Maya Meets the Cooper Cousins

We made our annual trip to Southern Utah in August - it was an interesting trip...I'll do another post about my parent's house being destroyed by a flash flood soon (*heavy sigh*). Despite all the loss at my folk's home, we Cooper girls still manage to enjoy being together!

One of the perks of the week was for Dylan - ANOTHER birthday party! Hey, any excuse for cake is a good one. He was most excited about the gigantic 9 candle, but was a little disappointed when he discovered that it was not edible. Can't win 'em all, buddy.



Sammy loved playing with Maya, and as you can see, Maya loved spending time with Sammy! Doesn't she look like one of those little troll dolls here? You know, the kind that you spin and their hair sticks up? Ha! Crazy baby...



Zack and Ivy. Best cousin-buds from day 1. Still going strong.



Dylan and Sammy. They had a great time playing together!



Mia is happy to be playing with Maya, but Sadie seems less than thrilled...



This "who the heck are you" face is the look that Taylor gave me for about the first entire day I was there - then I finally got a smile out of her!



Saved the best for last. My sweet Grandpa, Dana Pratt - age 90...with his newest great-granddaughter Maya. This is the best photo I have EVER taken. Love them both to pieces!

I second what Shel said! I love your grandpa! And what a great picture Maya will always have!

Aww, thanks you two! It's the cutest. He is doing very well - hanging in there! His body is a little slower than he'd like, but his mind is as sharp as ever!

It was neat when Grandpa kept saying to Maya, "You don't know how lucky you are kid." He is awesome.

Love these photos! And the one of gramps and Maya is priceless. I love grandpa's enthusiastic facial expressions.... perhaps that is where we all get it from?

Oh, and yes Maya looks like an ADORABLE troll doll. (Do the words "adorable" and "troll" work in the same sentence? Well, she is adorable!)
