Mother's Day Weekend (and more)!

The last couple weekends have been so busy, I need to play catch up for a minute...

 

Last Saturday, I ran a local 5K  in downtown Arkadelphia.  It was freezing!  Who would have thought it would be that cold in May but it was.  I was still happy though because I ran my fastest time to date and came in second for my age group.

And I had the best 2 cheerleaders there cheering me on!

 

On Sunday, we headed to Spring hill for Henry's birthday party.  They had pony rides...At first Cooper was all about it.  He loved sitting on the pony, but when the pony started to move...He had a meltdown!

I got this picture right before the pony started walking so he's still smiling here! HA!

 

After he finally calmed down, we talked him in to getting on the carriage ride.  This he liked!!  But, of course, daddy had to ride with him :)

Too cute!

 



And he is always happy when there is cake!

 

 

This I had to post just because its so cute and it melts my heart....

 

Coop loves lawn mowers, especially his daddy's lawn mower!

 

I have a feeling he's going to be a yard man like his daddy! :)

 

This weekend we celebrated my birthday and Mother's Day.  Friday night we grilled burgers at Poppa and Nana's for my birthday. We had a great time!

 

Love this little man!  Poppa got him this hat and he LOVES it! :)

 The boys worked on putting together a swing set for the kids and Coop had fun playing with all the parts!

This picture cracks me up!  Kinley and Coop are looking at MC like she's crazy! LOL!

 

Sunday morning, I was treated to a pancake breakfast for Mother's Day!

 

He loved stirring the pancakes!

 

My chefs for the morning!

 

After breakfast, it was off to church.  Aunt Brooke stopped by to help us get a family photo all together, but these days it seems almost impossible to get everyone smiling and looking at the camera at the same time....

 



I think I like this one better.  Coop wanted to show everyone his belly.  Silly boy!

Me and my sweet boy!  I'm so lucky to be his mommy!

 What a face..he looks like he ate something sour :)

 

Later that evening, my mom and I went out for a girl's dinner to celebrate my birthday/Mother's Day.

 



I love our Mother/daughter dinners!

Our Fun Weekend!

We started our weekend off with Clark county Relay for Life Friday night.  This event is extra special for our family because Eric's mom and sister are both cancer survivors.

 

Coop had fun walking the laps on the track :)

 Coop and his 2 favorite survivors!

 



 He loved this little M&M man!

 

Saturday morning, we loaded up with Mimi and Pawpaw for a road trip to Cotter for my niece's birthday party.  I can't believe she is 8 years old!! Happy birthday Kiya Rose!

 

 He had a blast sliding with Hunter

 



I could NOT get him to smile

 He loved this thing.  If only his feet would have reached the pedals! LOL!

 

Silly boy!

 Still no smile for a picture with Mama.  Oh well..

 

Cruising in the pink convertible!

This picture cracked me up with all the bunny ears going on!

The birthday girl!

 Blowing out her candles!

 

Love my sweet Kiya!

 Coop was in heaven playing on this trampoline.  This entertained him all night

 

Crazy kid!

The 3 amigos!

Coop doesn't get to see his cousins as much as we would like because we live 4 hours apart so it was great they all got to spend time together and play

 

We had such a fun weekend! It went by way too fast.  Hope everyone has a great week!

22 MONTHS!

Cooper turned 22 months old this week! He has really started to talk and put words together into tiny sentences.  And he is a little recorder!  He repeats EVERYTHING you do or say.  And he remembers everything! He keeps us on our toes daily and we love every minute of it!! :)

 

Snotty nose boy :)

 

 Do I really have to smile?

 I'm just gonna rock out instead!

 

Okay fine, I'll smile so you will stop taking pictures!

Gosh I love that smile! :)

 

Turkey season opens up this weekend so Eric taught Coop how to call a turkey...

 

 

You make me laugh every day Cooper man! Happy 22 months! We love you!

Hoppy Easter 2013!

We had such a good Easter weekend! On Wednesday we headed to Hot Springs so Coop could have his picture taken with the Easter Bunny.  He wasn't a fan of Santa so I wasn't sure if he would do it.  He did but he wasn't too sure about it.....

 This was taken about 2 seconds before he started crying :)

On Saturday, we went to Nonee and Pepaw's to dye Easter eggs with Aunt Kay Kay and Reece.  He loved throwing the eggs in the dye and making a mess :) 

Sunday morning the Easter bunny came!  He gave Coop an Elmo Easter basket filled with Elmo Easter eggs and his very own Mickey Mouse gardening tools and gloves.  He loved it!

 Elmo Easter eggs mommy!

 I think he liked his new gardening tools!

 Posing with daddy before church!

Mommy's turn!

My little Easter cutie!

Sunday morning was baby dedication at church and we dedicated Cooper to the Lord and made a promise to bring him up in a Christian home.  It was a wonderful moment!

 We could not get him to look at the camera :)

After church, we went to Nonee's to hunt Easter eggs and the Easter bunny also came to see him there!

 Silly boy!

Finally it was time to hunt Easter eggs!

 Eyes on the prize!

 So excited!

Hope everyone had a great Easter!
