River City Rock Camp

Cooper participated in River City Rock Camp this summer.  He and four others were grouped together to make a band, assigned songs to play, and participated in a concert at The Granada in Lawrence.

Cooper (keyboard), Molly (bass guitar), Eliza (elec guitar), Delany (elec guitar), Parker (drums).

She likes to pretend to do my hair.  I gave her a hair tie, which she stuck in her mouth, as any good hair stylist does:

Celebrating my birthday:

Lyons

The kids and I took a trip back to Lyons to visit my folks.  Baby girl was impressed with the plants!

And the cat:

Gator ride!

Coop got lawn mowing lessons and, much to his chagrin, we brought the mower back home so he can practice here!

Aunt Kathy made this adorable owl quilt for baby girl:
