Fishing Adventure

Boz's brother and his family just bought a new house that has a pond! Needless to say we are all excited! We went fishing with MiMi and PaPa to show them Cooper's fisherman skills. He loves it! At the end we through bread to the fish which was a crazy sight. The sunfish were like little puranas and the catfish like little sharks eating whole pieces of bread! Cole was loving it!

Easter 2009

Easter was great! Cooper practiced for a couple of weeks before the big day Easter egg hunting in our living room. We had so much fun spending time with Kris' family.

Cole's 1st Haircut

As you can see from the picture, Cole has grown a nice mullet. We've been dying to get it cut and today was the day. He did surprisingly well. He loved the comb and just sat and chewed on it while sweet miss debbie cut his hair. Great job Cole!

My Baby is Growing Too Fast!

Our little Cole really cracks us up. He is so sweet and loveable and just laughs at himself and others constantly! We really have so much fun with him and are somewhat sad that he has taken his first steps this week and will be celebrating his 1st birthday in less than a month!

Cooper's 3rd Birthday

Cooper had a birthday extravaganza. Three parties in three days. Needless to say he loved the cake, presents, family and friends. His #1 request was a Steelers football helmet. He had no real understanding but the Steelers did win their 6th Super Bowl on his actual birthday!

Christmas in Texas

We sadly had to return to the cold this week after spending a wonderful time with my family in Texas! We had so much fun as always. We had several surprises: Both sets of my aunts and uncles came to see us and 2 of my cousins with thier beautiful daughters (my cousins I had not seen in at least 5 years!), my parents watched ALL the kids for us and Shelley, Ryan, Boz and I got to go out to dinner for the first time ever!, and then our little Cooper threw up the WHOLE plane ride home! What a surprise that was! Boz was nudging me as I was obviously trying to snooze (he couldn't speak he was in such shock) and pointing to Coop. Needless to say the extra change of clothes I brought only lasted 30 minutes before we needed another set. What misery. My sweet husband cleaned Coop, the poor car seat and his new sweater every time.

We convinced Luke that he needed to wear a Steelers jersey with Coop for the big game on Sun. He looked at me and asked "Are they called the Steelers because they steal everything?". Big fan can you tell?

Christmas

We had such a wonderful Christmas! Cole loved the wrapping paper and we loved Cooper's excitement. He loved everything and wanted each one to be taken out of the box so we could play with it instantly. The last gift was a bike. We had wrapped it up so when he started taking the paper off and noticed it was a bike he started yelling and jumping up and down "It's a bike, it's a bike!". It was priceless- one of my favorite Christmas memories!!!
