Productive Weekend

We had a very productive weekend. We woke up Saturday morning and Scott cooked french toast. Yum!!! We got dressed and headed to town. We had a few things to get before we could get to work around the house. We went to Lowe's and got Cooper a fan and Scott put it up. I have never seen a black fan before but we got one. Maybe it won't show dust too bad. I got some paint for the baseboards and painted them tonight. Scott got the yard all mowed and sprayed for weeds.

I really like it alot!!!

We also went to Hobby Lobby and got a frame for Coopers picture. I absolutely love this picture and am so glad to finally hang it up. By the way the picture is hung strait on the wall, I just had the camera crooked when I took it I guess.

Then most importantly we got to spend some time playing with Cooper. I thought these pictures were cute of Cooper gnawing on Scott's ear. He loves to grab your hair and bite on anything he can get his mouth on.

Cooper has started squealing when he is excited and playing. It is so funny and he is getting really loud.

Cooper has a new Pony

My parents bought Morgan (my niece) a pony for her birthday last year. Well, today when my Mom got home at lunch there was a new baby pony. She told me the other day she thought Ginger was pregnant because her belly was so big and she was bagging up. They did not know but I guess she was pregnant when they bought Ginger. So now Cooper and Kennedy have a new pony. Isn't he cute!!! I can't wait to see him in person. I have never seen a baby pony before!!!

Look what Cooper's doing and visit with Gana and PaPaw

Cooper loves to drink water out of a cup. He tries to grab your cup anytime you get a drink.

Cooper is sitting up now! He still tumbles over sometimes.

Learning to stand holding onto things.

Like my new hair cut?

Cooper's first haircut. He had a few long strands of hair that I had to cut off.

Checking to see if I got enough to put in the baby book.

He can hold his bottle!

Cooper is really starting to change and do a lot more. This weekend my parents came to visit. It had been about a month since we have seen them. He showed off all of his new tricks to Gana and PaPaw. There are some good pictures on my parents blog of Cooper and his grandparents. I didn't take any pictures. I started getting sick on Friday with allergies or a cold and now both Cooper and Scott have it. Cooper is such a good baby. He threw up last night because of his reflux and didn't even cry. I cry when I throw up. It hurts!

Great Wolf Lodge

The Johns family came down for spring break. Yesterday we went shopping since Abilene does not have many stores. It was so cold and rainy. By the evening the kids were getting tired so we dropped Whitney off at Steinmart and Jason and I took the kids home. Jason helped get them a bath and then went and picked Whitney back up. They were all asleep when they got back. They were tired and all slept until 8:30 this morning. Scott had to work so the Johns family, Cooper, and I headed to Grapevine to the Great Wolf Lodge. This place is awesome! It is an indoor water park and lodge. We had a blast and all the kids loved it. Needless to say we were all tired when it was time to go. Cooper fell asleep pretty quick in the car on the way home and slept the whole hour home. That is unsusual for him to sleep in the car so well. I gave him a bath when we got home at about 6 and he was ready for bed. Thanks for coming down. We are so glad we got to spend time with you all. We have not seen them since Christmas.

New Paint

I started painting my bathroom last week while Scott was gone to Houston and while Cooper was asleep at night. I finally got it done with a little help from Scott to reach the tall spots. At one point I was on Scott's shoulders and he was standing on the bathtub so I could reach. He started hearing this cracking noise and said we met the weight limit for the bathtub. The fiber glass was cracking! Thank goodness it did not put a crack where you can see it. I was laughing so hard could not even hurry up and finish.


Then on Friday we had a crew coming to paint the rest of our house. Everything is painted except the office and guest room. Scott refused to paint it and I hated the flat white paint we had so we had it painted a basic tan. We were going to paint our bedroom to match our bathroom and Scott decided he did not want to do that either so we got the painters to paint it too. I am glad it is all finished. We spent Saturday deep cleaning the house and putting it all back together.

Formal Dining. The blue looks alot brighter in this picture.

Daddy pulling me around the house!!!

Mommy and Cooper went to the park down the street today.

"Look at my tongue."

"Hi Daddy!"

This is when Cooper first saw his Daddy after getting home from Houston. It's so sweet!!!

"Peek-a-boo!"

I put Cooper down for a nap and went back to check on him to see if he was asleep and this is what he was doing. I was laughing so hard and ran and got my camera.

"I'm supposed to be going to sleep but I think I'll chew on the bumper pad."

Daddy putting me to night, night.

Stock Show and Visit to Mimi and Pops

We were at Daddy's old stomping grounds at the county stock show. Cooper liked the lambs.

Look at me I'm so big!

Playing with Uncle Chad.

This weekend we went to see Scott's parents and go see his cousin Cody at the stock show. He did really well. Cooper was very observant and just watched everything. We went to HEB on Saturday morning to get George Strait tickets and believe it or not we got them. We are going for our anniversary in June.
