Me and My Guys!!!

Soccer boy

2009-10-28T00:43:00.001-07:00

The crazy team of "Thunderbolts"
He is the best picture taker... I love it!

My little star!

So Cooper is doing Soccer with the kids we did T-Ball with and it is a blast... The parents love it almost as much as the kids! Cooper loves to run ALL over the field trying to block someone Else's shot. I think he is a born goalie... because he will not let anything threw if he can avoid it.

It is very entertaining to watch the 5 year olds run around like silly monsters not paying attention to what is actually happening on the field! Chris is helping coach and that might just be Coopers favorite part of playing, he loves his daddy more than I can express!

We have just 3 games left then it's off to finding something else for him to keep busy with?

Pumpkin Patch

2009-10-28T00:29:00.000-07:00

I love him...

Cooper and his "buddy" on the tractor ride.

The Tanganellis

Webber Cousins

Me and my boy.

It was a super hot day, and of course that's the day we chose to go!

The bounce house was their fav...

Enough said!

Silly Webber

His smile is fabulous!

Not sure why this is small, but this is Cooper and Hailee at the Pumpkin Patch in Gilbert!

Our Grand Canyon Visit

2009-10-28T00:05:00.000-07:00

Spread your wings baby boy!
Just a little bit farther...

That darn Owl went everywhere that day.

Perfect Canyon photo with my boy on his first trip to the" big hole"

Poser!

The Webber's

Cooper you are waaayyy to close for my sake!

Just getting there.

SURPRISE!

2009-08-05T16:23:00.000-07:00

In early February Chris and I decided that for Cooper's 5Th B-Day rather than having a big party like we usually do, that we would take him to Disneyland because we think he is finally old enough to enjoy it! So we did a great job keeping this a secret for tall these months leading up to his SURPRISE party. ( I know we said we weren't gonna do the big party thing) So when I brought him home from school on July 30Th he had a very big welcoming on the other side of the door!

Everyone was wearing their Mickey Mouse ears as they were directed and yelled surprise as we came in, I think it scared him a bit and he was very shocked! After he opened all of the presents Chris and I told him where we were going the next day, he did not over react the way I wanted him too... I have had this so built up for so long that I was screaming excited inside and I just didn't get that from him so I was a little bummed! But overall he knew where he was going and was "happy" to go!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COOPER DALE WEBBER

Skateboarding lessons

2009-08-05T16:05:00.001-07:00

So over the last year of gymnastics Cooper had been asking us if he could do skateboarding and we thought he was just too small, but apparently not because this week we finally started them and a few of the boys are younger than Cooper and have been in it for sometime now! My bad, maybe I just wanted to keep him safe for a little while longer!

So we went to a local skate shop named Freedom right near our house and got ALL the supplies to help keep him without a broken bone! (I hope) He loved the class and did not hesitate at all with the things that was asked of him, even to the point that he asked the teacher to "move the mat, I don't need it" Yikes!!!

He was a sweaty monkey when we were done but wanted to go again today so I had to explain that is only on Tuesday nights for now and we will be going back! He LOVED it!

Apparently he is all grown up and wants to do the crazy sports not the soft gentle things I'd like him to do!

Cooper's 5 year old pictures

2009-08-05T15:46:00.000-07:00

Wow I am so far behind in blogging I should just STOP! But I'm not gonna no way no how... So the last few months have been very busy and here in the Webber household Cooper's birthday this year seemed to be a weeks long celebration. So I will do my best to bring everyone up to speed, I apologize now for the order of events!!!

Any who, these pictures were taken today at the mall by Kiddie Kandids and they did a nice job and Cooper is the best camera kid, no fighting or bribing was necessary at all! In and out in 30 minutes. He has grown so much in just the last year that even I'm in awe of him! Even tho he start in Kindergarten on Mon he is in the same class with the same kids and teachers as last year so this should be a super simple transition to make! He loves school but everyday wants to know when his next day off is! Kid you are way to young to be asking that question now! Good luck buddy!

All of May 2009

2009-06-01T04:02:00.001-07:00

Chris and I at Cooper's Trophy party at where else but Peter Piper Pizza!!!
Some of the TBall boys over for a swim party!

Cooper enjoying Brennen's B-Day party!

Can you tell he has been eating Watermelon??? Uh.. YES!

Water fun for Brennen's B-Day

Up and Down, Up and Down

Lunch time!

Us at his last game before the trophy party! He did such a awesome job I cant wait for more games to come!

Last day of school was water day! I was a emotional wreck picking him up from school that day! He asked why I was crying and I told him cuz your getting so big... he put his hand on my arm and said its OK mommy I want to get big! Hmm.... my point exactly!!!

Cool dude!

Last day of school must have been really good!

DBacks game where he got to run the bases afterwards! More pics on that to come!

Pool party at our house!

The game waiting in line to run bases!

Cooper and Brennen swimming

My guy!

Silly Coops

What can I say other than WOW? We have been super busy this month and my lack of blogging shows just that! So I am going to apologize now for the mixed up order of photos, there is a lot!!! I'll explain each one.

Driving Range!

2009-04-24T13:17:00.000-07:00

Cooper loves golf like his daddy does! I think this makes Chris entirely too happy but it's really cute that they share this together! Cooper is always asking Chris if they can go to the range and hits some balls<>

Easter Festivities 2009

2009-04-24T09:45:00.000-07:00

Cooper and his friend Sarah
Can I tell you he was so excited to get 2 dollars in his egg!

Pick me please!

Ahhh standing so nice and waiting his turn!

Look ma!

Why is my kid standing still and not running like a crazy kid for those eggs?

Pretty boy!

Cousin Hailee and Coops after coloring eggs!

And the mess begins!

I love this smile

He loved this mini car.... too bad it was already his and he didn't realize he put it in an egg himself and forgot it!!! It was hilarious!

Cooper made these ears at school and loved them!

I'm a little behind on posting lately, sorry for that! We've been very busy around our house so I will try to catch us all up! Here is most of the Easter festivities we attended. Cooper loved all the eggs and hunts he went to this year and I can tell you we are still enjoying the colored eggs, via egg salad!!! Good thing we really like eggs.

T Ball Team Pics and more games!

2009-04-05T15:34:00.000-07:00

Safe on first base.

I love how he is running and smiling cuz he is sure mom is somewhere with the camera!!! He is so right!

G'Pa Webber helping Cooper on the field!

The boys on the team

Cooper and his team mate Devin!

