Coopstravaganza 2013


Ok, so this posting is long overdue. Since our last one, we have had a 'reunion', flood, Canada Day, Stampede.... and one of us is back to work (the one who is now posting and previously was insulted for being at home and doing enough posts...hmmmm)

The only true Cooper kids (Evie and Gabe) came to visit. There are actually 7 kids that are spawn of Cooper, but only two get to have it as a last name. And one as a middle name (Joey C).




Of all the spawn, Joey seemed at first to be the only non-blonde. However, I am happy to report as his hair grows in it is actually dark blonde.


Nana Grace with Joey, Abbie and Charlie. We were all in Penticton/Naramata- which was very convenient when our Calgary house was evacuated.


Charlie and Gabe with Tom. Gabe has my hair- unlike my own kids.


Before the zoo was flooded, the Coopers and Kozaks merged briefly. As Ellie and Gabe are the same age, I was considering an arranged marriage to once again create a Coopzak family. Sorry- Sam Spedding.


Hmm. It seems Sam is missing from most of these photos.... (Gabe, Evie, Charlie, Abbie)



Oh yes, and Nathan. But still no Sam.


Nathan and Joey again. They had a love/hate relationship. Nathan kept stealing Joey's pacifier, and Joey kept flapping his arms and hitting him in the face. Notice the look on Nate's face. NOT impressed.


And the look on Joey's face...NOT impressed.


Awwwhh...Pop feeding Joey


Oh wait...three o'clock...it's Sam!



The babies again. Still not happy with each other.


The patriarch.


Our place had a pool. Which meant happy times for Charlie.


And Joey celebrated his 7 month mark while we were there.


Au natural! Your blogger, S.

  1. What nice pictures and a good time for the kids. Who thought to bring all those toys for the little ones to play with?

    Loved the picture of Charlie jumping off the diving board. The expression on his face is priceless.

    Talking of expressions, Gord's face at the dinner table was something I would expect from one of the kids....:) As well,Gabe and Ellee had the same crunched up face in their photo. It must be a two year old thing to do.

    Good thing for "Who Let the Dogs Out" video, so I know Sam was there.

    Nice photo of you Steph and good posting!
