Vacation Fun!!!

We went to the Beach in June and we had the best time! The boys absolutely loved the beach or "the big sandbox" as Coop called it. We are so fortunate that they enjoyed it as much as they did. They are already asking when they can go back. LOL!

Catching Up

Oh me, Oh my how time flies! I feel like I am always playing catch up on our blog! Here are some collages of what we have been doing since October. The holidays kept us extremely!

The boys dressed up as Buzz and Woody. We trick or treated at our church during Trick or Trunk. Mack was not happy and cried the whole time. Coop, however had a blast! My 9th and 10th grade girls and Courtney Cox's 7th and 8th grade girls Sunday school class hosted a vehicle together. We had a prirate theme based on Children are God's greatest treasure! We all had a good time and can't wait for next years fun!

Coop turned 2 on January 23rd and everyone had a blast at his birthday party! We traveled to Tupelo to the Build-A-Bear store, and built bears of all kinds. We had cats, bunnies, puppies, and bears. All the kids warmed their animals hearts and put them in coopies dog so that he would always know they loved him. They rubbed their bears belly so it would never be hungry, rubbed their knees so that they would always need them and lots of other cute little things. When they were done they ate chick-fila and the cutest tractor cake ever! Then on to play at the playground and ride the Carousel! It was a great way to celebrate our sweet little Cooper!

Woah buddy, did we have some serious fun at Christmas! The boys both were so excited Christmas morning! This was the first year that Mack has requested specific items from Santa and Santa really went overboard. Brian said he was gonna have to have a serious talk with him before next year! LOL! Honey gave them the cute leather recliners and trust me, she has already gotten her monies worth out of them because they sit in them every night and watch a movie before bed. It was a great holiday and we were so excited to spend it with all our families!

Mack's First Fish

Mack, Brian & Pop went fishing labor day weekend. Mack practiced casting his fishing line in the back yard for weeks before they actually went, and all his practice paid off. He caught his first fish. He was so proud and so were we! Our little man is growing up!

Cooper Makes His Mark on the World

His First Big Boy Haircut!

He & Mack thought it would be fun to cover Cooper and his ENTIRE room with baby powder!!! We were just thankful that it wasn't vaseline! He looks like a little ghost!

He gives potty time it's on meaning! Brian found him standing in the potty and he was saying "Peepee potpot". All bathrooms are totally off limits now!

Where & What Have We Been Doing?????

We have not fallen off the face of the earth, but this mama has been super busy. Here is an overview of what we were doing from April until the end of June.

In April, Mack went on a horse ride with Papa

Mack's 3rd birthday party in Baldwyn with all his cousins.

Mack's 3rd birthday party with his buds at Cedar Hill Farms

Easter & A million different egg hunts. This was Cooper's first year to get to hunt eggs and boy did he love it!

In May Cooper had tubes put in his ears.

Lots of outside fun during our wonderful May weather.

Double Decker!!! The boys loved it and were pooped out from all the fun!

Mother's Day Weekend! The kids made flower pots with their handprints on it for their grandmother and great grandmother. I got a monogram machine for mommy's day, so I put a pic of that on there too.

Mommy had a weekend of fun with some girlfriends at our Jr. Auxiliary Annual Education Conference. I love these sweet girls!

June 4, 2010. Our 5 yr anniversary. We went for a little getaway to Tunica to see Deirkes Bentley in concert. A sweet friend gave us some back stage passes so that we could meet him. It was such a special weekend.

Summer Slip-N-Slid Fun!

June 23, 2010. Mack had his much awaited surgery to remove his kidney. It was initially scheduled for June 3rd, but he was sick with a high fever and it had to be rescheduled. He was a super patient and did everything we asked him to do. He loved the orange popscicles and was really excited that they would give them to you anytime you asked, even if it was 2 o'clock in the morning. By the next day, he was slowly starting to move around and wanting to make funny faces, as you can see in the pics. He did so well that we were able to leave the hospital on the 24th to head home. I am sooooo glad that we have this behind us now. God was so good to us!

Iron Chefs

My Little Iron Chefs. They love to pull everything imaginable out of the cabinets while I am cooking.

My Weekend Helpers

Mack is making sure all the measurments are just right!

Cooper is reading off the instructions to the rest of the gang.

Our finished project - Cooper's new drapes!

This was my first attempt at sewing anything this large, and I was really surprised and delighted at how well they turned out! Step 2, Mack's room!
