First time at the Lake!

Life has just been one thing after another...

We were crazy to even think about moving with a 4 month old...We were even crazier to really follow through with our plans! We moved to the next street over about 5 weeks ago. This is one reason we have been so slack with the blog! The same week, I started back at work! It was not the best week of my life, however, the Lord helped me through it and I have enjoyed my last several weeks with my children. Mom has kept Cooper--What a blessing! She has been great, and we can't thank her enough! I only have 2 more days of school, and then I get to live my dream of being a stay at home momma! I praise the Lord for blessing me with this wonderful opportunity!
Here are some pictures from the last several weeks!

One of my students gave Cooper this outfit...It is one of my favorites!

Love 'em!

Cooper loved the lake!

Studyin' the water...just like his daddy!

Father-Son time...

He has found his toes, and is so amazed with them...I love it!

My New Cousin

We had a blast in Alabama!

Here are just a few pictures from our road trip...
Can't wait to see them again SOON!

Cooper and Sadie at their first photo shoot! There will be many more to come!!

By picture # 9,000 they were getting tired!

Cooper watching Lifetime...Sadie chillin'...

PRECIOUS!

I can't get enough of him!

Where's Sadie?
All bundled up in the wrap that Mom made us!

Crazy as always...

I can't get enough of him either!


Luke always likes to out do everybody :)....sooo.....
Here is his gourmet meal that he fixed us (Supposedly, this is what Ashley eats all the time!) It was delicious!

Cooper's first time at the beach! We had a great time...
Alabama beaches are beautiful!


We had to keep Sadie and Cooper are bundled up...It was a little cold!

Beautiful sunset!

Hangin' Out...

After a fun weekend with his new cousin, Cooper was pooped!
(He was a trooper on our 12 hour trip there and back...
Here is what he did most of the time!)

Fun Random Pictures!

We thought that since Cooper could hold his head up and liked to move around, that he would like a Johnny Jumper--Well, we might wait just a couple more weeks...Notice his head is where his arms should be resting!

We had so much fun giving Cooper his first bubble bath!

Cooper loves his daddy!

My Little Man!!!

Wow!

The other day I saw a picture of Cooper and was absolutely amazed at how much he has changed over the past 10 weeks. It is awesome how the Lord has had His hand over Cooper from the very beginning, and has kept him strong and healthy through it all! We give Him complete honor and praise for all He has done for us, and continually thank Him for our blessings!

Here are a few "Then and Now" pictures of our "Little Peanut"!

Easter 2008

Cooper getting ready to go to church!


The beautiful centerpiece that Momma made for Easter!

Cooper in his Easter outfit...

Grandma and Cooper taking a Sunday afternoon rest...
(Notice we said "rest". Napping is not something that Little Peanut likes to do these days...instead he looks around at his bumper pads and mobile for a couple of hours!
I guess that's more fun!)

After a long morning, Cooper decided to rest up at Grandma's and Papa's!

Katie and Joel enjoying the beautiful Easter weather!

Easter Egg Time!

We had fun dying Easter eggs at Grandma and Papa's house!

Cooper's special egg that says "Little Peanut"!

Cooper lookin' up at Daddy while he shows him his other special egg!
(Don't you just love the sticker that Steven decorated him with!)

Papa time!

Grandma time!

Our Little Monkey!

Momma and Joel acting crazy!

Cooper letting Daddy know he is tired and ready to go home!
