Small Break

The blog will be on a short hiatus while we get moved. Hopefully it won't be too long before we can get reconnected at the new house!

Cooper & Dinger

If there is one thing my boys all love, it is going to a Rockies game. There are very few things they all agree on but this is one of them. Ty is so enthralled with the game of baseball he will watch an entire game. He has learned the players and knows some of the players numbers. Brooks loves the food and the crowd, but Cooper LOVES Dinger (the mascot)

These pictures are from a game this summer.

One trip we went to the dugout store to get a new jersey and hats. Cooper had his eye on a Dinger doll, but by this time we had checked out and the crowd was huge. So there would be no Dinger for Cooper. He didn't really care but I had wanted to get one for him. In the mail a few days later Cooper got that Dinger doll from his Papa. It has been a long time since I have seen Cooper that excited. He sleeps with Dinger most every night and he is never far from his side. Case in point. Thanks Papa!

A boy and his Dinger :)

Halloween

In keeping with tradition we went to Denver to trick or treat with Evan this Halloween. It is really hard to trick or treat around here so we like to go to my parent's neighborhood where there are sidewalks and houses close by. Evan was Ash from Poke Mon, Cooper was a dragon, Ty was the skeleton, and Brooks was a Sumo wrestler.

The boys were so glad to have a chance to spend Halloween together.

Brooks' costume was so funny. It had a little fan that ran to keep it inflated.

To say they were wound up and ready to go is an understatement.

Ty had a skeleton mask that he wore a lot--that is until it was actually time to trick or treat

Getting readyCooper was kind of scared by the whole process. He was not fond of the dressed up big kids who were coming and going around him, and some people answered the door dressed up. He was a little nervous the whole night.

Off they go! The little boys didn't last too long, so Randy took Evan and Brooks a few more blocks after we dropped off.

Denver had had some snow, but the walks were clear and it was a pretty mild night.

Cooper had trouble with the steps, and had trouble remembering the steps on the way back down. Evan was kind enough to hang back with Cooper and make sure he had a hand on the way down. (even though Cooper didn't usually want the help)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Soccer

Soccer has finally ended in Crested Butte--and just in time. It snowed on our last practice and picture day and is really getting too cold for soccer. (ofcourse the kids don't think so) Brooks receieved this award from his coaches and we are so proud. He didn't love soccer when he first started, but has turned into quite the soccer player.

He was one proud guy! (and still asks when practice is--luckely not until spring)
