Two heads are better than one?

Well, I still haven't tried to find the USB cord and my g drive is still not operating, so no pictures yet...So I thought I would share something that I am doing. I am taking Real Estate classes. Steve and I have always planned on doing this someday and we decided that now was better than never. I have to say though that child bearing has taken a toll on my brain, and I am wondering how in the world I am going to remember everything...there is so much information! I am excited to be able to work with Steve and still be able to be a stay at home mom (which is what I truly love!) But I am excited too, to have the opportunity to play with adults a couple of days a week! So if anyone is looking for a Realtor I should be of service by the beginning of June. Kenzie if you want to go house hunting for fun...I'm up for it! Anyway that's what's new here!

Cooper's Story



















Thank you Emily for tagging Coop! He is such a funny little boy and I honestly cannot believe how much he has grown up in only 2 short, fast years! I really don't even know where to start. He is a sports fanatic! It started out with this huge obsession over basketball during last years March Madness, that is when he started saying, "Backetball" every few seconds. It has now morphed over the past year into all things sports. He amazes me when he jumps on the ottoman and tells me he's snowboarding, or when he slides across the floor on his feet and informs us that he is surfing. Ping pong anyone? Because he pretends that he is playing that too. He has the amazing ability to turn anything into a basketball though! He "shoots" clothes from my laundry basket over our towel rack in our bath, now that is stretching it. We have one other obsession and that is trains! Thomas the tank engine is talked about alot! We bought Coop a train table for Christmas and now he will lock himself away in his room for an hour at a time playing trains. He is a super snuggly kid and wants a snuggle all the time, I really hope that never goes away. Lately he has learned to swallow air and burp, I really don't know where he learned this, Steve and I really don't do this! But the burps are always followed up by a loud, "Scuse Me" speaking of loud he also yells instead of sincerely says, "Sorry" when he does something wrong. And I know that something has been spilled or tipped over when he comes into the room out of the blue saying, Sorry Mama. He loves to be thrown around and wrestle with dad. He loves to play with other kids, but not kids his own age, he likes older kids. He loves to be outside and begs every chance he gets to go out and throw rocks in the pond, ride bikes, blow bubbles, swing on the swings, or color on the sidewalk. He is a parrott and repeats EVERYTHING!! The other day he told me to, "Look at me when I'm talking to you!" He also comes into the room and immediately asks, "What you doing?" I could go on for days but I won't. I never knew how much I would love him, and I am amazed with everyday that that love deepens. I can't imagine, now would I want a day without him. He is the sunshine and the sparkle of everyday and I love to see how the world is looking through his eyes. He is so quick to forgive and smile and I hope that he always carries that wonderful love and passion. I love you Cooper! Love, Mom

NO PHOTO!!

Ok so I haven't posted in a while and it's killing me because I have so many pictures that I would like to share, but there is a problem. For some reason our G drive (the one I usually insert my memory card into) is not working. So if someone smarter than I has any ideas on how I can get pictures onto my computer without having to insert my memory card into my G drive then I would love to hear them, until then I will have to wait for Steve to bring home the laptop. I hope to post soon!

SHENANIGANS!!








Wrestling has become the name of the game around here! I can hardly wait for wrestling to include another little boy! The shirt over the head was a big hit and the source of a lot of laughing! So if you come over and want to win Cooper's affections just put him in a half nelson and yank his shirt over his head!


And here is a little photo of a cute boy we like to call Squishy aka..Payton.