Cooper took this picture of me.

So this Saturdays game was so windy and cold, so I climed on top of my mom to keep my legs warm! Chris called me a big ole baby! WHATEVER I WAS WARM!!!

So we took a million pics and these were a few of the good ones, sorta!

Anyone who has kids in sports knows how hard it was to get a team photo with all the kids smiling... ya right not a chance!

Everyone so excited that pictures were over!!!

What a little T Ball stud!

Cheese monkey!

My little guy is getting so big!

Road Runners Hockey Game

2009-04-04T16:27:00.000-07:00

Cooper at Cooperstown... he loved his name up in lights!
After the game!

We all know we love the fights art a Hockey game, and this game had plenty!!!

Ginger and I

Smile Child!!!

Hailee Bug and Ginger

We were told there would be some foul language when the Road Runners scored so the ears were covered just in time!

The clan...

Me and my guy!

My little guy!

Cooper loved his Hockey puck!

G'Ma McKibben and G'Ma Webber with a little Hailee in between!

My mother In-Law and I at Red Robin before the game!

Last Saturday the WHOLE family went to a Hockey Game together! Cooper has been so excited to go since the day we told him about it!!! His Cousin Hailee was there and these two have so much fun together, most of the time anywhere!

Cooper's first T-Ball game!

2009-03-23T18:22:00.000-07:00

The best part of the game is the yummy snack after! Duh!!!

Because it is T-Ball they do not keep score or call kids out, but I can't lie I wanted to know who won!!! I'm might be "one of those moms" scary huh?

I think he gets his attitude from Chris? Yeah right it's me ALL the way! He was upset that he didn't get to catch the last ball.

He is a daddy's bot 100%

I swear he thinks he is a little model!

You are probably thinking the same thing I was... not fair! Look at the size of this kid next to Cooper!

Coach "dad"

He was playing first base and really tried to catch all the balls thrown to him!

His first "at bat" He's so cute up there!

So T-Ball started last week and Saturday was his first game against a Tempe team. Cooper was very excited and could not wait for the day to come to play ball! Grandpa you should be proud!!! He did a great job running for the ball and hitting the ball also, it was very exciting for us to watch! The family was there to support our little ball player! Next week we should have our jerseys so they will look much cuter in red!

Spring is in the air

2009-03-12T10:34:00.000-07:00

Cooper started T-Ball last night and it was great to watch! You can bet I had my camera, camcorder and my Blackberry camera all going! The other parents might think I'm a geek but he is my only and I will go full force on all the things he does in life!!!

We signed him up through the Mesa YMCA and the kids range from 3 to 5 years old and it was hilarious to watch these kids running around. Cooper was all about being the fastest and telling the other kids how to catch the ball.

I laughed when I heard him telling the kids that was his daddy was helping coach the team, every time he turned around it was "that's my daddy" Chris would have been so proud to hear that! But I sure told him...

He has a few practices and then the games are on Saturdays against other cities YMCA's it should be comical to watch and see what these little people retain from practices??? We are taking Cooper to a Spring Training game this weekend to watch the big boys play and he said he is very excited for it. More pics and maybe even video to come after the first game!

Party time!

2009-03-12T10:15:00.000-07:00

So Cooper's school held a Mercado for the kids on Valentine's Day! They give the kids a bag and some fake money and off they go to buy, play and eat whatever they can afford with the cash they have. My son only wanted to play games where he could win hot wheels... there was only really two games like that. I made him try a few others but I was not super successful at it. He wanted no baked goods but I sure did they looked awesome! I think he just enjoyed having me watch him play with his friends than do the activities they had planned for the kids. It was sweet! I love sharing these days with him, I will not forget them!

Babysitting Baby Bryson

2009-02-14T13:45:00.000-08:00

We were lucky enough to get to watch Baby Bryson last night so Paul and Jackie could go celebrate their Anniversary and enjoy a nice dinner. These are just some of the pics I took of him last night! Bryson loved watching our 3 dogs run around him crazy and when ever Chris or Cooper would leave the room he had a fit and they came right back so he was happy! He was a lot of fun to have around! I do miss the baby thing! But let me tell you we are really good with just one child... Cooper is enough for us! But I will surely watch Bryson whenever they need us to!

Valentines Day 2009

2009-02-14T13:33:00.000-08:00

My cheesy Cooper

I love this "Hallmark Holiday" I don't care what people say! Yes I love my family everyday and tell them pretty darn often but this day just seems to bring the best out in some people... Cooper got a lot of cards this year and loved opening them up to see who they were all from, oh and the candy that came with them was nice too!

Chris and I are going to see Robin Williams at the Dodge theater tonight and I can't wait! We have seen him before and I laughed so hard all night long that my sides ached for two days straight. So to everyone out there who LOVES this day like me HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!! Enjoy it!

A little trip up north...

2009-01-20T11:35:00.000-08:00

The snowflakes on my truck early Sunday morning when we were leaving!

Oh and there was some super hero's there also...

Many cars were buried in snow in Sunrise... I'm glad I live in the Valley of the SUN!!!

The Skinner clan

Seriously it took forever to get them all to take this picture!

My little snow bunny

I love this picture she looks so cute!

Sage posing for me

If there is snow there must be a snowman... (someone else made it and left it for our kids to enjoy)

Group shot

Ahhh so pretty...

The accident we saw on the way to sunrise! Hey I work in a hospital I'm always curious...

Going on a road trip...

I'm pretty sure Cooper has a crush?

Dog House fun

Two snow geared boys in a basket...

Rhett in a box...

A happy face!

Oh the trouble these two can cause???

and the messes they can make...

Last weekend Cooper and I took a trip up to Snowflake to see my good ole friend Cedar and her family. Cooper gets very excited because he knows she has "kids" to play with so he looks forward to it. We went up also to play in the snow, since Cedars house had no snow we drove up to Sunrise and found some. The kids had a short but sweet time in the snow! Only a few bad attitudes were thrown but nothing the two moms could not handle...

As usual many laughs and old memories were brought up and some new ones were made, oh and she's on Facebook now!!! That was a mission of mine to get her to do that really only took about one hour after I got there.. easy! Thanks Skinners we always have fun even when the Snowflake patrol gets me!!! Twice!!!

Razor fast...

2008-12-31T15:45:00.000-08:00

My great guy loving his Razor scooter his G'Ma got him for Christmas... and the new Hot Wheels helmet to go with it!
This boy is trained for the camera and I LOVE IT.... he makes my life easier with just a simple smile (on command)... My special little guy!

