Man, what an amazing summer this has been….yet so quick!

Cooper has been practicing riding his bike so much to try to be able to take off his training wheels. He wants to be so big. He loves his skateboard, but is not particularly always fond of the instruction portion. But he is getting better about feeling things and teaching himself. And I am cool with it, as long as he has his knee pads, elbow pads, helmet, and bubble wrap….just kidding….sort of.

Crosby is doing everything he can to be just like his big brother. But what he doesn’t know, is he is (at this point) tougher than his big brother…at least physically. On a daily basis Crosby takes a big digger that would make even me cry. He will pop back up, I will say “Are you OK?” and he says “Yep!”, and carries on. It is actually pretty crazy. Today we walked around the block and down to the park and back. On the way, he fell HARD 3 times…totally fine.

But, when it comes to something that may have hurt his feelings….watch out. He is so sensitive. And so sweet. Demanding. And giving.

We have spent time at the lake, at the cabin, with family, with friends, at home and away….so many good times!

I can’t believe another summer is nearing the end. My Cooper is 4 years and almost 4.5 months and Crosby is 2 years 2.5 months.  I cannot believe how quickly time has gone, how much they have changed…how much I have changed.

Cory and I will be celebrating our 2nd wedding Anniversary over Labor Day weekend. That seems like so long ago…like it has been forever, in such a great way. I cannot imagine my life without him. None of this would have existed. He is my soul mate, and the most amazing dad my little guys could have ever wished for.

We are all so truly blessed. Incredible families, a home, and each other.
