Dead Head

My mom's garden is full of daylillys and ever day you have to go out and "dead head" that mornings bloom. Cooper loves to help out and always has to bring a few inside. Look at that handsome boy......we love him.

Summer Fun!

Cooper is having such a great summer. Most of our time is spent outside where he loves to run around and play in the water. The last picture of the lizard is the type we've been trying to catch all summer. They are so fast and they like to hide...maybe we'll get one soon. He calls them all "George" and tell us "find wizard"...."see him"! Ice cream is always a fun messy treat and we just hose him off when he's done making a mess!

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY COOP!

We had a bowling party with our family and friends to celebrate our big boy turning 2. Everyone had a great time and the kids loved to bowl and eat pizza and chicken fingers! We only have about 5 weeks till we move so this was a nice way to get everyone together for one last party. We'll miss our NY friends and family and have been so blessed to be able to share our lives with them. Cooper had his "best friend" Brynn there to help him blow out his candles. Brynn is my friend Libby's daughter. Libby and I have known each other for 13 years and it's so special to see our children become friends.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

It's started to get a little warmer here and we are so happy to be able to play outside again. Cooper would stay out all day if we let him! We took this picture over at G.G and Papoolie's house. Cooper was "helping" with the spring cleaning.

Bathtime Fun

Enjoy this latest video from bathtime. It sounds like he inherited his mommy's laugh.

The Artist Formerly Known as Cooper

Cooper decided the best way to express the turmoil of almost being two was to get a non washable black marker and draw on his hands! I always said I would do the best job of keeping pens and markers "up high" and my kid would NOT be the one writing on walls and furniture. HaHa!!!! Guess the lack of sleep is catching up to me......NO HE STILL IS NOT SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!