Another Wonderful Christmas

2008-12-26T13:08:00.000-08:00

Cooper woke up at 730am wishing his mom and dad a Merry Xmas and said lets go see if Santa was here? He ran out to the living room and there was his skateboard just begging to be rode RIGHT away...

Big surprise to everyone that it was a Lightning McQueen skateboard... You might be able to see but so are his Jammie's!

This is Cooper waiting for his Grandma to come over to open up gifts.

Santa sure enjoyed the cookies Cooper made the night before and he must like whole milk also because it was GONE...

This is the letter Cooper left for Santa and it reads:

Transformers

Monster Trucks

Nascar

Motorcycles

He tried to right this himself and only needed a little help from mom!

Love Cooper...

The new Razor his G'Ma got him, he loves it!

Even though Chris and I are NOT Nascar fans our little boy is # 24 all the way... All thanks to his Aunt Ginger who is a HUGE fan!

He is already daddy's little helper, but now he's really gonna be a big help!

No one in my family plays video games AT ALL.... But ever since I got into Weight Watchers and trying to eat differently all I wanted was the Wii fit. So The Webber's have now joined the Video times! I got the Wii for Chris and I a few weeks before Xmas and he made me wrap it because it was for Xmas. But I had no luck finding Wii Fit so we just talked about waiting til after Xmas to go buy it somewhere... little did I know that Chris had already got it through a friend who works at a store to remain un-named and they has a shipment of 4 coming in and Chris was to be there when the store opened to try and get one. He said he almost had to take out a senior citizen that got in his way, and a man offered him almost twice what he bought it for when he was leaving the store... I guess people must really like this video. I'm sure glad I got mine... Thanks babe it was a nice surprise!

These two Cousins love each other so much. Good thing because they are the only Cousins the other one will get!

I spoil him rotten because he is my life...

Again Lightning McQueen is a BIG part of Cooper's life...

Cooper is very focused on his new pool table game that plays 5 different games all in one!

WoW! That is a lot of toys... The only thing in this picture that is NOT cooper's is the Wii... Let's just say we cleaned out his room and closet to make way for the new toys! If you ask Cooper what we did with all his old toys and games he will tell you that his "mommy and daddy gave them to children who want them but cant go buy them" That was the deal this year, to give his toys to a rescue mission for kids!

Merry Christmas Cooper we love you so much!

He knows he can't even so much as put a toe on this Skateboard without a helmet, the pads are all just a bonus...

Nice form Cooper...

I'm glad we have wood floors so that he has a race track to ride on...

New Jammies, New Razor scooter and new helmet for G'Ma's house!

Mall fun...

2008-12-18T11:37:00.000-08:00

I went for ONLY this... one pair of jeans!
But ended up with all of these...

So I went to the Mall today to by myself a pair of well deserved smaller sized jeans... 2 sizes smaller! But I ended up with a whole lot more than I planned for. During this economy crunch stores are offering really good deals on things and I am not a person to pass that stuff by (sorry honey, but I'm just not)

I dropped Cooper off at school this morning and to kill time before my Weight Watchers weigh-in I went into Target and looked around, but of course I ended up with a few things! Then I headed over and did my weigh-in and actually gained 1lb which I am totally fine with because of the parties and a huge dinner with my work friends last night.

Then off to Chandler Fashion square where the madness began... I have a niece I love to shop for so her and Cooper got some cute things from Gymboree and The Children's Place. I of course found some fun jewelry at New York & Co. who was having a EVERYTHING 50% off sale... then over to Aeropostle where I bought some things for Chris and I. I needed a special ornament for Chris and Cooper for 2008 so the Hallmark store was good to me too...

Next time I'm sure I need to bring Chris with me to help regulate my spending tangin... Oh well I had fun and got some really good deals!

Boys will be boys....

2008-12-14T10:04:00.001-08:00

Whenever I am at the gym and I see the daycare teacher come out in a "where is his mother" look on her face I always get nervous. Needless to say it is never my child she is trying to have claimed BUT today was another story...

I was on the elliptical closest to the daycare when I saw her come out looking, I made eye contact with her so she saw me, she called for the front desk girl they discussed something and then she did the walk over to me! I thought maybe he had a potty accident or was wanting to leave or something simple... NOPE... my Cooper took a tumble which led to his top two teeth going in to his bottom lip and causing more blood than she and Cooper were willing to see on a early Saturday morning. I walked in there and he was all red faced from crying and his little hands were covered in blood from him holding his lip, my poor guy! He said he was running too fast when he fell, and "his teeth went in his lip" He is fine and promises he will still go to the gym with me and all he could really say was " it's OK, accidents happen" hmmm I wonder where he has heard that before? Maybe he really does listen to his mother after all?

Nice pouty lip buddy... It is a pretty shade of purple now!

Not SO simple craft...

2008-12-06T14:30:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I bought this Lightning McQueen Ginger bread house for Cooper because he freaking LOVES Lightning McQueen STILL... anyways Cooper has been asking me all week when we were gonna make it so he could eat it and show his Gram ( my mom). So I started the hard part and told him I would tell him when he could decorate it, yeah right. This thing sucked to make and the frosting was ridiculous to cover the car with. It was hard before I was supposed to put it on. It flaked really bad and it didn't taste very good at all. After using my hands to apply it and putting on the broken cookies and broken 95 signs this is what we came out with. I'm not a fan and probably won't buy him another one of these cuz it was a rotten experience...

The best part of is that Cooper thinks it is the coolest thing ever! It figures! He was so excited when it was done it made feel sorta bad that I was silently cursing it... sorta!

Turkey Day 2008

2008-11-28T14:33:00.001-08:00

Thanksgiving this year was very much like the years before, yet different! The same faces come each year, and each we all have new store is and share many laughs throughout the evening... This year we had one little addition his name is Bryson Tanganelli. He is my very good friend Jackie and her husband Paul's new addition. He is just 4 months old but was the hit of the party... We haven't had a baby around in a few years! Chris fried up another Turkey and did a regular Turkey as well, everyone brought a dish and I'm sure we could all have eaten for days to come! But instead we all got great big take home bags... Get it all out of my house so Weight Watchers doesn't go down the tubes...

Anyways here is a pic of my goofy husband wearing my doggie apron and his super silly grin holding up another successful fried turkey!
This is the usual set up around the pool table (it has a actual dinning room table cover made for it on it) It was the best purchase for a table ever... too bad the pool table doesn't get used as much!

