Fun Pictures...

Here are some random pictures of the kiddos over the past few days.

Isabella LOVES to play with my hair accessories, clips, ties, rubber bands, head bands and brushes. Here she is with her shopping cart getting ALL the rubber bands out and putting them in the cart. She'll put them around her arms and legs and I have to bribe her to take them off before the circulation is cut off from her limbs.



She was singing...

Saying CHEESE!! Nice bangs.


OOPS, got caught in Cooper's toy...

I noticed my baby boy has already changed, his face is different.

And, last night this bundle of joy gave me a break. He went to sleep in this swing at 11pm and didn't wake up to eat until 6am...OMG, I loved it! PLEASE baby Cooper, do it again for mommy!


Poor baby's nails are too long, he cut his forehead.

Happy Mother's Day

My children... Happy Mother's Day to ME!

Mother's Day

While we were at my parents house this past weekend, we had the chance to get a picture of all the kids and Michelle and I. It was my mother's only request for Mother's day. Even though we didn't dress for the occasion, the picture turned out pretty good.

Mother's Day Weekend

This past weekend I went to my parents house because Brian had to go out of town. I was there from Thursday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. We had a great time. My folks AC unit went out, so we spend most of the day sitting in front of the fans and the kids were all in their diapers. It got pretty hot! Saturday mom, Isabella, Cooper and I all went to see my grandfather and his wife at the nursing home. It is always so nice to see my Pop Paw. He loved seeing Isabella and Cooper. I was glad we made the trip. Isabella sang all the songs she knew to Pop, Elva and anyone else that would listen. She was a real entertainer.

Happy Anniversary to ME!

On Saturday, May 3, 2008 Brian and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. It was not that big of a deal to us, Brian didn't even get around to buying me a card, he's just too busy these days. Not sure if I should be hurt by it or not, but that's the facts. Brian worked for a few hours at a building installing wires and such and I had the kids to myself. Brian's sister and her family come over for a little bit and let the kids play for a bit. Then Brian, Bella and I took showers and we took Isabella out to Adventure Kids to play and Cooper, Brian and I went to dinner. After a very uneventful dinner, we went to Dick's Sporting Goods store and I showed Brian the jogging stroller I was thinking about buying off CraigsList. It looked great and Brian wanted to just go ahead and buy it at Dick's, we had $200 in gift cards, so the stroller only cost us $38. Pretty nice! As we walked out the door with stroller in tow, Brian looked at me and said "happy anniversary". So for my 5th anniversary I got a jogging stroller. Not bad since I really wanted it. Sunday, I took Isabella on a ride around the block in her new stroller, she loved it. She didn't want to stop and go inside. It was great! We were out walking the neighborhood for about 45 minutes.

I really wanted the stroller so i could join one of those stroller fitness classes. I've always wanted to join one, but never had the motivation to do so, but now I'm all set! I can't join a gym until Cooper is 3 months, and I can't start the stroller strides class until I am at least 6 weeks postpartum. So for now, I'll be taking the kids to the park and walking around the neighborhood.
I'm very anxious to get started on a fast track to fitness. I just need to start in the kitchen!
