Cooper's 4th Birthday!

Cooper's birthday fell on Thanksgiving this year. We decided he would have much more fun at Disneyland than eating turkey and taking a nap. Jimmy stayed home with Madi and Hudson; and Chelsea came with Cooper, Noah, and myself. We had so much fun, but learned that Cooper doesn't like when strangers wish him a happy birthday! No Disneyland Birthday Button for him next time :)

I guess Cooper didn't know he was at "The Happiest Place on Earth"
The boys loved Toy Story and Tower of Terror! Two totally different rides!!

Noah, Chelsea, and I thought this was silly :)

They make the California letters look like Candy Canes at xmas, so cute!

Chelsea, Meg, Coop, and Noah in front of the castle.

We all climbed on "Its a Small World" so fast...

We didn't realize we left Chelsea alone in her own bench :(

Cooper LOVES Handy Manny, but wouldn't smile without Noah.

Cooper was Stitch for Halloween, so he thought it was cool to see him at Ca Adv.

Noah finally decided to smile cute in the pretty pink teacup :)

Chelsea and I took turns with the camera. This is how we looked to each other.

Cooper gave his birthday trip a "two thumbs up"!

This is how Cooper looked at the end of three straight Disneyland days...
And this is how Chelsea looked :)

You Are What You Eat!

We had spaghetti the other night, and Cooper and Hudson decided it was more fun to play with it than to eat it. They would fill their mouths with noodles, and then shake their heads back and forth and watch the noodles fly out all over the kitchen. We had noodles everywhere!

Madi's Dance Recital

Madi auditioned for a Dance Showcase at BYU where you had to do your own choreography. They loved her and her partners' dance so much, they asked them to be in two shows! She did such a great job, and looked so beautiful!

Halloween!

Well, I'm finally posting our Halloween pictures! The kids were so cute, and they had a blast dressing up and trick-or-treating with their cute cousin, Holland.

Holland loved her cousins' candy :)

Cooper had fun washing the blue dye out of his hair.

American Fork Canyon in the Fall

We took the kids up American Fork Canyon to see the leaves changing before they are covered in snow. It was so beautiful, and the kids had a blast!

Labor Day at Lagoon

We went to Lagoon on Labor Day with Mom and Dad Bridges, Chelsea and her family, and Spencer and his kids. With that many kids everything took forever, but we had lots of fun!

We still don't act like grown-ups around each other :)

Spencer's Kids:

Chloe

Jack

Justin

The guys took the kids on Rattlesnake Rapids where you cannot avoid getting wet, no matter what you do. Which is why us girls waited with the strollers!

Jack waited with us, too. He's a smart kid :)

Everyone loved waiting in the lines for rides :)

Cooper passed the time by teasing his cousin Chloe!

The kids favorite ride is always the swings. I think its because they are all tall enough, and the adults can go too(we might even enjoy it more than them, right Chelsea and Mom?)!

Cooper and Hudson loved the arcade!