This is the clan, each year we take pics outside after dinner to have for our yearly calendars that we make!

Christopher and Cooper being silly...

Paul, Bryson and Jackie Tanganelli

My Sister In-Law ginger and Niece Hailee

Mom and I

Just Jackie and I

Chris, Ginger Susan and Dale Webber

Our most immediate family, small but great in size!

Ginger and I

Cooper giving G'Ma Mckibben (my mom) a smooch

I swear my kitchen was clean before these people showed up! Why do we clean before people come over anyway? We should wait till they leave and just clean a bigger mess rather than clean twice...

My mom and Chris' mom taking a picture and Hailee jumped in. The moms get along so well its frightening.

Lake Tahoe girls Trip 2008

2008-11-24T16:07:00.000-08:00

So some good friends and I went to Lake Tahoe for the week of November 15Th thru November 22ND. A TOTAL girls trip! We have had it planned for sometime and I was very excited to go but unsure how I was gonna be being away from my boys for a WHOLE week! That has not been done before. Anyways it went really well and I did fine just being able to talk to them and Chris sent me some photos to keep me happy! We had a crazy and funny week with each other and made many memories.

These pictures are in no order at all, sorry! Anacecelia and I were hanging with the Blues Brothers!
Pretty much the theme of our week. Everything was closed because there was no snow... but we made the best of it and found other things to do instead!!!
Two of the ladies (Melissa and Sarah) made wine glasses at an activity the resort was holding.

The Birthday girl in the middle (Anacecelia) and Melissa and Sarah to her side!

I'm sure I don't need to explain this picture... Yep Karaoke! Check of Anacecelias face!!! Priceless! Shania Twain sing along...

In some random convenient store and this is what we came up with... I love this picture of us all!

We rented bikes for the day and took a 7 mile ride around Lake Tahoe's beaches. It was beautiful and great exercise for me...

Just a photo op to be taken.

Renae and I, Good friends!

Sorry tiny wanna be picture.

Melissa and I freezing our rears off the first night there! It was SOO cold!

Another pretty place to take a picture up on Emerald Bay! Again so cold outside!

Wednesday we took a lunch cruise around Emerald Bay and it was so pretty and relaxing. We met a fun man who took a liking to us "chicks" He told us crazy stories and I'm sure we know WAY too much about him in the two hours we were all together???

Damen the tattoo artist that Anacecelia and I got tats from! Yep a tattoo, I know some of you are disapproving right now, but that's OK! Shh... it's my second!

I posed the girls for this one and it turned out cute!

Sarah and Anacecelia looking fabulous as usual...

Why so serious ladies?

Our first night we were all a little sleepy...

I brought ear muffs and all the girls made of fun of me. They weren't laughing when my ears were cozy and theirs were NOT!

Ananacecelia and I waiting at Sky Harbor to depart to Reno. Watch of Tahoe here we come.

Ummm Diet coke, Delicious!

What a nice surprise

2008-11-09T15:33:00.000-08:00

Cooper loves to go hit balls with Chris at the driving range when ever he gets the chance! In the past Chris bought Cooper a set of tiny clubs, but cooper has grown out of them by a few inches. So this week Chris came home with a surprise for Coop and he LOVED it... A bigger new set of clubs and they were blue (which if you ask Cooper means boy). He hugged them for a good 10 minutes and was asking when they got to go "hit some"?

The Hulk!

2008-11-09T15:28:00.001-08:00

Thursday was wear your Jammie's to school day and Cooper new exactly which ones he would wear when we told him about it!!! The HULK! I was at work that morning when the boys were getting ready to leave the house so I begged Chris to take his picture for me... the picture is good but I do believe there is a shadow of a finger in it! Hmmm... Thanks for trying babe! He was super cute!

2008-11-01T16:01:00.000-07:00

Cooper as Lightning McQueen Halloween 2007, yep not wearing the costume...

Hailee and Cooper getting ready to go out for treats!

My McQueen....

Before leaving the house...

Getting the good stuff...

This picture makes my laugh, poor Hailee got spooked by a house! Look at how she is backed right into G'Ma Webber!

Chris checking each and ever piece the kids got!!! What a responsible daddy.

The loot...

G'Pa Webber wanted to make sure up close and personal that this piece was A OK!

And then he ate it...

Cooper enjoyed giving out candy way more than trick or treating...

Weirdo!

So Halloween came and went very quickly this year!!! I look forward to decorating and sending my boy all around to get yummy treats for months. This year sadly was just like last year with Cooper! All he could talk about was being Lightning McQueen AGAIN this year, so whatever I went along with it because last year he didn't even get out of our yard with the costume on... he took it off before we even went to the first house. Bummer I know! So this year I thought OK he is older maybe we can make it the whole time with a costume??? NOPE! the second house we went to he was complaining and wanted it off. We told him if you take it off this time we are going home! It worked... for 4 more houses then he wanted to go home and stop trick or treating. Again BUMMER! So we finished going around with my niece Hailee who's mom was home sick and were home shortly there after. So Halloween was short and not so sweet for me, but Cooper was happy as a clam!!! Good thing I didn't sell the costume on Craigslist like I usually do before Halloween. You never know he may want to give it a third times a charm type thing next year?

Only my crazy kid..

Pumpkin Carving

2008-10-29T18:41:00.001-07:00

Well tonight we carved our Pumpkin we picked up at the farm Saturday night! Oh yes I need to post those pics too... Anyways, Cooper picked this one and he did a fine job at that! He wanted a "GREAT BIG ONE"
I'm pretty sure I look a little devilish...

It was a really hard pumpkin to carve through, it took all the little strength I have!

Seriously it was hard!

Cooper really liked putting his hand in the goo. Last year he wouldn't get near the stuff!

Yummy....

Funny ha ha

The pumpkin goodness...

Does anyone else notice the goo on my child's face?

Watching his dad draw the face first before carving!

He wanted to taste the pumpkin!

He actually took a few bites...

DONE!

The are both a little silly looking... but they're mine!

Happy Birthday Owen

2008-10-26T11:08:00.000-07:00

Owen opening all his presents!
Who says you can't toot your own horn???

Enjoying a yummy piece of cake!

Owen and Cooper admiring the cute cake that I'm sure Dixie made

Getting ready to play red light, green light!

Too cute. The licence plates were all personalized for each kid!

The trucks were a great idea, the kids loved making them and playing in them!

