Easter

This year was Cooper's very first Easter. Although he doesn't understand the meaning of Easter and all he saw it as was a time to get some new toys and books, I did explain it to him. No he doesn't understand a word I said but I like to pretend that he does =)
My family was hear staying at my grandma's house. So Saturday Cooper and I went over to Grandma's and saw my parents, and brother's family. I spent the GORGEOUS perfect weather day outside helping my dad on some yard work and then we all ate dinner and just spent time together. The kids, (Nat and Coop) played together and had a good time. Poor hubby was sick though and stayed home to get some much needed rest.
Sunday we went to church with our family at my grandma's church. We sat close to the front, which we don't usually do. Having a 6 month old usually forces me to want to sit as close to the cry room as possible. But we took our chances and sat very close to the front this week. The whole row was family and the row of people in front of us and behind us were all about Cooper. They were smiling at him and ooh and awe-ing over him. It was funny and cute. He of course smiled his bright dimply smile right back at each and every one of them flirting as he does so well.
Church was really nice and I loved the homily. The priest was really interesting and fun to listen to. After church we went back to grandma's for dinner/lunch.
Julian was feeling much better Sunday and was able to join us all day. That was nice.

I'm enjoying every moment of all these special days and the days in between with our sweet baby boy. Its amazing how much better life is when you have kids. I am truly blessed to have this beautiful little boy. He is my everything. God has given us such a gift.


We had a great Easter weekend. Cooper enjoyed pulling all the fake grass out of the Easter baskets he got. One from his daddy and I and one from My parents. In the years to come he will be taught the true meaning of Easter and the fun basket of goodies will just be a bonus to this beautiful holiday. :)

And I had to add these three pictures of Cooper Thursday night in his little summer outfit. He was so cute. It says Mr. Fix it on the front and has a little tool belt. Of course these pictures don't show you that but its so cute anyways. He was just playing and rolling and moving as if he wants to crawl. He is so close its funny. He rocks and leans and tries to lift his hand and then doesn't know how to steady himself and ends up face planting the ground. Poor guy. He will get it really soon, I'm sure.
