Cooper's First Day of Kindergarten

Cooper is in Kindergarten! He really wanted to be the true student by riding the bus to and from school and eating school lunch. He is such a big kid! He goes 2-3 days a week from 8-2:30. We live about a five minute drive from school but since he insists on riding the bus we have to have him at the bus stop at 7:20!! Where they go from our stop I'll never know; at least he is the last pick-up and first drop-off with this bus. He is loving school and tells me all the time that he justs wants to keep learning and learning. You are such a big boy Coop...we love you!!

Here's for you Talmage

I talked to Preston last week which was great since we haven't talked in about 2 months (I hate the phone) and I mentioned to him that we have snakes living in our yard. Talmage stated that him and Avery made a rock garden to catch "garden snakes" so I told him I would send a picture. Sorry this one doesn't have his head...but it's a snake and it's dead (the best way!) This was the 2nd snake we have seen this year...I saw a third the next day but wasn't fast enough to kill it. Then a couple days later we found a snake skin from a snake about 8 inches long!! Coop wanted to keep it...of course I said "NO!" Hopefully we will be snake-free next spring...I hope they freeze this winter! Hope you enjoy the picture Talmage!
