Happy St. Patrick's day 2012

The kids are decked out in their St. Patti's day gear. Yet we are stuck in the house. Sick again :( Hopefully on the mend though. My sweet amazing and loving mom came and spend 3 full days here morning noon and night helping take care of two very sick kids. The fevers lasted 5 days and there were lots of sad little sickly faces in our home. Thank the lord its almost past.

On a lighter note, a week ago my sweet neice Natalie turned 4 years old. I'm posting pics from her party as well as some st. Patti's day pics.

Hope your all having a great weekend.

Blakely Ann 10 months already.

I can't believe our Blakely is 10 months old already.

Blake you are such a loving sweet girl.
Two weeks ago you took your first steps. You are growing so quickly before our eyes.
We could not feel more blessed to have you in our lives. You are saying mama and dada, you shake your head yes and no in response to us when we ask you questions. You are so smart and silly and truly you are the sweetest baby girl I've ever known. You are even tempered and happy and cuddly.

We are so in love with you!

Awe my adorable sweet and tiny's

Sometimes I just sit back and bask in the happiness of my beautiful children. I mean truly, they are the true meaning of happiness. They are always smiling and laughing and enjoying life. What beautiful blessings they are. Cooper is so sweet and loving, he makes us laugh daily. He is our little commedian, you never know what kind of hilarious sarcastic thing he might say next. Blakely is as sweet as they come, and so cuddly and loving as well. She is getting so big so fast. She took her first real steps on Sunday March 4th. 8 good steps in a row. We were so excited for her.
THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN!




Crazy hair, hats and sock day at school.

Shannon's baby shower

One of my closest friends Shannon is having a baby boy very soon. His name will be Brady. This past weekend Myself and three of Shannon's closest friends and her sister threw a baby shower for her. We did a couples shower. It was in the evening and it ended up being so much fun. The guys played poker (they had to buy in with a pack of diapers). Shannon was able to get tons of diapers for Mr. Brady. All of us girls sat and watched her open gifts. We played The price is right with baby items, We played the game where you put the baby in ice cubes and whoevers baby breaks free first yells "My water broke" and they win :) We also played a fun game where you match up candy names to other random things that sound like that candy.
I think everyone had a good time.

I do want to ask for a special prayer from all of you. Shannon (the one we had the shower for), she went into early labor last week. They were able to stop the contractions by giving her a shot at first, but then they started back up. They then tried some intravenous drugs that did stop them. She's been sick off and on this past week and although she is no longer on bed rest was told she may or may not make it another 3 weeks or so. She was 34 weeks when she went into early labor. So its not too terribly early but still. Please keep Shannon and baby Brady in your prayers for a safe and healthy delivery.

Valentines day 2012

I was able to spend my valentines day this year with 3 of the most amazing people in my world.
Julian, Cooper, and Blakely. What a gift they are to me.
This year for Valentines day we got our kids each a super soft big stuffed animal. Cooper got a dragon (he likes sleeping with stuffed animals). Blakely got a soft big old white lamb. She loves to cuddle it and hold it. So cute!
We got Cooper some matchbox cars, his favorite gift ever!
The kids had a party at school and got lots of valentines which daddy and mommy may or may not have eaten some of :)
Daddy asked if we wanted to get some top that pizza. Top that is a small pizza place by our house and you can make your own pizza's. Its fun and good so we decided to load the kids up and have a pizza night. I know this may not sound gourmet but we truly had a great time. The kids loved it and we laughed and enjoyed each others company and had a great time.
Here are the pics I got of us all on V-DAY 2012.

I love you guys! You are the loves of my life and I thank God daily for you Julian, Cooper and Blakely.

Blakely's 9 month post

Blakely turned 9 months old last Tuesday! I can't believe her next quarterly birthday is going to be the big 1 year.
Blakely, you are such a cutie. We can't hardly get over how beautiful you are inside and out. Your smile lights up a room, you giggle often and are as sweet as they come. You are still such an easy going little miss. We love how good you are :)
You sleep good through the night and are eating your baby food and bottles like a champ. You love the little gerber cheetos we give you as a snack and your like a little puppy when you see someone with a plate of food. You go over to them like a vulture wanting to eat whatever it is they have. Its so funny, considering you are only 9 months old and you rarely get food from us that's not baby food.

You can walk along furniture and stand all by yourself for a minute or so. You have great balance. You will probably walk sometime in the next month or two I'm betting.
You love your minnie mouse doll we got you for Christmas, I think its your favorite. You drag her around wherever you go. You love to f0llow your brother and do whatever he is doing. Although he has a little troubles sharing with you, he also loves you to death. He plays with you and talks so sweetly and cute to you. He makes you laugh in the car all the time. You guys will just giggle at each other and it makes me literally glow inside to hear you two laugh at each other.
You are wearing 12-18 month clothes but I'm buying you 18-24 months because some of the 12-18 are getting snug. I know that makes you sound like a giant. Your really not sweetie. You are gorgeous and beautiful and cute as a button. You are just VERY tall and a little chunky that's all.
You weigh around 21-22 lbs. You wear a size 2 and 3 in shoes depending on the shoe.
You said dada, and you say dadadada when he leaves the room and you crawl at light speed after him saying it. So cute. This morning for the first time ever you cried and reached for me saying mama. I was so excited :)

You like to be wherever mommy and daddy are at. You are a major daddy's girl. On Saturday mornings daddy gets up with you at 6:00 or 7:00 (that's when you wake up, you don't want to miss your bottle :) He told me he absolutely loves spending some special cuddle time with you while watching tv on Saturday mornings before Cooper and mommy wake up.
Blakely you are a blessing and we are so in love with you. God really did give us a miracle surprising us with you. We love you honey!

Daddy and you on your first Valentines day
You and mommy

My new blog design :)

Kelly http://www.oxboroughchaos.com/ has been such a sweetie yet again and redid my blog for me :) Thanks so much Kelly I love it.

Some of you might notice that the new title is Kissable, Hugable, Loveable.
I am sort of heartbroken to let go of Hanging with Mr. Cooper, but now we have our little Blakely and she deserves to be a part of the title as well. So we changed it.

I will be doing a great post on Valentines day and on Blakes 9 month b-day in the next week.

I also have some major catching up to do on reading all of your blogs. Hope you all had a great weekend.
Thanks again Kelly, I love the makeover.
