My boos

We put on our Sunday best today and had Christmas pictures taken. It used to be so much easier to do when they were babies...at least we got a few good ones. Merry Christmas from the boys!

Way to go Cooper!

We're so happy and proud of Cooper! Last week he had has evaluation with the public school system to determine if he would be eligible for "special" school for his speech. (Meaning he could qualify for free preschool at the local elementary school and receive speech therapy there) After meeting with a speech therapist for a year I am happy to say Cooper was ABOVE the normal range for his age! No more therapy is necessary for him at this time! YAY!

Brotherly love

It's not often that Andy's family is all together under one roof...so when most of them are together there is usually a lot of cameras going off! This is Andy and his two younger brothers.

Winter Wonderland

After Cooper's party on Saturday we went out to Andy's mom's work. They were having a "winter festival". They brought in tons of snow, had Santa, hot chocolate, Christmas tree lighting, you name it they had it! The boys threw snowballs at each other and Charlie couldn't believe it when Santa actually waved to him!!

My poopsie turned 3

I can't believe how fast time flies. On the 5th Cooper turned 3! We had a fun little party at home for him ( a WALL-E party to be exact) all of his little friends came and all of our family. It was a beautiful day, and we all had a lot of fun.


Before the party started we had to decorate. The boys had a lot of fun with balloons...

No, I didn't do this! Of course it was my mom.

We had TWO bounce houses and our swingest (plus all the normal stuff laying around the backyard) It was quite the party house!

Superstar!

Charlie picked out his outfit before school on this day, and he just really wanted me to take pictures of him. This last one reminds me of Mary Catherine Gallagher...Superstar!

Daily Charlie

Charlie just told me this on his way to school:

"Mom, when I am ten, I want to live in the forrest. But when I am thirteen, I wanna move to the snow. And when I'm grown up and get to be a daddy I have to live in Florida."

I guess I raised a traveler.

Big League Dreams

It's been awhile. Oops.

This past weekend my cousin Marcy was in town from San Antonio. We visited this place. So cool! We went because my brother Trevor just got a new job there and and he wanted to show off his beautiful family...!! The kids had fun, they got baseballs, flags, popcorn, hot dogs- the usual "baseball stadium" stuff. The boys also loved visiting with Marcy. I don't think they quite realize she's related to them, because I think they would both choose to have her as their girlfriend! Nonetheless, she was a great sport and played endlessly with them.

Trick or Treat

WALL-E and BUZZ!!

Yes, this year Charlie dressed up like Buzz Lightyear and Cooper was Wall-e and a bee. (Two years in a row now my children have had "costume changes" during trick-or-treat) Nana did a great job on the costumes, like she always does, and the kids got so many "oh, that is an awesome costume kid" They got lots of candy, which we're trying to not blow through!

Pumpkin Patch

Since 1999, Andy and I have gone to schnepf farms. This year was no exception. The boys always have a blast and get to pick out their pumpkins. They rode rides, played on playgrounds, went in a huge corn maze, and ate some good kettle corn! Such a great tradition.

What a day

1. I voted for the first time today-Yay!!
2. Cooper has now decided he is potty-trained double yay!!
3. Andy got (another) new job
Definitely a big day for us around here. Trick or treat pictures to come soon!

Greer revisited

Happy Birthday Duncan

Ol' Brutus turned two! We had a little party for him, complete with birthday cake.

A little girls dream finally comes true!!

It finally happend, it only took TWENTY years! Last night I was able to go to my first New Kids On The Block concert. What a blast! Jen, Kristin, and I loved every second of it, and so did every other female there. They sang all the "oldies" and even the newbies. I've never screamed or danced so much in my life. We ended up having amazing seats on the floor...it was soooo cool.

Having a good 'ol time

This isn't the best video, but it's classic to see how "shaky" it is! (The shakiness comes from me shaking my behind!!)
