Easter Pictures

We got our Easter pictures made on Saturday. We have a great time. Coooper got to play with a bunny and hunt Easter eggs. Landree and our friend Jackson (Yak, Yak as Cooper calls him) were there to share in all the fun. For more pictures, go to natuallywonderful.com, Easter pictures day 3.
We did have something scary happen though. When we were leaving, Cooper fell and busted his lip open. It looked really bad. He had a huge, gapping hole on the inside of his lip and blood was everywhere. Luckily were downtown close to the Children's Hospital. This would be our 2nd trip to the ER. On the way to the hospital, I called our peditrician and they said that unless it went all the way through his lip they would not do stitches and she told us somethings we could do to help it. Popsicles.... good for Cooper. So long story short, I was just a freaked out mom.

Cooper and Jackson

Cooper was really good at finding the eggs. He would find them, put them in his basket, and go to look for more. Unfortunately, when he would leave to look for more, the other kids would take his eggs and put them in thier baskets. Poor Cooper, he worked so hard.

Good job, that's 2.

Hair cut time again

This is actually Cooper's 2nd hair cut. He had his 1st one in Novemeber. Michael was actually more upset about it than I was so this time we just went for a little trim. We took him to Patience, the girl who cuts my hair. He did a great job. He sat as still as he could.... which is not still at all.... and he never cried. He even got a sucker for his efforts. This is a real treat in Cooper's eyes.
Today is also Cooper's 21 month birthday. Happy Birthday little man!!!

Secrets

Shhhhhhh! Don't tell Jennifer Gray but this is what Cooper had for breakfast this morning. The words child abuse would probably be running through her head right about now. Just kidding. She is just crazy about food allergies. I kid her all the time that Landree is going to grow up saying, "what about my food allergies".
I'm starting to see a not so good trend with our breakfast choices. First cupcakes, now peanuts.

Cooper & Landree sit'n in a tree, kissing.....

These are some pictures of Cooper and Landree from last Monday and this Monday. We just love it when Landree is here. They play and have the best time together.

They had been coloring in the living room. I walked into my room to get something and when I came back, they were gone. A guick search revealed 2 kids sitting in the corner with their heads down. At that time, I became a little concerned but to my surprise all of my walls were the same color and still remained pen strip free.

I'm not really sure what this all about. It was right before nap time so maybe this was a suttle hint?

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Yesterday was Michael's birthday. We had a great time. We had cupcakes for breakfast and Michael opened his present before he left for work. We all meet and had lunch together at San Jose, our favorite. That afternoon, I surprised Michael with a night out. Jeff, Jennifer and Landree came over to stay the night with Cooper so we could go out. We went to a movie (Vantage Point- very good), dinner and then to our hotel. We slept in until 8:30, ate a huge breakfast, and then did some shopping. I think I had more fun than Michael did. Evidence of the crime.

Cupcakes are a healthy breakfast.. right?

I'll help you daddy.

A drum roll please.

Cooper, I'll show you how to use this one day.

(Daddy got a new scope for his gun)

I've been watching you.

Cooper will do anything his Daddy does. He has learned to cross his arms. Thursday Michael was outside talking to the the pest control people when he looked up at Cooper and noticed that he was standing there looking back at him with his arms crossed. Michael looked down and realized that he had his own arms crossed. Monkey see, monkey do.

My week with Nana

We had a great week with Nana. I had to work on Tuesday so Cooper and Nana spent the whole day playing together. Wednesday we went to the mall. Cooper loves the mall because he gets to eat at Chick-fil-a and ride the carousel. This time was extra fun because he got to ride with Nana. Thursday I had to work some more, so Cooper and Nana huge out again. We all went to eat that night and Cooper got to try Crispy Creme donuts for the first. Of course he loved them. He kept saying and signing...more, more. On Friday, Cooper and daddy had a boys day while Nana and Mommy had a girls day. The girls went and got a pedicure and then went house shopping. We had a fun time. I'm still praying that Nana will one day decide to move here. Maybe Cooper can keep buttering her up. Then, so sad, Saturday Nana had to go home. We had a great time and look forward to our next visit.

Nana thought Cooper needed a new ball.

Fun, fun!
