Hip hops

Cooper: Daddy, I got the hip hops.
Me: Huh?
Cooper: I got the hip hops.
Me: Oh! You have the hiccups. I see.

Finally, Some New Photos

Occassionally I still get the camera out and take a few shots. I wish I had some video of this evening. Cooper pushed Colton off the slide and while it wasn't nice of Cooper to do so, I thought it was pretty funny. Then he did it again. I laughed even harder, the kind of laugh that clears out your sinus and lungs. It was a perfect "America's Funniest Home Videos" type of moment.

Even though they spend a lot of their time pushing, shoving, smacking, and yelling at each other, they have a lot of good times together.

Last week we bought a new pool for the boys to cool off in this summer. When we got home I threw it over the fence to get it out of the way while I unpiled groceries out of the van. Within a few minutes, Micole asked me if I had pulled the pool over for the boys and started filling it up. I hadn't. The boys took the iniative on their own and dragged it all the way over to the patio and started filling it up. While doing so, Cooper took the time to soak his brother with the hose.

Turn your back for a few minutes and this is what you get; A couch full of marker ink. This masterpiece is the work of Colton. It's got a Picasso-esque type feel to it. Luckily the markers are of the washable variety.
