Coppola Cousins

We made a trip to Decorah to visit Tony and Kelly last Friday, before taking off for Ely, Minnesota. We weren't there long but we sure did have a great time! I did want to post the most recent photos of the Coppola Boys! Enjoy!

 Left to right: Joey IV, Age 6; Carter John, Age 3 (Cary and Ali); Maddox Cecil, Age 3; Brynn Marie, 8 months approx (Cary and Ali); Bennett Michael, Age 2 (Tony and Kelly); and Davis Jacob, Age 4 (Tony and Kelly).

What this means for when they are in high school: Joey will be a senior; Davis will be a junior; Carter and Maddox will be sophomores; Bennett will be in 8th grade, Brynn will be in 7th grade, and our baby will be in 6th grade!! Those poor teachers....

A little about this crew:

Joey: He's the oldest, and takes charge.  He loves superheroes, and playing with any toy, and loves video games! He is protective of all the little ones.

Davis: He loves Joey, and follows him around pretty much everywhere. He loves playing with anything that Joey is playing with. His favorite thing to say is, "Can I tell you something?" He is tender-hearted and has a great imagination.

Maddox: He loves competing in pretty much anything...races, baseball, basketball, football and more. He wants everyone to play with him, or compete against him. He hates to lose.  He is a daddy's boy and is often seen attached to his leg or asking, "Where's Daddy?"

Carter: His main job is keeping up with the other boys, but he is independent at the same time. He loves trains, cars, and talking (like his mama!). His favorite thing to say to me is "You know what, Aunt Howwie?" He is loving, and always going to check up on his little sister. He has a sweet demeanor, and a sweet tooth. 

Bennett: He wants to roll wth the big kids but can't quite keep up yet.  He is known to walk around talking to himself and adds a bit of a grunt to whatever he is saying.  He is not known for sitting down or doing anything quietly.  You know instantly when he has entered a room, which is what makes him so easy to love.  He has big lips, and loves his mama!

Brynn: This poor thing is the only girl in the group.  She has not quite developed her reputation for running with the boys yet, so that remains to be seen.  But, she is sweet as apple pie, and almost always has a smile on her face. From the outside looking in, she sure does seem like an easy baby! She is currently asking God for a baby girl cousin!

It's always a madhouse when all these cousins are together - but it's always fun! Listening to them chatter, watching them play together, seeing how they help and protect each other...it really is fun watching them grow up together! It will be fun to see what the future brings for these kids!
