Pictures!

Here is our three day weekend in a nutshell.
We did TONS of yard work. We are transforming our backyard. Its seriously just like extreme home makeover backyard edition. No lie. I want to share pictures of it all. At least of what we have done so far but at the same time I don't want to show you the pictures of all we have done until the whole thing is finished.
So today I'm not posting any before and after pictures yet. Only because we still have at least 1 more month until its completely done.
My parents were amazing, they came and worked solid manual labor in the hot sun for 2 days straight. They are such wonderful parents. I am so truly blessed. We couldn't have done this all without them, no doubt about it.

The rest of our weekend went like this....

Friday night Cooper played around the house while mommy cleaned. He had so much fun :)



Mommy jumps in for some hugs and cute pics.


Saturday morning Cooper woke up and got in his yard transformation outdoor gear. He was a big helper. Until he fell asleep for a 3-1/2 hour nap.
(Actually that was quite a help for us as well, we got a lot done :)




Saturday evening we met my husbands aunt and uncle for dinner. They just loved to see Cooper.


Sunday we went to see my grandma, Cooper's Granny.


Monday spent the morning with my parents.
Then we headed over to my best friends parents house to swim. Cooper and my friends daughter Anniston had a blast in the pool. This was his first time in a pool. He had so much fun and we took way to many pictures. Here are just a few...





Monday night we barbecued out and had some friends over. After dinner we went up the street for some snow cones (one of my all time favorite parts about the summer is snow cones). I shared mine with Cooper, He LOVED it. :) Here is a picture of Coop after we got home with his red lips.


Coop was cracking me up this weekend. He has the best personality ever. He is always so full of smiles and laughter.
This weekend he was so good with all our running around and yard work. He played so well. Watched, and slept so good. He seemed to always be in a good mood. I was so proud of him.
One of his new things he's learned recently is to give Eskimo kisses. He is so cute. He leans in presses his forehead to yours and shakes his head, wanting you to do the same of course. Its adorable when his little nose kisses yours.
He also has been eating some table food this weekend. He is loving some smashed yummy adult food. He ate some sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, noodle, cheese, chocolate desert, banana, and a few other things. We aren't giving him meals of table food, Just allowing him to try something that is on our plates as long as its safe for him. So far he's liking our food. :)

I hope you all had a great weekend as well!

Oh my goodness! Great pictures. Cooper is just a doll. Adalyn is into everything now that she is officially crawling. Why do they go right to the places/things you don't want them to?? She always heads to where our wii games, cable, dvd player is set up in the living room! Little stinkers.

You look so great, I love that picture of you in the yellow shirt, your eyes look goregous!
