Quad Cities

Last weekend we went to visit our good frinds in Davenport, Iowa. They have a little guy who is 2 weeks older than Cooper and the babies had so much fun together. I mean what isn't fun about starting at each other and trying to eat toys?!?! These boys will have so much fun growing up together. Just wished we lived closer so they could play more often.


Alexander is too cute!


He renently cut his first tooth so his tongue was out a lot. :-)


We went to the John Deere tractor museum while we were there. Mason was in tractor heaven! There will be an entire post of just the tractors……….lots of tractor pictures!


Mr. Cooper playing on the floor.


It is so fun that they are sitting up now. So much more to play with.


Alex and Cooper did a good job sharing…….Mason, not so much. haha


2 cute babies!

Nevis

We just got back for a great week in the Caribbean. We went to the small island of Nevis. Can't say I will ever go there with 2 kids again (hard to get to and a VERY long travel day) but be had a lot of fun and the kids did great. We did lots of swimming in the ocean and playing on the beach, Mason was in heaven! 

Here are a bunch of pictures from our trip!

Cooper was all tuckered out after our LONG travel day getting to Nevis.

Our beach cabana. This was so nice to have with the boys. Cooper had plenty of shade
and Mason had easy access to the beach and ocean. 

The cabana had a foot-wash.......Mason called it a hose and never wanted to put it down!

Cooper spent a lot of time in his diaper. Very hot and humid!

Uncle David is so much fun to play with!

We tried so hard to get a good family picture and one of the boys was always doing
something funny. Cooper looks like a deer in headlights!

What are you looking at?

Uncle David's daily nap spot!

Mason tried out his goggles in the ocean......not for very long though.

One night after dinner there was a great band. Mason and David had fun dancing!

Deer in headlights again.

Here are my iphone pics.........not as great, but still some good ones.

Happy Boy

Napping in the cabana. 

Already leading the life of leisure! LOVE this picture of him.......so funny!

 Cooper and mommy having fun in the pool!

 This is our tiny plane that was taking us to Puerto Rico. NEVER AGAIN!

 Mason had to sit by himself in the last row of the plane (because he was one of the lightest passengers). I kept handing him food to keep him occupied. Haha!

Mommy trying to be calm on the crazy plane with Cooper. 

View of Nevis from the airplane. 

David and Andy.........they didn't really fit. 

Madison Visitors

We had good friends from Madison come for a visit. They have a little boy who is Masons age and a little girl who is 18 months. We actually vacationed with them in Phoenix back in April so Mason was VERY excited for Porter and Nadia to get to Colorado!


We went to the zoo and got to see one of the elephants swimming. I have never seen an elephant swim but it was really entertaining!





Mason and Porter giving each other a BIG hug!


While they were here, we were having a terrible heat wave (which is still going on) so we went to the pool to cool off. The boys had so much fun jumping in the pool.











So much fun splashing around together!