Sitting in the circle to play Park, Park, drive formerly known as Duck, Duck, Goose!

Cooper was "Fast and Furious" as he said!

The boys all loved their cars!

Thanks Owen for having us over for your 4Th B-Day! It was so much fun and nice to see old friends from school too... Can't wait til the next gathering!

So Sleepy!

2008-10-17T18:25:00.000-07:00

So earlier this week when I got home from work everyone in my house(husband, kid and dogs) were all lounging on the couch. Within minutes this is what I found!!! Everyone asleep.... Chris, Cooper, Chica, Daisey and Bruce Lee! It's not too often that I get a shot like this!

The sleepy creatures make me smile...

All boy...

2008-10-17T18:10:00.000-07:00

Cooper is a big fan of his daddy! No matter what Chris is wearing or doing, Cooper follows suit... If Chris is hanging around the house in just his boxers Cooper will take off all his clothes down to his skivvies... If he is in everything but a shirt, then this is what we get! In case you were wondering NO Chris does not walk around the house in a fireman's cap! ( Although it might be sorta HOT, get it? HOT) I crack myself up...

Cooper added that prop himself...

My little fireman!

Part two of Fried Turkey...

Happy Birthday G'Ma Webber

2008-10-11T18:39:00.000-07:00

So Chris' moms Birthday celebration was Friday night at our house. She requested a fried turkey this year for dinner, we've never done that yet! So with all the research and grocery store trips to get ALL theingredients that Chris injected into the turkey to marinade it was a lengthy process... It looked like a scary feat, but he was super successful!!! Way to go babe.. it was Delicious!

So notice how far away Dale (Chris'dad) is from the frier!! Also that Chris' arm is covered up to his sleeve to protect him form a burn... So here we go...Going, going...
Still going...Gone!

Wow look at that baby bubble! That is 5 gallons of Peanut oil brewing...

A day at the Zoo...

2008-10-09T15:21:00.001-07:00

Cooper and I lovin the Otters....

Cooper was very in to the lizards...

I know it's blurry but I love it anyways...
We watched this Squirrel in action for 30 minutes. It was the cheapest fun around... He came right to us for food.

My very favorite part of the Zoo!
She is so adorable
Leading mommy up the stairs!
Perched so pretty...

Awww...

Checking out the views around us!
Today the animals were so active, they must know the weather is changing! The tiger was on the ground and then ran up the tree to the end of the limb! It was awesome to watch...
Watching the tiger do his thing.
Smile buddy...

Just an update...

2008-10-07T09:33:00.000-07:00

Daddy don't leave me hanging....
Enjoying a party at the park!
Playing Cars, what else!
Bruce wants to be in on the action too...

Well I have not posted in a while and it is mainly because I have still been a little sick. I have lost some hearing in my left ear and am trying to be patient for it to return... most of you know I have NO patients! Anyways I have not returned to work yet either, but I have been very successful around my house the last few weeks. Ive spent a lot of time at the gym and even joined Weight Watchers while I have been off, and I'm doing GREAT! My first weight in is tomorrow and then I will give the official number... Also I have still been attending a lot of doctor appointments and paying Co-Pays out the wazoo! I think I will be going back to work tomorrow but today's doc appointment will tell!

On another note Cooper went to his first play date at someones house with out me!!! Yikes! He's only 4! The little boy is in his Pre-School class and in his gymnastics class so we know the family well. He was there about 3 hours and said he had so much fun and wanted to go back. So mabey it's not so bad? It was weird though I must admit!

These pics are just random of Cooper this week!

Sick Day!

2008-09-28T11:56:00.000-07:00

So I have been very under the weather this week and still not 100% but have started to get some strength back! On Tuesday morning I woke and felt a Little yucky but went to work anyway... I was scheduled that day for my first spine case which was set to take about 9 hours! Not super excited about standing still for that long knowing the way I felt I pushed through and started the case. Somewhere around 10 am I thought I should eat lunch because I knew I still had a ways to go but thought maybe food would make me better... NOPE! Wrong idea, I went back into my case around 1045a and was still not so sure about the condition I was in. I'm sure the doctors never even noticed being involved in someones spine and all! But right at 1130 I silently asked my circulating nurse to get Neil, the Scrub I was with that day and he came in looked at me and I said " I need to be sick" tears pretty much welled up in my eyes. He turned around so quick to grab gown and gloves I think it made me dizzy! He walked through the doors from Scrubbing in and I stepped down from my stools and degloved and gowned and made a run for it... thank goodness no one was in the only bathroom we had directly in the OR or I was busted. Needless to say I made some horrible sounds that most of my friends and colleagues got to hear but all were understanding. My supervisor of course let me go home to where the real problems started.
So I layed around the house the rest of Tuesday and My mom took Cooper for the night because Chris sleeps during the day and works at night so I really could not keep Coop entertained at all. Wednesday I called out again from work and somewhere around 5pm I started getting really sharp pains in my left ear! Again my mom has Cooper! I tried to go to bed around 7pm thinking I could forget about it... Strike two, wrong again! I ended up disturbing the heck out of Chris' sleep who needed to be to work in a few hours and decided to drive myself to the ER at 11pm. Big surprise I had an ear infection pretty badly. They gave me some meds to "stop the pain" took my money and sent me on my way! Around 130a I got to bed and that day was over. I woke up Thursday and no difference except more vomiting and still in pain, still hurt like hell! The ER doc did say that " you never really understand your child's ear pain until you go through your own, I will never underestimate Coopers ear ache again! My poor child should never feel that!

So Thursday pretty much sucked just as bad as the rest of my days except now I'm stressed about the fact that I have NO hearing in that ear, so Friday morning I go to my PCP first thing and he is baffled at how bad my ear looks and how I tell him it feels. So he immediately made some calls to ENT in Tempe and made me an appointment that day because I would not make it till Monday like this. Chris had some work things to do and to pick up Cooper so I had my good friend Anacecilia take me to hold my hand... So we went and the doctor who said all the meds could eventually work but most of you know I am NOT a patient person at all, I have already suffered for too many days! SOOO I asked if he could lance it(cut inside my ear) and relieve the pressure. I work in OR we do this all the time to kids! I think he was a little surprised that I sorta demanded it from him because I was not gonna feels this bad anymore. So I signed some consents took a hearing test (which I did not completely pass) and we were ready. He made me tuck my hands under my bottom so I did not smack him by accident, good thing he did because that is what I might have done ! He "gently" yeah right, put some topical stuff in my ear to soften the blow of the on coming knife in my ear. He "deflated" the swollen vesicle and said there was a little blood and some discharge. YUCK! That was it we were done for now. Today is Sunday and to be very honest the pressure is gone but the ringing in my ear is still there and the deafness still lurks around... I'm not without an infection yet, but still taking some of the many meds I have that will make it go away... SOME DAY! Sorry you had to read all my craziness but I have been away from my computer for 5 days now and have lots to say!

