today in the life of the koks
We stopped at Starbucks then headed to the park on this sunny & crisp fall morning. Lauren and Ben looked especially cute in their new pumpkin hats that Stef made them- thank you Stef!!! 
Benny & Me
Lauren & Kevin 
Lauren made some friends at the park, this little girl was too cute with her arms around Lauren, she was 4 years old!
This park has the strangest toys but Lauren had a blast playing on them with her new buddies.
Aimee is quite popular at our house, Lauren loves to cuddle with her and Ben was pretty happy to receive a bottle from her last night as well. I think you're kind of a natural Aimee:)
Lauren and I painted our nails on Friday. I gave her a choice of colors and to my surprise she picked the dark purply/black. I said, "you are so stylish" and she said, "I style".
She was so proud of her stylish toes.
Then as I'm putting everything away she says, "Mommy, I want pink instead". Uhh... I just painted pink over it so now her toes are a lovely shade of irridecent violet, not stylish at all- lucky for her it's not sandal season!
We went to Jump Planet on Friday with Hadley & Megan and had lots of fun.
Wee!
Hadley is getting so brave- she started to climb up the slide all by herself!
Lauren would go up to kids and say, "We Jumpin' Together Kids". It was too funny. Then she'd follow up with that by trying to push them over... we're still working on how to make and keep friends:)
Megan & Hadley made a new friend though! 
Lauren has been really into playing house lately. It's pretty sweet too, she's actually really nice and gentle with her babies (I think she's more gentle with them than she is with Ben!).
The other day her baby just wouldn't nap so she had to feed her some more:) Then she burped her, changed her diaper, read her a story, and cuddled with her.
It's pretty cute to watch her take care of her babies. We're so proud of the little Mama! 
Lauren is starting to resist her naps from time to time. The other day she said she'd nap if she could sleep in the bean bag. We lugged it in her room and she fell fast asleep for 3 hours! I actually woke her up when I took this picture. We are trying to hold onto naps as long as we can, more because I need them, not her:)
We just thought Benny looked so cute in this pumpkin hat on loan from Hadley!
Guess it's still a little big:) 
Not sure if this is Ben or Baby Kevin:) They are looking more and more alike!
I thought he looked so cute in this shirt, I couldn't get a really good pic though but you get the idea! The orange brought out his hair and the blue brought out his eyes.
Kevin did a great job of painting this weekend and I LOVE the new colors! Now I want every room painted:)
This is the dinning room and it's still in progress but it is looking fabulous! I so want to go to Pottery Barn and buy every cute fall accessory that they have! 
Ben fell asleep while playing on his activity mat tonight! Rough day I guess!
He & Lauren couldn't be more different, she would have barely even played by herself, let alone feel asleep on her own. Amen for good babies!!!
Trying to get a good picture of these 3 is pretty much impossible!
Hadley LOVES Ben, in fact, LOVES doesn't even begin to explain it, more like OBSESSIVE LOVE! It is so cute, she wants to be with the "Babeeee" all the time. She's a good little mother to him.
I'm not sure who's more proud, Lauren or Kevin & I! She has been going potty in the "big girl potty" for 2 days now! I'm sure it will take more time to be "official" but we are so excited at the progress she's made.
She is so proud of her undies and wants to see other peoples now! She asked our 5 year old neighbor if she could see hers and when the girl said "no" Lauren got down and tried to look up her dress:) Two year olds are too funny!
Lauren and Ben on their first day of their sibling toddler group. They both had a great time and enjoyed meeting a bunch of new friends, Ben especially :)
Ben looks like such a big boy in his truck sweatshirt! He did turn 3 months old last week. He weighs 12 lbs, 6 oz and is just the sweetest little guy around.
Lauren wanted to feed Ben the other morning so we let her.
She is taking her job really seriously, Ben seems a bit worried though!
He also thinks it's kind of funny:)
Lauren & Hadley have a little routine of pulling chairs up the counter at Nana's so they can "help" her cook :)
They think they are so helpful! They are pretty cute together these days, they are becoming little buddies and it's very cute to see!
Lauren has been logging in some long hours at the office lately.
Here she is trying to figure out why our economy is sinking (sucking your thumb really helps!).
Apparently she got sick of her office job... she came in with my shoes on this morning and said, "I'm going to work to make some money".
Hmm... not sure what line of work she's in but I have a feeling if those shoes are part of the uniform she might make be making money than me!
Since heels really aren't all that comfortable she decided to go back to working on computers but made her office a little more fun!
