X is for X-ray

We borrowed this book from the library and it even came with a CD so we could sing along. :-)  We also checked out the Dinosaur Bones book/CD (both by Bob Barner).

Cooper loves googley eyes!!

We'll finish up our alphabet activities next week!  Almost to the end!  Enjoy your Labor Day weekend!!

Cooper's 1st Day of Preschool

Eating a yummy breakfast before his big day!  Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes & Bacon


All ready to go with his Lightning McQueen backpack!


So excited!!


Such a big boy!!  Is it really preschool time already??  Oh how time has gone by so quickly... feels like only yesterday I was in the hospital holding this little guy in my arms while we watched 4th of July fireworks from our room.... I promise I waited until I got to the car to do the "ugly cry." Didn't want to embarass my little guy on his first day.  ;)

V is for Veggies

We went to the Farmer's Market last weekend during our visit to South Bend to see Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Marsh


Sparky the Firedog was there!

Cooper's new toy.  He bought this little puppy at the Farmer's Market.  Great Grandma Marsh helped him name the puppy "Lucky."  He has taken this puppy everywhere ever since!!  Best $1.50 we've ever spent! :) 

Ok, these little "sweet peppers" are NOT for sale!! :) 

Time to paint with our veggies!


Orange Pepper ~ Stamp

Corn on the Cob ~ Roller

Asparagus ~ Brush


Very cute story!

U is for USA!!!




******We are also working on saying the Pledge of Allegiance! *****

Time to go home!