2008-09-21T16:59:00.000-07:00

Friends Reunited...

2008-09-06T17:56:00.000-07:00

Dixie Shumway and I in 7Th grade (1991) on vacation to Universal Studios! Wow look at our hair...
(2008) 17 years later and we meet up again! I found Dixie on Facebook early in August and was so happy to get her response email saying it was the Dixie I was such good friends with in Jr. high. Mrs. Shumway (Dixie's mom) was my core teacher at Taylor, some of you should remember her! Dixie left Taylor before ninth grade and went off to Westwood where we sorta lost touch. I have passed her parents neighborhood many times wondering about her and all of sudden there she is on Facebook all these years later. Dixie is married and has 2 girls and a little boy who is Cooper's age! We got together today and talked about so much from back then. All of our crushes, people we still talk to now and all the stuff in between. I hope not to let myself get out of touch with her again... We were so close then and maybe again soon???

Beach House Vacation 2008

2008-08-31T16:10:00.000-07:00

So our family rented a Beach house again this time in San Diego! We had a blast and it was super relaxing... These pictures are in no order to I'm sorry for that! This picture was taken the last night we were here.
The drive home was rainy but Cooper didn't even notice with the movie going and reading a book! Traveling in style...

Cooper and his cousin Jack showing me their moves!

On our way out of Sea World we had to stop and watch the live dance show!
I think my boy is hiding under that hat???
Super Cute!

Cooper was supposed to be in this picture but he ran after Hailee...
Cooper decided he needed to pee and obviously decided it was right now... the bathrooms were a few minutes walk from there. I'm sure I'm not the first parent to cover my child while peeing in public! Yikes!!! Thanks G'Ma for taking the pictures...

Cooper and I love this show it is so funny. About 8 years ago Chris and I went to Sea World and actually got pulled out of the audience and had to do a little skit in this show, great laughs and good stories to tell Cooper later!
Cooper was the only one who realized I was taking a picture.
There's that darn map again...
We got to feed the dolphins and "flipper" wanted his picture taken too...

Skate Land Party

2008-08-22T15:16:00.000-07:00

Ready to leave for Skate Land!
Excited to put the skates on!
As long as he stayed still he would not fall over!
Snail speed!

Thursday night was "Welcome back to School" at Skate Land in Mesa. That is all Cooper could talk about ever since he brought home the flyer. So we put it on the calendar and kept asking him if he was sure he wanted to go since he had never been there and had NO idea what it was or even how to skate? He was adamit about going so we did! First of all the place looks the exact same as it did 15-20 years ago (wow that just aged me) Secondly as soon as we got our skates on I almost fell over not knowing that 15 years and a lot of gravity later I was not so lite on my feet! Anyways Cooper got so excited when the skates were on that he tried right away to stand up and walk that he slipped and it was over... no more getting off the bench! I begged, I pleaded, I did what ever it was I could to get him on the rink in the middle to learn with me! NOPE! He must get that stubbornness from his dad... So the rest of the night I spent walking behind his little foot steps at snail speed just walking around as he pointed out kids in his class to me. He says he had a good time and wanted to know we did not bring our skates home with us?

Just a random photo

2008-08-22T15:12:00.000-07:00

Cooper was out swimming the other night when I got home (naked) and I took a bunch of photos that can not be shown due to the nakedness, but this one is my favorite. He looks so cute and gave me just the perfect look at the right time. I love you Cooper and all the smiles you bring me!

Mommy's boy!

2008-08-13T17:13:00.000-07:00

Cooper and I were getting ready to leave the house and he thought he "looked good", so he said mom let's take a picture. I thought it was funny and he is certainly MY child... I love to photograph him doing everything and nothing at all, I loved it!

First Day of his new School, Pre-K

2008-08-11T18:14:00.000-07:00

Ok, I'm all ready to go!
Daddy just got home from work in time to go to school with us this morning, he was very tired but would not miss this for the world!
Room 1D, Miss Heather and Miss Tiffany's room.
A very burnt mommy with her very grown up four year old.
This picture was taken through the window cause no parents were allowed in once the bell rang for class...

So today Cooper started Pre-K at the Montessori school on Lindsey and Southern by our house! This was a big day for him and he handled it like a champ... (mom not so much!) He woke

up and said today is my first day of school and was so excited to go. Chris got home and made Cooper his very delicious blue berry pancakes to help start the day off great! Of course there were pictures to be taken and slightly damp eyes along with the goodbyes. He didn't even flinch when he went into his room (without me) boo hoo... Chris picked him and cooper said "he had a good day but some other child did not cause he got yelled at already for being bad" Well as long as it was not my child.

On another good note a little boy that is in Cooper's class is a son of a guy I went to school with (Richard Cruz) so it was nice to see the boys together. Richard and I have run into each other a few times in the past few years and it is great to be able to see the kids grow up together...

Diver dude...

2008-08-07T18:38:00.001-07:00

For Cooper's B-Day his Grandma and Grandpa Webber bought him this scuba " Cars" set. He loves to be in the water so it was an immediate trial the next afternoon! He did not think he could really breath under water so he had to try it out. It was so cute.
What a little poser...
I love this picture, he looks really sweet!
He HAD to try and make sure it worked...
Nice outfit dude. Who dressed you today?

Last of the party pics!

2008-08-03T11:14:00.000-07:00

At the end of the party Cooper told us he had a great time and that he loved us very much. That makes everything worth it!
My very wonderful husband Chris and I. Tired and ready for an after party nap!
Cooper protecting his gift basket.
On our way out the door.

Presents and cake!

2008-08-03T11:07:00.000-07:00

All eyes on you Coop!
Trying to get the candles to blow out..
I'm pretty sure they passed out forks Cooper!
Time for the gifts.
Cooper has been a fan of "Cars" since the movie came out 2 years ago!

Yep more party pics...

