Ugg, double ear infection
Our little guy has a double ear infection. You'd never know it because he is happy and busy as ever. On one hand that's a good thing, on the other hand it's bad because he shows no signs. He has started his meds so he'll be good as new soon. I have an ear infection and sinus infection...I am ready to feel better. We are going to the Houston Stock Show and Rodeo this weekend. Johnny is so excited! It's going to be a fun weekend. Spring is coming soon. I see the trees turning green, flowers blooming and I can smell it in the air. I can't wait. This is my favorite time of the year.

It's been a long time...
It's been a very long time since my last post and so much has happened. We've had Christmas, started a New Year and just had Valentine's day. We had a great Christmas. Johnny, Cooper, me, and my mom went to Cabo for a week at Christmas. It was a great trip and Cooper had a blast. I think we all agreed we would not travel again at Christmas we did miss the family get together. Johnny got to go deep sea fishing and caught 3 fish, a local restaurant will prepare the fish for you and all you pay for is the preparation. It was delish! We did lots of hanging out at the pool which Cooper loved- he loves water. Johnny and I went whale watching one day and it was AWESOME. We saw several whales and at one time we could have touched a whale. Our guide got us so close.
Our new year was low key. We had an evening at home with our favorite little guy. Once he went to bed we ate our favorite junk food and played Wii Dance. It was fun but I was tired.
Life for us has been busy. Johnny's job is going well and we've adjusted to our new schedule. Cooper is doing great! He is talking like crazy, saying lots and lots of words. He pratically skipped walking and went right to running. He loves to dance, sing, play chase, he loves the bath, he loves to color and sit in our laps and read books. One of his favorite things to do is give Jack and Molly their treat each day when we leave for the day. He is starting to recognize people in pictures and he tries to say their name. It's super cute. When he sees a picture of him as a baby he says "baby". He has the sweetest little voice. If You're Happy and You Know It, Itsy Bitsy Spider and Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee are his favorite songs. Johnny drops Cooper off at school and I pick him up each day. He loves school and his teachers love him. We've had a few incidents at school over the last few months. The one that bothered us the most was Cooper was scratched by a little boy on the chest and it left about 1" in scratch. We were called and the mother of the child was called. When I picked Cooper up that day I saw the scratch and told the teacher that the nails of that child were too long if they left a scratch like that, she assured me that they told the mother she needed to clip his nails. Well, the next day we got a call again that Cooper was scratched, I immediately asked if it was the same child and the teacher could not tell me but, I knew it was. I then told her that I was assured that the mother was told to clip his nails and that obviously did not happen and that I was concerned because if the mother did not think clipping the child's nails were important what other hygiene things did she not find important. Ended up the school called the mom and told her she had to come up and clip the nails or she needed to take the child home. I would have been mortified! I was told that the mother saw Cooper's scratch and felt awful- SHE SHOULD FEEL AWFUL!
I have recently found out that a very dear friend of mine who has been trying to have a baby for the last year is struggling with infertility. She and her husband are devastated. They have great faith in God and they know He has a plan for them. I know that feeling of hearing "you will not get pregnant naturally" and I hate it for her. God did work a miracle for us, unfortunately, their infertility issues are more complicated. Please keep them in your prayers.
We've started our seach for the perfect land...we are finding it very difficult for banks to lend for just land and we are not ready to sell our house and buy an existing home on land. At this point we have decided to keep saving and when the time is right it will all work out.
I will try to keep up with my blogging more... I need to! I like it when I do.
