Laura - One of my favorite Aggies

My sweet girlfriend came up from Galveston to have meet Paige and have lunch. We had a wonderful time and went to Old Town Spring and saw all of the Christmas decorations! It's fun when you have friends you haven't seen for 2 years and can meet up and pick up right where you left off. Too bad she didn't bring any Lucky Charms!!! ;)

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was very entertaining this year with Coop man! Although there are some trying times, his little personality sure is developing and it is AWESOME to watch! I think he may be a bit loud and outgoing?! A couple of my favorite memories are listed below:

1 - I had talked with Cooper about what we are thankful for a couple of days prior to Thanksgiving. We talked about family and trains, trains and more trains!! So the morning of Thanksgiving I was getting Cooper dressed and asked him what he was thankful for and he responded out of nowhere with 'BIRFDAY CAKE'!! He then told me how much he loved birthday cake and they were so yummy! Of course, I died with laughter!!

2 - Dad was cutting up the turkey with the electric knife and Cooper was fascinated so he stood on a stool and watched. About the time the turkey 'cavity' was revealed Cooper started yelling, "Tunnel! Tunnel!" Jeri immediately knew what he was talking about. As most of you know, Cooper is obsessed with trains and so he LOVES tunnels. Jeri told him it was a 'turkey tunnel' and we have heard about the 'turkey tunnel' ever since.

4 - We all decided Paige is an angel because she is a GREAT sleeper and puts up with all us loud people!

Amanda is home in TEXAS!!

Weekend at the Park

The kiddos and I had AMAZING weather this weekend, so we spent most of Saturday afternoon at the park. Cooper has always loved to be outside but watching his personality and imagination blossom is so fun especially when he is outside. He is hilarious! He talks and talks and continues talking on and on. I don't know where he gets that from!!






Excuse Cooper's outfit, he dresses himself these days which I think is adorable!




Paige slept and slept and slept..





Cooper considers himself Spiderman!

Silly Coop

These days when Cooper is silent you know he is into something! The other evening he was mute for a little while so I went to check on him and this is what I found...

Sweet Big Brother

Every morning Cooper wakes up and asks to see 'baby -ister'. So we quitely go and check on her. Right about the time we begin to peek he decides to poke her belly and tell her to 'get up -ister'. It is precious and I love watching him interact with her. Fortunately, she does not fall for big brother's sneaky ways and continues to sleep. Yes Debbie, Paige is asleep in my bed...relax, I had just changed her diaper!

Little Dude's Mohawk!

The day has come where Cooper got his first haircut at 2 years and 3 months old! Initially, he was a bit hesistant to sit in the chair but once he got to spray Amanda with the water bottle and suck on a lollipop it was giggles galore. He did an awesome job! What is even cuter is he now sports a little dude's MOHAWK!