2008-08-03T10:58:00.000-07:00

I'm not real sure what Chris and Marc are doing here, and I might not want to know either...
This would have been a nice family picture if the kid in the middle would have smiled... Thanks buddy!
Cooper standing at the front of the line to go open presents and have cake!
My little guy is getting so big, so fast!
Cooper has such a fetish with sharks right now so this was the appropriate cake for the party...

Party continued...

2008-08-03T10:50:00.000-07:00

This boy loves the camera... Thank Goodness!
Cooper was trying really hard to get the GIANT boxing glove on to take me down, but no luck! too big!

Party Time!

2008-08-03T10:42:00.000-07:00

Cooper woke up at 6:15 and said" it's my Birthday today" so our day began...
He wanted waffles for breakfast so we took him ti Village Inn, where he had a giant Belgian waffle!

Getting ready to go down the big slide...
Whee...

Happy Birthday Cooper

2008-08-02T07:05:00.000-07:00

Today is my big guys 4th Birthday!

So 4 years ago today Chris and I went to our weekly check-up at Dr. Peachy's office and he asked us what time was good for us to deliver today? (we were having a scheduled C-section) We had earlier decided that August 2ND would be our date because Chris was born on May 2ND and he wanted Cooper to be born the same day of the month. Anyways we said whenever the OR had time we were ready! Dr. Peachy called the OR with us sitting in front of him and said how about 4:30 this afternoon? Good by us! So we went home and Chris went and did a few more things for work to kill some time, and I went for one last swim and took a nap! We left for the hospital around 2pm and was hooked up to an IV around 2:45pm. They took us back at 4:15 and by 4:46pm Cooper was born. weighting in at 7lbs 13oz and was 19in...Now we knew he was a boy since 13 weeks but it was just as exciting to here the doctor yell "it's a boy" Chris was super excited to meet his son and got to spend some good father and son bonding time while I was being out back together again!!! I didn't cry when he was born but I cry every time now when I think about that experience and how lucky we are to have such a healthy and all around good kid.

I love you Cooper you are the best!!!

Pictures from today's party will follow later today!

Out like a light at 3pm

2008-07-27T15:05:00.001-07:00

SO while I was updating my "Summer Luvin" blog Cooper was in his room next door watching cartoons and talking to me, the very next minute I asked him something and I got NO response

...So... I got up and went in his room to find this??? Yep, out cold in a matter of seconds! Wow what a day of swimming will do to a darn near 4 year old! Just thought it was funny to share!

P.S. Tracy notice the bed??? He has loved it since the day he turned two! Forever greatful!

Summer luvin...

2008-07-27T15:05:00.000-07:00

Like most of us moms, we are the ones usually behind the camera! Well Chris got hold of my camera while we were swimming this weekend so I'm actually in a picture with my little guy, who by the way will be 4 August 2ND... YIKES!!!
Why do they always try to get away from us?
I love his happy laugh!
Come back here you little.....
Ahh, the good ole days when he was just my little baby! I really do miss those times when he WANTED me to hold him this way!

Lunch with good friends...

2008-07-24T19:08:00.000-07:00

So my very good friend Renae came into town this weekend for a visit between contracts and we went to our favorite meeting place... Oregano's! Yummy! Vicki, Anacecilia, Renae and I all worked together at St. Joe's in the ICU we have all gone our separate ways in the medical field but manage to stay close. We are all actually going on a weeks long "girls trip" to Lake Tahoe in November! I can't wait, we will be sledding and skiing for a week. I have some super friends and enjoy spending time with them all.

Showlow, but not solo....

2008-07-22T18:44:00.000-07:00

Cooper and I drove up to Showlow last weekend to see my very long time friend Cedar Skinner and her family. They welcomed us with open arms and lots of food... Yes, I'm pretty sure we ate all the time. We had a blast and got to talking about so many memories. Some we shared and some that we missed but needed to be shared! Cedar I will not let our friendship go lost again, you were and always will be my friend! Thanks for the awesome weekend and yes Heath I will bring Chris next time...
Awww...
My love, my life....

2008-07-22T18:38:00.000-07:00

Cute picture Skinner's

My guy and I....

2008-07-22T18:33:00.000-07:00

Heath brought home frogs for the kids and they were thrilled. Warts here we come... yummy!

Getting ready to put them in the pond in the yard, probably safer for the frogs to be out of the children's control!
Swim to freedom little froggies, swim....

2008-07-22T18:26:00.000-07:00

I love this picture of Cheyenne monkeying around...
Yep Cooper is wearing boots, not really a look we do much around our house! That's probably why he likes it...

Friends since the 2ND grade, I'm sure we look the same... alright maybe not! Our boys love "CARS"
Cooper had a long and very fun day up at the Skinner's household. Thanks for letting us stay guys!

2008-07-22T18:15:00.000-07:00

Yep! we took the kids to experience the real "Route 66" Cedar and I certainly got our "kicks" at the Alco in Holbrook! That was a different place to be... but I will never forget it!
The first night the kids watched Heath hit a few... Cooper LOVES golf, he goes to the range a lot with Chris and his very own little clubs.
Rhett playing innocent, we all know better!
Same thing for Coop, not so innocent!
Cheyenne was helping Cooper get up in the tree. When I told her Thank You for helping him she said " that's what friends do" Great answer Cheyenne, great work raising her Cedar!

Silly boy...

2008-07-19T18:36:00.001-07:00

Cooper loves to be silly, exspecially when I turn the camera on him. These were taken last night just playing around in the kitchen!

Also for some reason he looks super blonde to me in these pics. Hmmm...

6 days later...

2008-07-16T20:59:00.000-07:00

So these are from Wed. night and his nose looks GREAT! The skin tone color is coming into it, and healing well! I can't believe it looks so different in just 6 days. We have been told it could take as long as a year to heal to where no one can tell it was ever different, I guess we will see! So far so good...

Healing process...

2008-07-16T20:40:00.000-07:00

Ok, so these are Monday and it still looks soooo juicy and fresh. That is the graft from behind his ear onto his nose.

His ear looks pretty good already but Chris says it hurts badly...

So Monday Chis went to the doctor and got the clearence to go back to work but to be VERY careful with dirt and dust particle around his face. The graft has taken well so far but is so delicate and can still be ruined! I will do my best to keep him and his nose clean... These pics are sorta nasty but they mean he is healing correctly both on his nose and behind his ear! I hope nobody minds seeing these?

Moments after surgery...

