Cooper's First Time Carving Pumpkins!

Cooper carved pumpkins for his first time... although he was bummed that he couldn't use the knives to carve... he had a blast cleaning out all of the "yucky" from the pumpkins!  Kennedy was there for emotional support... he enjoyed Cooper's faces while cleaning out the pumpkins! 

Every year we compete to see who carves the best pumpkin.  Hands down, Tiff won with her amazing rendition of Mickey Mouse!  Mark attempted Sponge Bob... needless to say, he didn't get along with the stencil ;-)

Kennedy's First Halloween- 4 Months Old

Kennedy borrowed his brothers first Halloween costume, the monkey suite, and had his favorite dog in all the world be his banana!  When we asked Cooper what he wanted to be for Halloween, he screamed, "Sponge Bob"- so Sponge Bob it was.  Grammie and Papa Kennedy celebrated Cooper's first Halloween 2 years ago, so they weren't going to miss Kennedy's for nothing!  Enjoy the pictures!

Kennedy's First Time in the Pool

Tiff had a work conference in the Iowa City area so Mark brought the boys up for some fun!  Kennedy LOVED the pool just as much as he LOVES the bath!  Cooper had a blast, too!!

Kennedy's First Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

We are starting a tradition (took Cooper for his first time last year) of visiting the Pumpkin Patch every October.  Cooper runs around feeding the animals,  crawling through the inflatables, riding the pony, sticking his head in the fun photo booths, and picking out his pumpkin!  Kennedy smiled from ear to ear the entire time because he got to watch Cooper have so much fun.  Even though it was REALLY windy, we it was good family fun.
