Cooper gives kisses

To himself in the mirror. I did not get to see it, but Johnny did. And when he does it he even makes the kiss sound. So cute! He is becoming quite the little ham. I am afraid he is going to be the class clown. Last night he put his graham cracker on his head and laughed and this morning he put his bowl on top of his head and laughed. He is silly and makes my heart smile SO BIG that sometimes I think it's going to pop out of my chest. We've been super busy lately and it is only going to get busier as summer approaches. We have summer hours that start the Friday before Memorial Day and I can't wait. It does mean that I have to work an hour more each day so I can leave at noon on Friday, but that is ok. I am going to used the half day Friday's for myself. My38th birthday is this Sunday. 38! Not sure what I thought 38 was going to feel like, but I don't feel old...well, ok there are days that I feel really old, but I think I am still hip. Happy 38th birthday to me! We are going to put our house on the market again. Please say a prayer that we can sell it pretty fast. We are not completely sure of our next plans, but until our house sells we can't really make any plans. Happy Thursday!

I love this little guy with ALL my heart!

Mother's Day and drinking from the water hose...

We had a nice weekend. On Saturday morning Cooper had soccer. This was his 2nd time to go and it was a little better. He will get it soon enough. It's tough to keep him interested after the stretching exercises. Oh well, it's fun. On Saturday afternoon we went to Haslet Wild West Fest in town. We got there an hour earlier than we should have. We wanted to see the rodeo, but we were losing Cooper so we came home early. Today we went to church, a quick lunch and the grocery store for dinner stuff. Steaks, twice baked potatoes and fresh corn. We are making dinner right now. We had some struggles getting Cooper down to bed. Not sure the late nap was a good idea. I got an ice cream maker for Mother's day and tonight I made vanilla ice cream. It's in the freezer and I can't wait to eat some.

Today was hot so we got Cooper dressed in his swimming suit and played in the water. Johnny taught him how to drink water from the water hose. Here are some new pictures.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in the world. I am so grateful to have the most wonderful mom in the world. If I am half the mom she was then I will be doing good. I am also blessed with a wonderful stepmom and mother-in-law. Blessed beyond words.

I said I would never...

When I experienced my first spring in Texas and saw people pulled off the side of the highway to take pictures in the bluebonnets I said I would NEVER take bluebonnet pictures and I would especially NEVER pull off to the side of the highway to do them. Well, I caved and had bluebonnet pictures taken this year. NO, not on the side of the highway, but in a beautiful field. I am so happy with how the pictures turned out. I am already starting to plan what we will wear next year. The bluebonnets are only really pretty for a few weeks so timing has to be just right to take them. Enjoy some of our pictures.