2008-07-14T19:11:00.000-07:00

Chris went in at 1:15 and was in the recovery room by 1:55pm. The doctor came to me in the waiting room and told me they got it all in one try! Great news they did not have to take a bigger margin. Because Chris had worked the night before and had NO sleep at all since the day before he was super hard to wake up in the recovery room. The nurse kept coming by to check on him and see if we were ready to go home but my dear tired hubby could not keep his eyes open long enough. He was pretty funny though he kept reaching up to his lip asking me if they took his lip off because he could not feel it at all. I swear he was drunk beyond belief... He really was not! Anyways almost 2 hours in the recovery room (you are usually only there for an hour) we were discharged home. He quickly feel asleep even though he was complaining of a HUGE headache, and woke up to an upset stomach.. (VOMIT) not my favorite thing, but I felt sooo bad for him it had to hurt so bad to do that hours after all those stitches were put in. Monday the 14Th was his doctors appointment to get the bandages taken off so we will see what it really looks like under there. More too come...

Surgery day has come...

2008-07-09T17:03:00.000-07:00

Well it has been a long time coming but tomorrow July 10Th is surgery day for my husband Chris. For a long time his nose had this little scab on it that just WOULD not go away... months and months go by and I am telling him it is cancer and it needs to be looked at by a doctor. I know I am not a nurse but I do work in a hospital and have for 6 years but I'm an idiot and know nothing... right? Wrong! He finally had it looked at after his mother got on him about it... and big surprise the results came back CANCER!!! Ha, I told him that! Anyways it is the best cancer to have ( basel cell carcinoma) if you are going to have it. I know, no cancer is good! Needless to say our doctor who I hand picked from working in the OR now that I have LOTS of connections said it probably developed when he was a teenager and is now coming around. If any of you know Chris he is Mr. White guy and wears a ton of sunblock all the time.

Anyways he will be going under right about 1pm on Thursday and they will be taking a skin graft from behind his left ear to place on the left side of his nose. Honestly, I am worried how it will look and so is Chris. He is even a little nervous... I think he is more upset about the fact that he can not play golf or swim with Cooper and I for a few weeks than the fact that his nose is getting hacked up! Hopefully they can clear all the margins on his nose and we won't have to keep digging deeper. I'll let you all know how it turns out later next week. Keep good thoughts please!

On a good note: Cooper and I are going up to see my very long time friend Cedar Skinner up in Snowflake this weekend to give Chris some quite time in front of his new flat screen to relax and not do anything that can harm the graft.

My son Cooper will be turning 4 on August 2nd, so today we went and had hid picture taken. I was a proud "Picture People" customer for a long time but since the one in the mall closed down I have been forced to use Kiddie Kandids... SO this is what we got! Cooper has ALWAYS been a fan of the camera since it has been all up in his face since hour one of life! He did a great job, I wish I could say that for the lady behind the camera? She had no clue as how to talk to him or even really pose him. Good thing I will do anything for a smile...

Happy Father's Day!!!

My husband Chris and his father played golf out at Wild Horse Pass today and the rest of us joined them for lunch afterwards. It was a very nice day! Cooper made Chris a bag of goodies at school this week and Chris loved it all.

Chillin on the moving alligator! Cooper and Cousin Hailee
In the wave pool!
I know you all are jealous of my hat, but it kept the sun from my face and head!
Watching Hailee and daddy out in the wave pool. He was not quite sure about it yet.

We took Cooper and his cousin Hailee to Big Surf today for the first time, and had so much fun. They have two perfect areas just for small children and it was fabulous to say the least. We had a great time and will definitely go back for more...

My Little Racer......

2008-06-13T19:18:00.000-07:00

Last Weekend Cooper went with his G'Ma McKibben too see the Sprint Car racers! HE LOVES IT... He gets to stay up late and watch fast little cars, what is better than that for a soon to be 4 year old? G'Mas friend bought him this shirt and he could not wait to show Chris and I the next day. He was so proud.
Needless to say staying up late forced him to sleep pretty early that afternoon...

Summer time is here....

2008-06-11T15:22:00.000-07:00

This past weekend we spent some much needed family time in the pool. It is still a little chilly, notice my whimpy husband sitting on the side! Cooper has been such a great swimmer since he was very little due to a season of lessons and then just the constant backyard lessons mom gave him. He is a little fish... Cooper's favorite thing to do is have Chris throw him up in the air and fall into the water. He comes up smiling everytime! My heart stops everytime I watch this, but he loves it! It also makes

for perfect photography action shots.

Daisy is the little dog in the water, she hates swimming but loves to run around the deck barking. Bruce Lee the big blonde dog is the dog fish in the family, we can NEVER get him out of the pool. In this picture she fell in and it was almost like Bruce was trying to help her and was concerned because she could not get out on her own. Don't worry Chris came around and saved her...

All about CARS!!!

2008-06-08T17:19:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry but I had to post these pics! Everything Cooper does is "CARS" and I mean everything. Chris bought him some new books last night and Cooper was very excited, I heard him yelling for me from the potty so I went in there to find this? It might be a little inappropriate to post but how cute is it?

He really gets excited about all types of cars. And he finds all the ones that look like it comes from the movie CARS! Which I might add we are on our third copy since it gets played soooo much.

Nap time is over.....

2008-06-08T08:00:00.000-07:00

Cooper woke up (all by himself) yesterday from his nap in a rage of fury! Just sat up and was angry at the world. I'm sure everyones kids do this but holy cow don't take it out on mom and dad kid! So of course I ran for the camera and started taking snaps which probably did NOT help the situation, at all!

Watching the roof open was cool, but watching Kenny perform was FABULOUS!!! This picture of Elise and I was taken 7 hours into the concert but still going strong.

KENNY CHESNEY Poets and Pirates Tour 2008

2008-06-03T19:02:00.001-07:00

I went to the concert on Saturday with a friend from work and we were there for 9 hours and I loved every minute of it. I sang my heart out like I was in the car all by myself rockin out!!!

Keith Urban is so pretty, I could have taken 1000 pictures of him.

2008-06-02T18:28:00.000-07:00

Even though he is playing Basketball with his dad, he still has time for a photo! I must say he is trained well.
That smile gets me every time!
Cooper and Chica taking what is I'm sure a much needed rest! Playing hard is very tough work...

Chris, Cooper and I went for our family pictures this weekend and we got some real good ones. Cooper is growing up so fast and looking more and more like his dad. I could not be more proud of the family we have created together! I am very new to the blog world but love to update family and freinds on how we are all doing. So I will do my best to keep this up... (with all my free time and all)
