Kindergarten Graduation!

The ladies graduated from kindergarten! They were very excited! :) Their class did a poem, and then we had lunch with the class... So cute!

DISNEYLAND BABY!!

We spent our first 3 days in California, at DisneyLand!! The boys (who have been to additional Disney Parks) were alittle bored the first day, but they liked California Adventure Island alot better... the triplets, well they loved all of it, because they are 6! :) We had a great time, and enjoyed our family time so much!

This is the first 2 days we had met the princess....all of them but belle, who just happens to be Aspen's favorite! they loved "learning the disney princess dance" boat ride, walking thru tinkerbells house, so on and so forth!

When we finalized plans, I made the decision the ladies were going to the Disney Princess Breakfast! Yes it was pricy, so only the 4 of us ladies went, but worth every penny! When you are 6, and a girl, you love the princess! We finally met belle, and this alone was worth it!
Belle is Aspen's, Sleeping Beauty is Payton's and Cinderella is Trinity's Princess!

Universal Studios!

On Friday, we took them thru LA into Hollywood, to visit Universal Studios! I as alittle worried they would be bored, but they really enjoyed it! The new simpson ride was the hit, as well as the mummy ride!

Knotts Berry Farm!

We actually did this on thursday, so i am a tad out of order (have to save the best for last) but the kids mostly the boys loved Knotts! There were hardly any lines, 10 roller coasters, and a free fall, that Dave and Broc rode 10 times!

Las Vegas!

For Spring Break 2011, we decided to take a huge vacation (this was our "reward" to look forward to, the entire time Kevin was deployed) We began vacation in Las Vegas! Kevin and I have been but our kids had not... they loved it! In fact i see us returning soon.
We stayed at Circus, Circus. Went to the wax musuem, did the MM 3d tour, & rode the NY NY roller coaster!

Disneyland Preparation....

In preparing to leave for Disneyland (this time in california) it made me remember when we went to DisneyLand Paris in 2006! So i thought i would share... we had so much fun (rain and all) with the Christmas themed park!

Daddy Comes Home!! Yay!!!

(if you scroll down, you will see I am way behind on this whole blogging thing) :)
After what felt like an eternity Kevin aka Daddy finally came home!! 225 days later...(7 1/2 month) We were all ready!!

Heath and the girls waiting for daddy with their ready signs!
Team Cooper watching for him, as his plane was announced as landed!

DADDY!! Tears were shed not only by us, but everyone around us!

All of Team Cooper is so happy he is finally home!

New Year... Thought I would post... Finally!

Well since I last posted in October (oooppppsss) We have been busy! So here is a quick view of the things we have done and did since then. I am going to try my hardest to blog once a week this year, with Kevin being gone I'll be honest it was hard... but here's to hoping i can keep up :)

A few things we did were.....seen Uncle Virgil and Aunt Yahaira (pregnant with our nephew) in Texas for Thanksgiving! I drove the kids 12 hours (one way) to see family and friends, something we needed very bad at the time!

Six Flags with The Pearsons for Thanksgiving! Meet Santa at Six Flags! Dave turned 17, went to Homecoming and He is doing great his Junior year, and is already applying for colleges.. Broc turned 14! Loves football and his last year in Middle School!

Heath is 10 1/2 doing well in his last year of Elementary and living it up with friends, all the time!

The Triplets turned 6!! and got glasses! they are doing very well with them, daddy and i are so proud! Kindergarten is a HUGE hit!

Halloween 2010

We carried on with tradition by going to the Zoo, but I have to admit, all 7 of us missed Daddy...so for trick or treating, we usually go to base, but we decided Heath would go with his friends and the ladies and I would go to our church Trunk or Treat... Everyone had a good time, Dave and Broc stayed home, watching scary movies and handing out Tons of Candy!!
Heath was AROD, The ladies were Tinkerbell and her Fairy Friends!

Movie in the Park...

This month's Hearts Apart was dinner and the movies. The movie, Marmaduke, was in the park on base, this was the first time Heath and The Girls had been to one. It is nice to just being with all my kids, we are all busy and do our own thing, so to be together every once in while is great...We are looking forward to daddy coming home, and doing this next year!

Open House

About a week and half ago Heath (5th grade) and the Triplets (Kindergarten) had their Open House. I took some pictures of their work to post for daddy to see :)
