Whatever makes you happy

Will loves to dress up. We have numerous costumes and he wears a new one almost daily. Well on our daily bike ride he decided to wear a "costume". I wish I had taken a picture of the full costume which included white gloves. I don't understand why he would want to wear all of this but he does and he did, whatever makes him happy.

At least one of my children was dressed alright.

Playing with the Camera

Lately while Will naps and before Cooper goes down I have been messing around with my camera. I usually just read the manual and get more confused but it has been a little productive. I hope this Spring to take a class at the college to help me really use the camera to its fullest ability. Yes I know most of the pictures are blurry but it is part of me learning.

Pumpkin Patch

Last week Ms. Pascha, Gabe and Olive joined us for a walk to the Pumpkin Patch. McFarlin church sells the most beautiful pumpkins every year as a fundraiser. There are big ones, small ones, green, orange, white and even bumpy ones. Will had fun looking at all of them and really enjoyed crawling on them to find the perfect one. I hope we can make this an annual event. The pumpkins are looking beautiful on the front porch and I will get a picture posted soon. Happy Fall Everyone.

Cooper and Olive walked over in Pascha's stroller and I pulled the big boys in the wagon.

Will and Gabe - they did a great job stopping for pictures

Are these boys not the sweetest? Will's haircut looks awesome and he was such a good helper hold Cooper. Cooper looks so big to me in this picture.

And here is Mr. Good Eater. Look at those cheeks!

Fall Decorations

It is that time of year again. The time I crawl up in the attic and bring down tote after tote of holiday decoartions. Mark is over all the decorations. He knows from now until Easter there will be wreaths, door decorations and his most hated decoration, the flag. I love it all. Will has really started getting into it all. He does keep calling everything Christmas decorations. Oh dear...

Of course I had to add in this special little baby.

Family Pictures

A few weekends ago we headed out to campus for our family pictures. Jana Carson did a fantastic job. She was so easy to work with, especially with our 3 year old who really didn't want his photo taken. We had tons of fun and have many different pictures to pick from, these are just a few, enjoy!

Football?? I think yes!!

Saturday Norman hosted another OU football game. Kick off was scheduled for 2:30pm so Cooper and I opted to stay home. Will got the choice of having an early nap and going or staying home. He of course choose to go. I was curious to see if he would last the entire game so I dropped the boys off incase I needed to him up. Well he lasted the entire game and was in full OU spirit the whole game. Mark snapped a few pictures with his phone, he knows how to make a mom happy! After 3 home games it will be interesting explaining to Will why we don't get to go this week.

Checking the ramp out.

As Sooner was heading up the ramp for a drink, Mark was able to catch him for a picture.
And a high five.

Our church has a funraiser before every game, this week was sponsoring Childrens Minstry. This is Cooper and I helping out, or sitting in the shade. :)

Water Fun

Another OU Weekend

All three WMH's.

Walking down to campus.
I think these pics are so sweet.
Yes, both Mark and Will love their glasses.

Happy Birthday Papa

Papa's Birthday was this weekend so we made our first trip to Yukon since Cooper has been born. Althought I did have to ride the entire way there and back in the back of the Tahoe it was still a fun trip. We stopped to grab a Double Decker Cookie Cake from Sams and we were ready to go. We ran into all the rain and there for a while it was kind of scary but we arrived there safe and sound.

Papa with all his grandsons, Will, Camden and Cooper

Cooper talking to Papa, while he is peeing on Nana!

Papas party boys. Hello! Look at this thing! It was the best $15 I have ever spent.
Love the crown Papa! Cooper started sucking his thumb. Look how relaxed Cooper is.

Sweet Cooper

While the boys went to the game this weekend, Shawna and I went down to campus to do some shopping. I picked up this great chalklboard I will post about later. At half time we picked Will up, he was DONE, and walked back to Merideth's to watch the game and wait for the boys. While we were there Merideth snapped some pictures of Cooper, she is a great photographer. Thanks Mer!

Fall Weather

The Hyde Family has really been enjoying the early Fall weather. Cooper is getting old enough to spend sometime out in the shade and truely enjoy it. Will could spend all of his time out there, between bikes, trikes and shovels, he really can entertain himself for hours.

Look at this sweet face.

Cooper is starting to smile and it just melts my heart.
Enjoying the weather
Will got this big wheel for Christmas and he hasn't been able to reach the pedals, until now.
He had to concentrate to get it going but figured it out rather quickly.

The flag on the back is one of his favorite parts. Thanks Moo Ma and Grandpa.

Football Season is here!

Boomer Sooner! Football season is here! Saturday morning you will find us outside hanging up our OU flag and getting ready for the game. We try to head down to campus early so Will can walk around before the crowd arrives. I have to admit I get excited about the game myself. I enjoy being on campus and soaking in the atmosphere, although the crowd gets a little old. The boys are already looking forward to Saturday, should be a good day!
