We took the kids to the local minor league baseball game. They had a great time eating junk food and playing in the stands...don't think they watched much of the game. They like the stomping of feet when our home team got a run! Parker liked the ice cream the best, Scotlyn liked the Chucker bird the best, and Coop was just happy to be held.

Happy July to all! I've finally realized that I just can't keep up with it all...even taking a break from work through the summer. So...I think I'll stick to just one post a month and if I can fit in more I will! Here are some 4th of July pics. Parker had a pretty rough day not napping at the right time and being afraid of the loud bang of fireworks. As long as Coop had his bink, he was good. Our little princess was just happy all the way around!

Here are some June pictures of our kiddies. Of course when you have an older sister, you will most likely play with dolls and strollers...so one of P's favorite toy is a baby stroller which Scotlyn graciously gave to him. He is so in love with Cooper that he always wants to love on him. Coopers not too sure about it sometimes, but sits while Parker pets him. Scotlyn is also very excited to show off her new glasses. She loves them and wants to wear them all the time but only needs them for reading and watching tv. We managed to get a great pic of Cooper smiling...I think he had gas.

It's been a month since I last posted some pics of our new little guy...so here are some new ones. We are down south in Utah visiting some family while Matt goes on a motorcycle trip with some friends. We had a great time. Cooper is now just over a month old and Parker seems to be enjoying being the big brother.

Cooper is now 1 week old and has slept through most of it! I have to say it has been really nice staying home with the kids...I have help from my mom (which makes it even nicer) and Matt's parents will be here next week. They are definately spoiling me!

our big baby!

Our little Parker thinks he is still the baby...he kind of fit in Cooper's hospital crib!

the newest member...

Cooper Lynn Mikkelson was born on Monday night at 9:37 pm. We went into the hospital having some labor pains and they decided it was time for the world to welcome him. Matt and I were sure he was going to come out a girl...so imagine our surprise when he didn't have girlie parts! It took us a couple days to decide on his name but finally agreed he looked like a Cooper. He was born on Matt's grandpa's birthday so that's where Lynn comes in. He is doing very well and doesn't cry too much. He has been the smallest of our bunch weighing in at 7 lb. 12 oun. and 20 1/2 inches long. We get to go home on Thursday. Parker seems to think he's interesting and Scotlyn is happy she gets to be the only princess!
