Do You Ever Feel...

Like you are being conspired against? I came down to see my cute husband feeding our cute boy and a series of events transpired that I did not see coming. I took the first picture because I thought the boys looked so cute together. When I came around the front, Cooper totally knew I was freaking out inside. Take a look...

Did no one at this house read my last post about baby food? Or....did everyone read it?

P.S. I'm just happy he's smiling...teething is not a favorite around here.

Misfit Pictures

Our Utah trip was so much fun. I took tons of pictures, but some of the pictures didn't fit into any particular post, but they were either too goofy or too cute to delete so here they are...

Lessons Learned

The last few weeks Cooper is learning some very valuable lessons from his cousins.

1. You can squawk and make very loud noises and someone is bound to pay attention.
2. There is better food out there then bottles and baby food.
3. You can grab at practically anything and sometimes get it.
4. Everyone else is sitting up and talking.
5. Canon loves you when he smacks you on the head.

The last one is especially entertaining. When Canon gets about 4 feet away Cooper starts rapidly blinking and crying..

Sunday Walks

Sunday walks have been a long tradition on our family. I'm sure they started with my mom looking at my dad and saying, "Please take those kids somewhere..." So, we have carried them through and this last Sunday, the Maile, Brousseau, and Daines families overtook Daniel Drive.

The strangest game of UNO I've ever seen.

All the present neices and nephews, except Cooper.

Baby Ane wasn't in this picture, but I thought it was too cute to leave out.

Misc..

Things have been sort of random lately...softball games, wii, and Transformers. The best news of all is that Steven is here! He and James arrived last night, and I forgot what the butterflies felt like until he walked in the door. It was so fun.

Cooper has a new crush, his Aunt Katie. Whenever she walks by or is within view, he smiles and chats at her until she'll take a look. They have become the best of friends.

Eva's permanent scowl. Don't worry it's reserved for me.

This video is awesome. Jackson and Matt are playing Wii baseball, and you can clearly see Jackson hit the baseball and then move his Wii remote to make his player run. You only need to move the remote back and forth to make your player move, but Jackson takes it to a higher level.

Update for Steven...

We are having a great time. There have been a few changes around here, so here they are. The Maile's had a baby girl yesterday. By all accounts she is doing wonderfully, and is now named. Meleane Jacqueline Maile. (The first name is pronounced like Melanie but with and island flare...I'm not even going to try to explain...) So, with Mom and Dad Maile being in the hospital, it's given us a chance to have pizza together! By the way, I have a new favorite pizza which is super cheap, which I will reveal later. I have to use it a few times to impress people before I can tell you how to do it yourself! So, here are all the children enjoying the aforementioned-pizza.

(All except Cooper in the high chair...he just got to watch)

Also, now that the Maile house is getting a little busier, Tim has come here to stay with the Brousseau's for a bit. He couldn't have been more thrilled considering that he brought ALL his Wii games, and they have theirs out and ready. (Has anyone actually sat through Zelda before? I think I should get a medal.)

I'm also a little worried for this cat.

Tim laid eyes on him as soon as he got here and has labeled him a friend. I think exactly what he said was that, "Cowboy is the most curious and inquisitive kitty!" So, keep this little guy in your prayers...he's dealing with Tim and Grayson.

A Lot of Excited People...

The usual confusion. People milling around waiting for a glimpse of something really amazing.

The princess has arrived!

We aren't sure of her official title yet, but once I know I'll post it!

We're so glad you're here baby girl!
