Thoughtless Thursday

I don't know if it is the weather or if it just being "run down" in general, but I am in a bit of a crabby mood today. Here is a random list of thoughts I have had today.

1. Why do husbands get sick? Is it punishment for something the wife has done at some point? Why are they worse than children when they are sick? Is it wrong of me to want him to leave the house and get away from all of us?

2. Why doesn't school end immediately after testing? The kids are so "over it" and aren't putting forth much effort. And Saturday school? Gross! That's my day to clean house and do laundry............guess who's gonna be stinky next week!

3. Is there a reason my son is obsessed with his yearbook? I didn't want to pay $25 for it but did........and it has been money well spent. He spends time everyday looking at it. He goes through saying "No" and "Yes" to all the pictures. I haven't figured out what that is yet.

4. Why am I obsessed with email? I check it 100 times a day it seems. Why? It's rare I get one that isn't something I need to do or a question I need to answer. The way I check it you would think $1 million was coming via email my way.

5. We've had enough rain, right? But still yet I have prayed for rain all week. Colby had a game scheduled for tonight and sadly it will run into Grey's season finalle. I did get my wish. All children will be asleep by 8 tonight!

6. Why am I so goofy? Today I was sitting at my desk idely sliding my flash drive in and out of it's container...........near my mouth...........and got my lip hung. Ouch. Yes, it's swollen. Yes, I'm that goofy.

Happy Thursday everyone! Sorry for the drab post!

Dear Cooper

(Check out this sweet onesie from my friend Sharon! It is the "Little Disciples" line and says "God made me special and my family spreads the word" on the front. Thanks Sharon!)

Well Cooper, welcome to four months old! This post is a whole week late because our lives are so busy right now I couldn't find time to blog. Between my graduate classes, Colby's t-ball, and church it seems that every day has something going on!

This month you started sleeping through the night EVERY SINGLE NIGHT!!! You go to bed around 9:00 and I wake you up at 6:00 during the week and on the weekends you sleep until 9:00 am! You don't know how happy this makes Mommy!

You have started baby food. So far you love your cereal, but only when your babysitter Ms. Leigh Anne fixes it. You love apples and carrots, but you can not stand green beans!



You have started spending a little more time in your exersaucer. You love talking to the pig on it!



You LOVE your mobile on your bed that Ms. Danielle let us borrow. You would lay and look at it forever if you could. That's what you do when Mommy is getting ready in the mornings and sometimes while I am fixing supper.

We use your Bumbo seat for everything. Whatever room I am in I just take you and the seat with me. You make doing the laundry a little more tolerable and you always laugh when me and Colby brush our teeth.



Speaking of Colby - you seem to just love him more each day. You watch every move he makes and you love to let him hold you. I will try and remember these times when you are fighting in a couple of years!



Only two more weeks of school and we will be home with you for the summer. Colby and I are really looking forward to it!

We love you more than words can say!

Love,
Mom

Thinking Things Through

I will admit it. Sometimes I don't really take the time to think things through. Last week I was getting ready to give Cooper his bath. The child loves to sit up so without a thought I grabbed the Bumbo seat and plopped it in the tub. Works well with 2 inches of water. Not so well with 4. Yes it floats. Yes I should have known better. And yes I risked the baby tipping over so that I could run and get my camera to take a picture of my stupidity (in my defense Colby was in the tub too and doing a great job of holding him so he didn't flip!)




So what silly thing have you not thought through? I know I'm not the only one who makes these silly mistakes!

Bye Bye Bad News Bears

We are at the start of Colby's second t-ball season and our team parents are thrilled to say bye bye to the Bad News Bears! Our team was so pitiful last year! They only won one game and most games ended with the score board turned off! They were super cute though and had fun so that is truly all that matters...............but this year they have improved SOOOOO much!!

The boys won their first game on Saturday April 17th with a heated 13 to 14 score! We were so proud of them! Colby made his first ever out playing first base! He also got four hits and three RBI's! I was so proud of my little slugger!

Their second game was on Thursday night and our boys did a great job. We didn't walk away with a win, but they played another great game!

I can see this "improvement" as a bad thing though..........it is likely to bring out the "crazy mom yelling in the stands" side in me and Jeremy just can't handle that! Here's to a great season for our sweet Cardinals! Enjoy the pictures!


Here is my little slugger! His favorite part is batting. He does very well most times!


Colby LOVES having a girl on our team this year (and she is VERY good!)


Jeremy is one proud Papa. He loves that he is able to be at all of the games this year.


Cooper got to go and watch the Thursday game. He was so good at the ball park.


I could just eat these two up! They are both wonderful boys! I am so blessed!

Dear Cooper

Well Cooper, this post is a whole week late (but the picture was taken on your exact 3 month old day). It seems that I do a lot of things late these days...your mom isn't coordinated enough to get everything done in a timely fashion. Let's just all be thankful that we have plenty of clothes to wear seeing as I only find time to do laundry every couple of weeks or so!

I do have better things to do with my time though. Now that I am working again when I get home from school all I want to do is play with you, Colby, and Daddy!

You are smiling all the time now and you have started laughing and it is the cutest sound in the world! You always seem to laugh at Colby and he loves doing silly things to get you tickled. You have also started talking up a storm in your sweet baby babble.




You have started sleeping all night about 5 out of 7 nights (and on those nights you only get up once)! This makes Mommy a much nicer person for those who have to
endure her during the day!




You love being naked but hate being on your tummy. You love your bouncy seat, bumbo, playmat, and swing but hate your exersaucer that I drove myself crazy trying to find.

We have started taking you places like the grocery store and the ball park on occasion and you are always great. In fact you are such a good baby that it is a bit scary for me and your dad................we are wondering when the other shoe will fall and you will turn on!



We love you and are enjoying every minute of having you in our family!

Love,
Mom

My Family Circus

My life is a circus. There are always a million things going on at once. As you know my boys are full of life. This week has offered a couple of Kodak moments from the sillies that my guys seem to get. Enjoy!

Colby is already torturing his little brother..........."Look Mom........he can fit in the Easter Egg!"


Jeremy picked Colby up by his legs. Jeremy ended up holding this.....(there are no legs in those pants!)


And Colby ended up looking like this!!!!!

A Full Plate

On Monday Jeremy had been outside doing yard work while I cooked super inside. When he came in I had made his plate for him (something I NEVER do.) Instead of saying "Thank you," the dear man I married launched into a lecture about how I should make his plate more often "because it's a woman's job to take care of her husband." After I saw red and steam rolled out my ears I picked up his plate, raked all of the food back into the pots, and dumped the empty plate in the sink. I think he learned his lesson.
