To bring to a close the busiest summer on Koper Family record, I will share a few a boat-load of pictures that were were all taken within the last few weeks.
Aaaaand, here we go:
This boy is now potty trained! Yay!
Steve bought a new (to him) car. He fondly refers to it as his “cute, fun and adorable” car. It may not be manly or tough or rugged, but it is pretty amazing on our gas budget!
Little known fact: Flight suits make GREAT baby slings.
Chuck E Cheese has found a very important place in our lives:
Steve and I went on a “Couple’s Retreat” sponsored by his work. We spent 3 days and two nights doing this,
a little of this,
a little of this,
and a lot of this
We also did this:
(Warning to any Real Golfers that may Keep up with the Kopers – this video may be painful to watch.)
When we got home, this guy started Kindergarten. Can’t believe he’s so big!
We found out that we will soon be saying so long to The Mighty Herk.
Steven had a very fun birthday celebration, including a cake made by his Dad!
Birthday morning started out at The Home Depot Kids Workshop with my little family of carpenters.
We went from Home Depot to go get ice cream for lunch. On the way, Jack put his shades on himself. He is super cool.
After ice cream for lunch, we hit up the zoo. Steven is six now, so it’s about time he starts chipping in and pulling these other kids around for us.
A ride on the zoo train made our hour in the heat worth it.
We spent the evening playing at Mr Gatti’s.
There were bumper cars,
Air hockey,
Basketball,
Bowling,
and a roller coaster simulator that was apparently just as impressive from the side as from the seat!
Then there were the presents. Oh, the presents!
Even Grammy and Grampy were able to watch the festivities!
Next came the awesome soccer cake decorated by Dad!
After cake and ice cream, we went out to try out the new soccer goal. Somehow soccer quickly turned into hool-a-hooping…
Which quickly turned into hool-a-hoop wrestling between Steven and his friend.
Pretty sure Steve was more excited than Steven to start in on those new Legos!
Thankfully our super fun birthday celebration was followed by a few days of bearable weather! More than bearable, actual pleasant, beautiful, refreshingly cool, wonderful weather! We did everything we could to soak it up!
Hiking Abilene State Park
Steven and the bigger kids even camped in the yard to take advantage of the cool night.
We also went on our first family bike ride in a LONG time. It has been too hot to get out on the road since May. The little kids and I went for another one this morning and it will remain a regular thing as long as the weather stays cool!
And that concludes our summer wrap-up!
Now you’re all caught up!

Awesome Summer Lee!!! I laughed until Brinkley and Brutus came into see what all the commotion was about..I was laughing and cheering you on to hit that silly ball over the sand trap lip. Good Job Lee you persevered and racked onto the green. Oh...the tears laughing! Too funny. So glad y'all are finally having nice weather. I loved the hiking and tent pictures. Dad and I enjoyed Steven's party so much, it was almost as good as being there. I love you Lee and we are incredibly blessed to call you our daughter. <3
