Pictures

It is very rare that I get to take a picture of Adrienne. She plays outside from sun up to sun down! I am glad she is having fun and getting a lot of exercise, but we never get to see her.
Adisynne thought she would join cuddles underneath her bed. She was able to get in there, but had a hard time getting out.

While I was making dinner this evening Adisynne kept herself busy getting into things. Her favorite was pulling garbage bags out of the box.

Gross but Cute!

While I was completely disgusted by this, I also thought it was a little cute. She was having such a great time!

Sister for sale

Adrienne loves pushing Adisynne around in a storage tub.
Then.....Adrienne put a "for sail" (for sale) sign on Adisynne. I thought it was cute until she wanted to set her outside!!!!

Six Flags Mid-America

We took he kids to Six Flags today and had a great time. I wasn't too sure about Adisynne lasting all day in the heat, but it wasn't a problem at all.

Adisynne's first ride!
Daddy and Adrienne on the rocket ship.

We also went to the water park but didn't take any pictures.

8 months old

I can't believe how big Adisynne has grown. Time is flying by. Here she is at a month and a half.

And here she is at 8 months old! She thought it would be nice to rearrange the refrigerator for me!!

Birthday/Anniversary Wishes

We would like to say Happy Birthday to Aunt Kimmy who is 26 years old today! We love you and hope you have a good day!!It is also our 6th anniversary. Happy Anniversary Joshua. I love you!!

Doctors Appointment

My doctors appointment was pretty uneventful. I had to bring both kids with me, and they were great the whole time. I haven't gained any weight, and my blood pressure is normal. I am suppose to be getting a call from the radiology department in the maternity unit of the hospital today to schedule my extensive ultrasound. They will check to make sure kidneys, heart, and other organs are developing normally. Also, if the baby cooperates, we will find out what we are having! My next regular appointment is on July 20th. I will keep you updated!

Father Day Pictures

Adisynne dipped her face in the bubbles and came up with a bubble "GO-T".
Can you tell she loves the water??

We went to St. Louis Union Station on Fathers Day. It is a big shopping promenade in what use to be Union Station. This is Adrienne standing by the Harry Potter train. Here she is by the Harry Potter gate. Gate 9 3/4!
Feeding the gold fish. Daddy was holding the food and the fish would eat it right out of his hand.
Adrienne made Josh breakfast in bed on Fathers Day. She did a great job. The only thing I had to do was dip the bread in the egg for the french toast. She didn't want to touch the egg! She is becoming quite the chef.

Happy Father's Day Papa!

We hope you have a wonderful Father's Day. We wish we were there to spend it with you! Love- Josh, Crystal, Adrienne, Adisynne and baby.

Happy Father's Day Joshua

Pictures with an update!

This was taken while we were in Michigan. Adisynne woke up, I laid her next to me, then she fell back asleep. They looked so precious laying there together.
Adisynne thought it would be a good idea to eat Nana's JC Penney catalog! She is 95% angel and 5% little monster! She is crawling all around, pulling herself up using furniture, and walking along furniture. She now has two teeth (bottom two), and is eating everything in sight! She loves being outside just like her big sister.An upside down Adrienne! This is the first summer she has not gone to daycare. I thought it would be a good thing for her, but apparently I was wrong. She is so use to being entertained all day long, and now she gets bored so easily. We signed her up for bible school next week and we are looking at other things to do to keep us busy this summer. She is finishing up her softball season, and she did a great job this year. She did not strike out once, and she loves playing first base.


I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday. I can't believe how much faster I've gotten bigger with each child. I am trying not to stress out about it too much because I know this will be the last time I will be pregnant. Josh and I are still trying to pick out a girl name, and have chosen Joshua David Cooper II if it is a boy. If we do have a girl we would like another "A" name. I am open to any suggestions! We may be able to find out next month what the sex of the baby is, but the doctor may not be able to tell until my August appointment.

Back Home

We had a great time in Michigan, but we were all happy to get back home and see Daddy. He was very happy to see all of us as well. (Josh had to go home early to get back to work) We will be going back to Michigan on July 26.Adrienne and Adisynne waiting to get on the plane. You can't see it very well, but behind them is the plane we were on. Adisynne did a great job on her first airplane. She slept through the first plane ride, and then second plane, she entertained everyone with her smiles and noises. Adrienne was a little nervous to get on the plane, even though she has flown several times, but was okay once we got in the air.
It was so cute to watch Adrienne and Adisynne playing together at the airport. Adisynne crawled right over to Adrienne and started playing. She even stuck up for herself when Adrienne wasn't sharing the Lego's!
My mom and sister brought us to the airport. This is Nana getting one last snuggle before we got on the plane.
