Too cold.

It's snowy and freezing.

So we have been hanging out inside.

A lot!

Sometimes we read.

Sometimes we play "Super Brothers"

and sometimes...

We play king of the basket.

I told mom that I hope February is warmer.

We went to Seattle

Me and Cooper got to go with Mom to Seattle for 6 whole days.

I even got to miss 2 days of school.

Cooper was really excited to go on an airplane.

He even had his own seat because the plane was very empty.

We were doing really good playing and coloring and stuff.

And then the lady in front of me kept looking back at me and then she turned around and told me I needed to stop playing with my tray.

Mom got super mad...

we moved to another row where no one was sitting in front of me.

Before we came to Seattle the time got changed and Cooper started waking up early...

Then in Seattle he started waking up even earlier. 

Mom and Cooper watched lots of Elmo early in the mornings.

Our second night in Seattle, 

me and Cooper and Cameron got to have a sleepover 

with Grandpa Jones and Grandma Mim. 

We had SO much fun! 

It was Cooper's first sleepover and I think he did pretty good! 

While we were gone, mom went to a show!

When we came back from Grandpa and Grandma's, 

mom and her mom and sister's were having a boutique.

They had stuff all over grandma's house and people came and bought it.

On Sunday, we just hung out 'cause Cooper and I were sick.

He got the croup that I had last week and I had an ear infection in both ears.

Monday we spent lots of time in the car.

We went to a craft store and 2 see mom's 2 grandpa's and 1 grandma's graves.

I just ran around a lot and got yelled at by mom 

for jumping on all the gray bricks that were in the grass.

and then that night we went to the mall to see Grandpa Jones and Grandma Mim one more time.

We got to ride on the carousal...it was Cooper's first time and he loved it!

On Tuesday we flew back home.

Cooper was worn out from our busy trip.

I used my tray and the guy in front of me didn't get mad once!

Halloween 2012

Every year we have a party at the church.

We get to dress up and play games and get candy.

It's lots of fun!

Cooper spent most of the night playing with this big spider.

He even played a few games and got some candy.

He really...really...really likes candy!

At school on Halloween we had a parade.

We walked through the whole school.

It was pretty fun.

Kensie and Blakes came over for dinner before trick-or-treating.

We got to make our own pizzas.

Then we got all dressed up and ready to get some candy.

Jonah and Grace and Erin came with us too.

I go trick-or-treating with Jo every year...it's what is supposed to happen.

Cooper was very excited to go trick-or-treating too!

We didn't go for very long. Well, I didn't. After we went a couple blocks I told mom and dad I was ready to go home. I haven't felt very good all day. My body has been hot and my throat hurts. Dad took me home and I helped him pass out candy....

A witch hunt

Mom told me that we were going to Gardner Village to look for witches.

I kept asking her if I had done it before. 

She said that she took me when I was little, but I DID NOT like the witches.

See?

This is me...4 years ago.

Cooper liked the witches a little bit more than I did back then.

Kate and Tessa came with us this year.

We walked around and searched for all the witches.

We found them all...it was fun...and I didn't even cry!

and here's another picture of Cooper...because I kind of like my little brother.

Cornbellys 2012

I love Cornbellys.

We have gone with the Bailey's for the past couple years.

It's just lots of fun!

Cooper was just a little baby last year...this year...he had fun too!

See...so much fun!

I think Dad and Bryan had fun too!

I already told mom that I can't wait to go again next year!

Pumpkin Patch

I got to go to the Pumpkin Patch with my cousins.

I wasn't really sure I wanted to go with them...

but mom told me I didn't have a choice.

At least we went to the patch that we go to every year...

because that is what we do every year. :)

Once we got there I was glad they were there.

We had a lot of fun...and got dirty...and mom got stung by a bee.

Maybe she should have ridden in the wagon with us kids.

Everyone picked a pumpkin...I got to pick out Cooper's.

I sure do love the pumpkin patch!

Mom says we have to wait a couple weeks before we can carve them so they don't get yucky in the warm weather...

I can't wait!
