We're BACK!

Cooper and I made our first plane trip to the Labrecque Family Reunion in Arkansas. We actually met most of my family in Arkansas and then drove up to Table Rock Lake in Hollister, MO. All of my immediate family was able to make it with the exception of my little baby sister Tracy Anne. We missed you, Tracia!

It turned out that on the flight up there, my parents were on their connecting flight from Seattle, which was the same as Coopy and I. It was such a relief to have help with Cooper. He actually did quite well. He just did not like to be held on the take off and the landing. Both flights were not full and we were able to get a seat for Cooper to play in. What an answer to prayer.

The lake was BEAUTIFUL! Tammy's boyfriend and kids were able to make the drive down from Chicago....along with his bass boat. We got to water ski, tube, and my dad and David got to fish a little. Cooper loved being around everyone! It was even hard to get him settled down at night to go to bed.

I had the pleasure of meeting David's, Tammy's boyfriends, kids for the first time. They were awesome. You know anyone that would want to hang out with the crazy Labrecques for a week must be awesome. Thank you Austin again for sharing all your toys. Lauren, your discipline to study is something to be admired.

Scott was in Arlington while Cooper and I were gone. He was asked to speak in the Texas High School Girls Coaching Association Clinic. What a great honor. Not only that, he got to borrow his dad's BMW to make the trip. Riding in style. Cooper and I are proud of all your success dad and your go get'um attitude.

Enjoy the pictures. They are a little out of order...but, it takes to long to re-sort them since I did not upload them in order. The sorrows of blogging.

Cooper loves to play...even in a mop bucket.
