Coop Bustin' a Move!

So - our babysitter Katie caught this on her phone while the boys were dancing to some Halloween music. The masks were a little project she whipped up, but the dance moves are all from James' family. Everyone knows that the Bubbs use a lot more hip action! Happy October!

Amazing Fall Weather!

My Awesome Nephew, Charlie, Turned 1!
My brother, Steve, forgot to shave that day! =)

Charlie on his birthday sporting the bruise from falling down the stairs. I think it makes him look tough.

The boys and I have enjoyed a lot of time outside playing in shorts & t-shirts. It is crazy that this is October, but we will take it while we can!

Family Wedding Photo - Leslie & Dave's Wedding

This photo was taken in late August, but they were just received by James' cousin, Leslie, from her amazing wedding! It was the perfect day for them to get married outside, and the wedding was really beautiful. Lots of fun watching them get married...they are a cute couple!

Our kids stayed clean for approx. 5 minutes, so this is the ONLY photo I have seen where they don't look like they just got back from an outdoor football game. Miles managed to find the one wet area on the golf course to sit down on...leaving him looking like he soiled himself all night. We are so proud!

Cooper Turned 5 - with a trip to Disney World!

What better way to spend your 5th birthday than at the 'Funnest Place on Earth!'. Grandma and Grandpa Bubb took us to Disney World for a week and we had a BLAST! It was super hot, so the boys were able to sport muscle shirts for days, but it was fun and they had a great time. We stayed at Animal Kingdom, and were able to have breakfast with zebras & giraffes merely feet away from our suite. It was great, and now we are thankfully back to cooler fall weather! A big thanks to my parents for helping with the boys during the week, and taking us on such a memorable trip!

Firsts...

James' mini-me. Crazy how much they look alike!

The boys have had a lot of 'firsts' the last few weeks. Cooper rode the bus for the first time. He is in Speech Therapy (Speech Buddies) through Edina Public School, and he got to ride the bus this year. It is a short class, but he loves the bus and thinks that he is the coolest.

They also had there first trip to the dentist...awake! They have had their teeth cleaned before, but they were under (for other reasons) and so this was their first time knowing they were there! They did okay, but Miles cried almost the whole time they were cleaning his teeth. I rewarded them with ice cream, so that was counter-productive.

Fall = Sports!

Cooper just finished his second session of t-ball, which he played with his friend Drew. It was fun to watch them get better throughout their 'season'. Now we are doing karate and indoor soccer. He already dislikes karate because 'there isn't a ball, and not a lot of running.' We'll see how it goes. Swimming should be added into the mix, but I don't know when that would happen!
